From the Editor
Don't Be Tardy for Your Party
Y
ou may think celebrations are limited to wedding anniversaries and milestone birthdays, but in this issue we encourage you to celebrate those monumental events while also appreciating a few of the little things you may be overlooking.
Celebrate special moments with friends and loved ones Sometimes we underestimate the value of meaningful moments we share with those closest to us. It could be a weekly phone conversation with a friend or an afternoon reminiscing with a relative that can lift your spirits. Being able to spend quality time with those closest to you is worth celebrating because of the joy they add to your life. If you feel you don’t have many of these moments to look forward to, reach out and set up some time together with others you have missed, because someone else is probably feeling the same way. Celebrate someone else Planning special celebrations for loved ones who have reached a milestone in their lives is a great way to lift their spirits and is a reminder of how much you value their presence. Read the A Party to Remember feature (p.28) for inspiration on how you can plan a celebration that will create a lasting memory. Celebrate yourself + summer Reward yourself for every small or large accomplishment you achieve. Use the warm and sunny days as justification for exploring many of the fun places around town. Our Five Ways to Catch the Sunshine feature (p.16) will provide you with summer excursions that will help you make the most of your summer days. Start your party now, and turn more moments of your life into celebrations.

T
he first time I drove a car with a blind spot indicator was on a cold fall morning in 2016 as I drove a friend’s car back to Louisville from the airport in Cincinnati. She flew off to sunny Florida, while I headed back to snow flurries. As I drove, a yellow indicator light lit up every time a car was approaching me. After the car had passed, the yellow light would go off.
It was reassuring to know when I could safely change lanes in the increasing morning rush hour traffic. After I got the hang of it, I decided that every car should have this blind spot technology. Through the use of multiple cameras and radar sensors, there are loads of high tech safety features available on cars today that assist the driver like a co-pilot.
They not only make it safer to change lanes but also to avoid fender benders, reduce the likelihood of hitting pedestrians and wildlife, keep you from drifting out of your lane, aid you in backing up safely, and help you to perform the trickiest of maneuvers — parallel parking. “I think the safety features that manufacturers are putting in new cars today are going to help all of us on the highway and in parking lots,” says Teresa Bachman, owner/vice president of Bachman Chevrolet. “So many accidents happen in parking lots. Think of all the times you’ve nearly bumped into somebody’s car because you didn’t see it. With all these mirrors and cameras, it’s really helpful.” Bret Veatch, Audi brand manager at Bluegrass Motor Sport, says,“It’s not self-driving by any means, but it will make the stress for the driver significantly less.” Because costs are getting lower for these technologies, a wide variety of car makes and models now have these safety features.
Read about Marie's test drives with these new features on page 10.
Heavenly
Features to Look for Here are some assist features that are either standard or available for new cars: Back-up camera: When you shift into reverse, the console screen automatically displays what is behind you to help you avoid hitting an object or a person. Rear Cross Traffic Alert: You are notified if sensors detect a vehicle or pedestrian when you are backing out of a parking spot. Blindspot Indicator Light: A monitor constantly scans alongside and behind your vehicle, and if it detects a vehicle in your blind spot, it displays a yellow warning signal light on your side mirror. Park Sensors: When you are within 8 feet of an obstacle, the car will beep faster and faster, the closer you get, which helps you avoid hitting cars and curbs when parking. Active Park Assist: It parks the car with no assistance from the driver.

Summer 2018 / TodaysTransitions.com
Lane Departure Warning: Unless your turn signal is on, a beeping alert will notify you when you are drifting out of your lane. This is great if you are getting drowsy. Lane Keep Assist: If you accidentally drift out of your lane, the car will self-guide back into its lane. Following Distance Indicator: Lets you know if you are too close to the vehicle ahead in order to avoid tailgating and rearend collisions. Automatic High Beams: At night — when there are no tail lights forward and no oncoming vehicle — the high beams come on automatically. They switch back to low beams when the area is brighter or other cars are present. Night Vision: As a way to identify potential dangers, images of pedestrians and wildlife on the road are projected onto
the windshield at night so you can avoid hitting them. Heads Up Display: Information such as the speed limit, your speed, and lane lines are projected onto the lower windshield. You can monitor this info while keeping your eyes on the road. Low-Speed Forward Automatic Braking: Especially good in parking lots when driving less than 10 mph. If the car detects a pedestrian, it will automatically brake. Forward Collision Alert Notification: The car will flash its lights and beep to alert you to hit the brakes when a collision is imminent. Automatic Emergency Braking: The driver is warned of an imminent collision, and if the driver doesn’t respond, the car will automatically apply the brakes. PAGE 10 >>

My Test Drives
Marie's Take on the New Safety Features
• 2018 CHEVY TRAVERSE,
• 2018 AUDI A4 SEDAN,
By Marie Bradby
• 2018 FORD FUSION,
premiere model, fully loaded, $48,220
starting at $40,500; fully loaded, $51,550
from the S to the Platinum, $25,900 to $39,900
The family-friendly Traverse, which can seat up to eight (enough space for a soccer team or all of your grandchildren) is loaded with at least eight high-tech driver-assist features. With a car this big, it’s like having a copilot. After Mike Davenport — a salesman with Bachman Chevrolet who posts zany car blog videos as the Chevy Dude on YouTube — went over the car’s features, we headed for I-64 East for a spin with me at the wheel. The first thing you notice is how much visual information you get. For example, when pulling this big vehicle out of its parking space on the car lot, a display on the center console became a split screen and I could see cars in front of and behind me, light poles, curbs, and even the salespeople who were dashing around. By flipping a switch, I activated the Rearview Mirror Surround Vision Camera. Multiple cameras give you a nearly 180-degree view of what is behind and on both sides of you. I could keep tabs on the heavy traffic around me. For the Lane Keep Assist, he had me guide the car a little left and take my hands off the steering wheel. The car gently returned to its lane. Cool. Back at the Bachman dealership, the car began beeping after I got out. I had left my purse and tote bag on the floor in the back. The Backseat Detector will alert you if you have left something in the back seat or on the floor. It could be groceries; it could be a child.
The Audi A4 has a sporty, luxury feel and enough displays and information to satisfy the pilot of a 737 airplane. Patti Vine, an Audi brand specialist with Bluegrass Motorsport, walked me through the many safety features such as the Top View Camera Assist. With the help of information combined from four cameras, I had a view of the car from the top down on the display console, which showed me a 360-degree view around the car. It was great for pulling out of the busy parking lot at the dealership. While merging onto the highway in the heavy afternoon traffic, I used the Side Assist Light to change lanes and to be aware of cars in my blind spot. As I drove, the Heads Up Display projected the speed limit and my speed onto the bottom of the windshield, allowing me to monitor this info while keeping my eyes on the road. Other assist features on this car include: • The Audi Pre Sense Basic will give you an audible signal if you get too close to the car in front; and if it senses an imminent collision, will automatically stop your car. • Audi Pre Sense City is a low-speed collision assist. If the car senses a pedestrian ahead while you are moving at up to 52 miles per hour, it will slow the car down to 25 mph or less and, if necessary, activate full deceleration. “The manufacturer did a redesign in 2017, and this new model has the most up-to-date safety features in its incarnation,” Patti says.
I pulled out of the lot at Oxmoor Ford in my ruby red Ford Fusion Titanium, and the first thing I noticed was all the information that I needed was neatly in front of me on an uncluttered instrument panel. “It’s for an intuitive driving experience,” says Bob Anderson, the Lincoln concierge. On the left of the panel was the 4.2 inch LCD Vehicle System Info Box, in the middle was the speedometer information, and on the right was the Infotainment Box, which mirrors the 8-inch center stack. I could give all my attention to driving, because I didn’t have to shift my gaze to the center console. You can get the Ford Fusion loaded with driver assist features, including Pre-collision Assist (to avoid rear-ending someone), Pedestrian Detection (to be aware of the runner out for an evening jog), Cross Traffic Alerts (great for backing up), etc. I was able to confidently merge from I-64 onto the Watterson Expressway, using the Blind Spot Detector. When I drifted, the Lane Keep Assist made a soft beep and the steering wheel vibrated gently to warn me. The Driver Alert System, which monitors reductions in driver attention, puts up a coffee cup symbol to recommend that the driver stop and rest. This car would be great for long-distance driving. Also available are Parallel Parking Assist and Parallel Park-Out Assist for getting into and out of those urban spaces for both the left and right sides of the street. Reverse Perpendicular Parking Assist helps you to back into parking spaces at the grocery store or the mall. Eight airbags come standard, and you can also get Inflatable Rear Outboard Safety Belts, which instantly inflate and deflate to keep the rear passenger pressed into the back of the seat during an accident.

PROBLEM: Hearing
Loss
As you add another candle to your birthday cake, you might begin to notice that your hearing isn’t as sharp as it once was. It might be brought to your attention by loved ones complaining that the TV or radio is too loud, or you might find it increasingly difficult to follow conversations in noisy rooms or restaurants. Dr. Ingrid Edwards, the audiology team leader at Heuser Hearing Institute, suggests two types of products that can help whether or not you wear a hearing aid. But regardless of your hearing needs, remember to use earplugs or protective ear gear when engaged in any noisy activity, and consult a hearing specialist before inserting any device in your ear.
SOLUTION:
SOLUTION:
Personal Sound Amplification Products (PSAPs)
Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)
Intended for use by people who do not wear hearing aids, a personal sound amplification product is neither a medical device nor a replacement for a hearing aid. It can, however, provide a boost when watching TV, listening to lectures or distant speakers, or trying to keep up with conversations in noisy environments. “It’s appropriate for people who have a very mild hearing loss or just situational problems,” Dr. Edwards says. PSAPs come in many different forms, shapes, and sizes. Some deliver sound via earphones while others may be placed inside the ear. Higher-end PSAPs are adjustable not only for volume but also for frequency, and can be synced with your phone or other electronic devices.
While there is overlap in functionality with PSAPs, assistive listening devices can also be used by people with more significant hearing impairment. “You can use an assistive listening device by itself if you have situational hearing loss, or by using different hardware you can pair it with a hearing aid or cochlear implant to stream the sound directly to your ear,” Dr. Edwards says. ALDs come in wired, Bluetooth, FM, infrared, and induction loop systems, and most public venues are now set up to offer use of the technology to anyone who needs it.
Cost: $50 to $500 and up depending on the device and features.
Where to get them: Amazon, RadioShack, online retailers, and most audiology centers offer a variety of PSAPs and ALDs. An audiologist can guide you in choosing a device that best meets your needs. Cost: $50 to $500 and up depending on the device and features.

TECH TALK
By Megan M. Seckman
Shedding Some Light on Smart Lighting Options
H
ome automation — the use of technology to control our basic household tasks — is penetrating our homes faster than you can say, “Hello, Alexa.” By 2020, more than 18 percent of U.S. homes will have some smart feature. One of the least expensive and most accessible smart home devices on the market now is the smart light switch — a much more affordable option than smart lights. Just like a traditional light switch, these devices are generally mounted in the wall but link to your smartphone and can be controlled through an app. When you are away from home, you can control the lighting, fans, and sometimes the thermostat in order to deter break-ins or reduce energy waste. (Imagine being able to cool a room down with your fan 30 minutes before you arrive home.) These devices are easily programmable and relatively user-friendly, but installation may require an electrician. If you live in an older home, you may need to update the wiring or replace the electrical box as smart switches tend to be larger than the traditional ones. With the multitude on the market now, you may be in the dark as to which one to choose. Let me shed some light on the newest trend in home automation.
Leviton Decora
This product was at the top of several review lists for overall value and versatility. It supports three-way switches (multiple switches that control a device within a room) and allows you to dim, control light schedules, and program the types of bulbs through your Google Home or Alexa base. Simply say “Turn porch lights on at 8” and it’s done. The downside, though, is you need to have the smart home base. Cost: $48 on Amazon
26 Summer 2018 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com
Philips Hue Dimmer Switch
Reviewers loved this product for its easy installation and simple aesthetics that blend in with existing decor. There is no electrician needed to install this product due to its sleek peel-and-stick design, however you do need to have existing Philips Hue products and bulbs. Voice controlled through Siri, this product can dim and turn lights on and off from remote locations, and it’s a value (after you purchase the Philips Hue Bridge for $59). Cost: $25 on Amazon
Ecobee Switch
This product costs twice as much as other smart switches but offers the most features. A motion sensor allows lights to automatically turn on and off as you move about your house; a small nightlight can be activated for maneuvering at night, and a built-in thermostat allows you to moderate the temperature in your house in order to save energy. The features, although robust, are not programmable. Alexa is already installed in this product. Cost: $99

for the party to be decked out with all of the items Bob had grown accustomed to seeing every day. Bob’s wife, Debbie, says, “We had insulators we decorated with, and Bob made little utility poles and strung wire from pole to pole so it looked like you were driving down the road.” A quilt Bob’s sister made from 42 years’ worth of Bob’s Duke Energy uniforms was also on display, along with wire spools that held Bob’s boots and hooks, hard hats, awards, and other items he had collected over time. When asked about the best part of the party, Bob and Debbie both immediately answered, “the people.” Since Bob had worked with Duke for so long, it was no surprise that his party was filled with all of the people he had met
A perfect party is one that’s filled with family and friends. This was a priority for Tilly Barr when she started planning a surprise 90th birthday party for her father, Jelle. To make sure everyone important to him could be in attendance, she began sending out invitations six weeks before the party. Making sure everything felt personalized for her father was also important to Tilly. One way she accomplished this was by representing all of the places he has lived, a part of his history of which he is very proud. The flags of the Netherlands, Indonesia, Japan, and the United States were included on his birthday cake and also prominently displayed on the wall. Tilly also hung a special picture of her father on a warm sunny day, sitting on the deck of Mike Linnig’s restaurant in Louisville, a and befriended along the spot that reminded him of way. “We had lots of people. growing up in Indonesia. We counted about 160.

personal,” Debbie says. “It was all about Bob.” Telling the story of her parents’ marriage was the goal of the 50th anniversary party Rachel McWhirter threw in August. Through pictures, inside jokes, and unique activities, she was able to celebrate the past 50 years of their life together. For a visual representation of their marriage, she used old and new pictures. “We had tons of old family pictures from the time they were dating to current — kind of through the years, starting with them and ending with them and all the kids and grandkids,” Rachel says. To represent their hometown, all of the beverages were displayed with chalkboards adorned with the local nicknames of each drink,
“Everyone was crying, everyone was laughing. It ended up being good.” — RACHEL MCWHIRTER
such as “mud soup” instead of coffee. In order to give the guests a chance to show their love and appreciation for the married couple, Rachel had the idea to give everyone a chance to speak. “We did an open mic where people could come forward and share memories,” she says. “Everyone was crying, everyone was laughing. It ended up being good.” As someone who is no stranger to planning parties, Rachel knew that in order for this party to be great, she needed to be organized while planning it. “A big thing for me is a timeline. I do everything in a timeline and give myself short-term goals
that I need to have done,” she says. She also made sure to include her parents in the planning. “I asked them their opinion on who they wanted to invite, what kind of food they wanted. I wanted them to feel comfortable in the atmosphere and for it to be things they were familiar with.” Ina Miller of Ina Marcella Events is an expert at planning these kinds of celebrations. According to Ina, the key to a successful party is to make sure it’s personal for the guest of honor. “Build in that emotional aspect. Make it personalized for that person,” Ina says. This can be done in many different ways, such as displaying old photos, playing songs that have a special meaning, or decorating with a theme that is specific to that person. Another important piece of party planning is preserving the memories. Milestone birthdays, 50th anniversaries, and retirement are all significant events that you’re going to want to be able to remember and share the memories with younger generations. The best way to do that is through photos. “You're going to have those photos after an event to look on and remember,” Ina says. “It's a thing you can keep with you forever. Your memories can fade, but the photos are still there.” In the end, the most important part of planning an event is to remember that it’s something that’s supposed to be fun. “Make sure you’re having fun doing it. Make sure it's just as enjoyable for you. The person you’re doing it for will appreciate it more if you’re not stressing out over it.”

Magnificent Mona Bismarck, Kentucky Style icon
FRAZIER HISTORY MUSEUM Learn more about a homegrown fashion icon at the retrospective on the style of Mona Bismarck, a mid-century socialite from Louisville whose beauty and haute couture won her the title of Best-Dressed Woman in the World. “Her extraordinary catlike eyes and blue-grey hair are New York phenomena,” stated Vogue in 1936 — “[and] her dressing is high art.” A major client of Balenciaga and other world-class designers, she helped popularize several trends in women’s wear, including halter neck tops, asymmetrical bias-cut dresses, colorless nail polish, aquamarine, and double-strand pearls. The exhibit features 50 ensembles spanning five decades of her haute couture, beginning in her Golden Years of the 1930s and concluding in the 1970s. Magnificent Mona Bismarck will contain four galleries: History and Pre-war; Day Wear and Cocktail Wear; Evening Wear; and her Greatest Love, gardening. Special attention is given to Bismarck’s intimate collaborations with the designers Cristóbal Balenciaga, Hubert de Givenchy, and Madeleine Vionnet, and jewelers Belperron and Verdura.

Over the River & Through the Woods
DERBY DINNER PLAYHOUSE Laughter — guilt — lasagna! This family comedy, written by Joe DiPietro, features Nick, a single, Italian-American from New Jersey, who, since his parents have moved to Florida, now sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. The story opens with Nick revealing the news that he’s been offered a dream job — a job that would take him away from his beloved, but annoying, grandparents. Nick’s news doesn’t sit well, though. “How could he betray his family’s love and move to Seattle?” his grandparents wail in unison. And thus begins a series of schemes by the quartet to keep Nick around, schemes that include bringing to dinner a lovely single girl as bait. The cast includes longtime DDP favorites Brian Bowman, Cary Wiger, Tina Jo Wallace, J.R. Stuart, and Rita Thomas.

The Floyd Central Theatre Arts production of Disney’s Newsies > THE KENTUCKY CENTER Based on true events, Disney’s Newsies was a 1992 feature film before it became a smash Broadway hit in 2012. “Newsies is a timely story because it is about the powerful voice that young people have when an entire generation rallies together,” says Floyd Central High School Director of Theatre Arts Robbie Steiner via email. “Not unlike the teenage voices that have recently been speaking out against school gun violence and as part of the #Metoo movement, the teenage newsies of 1899 changed their world by challenging the most powerful men in New York and across the nation. At a time when the voices of our youth are being heard loud and clear, it has been exciting to work on this piece with a group of dedicated teenagers,” Steiner says. Newsies features new choreography and a score by Alan Menken of Disney’s Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast fame.

Her Advice: ‘Just Move’ By Victoria DeWilligen Photo by Aubrey Hillis
A
t 71 years old, Judy Look is doing more things than most people do in their 20s. On top of being a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a congressional aide, Judy also teaches yoga at the YMCA in downtown Louisville. While most people would be overwhelmed by such a busy lifestyle, Judy enjoys keeping her schedule full. “I love it,” she says. “I’ve always said, ‘When you stop learning, you might as well just throw in the towel.’ As long as I’m doing things where I feel like I’m learning, then I’ve got a ton of energy. I don’t want to give any of it up.” Judy felt uncomfortable and embarrassed when she first began taking yoga classes. She often would hide in the back of the class so she wouldn’t be noticed, but she stuck with it and continued to get more comfortable each time she went. Eventually, she decided that she really loved yoga and got certified as a YogaFit instructor. Now, she teaches at the YMCA. “I love teaching at the Y, and I love people who take yoga down at the Y. ” Judy likes to describe her yoga class as “nontraditional.” In addition to traditional yoga, she tends to incorporate other types of exercises into her classes to make them even more beneficial for the people who attend. “People have just so much time to dedicate to fitness,” she says. “I try to incorporate a little Pilates in it. Sometimes I’ll do iron yoga, using weights in the yoga poses.” She also likes to stay away from traditional
yoga music, sometimes playing James Taylor, Seal, or any other requests she receives. While staying fit is a definite benefit to taking Judy’s class, she believes the biggest benefit is having that hour to take time to slow down, focus on what your body is feeling, and pay attention to your breathing. Many people think yoga is about learning how to twist your body into crazy shapes or “becoming a pretzel,” but Judy says that’s not where the value of yoga lies. “Yoga is all about breathing,” she explains. “If you can incorporate breathing into your everyday life, you have basically mastered yoga. Yoga is really designed to get you through daily life, breathing As long as she is able, through difficult Judy Look plans to stay times.” active and busy with her grandchildren, teaching Yoga classes like yoga classes, and more.

The Very Last Day By Bob Mueller
M
any times in my hospice work I hear people say, “Live life like it’s your very last day.” I get it. Learn to appreciate everything around you because it might not be here tomorrow. This is a very important lesson. Sometimes people take that expression to mean that you should live life without caring — that you can do anything you want because tomorrow might not arrive.
BUT TOMORROW IS NEVER LOST BECAUSE IT WILL NEVER EXIST. IT’S ALWAYS TODAY. TRY IT. TOMORROW WHEN YOU WAKE UP, WHERE DID TOMORROW GO? IT’S NOW TODAY AGAIN. In fact, you will most likely never know a time when you are not alive. It’s everyone else you need to think about. This may seem like a silly way to say it, but don’t worry. Thinking of it this way could change your life. Think of someone you love, or many people you love, or even people you don’t care that much for. What if you got into a fight with one of them? What if they died today?
Here’s a new saying to try out. See how this improves the interactions you have today. “Treat everyone else as if it’s their very last day.” If you do this you will be kind to them, try to help them be less stressed, try to fulfill their dreams for the day, not talk about them but hug them or give them a compliment. You will also really listen to them. I will listen to everyone’s last words today without interrupting them. Even if I can finish their sentences because I am light-years ahead of them, I will let them finish their sentences. In fact, not only let them finish what they have to say but show respect. I will learn from them. I will imagine that some universal life force is speaking to me through everyone else. I will listen carefully for clues that I can decipher later. These are their very last words, and I want to learn all I can from their wisdom. Each person you interact with is an angel sent down to teach you a lesson. Don’t you think you had better listen? Even though it may sound a little morbid to imagine that people around us are about to die, in reality, this simple mind trick helps us let go of the mindless selfishness that occupies most of our thoughts. If we are lucky, we might even get out of our constant stream of thoughts and notice the human beings around us in a new light and with a disposition to help.

WHEEL of CARE By Emily Gahafer Illustration by Brittany Granville

“Finding good care is in my opinion one of the most important decisions any family is going to make for an aging loved one,” says Linda Kempf, RN, geriatric care manager and senior care advocate. After losing both of her grandparents to nursing home neglect, Linda dedicated her over 30-year career to turning around some of the most devastating facilities in the city. “[When my grandfather passed away] was probably the defining moment when I decided to become a registered nurse and a director of nursing,” Linda says. “The one thing I knew I would never let happen was the absolute neglect that went on with both of my grandparents. If I could just prevent those kinds of things from occurring, I could do a lot of people a lot of good. It was a passion and commitment that drove me.” Typically, the decision of nursing home or rehab facility falls to the family to make. Over the past few years, Louisville native Patty Kidd has faced the task of finding the proper facility for both her mother and her aunt. “Try to find the best facility that will meet your loved one’s needs,” Patty says. “Ask your friends and relatives for good and bad information, but do your own research online and in person. Narrow your possibilities down and make visits to 3-4 places with a checklist and questions…Ask lots of questions! Visit your loved one often (and at different times), and ask questions to make sure the facility is caring for them properly.” During the course of her career, Linda worked to turn around 10 nursing homes in the Louisville area, one of which was one of the worst in the state. “It was absolutely the pit of the earth… it was horrible, and I had 30 days to either correct 800 pages of citations or it would be shut down, and all of those people would be sent wherever there was a bed,” Linda says. “I just knew it was God’s will and that is how my 30-plus year career started. It became one of the greatest rewards of my life besides my family.” Your family member’s personal comfort is very important. Your confidence in the staff caring for your loved one is most important. Go to great lengths to ensure a wonderful living experience. 42

3 The
Checklist
Here are a few things Linda Kempf, RN, says to pay attention to when looking for a nursing home for a loved one:
3 Let your ears, eyes, and nose be your guide. “Clean people, in clean environments, in clean clothing who are bathed regularly do not reek of urine,” Linda says. “Pay attention to the residents in the building and eyeball them from their head to their feet and see if that’s what you would want for your loved one.”
3 Enter this process with the mindset that this is your loved one’s new home and to view it as such. “There have been a few places that we visited and would not consider because of cleanliness,” says Patty Kidd, who has searched for a facility for family members. “There were also places that we chose before for temporary rehab and would not consider again for long-term care because of staffing issues.” 3 Go several times for several hours and once on a weekend. “These facilities are always low on staff during the weekend. It’s best to go on a Saturday to see how the staff acts,” Linda says. “They will try to put the residents to bed early to avoid having to work as much.”
3 Eat at least two meals at that facility. “I tell families to look into the kitchen area for residents on each hall, and they can tell just about anything they want to know about infection control in that refrigerator,” Linda says. “Families should try to visit and eat a lunch and dinner. Some facilities have been known to keep their food from the day before in an unheated oven for the next day and reheat it in the same oven after it’s been sitting and growing bacteria.” As the family of a prospective resident, facilities will take you on a tour of the kitchen where you are able to inspect the appliances and food safety measures taken. Simply ask the director of the facility for a tour.
3 Check all of the places you would check if you were going to rent an apartment. “Go around and look in the corners of rooms and in closets to see if they’re neat, look at the residents’ fingernails, see if there is food all over their face or spillage on their clothes. These are dead giveaways that something is not right.” 3 Vet the staff. "It’s the little things that tell you what the big things are that aren’t being done,” Linda says. “There are so many things that go on in these facilities, and the staff will often treat the residents for hallucinatory behavior when they in fact are complaining of something that is actually going on.”
MAKE MULTIPLE FACILITY VISITS SO YOU FEEL CONFIDENT YOUR LOVED ONE WILL BE GETTING THE CARE THEY NEED.

From the book: “Nina couldn’t help wondering if the lives of other people were really as simple as they looked. As simple, and as happy.”

Here’s what other area clubs are reading next:
THE DEATH ON THE SHELF MYSTERIES BOOK CLUB WHEN: Third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm WHERE: New Albany-Floyd County Public Library, Applegate Room
Have you read this?
SUNDAY EVENING BOOK CLUB The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry
Anyone is invited to attend The Death on the Shelf Mysteries Book Club even if you are not a Floyd County resident or a member of the library. The number of people attending each month varies from 5 or 6 to as many as 20. The group has been meeting for over 2 years. Kim Robbins, public services librarian, usually facilitates the group; if she can’t be there for a meeting, another librarian will step in. Kim chooses the book based on suggestions from the group and other staff members, and also considers what other book clubs are reading. Kim shared her thoughts on a recent selection, The Boy in the Suitcase by Lene Kaaberbol and Agnete Friis. What have you learned from The Boy in the Suitcase? I was surprised by the distrust associated with the police and other authorities presented in the book. The Lithuanian mother cited the past Soviet era as part of the problem. As an American, I have very little experience with government oppression of this kind and hope that we never experience that here. If you could hang out with one character from the book, who would it be and why? Nina is the main character as the woman who finds and protects the boy in the suitcase. She is a compelling character and very different from me. For that reason I’d like to spend more time with her. She is a kind of crisis junkie who needs to help the lost and disadvantaged. There are two more books in this series with Nina as the central character. Why did you choose this book? Are you glad you did? I chose this book because of its setting and the intriguing title. Our group likes to read 48 Summer 2018 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com
about different countries, and this one was set in Denmark. The story actually took place in many different parts of Europe. It was really interesting to see the different viewpoints of characters from that part of the world. Also, this was more of a thriller than a police procedural mystery. It was a good change of pace for our group. What is the best book you’ve ever read? There are so many it is like asking who your favorite child is! I love authors like Jan Karon, Liane Moriarty, Rhys Bowen, and of course, Jane Austen, just to name a few. What types of genres or specific titles would you recommend to people who enjoyed The Boy in the Suitcase? If you like thriller type mysteries try Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, or The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware. If you would like to join one of these book clubs, send an email to BookClub@ todayspublications.com for details!

Caregiver CIRCLE By Carrie Vittitoe
Shop Smart Grocery shopping for a loved one should first begin with two questions: What do you like to eat, and what are you able to eat? Amy Sass suggests caregivers shop for their loved ones using store gift cards. After grocery items are purchased, both the store gift card and the receipt should be put in the same envelope. This way, your loved one can review all costs and items bought. If anything needs to be returned, it will be easy to locate the receipt and gift card.
Meal Prep Primer “Engaging your elderly loved one to help you in simple cooking tasks is a wonderful way to stimulate them both physically and cognitively,” says Kayla Cook, owner and director of Caring Excellence Personalized Home Care Services. While someone with dementia should not use knives, mixers, a food processor, the stove top, or oven, Cook says under supervision, the loved one could snap beans, stir brownies, or crack eggs. Physically strong individuals could set the table, sweep the floor, or wash non-breakable dishes. If fatigue or dizziness is a concern, Cook says to ensure the loved one is seated at the kitchen table. 50 Summer 2018 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com
Visual Cues Patients with Alzheimer’s disease often have problems with visual perception, but Amy Sass, a client and employee coordinator with Caring Excellence at Home, has suggestions for minimizing the risk of falls and resulting injuries: • Remove all rugs. • Keep corners and floors as clutter-free as possible. • Remove low-sitting furniture. • Add furniture that is flush to the ground. • Remove breakable items from surface areas. • Add grab bars in the bathroom and by the bed.
Get a Grip If a loved one has difficulty getting a solid grip due to arthritis, changing some simple items around the house may help. Lucy Martin, a former caregiver, suggests level door handles on frequently used doors. She had good luck finding products at Elderstore, an online company that sells items such as easy grip food handles, textured grab bars, and silicone jar openers.

DEAR ME: Advice you’d give your younger self
Dear Young Al,

P
robably the most important thing that I would suggest is to build trust. I read somewhere that trust is the cornerstone of a good friendship. Often it comes from unexpected people who are willing and able to be your friends when given a chance to be trusted with even the smallest thing. It can be anything ranging from an idea or even a laugh. Once you have done it, you will get it back in return, and a trusting friendship will begin. Different houses, new automobiles, kids’ stuff, and of course those “just can’t live without it” things will clutter up the garage and put a drain on the budget. (I would urge you to try to resist impulse buys and put more into savings when possible.) As far as being recognized and remembered for what you have accomplished in life, I might say that it sometimes happens when you least expect it. How do you measure it? Well, I think that it is what we leave behind and not in the here and now that is important. Let people and the future recognize and remember you for what you have contributed to this old world of ours. For example, The Great Pyramids of Giza are easily recognized
Al Young is the senior brand ambassador for Four Roses Bourbon. With over 50 years of industry experience, he is a member of both the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame and the Whiskey Magazine Hall of Fame.
and remembered for being Egyptian, but nobody can recall the name of the architect who designed them. Now, all of us like to have options available to us in just about everything we do. Some are good — some not so much. Today, it often becomes hard to gather all the facts and information to make an informed decision about which way to go. So, I would caution you to consider if your decisions meet your personal standards for morality, legality, and in some cases, spirituality. Taking time out to run this simple test may help you choose what’s right for the long term.
The urge to “lead the charge” comes to all of us at some time or another. When that happens, we tend to push our own agendas strongly so we can to influence others. I would tell you that you don’t have to lead the charge all the time. There is a place and time for it, and knowing when to use it is an art. Just listen more to others and let them have a chance to lead from time to time. You’ll gain their respect and reap benefits that have lasting value.
Sincerely, Al Young

Wise & Well Tidbits, news, and tips to help you live your healthiest years yet
By Mark Kaelin
Total Care for the Body “Heuser Health is different because of our approach,” says Peggy Heuser, nurse practitioner and chief medical officer at the physician-managed exercise and nutrition program. “New members are interviewed by our medical staff before they step into one of our classes. That way we know it’s safe for them to exercise.” By combining medical doctors, nurse practitioners, and exercise physiologists all in one place, members have all the resources they need to be successful. “Our program is based in science and led by experts,” Peggy says. Because of this, she says, average adult fitness members see their blood pressure drop by 18 points and lose four inches off their waist. For more information call 502.893.7833 or stop in for a tour.
Real Food = Good Health The food you eat should be centered around “foods that grow from the ground with minimal processing,” says Chief Medical Officer Peggy Heuser of Heuser Health. “A healthy meal consists of natural foods, not ones that contain high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils,” Heuser says. So when you’re shopping, think baked potatoes not french fries, and fill your cart with fruits and vegetables instead of overly processed items like chips and sugary cereals.
STEADI As She Goes! Comfort When You're Sick Finding the resources you need to manage chronic illnesses can be overwhelming. “The Flourish Program uses a team of social workers, doctors, therapists, pharmacists, and even attorneys to address all aspects of a client’s health and coordinate care to maximize quality of life and function,” says Samantha Cotton, program manager at the University of Louisville’s Institute for Optimal Aging.

“While balance issues are common in older adults, it shouldn’t be the norm,” says Bellarmine University Physical Therapy Professor Beth Ennis. Side effects from medication, changes in vision, and decreases in muscle strength are all common causes of falls. Protect yourself! Talk to your physician if you’re losing your balance, maintain a routine exercise program, and check out the Centers for Disease Control’s STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries) initiative at cdc.gov/steadi/ patient.html for strategies to decrease your fall risk.
A FOOD TIP FOR PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON'S
Living with Parkinson’s disease presents certain challenges to patients and caregivers. Increased caloric expenditure due to tremors, changes to one’s sense of smell, and medication side effects such as nausea make it difficult for a person with the disease to maintain a healthy weight. “Weight loss in individuals with Parkinson’s is fairly common and can have devastating effects, as it impacts mobility, quality of life, and level of function,” says Denise Burd, nursing faculty member at Bellarmine University. To overcome this challenge, Burd suggests to “always have [the patient’s] favorite foods available and increase your use of seasonings on individual dishes to increase flavor.”

Vicki also directs the offices of Health Disparities, Inclusion, and Community Engagement, and is a leading researcher concerning health disparities and the mental health of African Americans and other minority groups. Vicki has dedicated her life to teaching others to care for those who feel they may not have a voice in their quality and care. Through her published works and the collection of poetry inspired by her and written by her late husband, she has recorded her legacy for the next generation. After such a full and rewarding life, here is what she knows now. What advice do you have for young women of today?
You are a lot stronger than you think and have a lot of gifts. Don’t take the word of others about who or what you are. Stand up for what you think is right (but make sure you know the facts first).

What do you do now that you never imagined doing in your youth?
I have had a career that has impacted others. I have written some useful stuff and showed others they can too. I have been to many places to speak with others, received many awards, and through those things, made friends and colleagues in unusual places. I had a wonderful marriage for 39 years until my husband’s death and have a loving child. If you could have a conversation with your younger self, what would the now-wise-Vicki like to tell the younger you?
I would say things are not going to turn out like you planned, but that’s OK. They turn out better — enjoy the journey (most of it anyway). How did you cope with the loss of your husband?
My greatest loss was the death of my husband last September. He was my best friend, someone who always had my back, and I loved him dearly. He was so funny and clever, and a wonderful poet. So, I have many treasures left behind which I can go back to, look at, and remember. That helps...
Vicki Hines-Martin is working to eliminate health disparities in the community.
When did you discover your calling for higher education?
What is your prized possession or best money ever spent?
I don’t think there was a true “calling”; I just knew I wanted to help people see that there is variation in people’s needs, wants, and talents. As a teacher of nurses who aspire to be clinicians, scientists, scholars, teachers, advocates, and policy makers, that diversity (or variation) is a benefit for our patients and to our profession. What we are comfortable and familiar with may be a barrier rather than an asset in nursing and improving the health of our communities.
My prized possession is my daughter Michelle — if you can count that. The best money I ever spent was on a trip to Barcelona, Spain. It was part business and a little pleasure. It was a beautiful place and the last place my husband and I visited. If you could do your life over, what do you wish you would have done differently?
I don’t know… everything I did got me to this place. More important to me is now that I am here, what choices will I make at this stage of my life?

Water Therapy for Your Heart
T
he heart, like any other muscle, needs exercise to improve strength and functionality. It takes heartthumping cardio to achieve this goal; however, running or cycling aren’t the only choices you have to promote good heart health. With 75 aquatic classes plus additional low-intensity programs, Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center has all the features needed to start an exercise routine that fits your pace and cools you down this summer. Milestone offers guidance from certified fitness instructors and programs to keep your heart in shape. “If a person has a serious heart issue, we do not work with them until they complete
a cardiac rehabilitation program,” says Mary Duke Connell, aquatic director at Milestone. “After patients are released from cardiac rehab, they are recommended to start with a 30-minute program three times a week and build up to five times a week.” Some of the most popular classes at Milestone are poolates, hydro-pilates, and aqua barre. Each of these emphasizes the body’s core while stabilizing the trunk of the body and enhancing muscle strength in a calm environment. “Water Wellness and Low-Intensity classes offer stretching and light cardio,” Mary says. “This helps the participant to establish an exercise routine that can be expanded to a more vigorous
routine depending on the person and the doctor’s recommendation.” Other classes to consider are the water walking/running classes, H20 Cycling, and Yoqua, which offers yoga movements in the pool accompanied by soft music and meditation. Members will also find specialty classes geared toward participants 50 and over. These classes help with mobility and ease arthritis pain.

LESS INVASIVE SURGERIES SOUND GOOD:
HERE’S HOW TO CHOOSE By Carrie Vittitoe
I
f a disease has progressed too far or pain has become intolerable, surgery might become a necessity, but that then means dealing with recovery. Over the past decade, there has been an uptick in the use of minimally invasive surgery, which often allows patients to return to regular activities sooner than traditional surgery.
But how do you know if minimally invasive surgery is right for you?

WHAT DOES “MINIMALLY INVASIVE” ACTUALLY MEAN? The term minimally invasive generally means laparoscopic, which is when small incisions are made and trocars (small hollow tubes) are inserted into the incision. Surgeons then thread their surgical tools and a camera into the trocars to remove disease or make repairs without opening up the entire surgical area. The benefit of this type of surgery is that “rather than disrupting organs or the body cavity, it reduces the collateral involvement of tissue,” says Dr. Janet Chipman, a general surgeon with Baptist Health Surgical Group. This surgical approach often means less pain and a lowered risk of infection. Laparoscopy can be utilized in a variety of medical specialities. Gynecologists, for example, were at the forefront of using the technique. All kinds of abdominal surgeries, including appendix, gallbladder, colon, and small bowel, can often be done laparoscopically. Dr. Chipman says there are some targeted minimally invasive surgeries for the breast, parathyroid, and lung. While many hospitals have the standard equipment to perform common laparoscopic surgeries like cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) and appendectomy (appendix removal), Dr. Chipman says some minimally invasive surgeries, such as on the spleen and pancreas, require specialized instrumentation and surgeon experience that aren’t necessarily found at every hospital. Some patients mistakenly think minimally invasive surgery involves the use of lasers, but it does not. Trocars, graspers, needle drivers, and surgical mesh are common tools of the trade.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY One of the most important determinants of whether a patient should have minimally invasive surgery as opposed to open surgery might surprise you because it doesn’t have anything to do with the patient. “Surgeons need to have high expertise in laparoscopy,” Dr. Chipman says. While a busy surgeon might be aggravating to a patient who is trying to get an appointment, it also likely means
64 Summer 2018 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com
that the surgeon is well-practiced in laparoscopic techniques because she is performing it regularly. Dr. Chipman adds that disease progression is also a determinant in whether a patient is a good candidate for minimally invasive surgery. For example, a cancer that is very large and bulky will require a bigger incision than what is used in laparoscopy.
PREPARING FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY If a person is having surgery that requires the cleaning out of the bowels, Dr. Chipman says the purgative preparation is the same regardless of what type of surgery is being done. Physicians who do both traditional and laparoscopic surgery often try to utilize the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. These protocols are intended to minimize the length of recovery regardless of surgery type. One aspect of ERAS is providing various types of pain control, including anti-inflammatories and acetaminophen, to reduce the use of narcotics. Another aspect of the protocol is the use of the medication Entereg to reduce the likelihood of postoperative ileus (nausea, vomiting, bloating, and decreased GI motility).
THE DOWNSIDES OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY For cholecystectomy and appendectomy, laparoscopic surgery is likely to be shorter in duration, but Dr. Chipman says in many cases laparoscopy “takes more of the surgeon’s time and expertise” and may mean more time in the operating room and under anesthesia, which comes with its own risks. A surgeon without enough experience in minimally invasive surgery could potentially exceed the normal length of a procedure. Dr. Chipman says that while the length of a hospital stay with minimally invasive surgery is usually less, there isn’t a tremendous difference in the cost of minimally invasive surgery versus open surgery. As a society dealing with ever-increasing health costs, it might be worthwhile to ask whether there are economic advantages and disadvantages to a minimally invasive surgery.
THE MOST IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION “What patients really want is a safe surgery,” Dr. Chipman says, and the safest surgery for a patient might be open surgery rather than minimally invasive. In some cases, the concept of “minimally invasive” has been oversold, and patients have gotten too focused on the surgical approach. Some of this focus is understandable, especially since minimally invasive surgery has been touted as reducing recovery time. While this is technically true, Dr. Chipman says it reduces recovery by half or less, so a three-week recovery period might be reduced to two weeks. Dr. Chipman stresses the importance of the long-term effect of the surgery: “Am I going to get the long-term outcome I want?” In some cases, while minimally invasive surgery might provide the shorter recovery, it won’t necessarily result in the best outcome a year after surgery. The key to having a successful surgery is trusting your physician to only perform surgery if it is really necessary and to use whatever surgical format is in your best interest.

What patients really want is a safe surgery.” — DR. JANET CHIPMAN, A GENERAL SURGEON WITH BAPTIST HEALTH SURGICAL GROUP

NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS
THAT HELP ARTHRITIS AND TENDONITIS By Carrie Vittitoe
M
any patients with arthritis and tendonitis will try a variety of treatments in order to avoid surgery. Dr. Robin Curry, who specializes in sports medicine and non-operative orthopedics with Norton Orthopedic Specialists, says oral antiinflammatories, physical therapy, and braces make up the first line of treatment. She says evidence also supports the use of corticosteroid injections. For some patients, however, these first line treatments don’t offer the pain relief they need. Researchers and physicians have had to find additional treatment options.
Hyaluronic Acid —
Synovial fluid, which lubricates and cushions joints to help them move smoothly, contains hyaluronic acid. Some patients see benefits from viscose supplementation injection with hyaluronic acid, although Dr. Curry notes that these benefits are more anecdotal than evidence-based. It is for this reason that some insurance companies are no longer covering these types of treatments. Hyaluronic acid injections can be done every six months, but it takes patients about six weeks to see results. In comparison, Dr. Curry says corticosteroid injections can be done every three months and generally begin to provide relief in less than a week.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) — Platelets are components of the blood that, among other things, help wounds heal. This healing ability is one of the reasons some physicians are using platelet-rich plasma injections to help patients who suffer from tendonitis. Dr. Stacie Grossfeld of Orthopaedic Specialists explains that PRP injections begin with a blood draw from a patient, the separation of the platelets from the other blood cells using a centrifuge, and then the plasma injection into the injured area. Although it sounds complicated, the entire process usually doesn’t take more than 30 minutes.
Stem Cell Recruitment Therapy — The traditional
(and painful) way of harvesting stem cells from a patient’s pelvis kept many physicians and patients from pursuing stem cells as a possible healing or pain management option.
66 Summer 2018 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com
However, Dr. Grossfeld says advances in the collection of amniotic stem cells, which are then cleansed and screened like any other medical tissue, mean patients can consider this option for their arthritis or tendonitis. She began offering stem cell recruitment therapy for her patients earlier this year. Patients should be aware that even among physicians there is debate over the effectiveness of these various injection
treatments, and not every physician offers every injection treatment. If insurance doesn’t cover PRP injection, the charge per treatment can be over $300, while the charge for stem cell recruitment therapy can range between $1,500$3,000 per treatment. “It’s exciting to have more options to treat patients,” Dr. Grossfeld says. Her decision to offer patients PRP and stem cell recruitment therapy was largely motivated by the needs of her patients. She says it’s nice to have a plan E and F if plans A-D don’t work for certain patients. When seeking out professional advice, it is essential for patients to understand, too, that there are variables that will impact how well any particular therapy will work and for how long. Body weight, the use of the joint, and how advanced the disease is can impact treatment.

TOP 10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE SELECTING A REHAB FACILITY By Mark Kaelin
1
Tour multiple facilities. “Depending on the timing of your procedure, there might not be a bed available at your first choice so it’s important to have one or even two alternatives,” says Michelle Kelly, clinical liaison for Green Valley Care Center in New Albany, Indiana.
2
Check a facility’s quality rating at medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare/ search.html. Here you can see how Medicare grades this facility on patient outcomes, staffing ratios, and health inspections. “The more information you have, the better you’ll feel about where you go,” Kelly says.
3
Learn all you can about billing and costs. “Medicare typically only covers 21
4
Be ready to work — hard. “The goal of rehab is to maximize your level of function after a procedure,” Williams says. While you’ll have ample time to recuperate, a rehab facility’s primary goal is to get you up and moving.
5
Find out about visitation times and if a family member can stay with you.
6
What to bring. Remember you are packing for rehab, not a vacation.
7
What’s the facility’s transportation policy? After a procedure, you’ll
8
Find out what a typical day is like. People are surprised at the amount of therapy they receive with inpatient rehabilitation. Review a typical patient schedule and observe a therapy session if you can so you know what your experience will be like.

days of inpatient rehabilitation. After that, many patients have to pay out of pocket,” says Shawn Williams, physical therapist and Orthopedic Program manager at Almost Family. “Make sure all your financial questions are answered,” Kelly added. Rehab is hard enough without being concerned about your finances.
“At Green Valley, all our rehab spots are in private suites so there’s ample room for a family member to stay,” Kelly says. “However, that’s not the case everywhere.”
“I typically suggest a patient bring five days’ worth of clothes,” Kelly says. Bring a swimsuit if the facility offers aquatic therapy.
have follow-up appointments with your surgeon. Ask the admission representative if the facility schedules these for you and if they arrange transportation as well.
with your physician, take notes, and ask about the expected recovery time, but also ask about the best and worst case scenarios.
Find out if the facility you’re interested in offers prehabilitation. “A short course of physical therapy before your procedure to maximize your strength, range of motion, and endurance can have a huge impact on how long it takes you to recover,” Williams says.

Home Health Care refers to care provided in a person’s home. Medical Home Health Care is a licensed level of care that provides nursing care and personal care. (These agencies also provide non-medical care.) Non-medical Home Health Care agencies in Kentucky must be certified. Agencies in Indiana must be licensed. They can assist with the self-administration of medications or treatments, provide limited personal care, serve as companions who prepare light meals and tidy homes, and may offer transportation or errand services.
