Walking Up On A Dementia Crisis In The Community

Walking up on to a dementia crisis in the community can be a bit scary for all involved.  Typically the individual experiencing the undesired symptoms of dementia is extremely agitated.  Consider these techniques:

- Approach from the front in slow purposeful motion

- Introduce yourself

- Keep your communication simple with one line at a time

- Do not ask questions - likely the individual will struggle more to answer

- Talk in a lower voice

- Place extra time after each verbalization

- Ask the individual to follow you a couple of steps

- Count your steps - the individual will often count with you

- Your moving to a quieter location - less distraction

- Establish a one to one conversation

- Avoid gestures or fast sudden movements

- Ask about a drivers license - offering to call family

- Your interactions should communicate there is no hurry

- You are helping the individual to a safe familiar place

Dementia crisis are not all alike - and the person experiencing the undesired symptoms of dementia will manifest very individual experiences.  These unplanned events can be an indication the individual could benefit from the help of another.

Home Care Path coordinates senior support partners who can come to the elders home and help.  The senior support partner performs pre-scheduled tasks designed to maintain the health and wellness of the elder.  The Medical Clinic will describe the situation as the elder is experiencing  a cognitive deficit requiring the help of another to remain safe.  The conditions that create these dementia crisis are usually chronic- and progressive - so the need for the help of another continues.

Home Care Path staff can assist the family with contacting the Aging and Disability Resource Center to meet with a Benefit Specialist who can discuss the available resources which will prove helpful.

Aging Effects Health Care System Performance See The Changes

The aging of our population has prodded health system payers to minimize loss through resource allocation initiatives.  Larger merging of medical care centers will limit or eliminate traditional community style delivery.

Health system payers (insurance plans) are working with legislators to re-define the regulatory structure of skilled medical care delivery in the community setting. The buzz words include - transparency, informal supports, and consumer driven.

This new approach places the individual's activity of daily living needs upon family or volunteers.  More than a trend this moves the cost of at home support from the health (Payer) plan over to the house (family) hold.

Consumer driven means the family determines the ongoing need for help at home and works with emerging resources to keep the elder safe.  Home Care Path is ahead of this change by facilitating the services families will purchase to keep their loved ones safely at home.

This will feel different for families who have been accustomed to the clinic doctor telling them what they need to keep the home going.  Today the medical doctor and the social work staff can explain the limit of community help you can expect from your health insurance plan.  It will then be up to the family to seek the in home supports needed to maintain health and wellness in the house hold.

It's Horse Show Weekend In Madison Wisconsin Giddy Up

Madison Wisconsin will host a huge horse show this weekend.  The 38th annual Midwest Horse Fair will be going all weekend at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison Wisconsin.

Our senior gardeners have questioned who gets the abundance of horse manure a traditionally effective fertilizer.  Composting horse manure is described as a way to super charge your compost pile.

This Midwest Horse Fair is a favorite of area families.  More and more health and wellness providers have recognized the connection between horses and therapeutic healing.

Home Care Path reminds horse show visitors to schedule extra travel time in the expectation of congested traffic lanes.  Give yourself some extra time and enjoy the travel.

Wisconsin Detach Drug Addiction From Medical Delivery System

Individuals testing positive for defined drugs will be required to comply with treatment or receive a time period of no medical coverage.  Wisconsin legislators plan to submit this in the form of a waiver to the Federal - Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

This facilitates the implementation of a structure of multiple factors to limit access to the medical delivery system. A huge role in public funded health programming is to move addiction in to the medical delivery system .  This effort will compete with community coordination designed to get individuals with identified needs to the proper provider.

Non-compliance is a well documented symptom of drug addiction in public funded programming aggregates.  The other certain is properly testing an individual for drugs costs money.   Any clinic lab or hospital could perform the testing if the individual has a valid pay source. 

No lab will perform the drug testing without payment - and Medicaid does not appear to be available prior to the drug screening for the individual.  Once a failed drug test occurs - the frequency of the testing is expected to have enforced limits.  There does not exist a pay source that will reimburse a lab for a series of drug tests until a clean screen is achieved.

If the structure pushes the cost on to the participating (drug user) individual the opportunity for non-compliance persists. Regions with multiple higher populated Counties will be confronted with under performing public funded health outcome rated programming.

Value based - outcome rated programming determines future funding.  In the past incarcerated drug users were bumped off the public funded programming as the Department of Corrections became the treating administration.  But with the broad implementation of drug style courts to reduce jail- prison over crowding the user remains in the community without access to medical care.

Our medical delivery system has always been a primary source of service for individuals using illegal drugs.  The prevalence of heroin creates costly medical needs in a much more rapid time line. With holding the benefits of Medicaid from non-compliant drug users detaches drug addiction from the medical delivery system.

Increase Baby Boomers Equals Increase Preventing Pressure Skin Injury

With the aging of baby boomers comes an increased need to prevent pressure skin injuries.  Home Care Path is following the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lead in working to prevent the increased risk of pressure skin injuries.

- Decreased mobility

- Nutritional deficit

- Pressure friction shearing upon surface of skin

The primary initiative is to prevent prolonged pressure  upon any skin surface.  Remove the pressure.

is a large digital platform supporting real time activity.  This is an essential means to deliver a greater access to network efficiencies.

Individual care givers participating in the Home Care Path process have capabilities only available to larger agencies in the past.  This is most noted in the care givers autonomy - learning to function in a more independent manner.

Home Care Path Staff Training 2 Enhance Network Efficiencies

Home Care Path coordinates non-medical in home supportive care staff called senior support partners.  The consumer is charged 20.00 per hour for an individual staff to come and help the elder for the family. The senior support partner helps with needs that arise from memory or functional changes.

Staff are trained to perform intake in an effort to improve response time.  When Home Care Path receives a call for a care giver- vacant staff are provided with the phone number to call back.  The senior support partner can make an initial visit for the purpose of providing information to the family in a face to face visit. 

The senior support partner is taught to help the family and elder come up with a schedule where the senior support partner can return to help the senior with the identified needs.  The senior support partner then provides the payroll and claims partner with the billing information.

The senior support partner is trained to anticipate the changing needs of the elder.  The senior support partners have been trained to:

- Bring in and train additional staff for back up

- Adjust the schedule for the benefit of the elder in a timely fashion

- Share proven strategies for meeting the families needs with all staff serving the household

The senior support partner is consistently being trained to help the elder as the needs change or progress over time.  This is an essential piece of improving the staffs ability to function as a community resource with the focus on senior living solutions.
