It’s important to be prepared and research thoroughly all services provided for your loved ones before you accept assistance. But what do you ask?

You need to decide if you need non-medical home care, home health care with some nursing, assisted living, nursing home, or just a part time Adult Day Care. Each service is dependent on the services needed and ability of your loved one to be independent.

If your family member needs help with daily activities or personal care, household chores, meal preparation or bathing, or is just in need of companionship, you likely are seeking in-home care services. Your Comforts of Home offers several levels of care to fit your love one’s needs.

Optional senior services may include respite care, visiting nurses, or telephone check in calls. If your loved one needs constant full time care a nursing home or respite home may be the best answer to know that they receive the care they need when you are unable to care for them

Finances

Medicare, Medicaid and a number of private insurance policies pay for some home health care services, with certain restrictions. Although you should expect to pay some out of pocket. Costs of care will vary with the level of care. Sometimes Long-Term Care Insurance will assist with finances.

Safety

Would making modifications in the home be an alternative to keeping them in their own home? Have a professional come to home to research the feasibility of adapting the bathtub, adding handrails to bathroom and staircases, building a ramp to walkway to assist with mobility, or widening the doorways. Adding a bathroom bench may be an easy safety answer to avoid slipping while bathing. Some suggestions for modifications can be found at www.assistedlivingtoday.com

Social Interaction

Many seniors suffer from loneliness and need companion services. Remaining social will increase their physical and mental well- being. Does the level of care and services offer activities targeted to their skill level? Mental stimulation has been shown to reduce blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis as well as improving sleep quality and avoiding depression. Self-expression through coloring, music, games, or reading will trigger memories while reducing anxiety.

Ultimately, your caregiver should be compassionate, respectful, and offer the senior as much independence as appropriate to keep their self-esteem and dignity. Patience with you and your senior is critical. If they lack patience with you, they will not be patient with your senior.

The 5th Annual Light up the Night with Hope celebration and will take place on December 31, 2017 at La Torretta Lake Resort and Spa beginning at 9:30pm with a casino, dance party with DJ Orbit, and open bar throughout the night.

The Black and White fundraiser is the only tax-deductible New Year’s Eve event in the county. All proceeds from the Benefit of Hope will be split between two non-profit organizations- Orphan Care Solutions and Hope’s Path, both organizations that offer tangible results to move our community CPS youth into nurturing homes that enable success for their future. Midnight fireworks will accompany a performance of Auld Lang Syne by two American Idol finalists, Wendy Taylor and Vincent Powell.

Separate dinner reservations can be made at Lakeside Restaurant ($75 for a five course meal). Tickets guests may also reserve at La Torretta for special event pricing.

“Many of us have sacrificed so much this year to help others affected by Hurricane Harvey. There are 52 Texas counties of families hurting this Christmas. Many families are still displaced and financially struggling this Christmas”, said Terri Jaggers, President of Orphan Care Solutions and Executive Director of Hope’s Path. “This year my time has primarily been focused on getting families what they need to simply stay together. I want this party to be a celebration of the families that have been impacted through local support and collaborative partnerships.”

For the past 5 years the Light Up the Night with Hope event has funded initiatives that include a residential program for young men aging out of foster care, a Hearts of Hope Gallery featuring available children awaiting adoption hosted in churches nationwide, adoption festivals that link prospective families with adoptable children, education summits for community partners to learn about foster care, and assistance for foster families flooded by Harvey.

This year over 200 families were provided food, clothing, baby supplies, and other emergency basic needs after Hurricane Harvey. 48 foster families flooded by Harvey are continuing to rebuild and furnish their homes. 12 families were completely restored through benevolent community partners.
