00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:05,299
Hello again, KCIW

2
00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:08,019
listeners, and welcome to Curry Cafe.

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:10,179
I'm volunteer Rick McNamer.

4
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:13,455
Every Sunday from three to four, your host,

5
00:00:13,455 --> 00:00:15,535
Ray Gary, and I put together a panel

6
00:00:15,535 --> 00:00:18,335
of guests to discuss various topics of interest

7
00:00:18,335 --> 00:00:20,594
that impact our wonderful community.

8
00:00:20,974 --> 00:00:23,695
And we have a topic that is very

9
00:00:23,695 --> 00:00:25,794
impactful in this community today.

10
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,720
Listeners can participate by texting questions or comments

11
00:00:29,859 --> 00:00:30,359
to

12
00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:31,880
(541)

13
00:00:32,179 --> 00:00:35,320
661-4098.

14
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:38,820
Again, that number, text comments or questions is

15
00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:39,880
(541)

16
00:00:40,454 --> 00:00:43,195
661-4098.

17
00:00:43,254 --> 00:00:45,094
Now here's Ray to tell us about today's

18
00:00:45,094 --> 00:00:47,335
show. Yeah. We have an interesting show today,

19
00:00:47,335 --> 00:00:50,534
interesting guest, and a topic that's probably spoken

20
00:00:50,534 --> 00:00:53,515
about in this community an awful lot.

21
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:55,960
Due to all the advances in modern science

22
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,979
or whatever, people are living longer.

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,500
I was diagnosed

24
00:00:59,879 --> 00:01:02,759
about fifteen years ago with a heart problem

25
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:04,619
that would have killed me within a year,

26
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,840
except I had this new med, and here

27
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,494
I am still, like it or not. Oh,

28
00:01:09,494 --> 00:01:10,954
we like it, Ray. Okay.

29
00:01:11,494 --> 00:01:13,094
So I'm gonna introduce I'm not I'm not

30
00:01:13,094 --> 00:01:15,814
gonna I'm gonna let our guest introduce herself

31
00:01:15,814 --> 00:01:17,494
and tell you exactly what it is she's

32
00:01:17,894 --> 00:01:19,594
did I say what we're gonna talk about?

33
00:01:19,655 --> 00:01:21,734
No. No. Anyway, we're gonna talk about assistive

34
00:01:21,734 --> 00:01:23,859
work. I'm sure our guests both will. For

35
00:01:23,859 --> 00:01:25,299
for those for those of us who are

36
00:01:25,299 --> 00:01:27,459
having memory problems and can't keep a thought

37
00:01:27,459 --> 00:01:27,959
straight,

38
00:01:28,659 --> 00:01:30,979
this this might be us. I don't know.

39
00:01:30,979 --> 00:01:33,379
So Okay. Here's our guest. She'll tell you

40
00:01:33,379 --> 00:01:35,619
who she is and introduce the person she

41
00:01:35,619 --> 00:01:36,759
brought along electronically.

42
00:01:37,685 --> 00:01:39,604
Well, thank you so much for having me,

43
00:01:39,604 --> 00:01:42,484
you guys. I am Sarah Dodson. I am

44
00:01:42,484 --> 00:01:46,484
the regional community relations director for Azalea Gardens

45
00:01:46,484 --> 00:01:49,224
Senior Living, Monarch Gardens Memory Care,

46
00:01:49,819 --> 00:01:52,140
and Shore Pines Senior Living up in Gold

47
00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:55,340
Beach. And I also have Tony Whitcomb, the

48
00:01:55,340 --> 00:01:57,920
administrator for Monarch Gardens Memory Care,

49
00:01:58,780 --> 00:02:00,400
joining us today as well.

50
00:02:01,099 --> 00:02:02,159
Hello, Tony.

51
00:02:03,594 --> 00:02:04,415
Hello, everybody.

52
00:02:04,954 --> 00:02:05,694
Good afternoon.

53
00:02:07,354 --> 00:02:09,114
We're glad both of y'all were here to

54
00:02:09,114 --> 00:02:10,794
tell us about like I said, we talked

55
00:02:10,955 --> 00:02:12,634
we've been talking a lot about it before

56
00:02:12,634 --> 00:02:15,694
the show. Yes. But it's very, very important

57
00:02:15,834 --> 00:02:17,995
to deal with the we live in a

58
00:02:17,995 --> 00:02:19,055
senior community,

59
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:20,520
and,

60
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:21,980
it's,

61
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,760
a lot of people need these services. It's,

62
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:27,740
it's definitely a very important topic, especially,

63
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,420
like I was saying,

64
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:32,060
before the show, we are the second

65
00:02:32,685 --> 00:02:36,064
highest senior citizen populated county in Oregon. So,

66
00:02:36,925 --> 00:02:37,825
senior living

67
00:02:38,444 --> 00:02:40,925
and senior services and everything that comes along

68
00:02:40,925 --> 00:02:43,085
with it is definitely a high priority in

69
00:02:43,085 --> 00:02:45,085
the area. Yeah. And we're happy to provide

70
00:02:45,085 --> 00:02:45,659
those services.

71
00:02:46,139 --> 00:02:48,960
Well. Okay. So every time the subject of,

72
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:51,659
assisted living comes up, I know a couple

73
00:02:51,659 --> 00:02:52,560
of people that

74
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:53,760
could use that,

75
00:02:54,139 --> 00:02:56,300
they throw their hands up and say, oh,

76
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:58,835
that's what that's way too expensive. I there's

77
00:02:58,835 --> 00:03:00,375
no way we can afford that.

78
00:03:00,754 --> 00:03:02,354
So is there a way people I mean,

79
00:03:02,354 --> 00:03:03,314
I'm sure most of us

80
00:03:04,115 --> 00:03:06,034
I I happen to have insurance for that,

81
00:03:06,034 --> 00:03:08,775
but I'm I doubt very many people do.

82
00:03:09,955 --> 00:03:11,634
What do you do? I mean, even if

83
00:03:11,634 --> 00:03:14,189
you're alone or whatever, what is what is

84
00:03:14,189 --> 00:03:15,710
the cost? What can you what can you

85
00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:18,510
get by with? So there are a few

86
00:03:18,510 --> 00:03:20,590
different ways to pay for it. There if

87
00:03:20,590 --> 00:03:23,330
you're a veteran, they have you can contact

88
00:03:23,389 --> 00:03:25,330
the VA, and they have,

89
00:03:26,615 --> 00:03:28,615
benefits and stuff that they can assist in

90
00:03:28,615 --> 00:03:31,014
paying for it. There's also long term care

91
00:03:31,014 --> 00:03:31,514
insurance,

92
00:03:32,135 --> 00:03:34,455
and we work closely with the Department of

93
00:03:34,455 --> 00:03:35,354
Human Services.

94
00:03:35,974 --> 00:03:38,395
So if there is any issues with financials,

95
00:03:38,694 --> 00:03:40,955
then those definitely would be three

96
00:03:41,409 --> 00:03:43,110
very good places to start.

97
00:03:43,490 --> 00:03:45,650
Now this long term care insurance, this is

98
00:03:45,650 --> 00:03:47,810
something you have to have before your in

99
00:03:47,810 --> 00:03:50,289
long term situation, I guess. Yeah. You kind

100
00:03:50,289 --> 00:03:51,830
of gotta be a little proactive.

101
00:03:52,129 --> 00:03:52,629
Yeah.

102
00:03:54,875 --> 00:03:55,775
And I

103
00:03:56,155 --> 00:03:57,995
I hate to admit this, but I'll admit

104
00:03:57,995 --> 00:04:00,155
it. I had it at one time. My

105
00:04:00,155 --> 00:04:02,155
wife and I had that way back when,

106
00:04:02,155 --> 00:04:02,655
but

107
00:04:03,194 --> 00:04:05,594
whatever happened in our life, it became on

108
00:04:05,594 --> 00:04:07,215
a not quite unaffordable,

109
00:04:07,594 --> 00:04:08,895
but we ended up drop.

110
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,819
That's shiny. I bet you that's a common

111
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,060
problem. It definitely is.

112
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:16,920
Yeah. It definitely is. And we are very

113
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,699
fortunate in Oregon where

114
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:21,339
we have we're able to,

115
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,205
have the state. We have Medicaid that we

116
00:04:25,205 --> 00:04:27,605
are able to accept within our communities if

117
00:04:27,605 --> 00:04:29,605
for some reason if you qualify, of course,

118
00:04:29,605 --> 00:04:32,004
through the Department of Human Services to assist

119
00:04:32,004 --> 00:04:34,165
with that. Yeah. Okay. So I'll give you

120
00:04:34,165 --> 00:04:36,345
an example. We have a a woman who's,

121
00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:39,230
it doesn't matter how old she is, but

122
00:04:39,230 --> 00:04:41,470
she obviously needs some help. Mhmm. She can't

123
00:04:41,470 --> 00:04:43,410
cook for herself and that type of thing.

124
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:44,990
And she doesn't have any of those things.

125
00:04:44,990 --> 00:04:47,410
She doesn't have, like, a retirement or,

126
00:04:48,589 --> 00:04:50,210
obviously, she has social security,

127
00:04:51,464 --> 00:04:52,925
but none of those other,

128
00:04:53,944 --> 00:04:55,545
things that shouldn't have a lot of money

129
00:04:55,545 --> 00:04:56,524
on top of it.

130
00:04:57,145 --> 00:04:57,645
So

131
00:04:58,504 --> 00:05:00,285
what can happen to this woman?

132
00:05:00,745 --> 00:05:01,805
So my

133
00:05:02,345 --> 00:05:02,845
suggestion

134
00:05:03,145 --> 00:05:05,550
and my I would encourage her to contact

135
00:05:05,550 --> 00:05:07,870
the Department of Human Services and see if

136
00:05:07,870 --> 00:05:09,730
there's anything that they can do

137
00:05:10,189 --> 00:05:11,889
on their end to help,

138
00:05:12,509 --> 00:05:14,830
get her established and and see what the

139
00:05:14,830 --> 00:05:15,330
eligibility

140
00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:17,250
requirements are for Medicaid.

141
00:05:18,595 --> 00:05:21,074
If for some reason there's any type of

142
00:05:21,074 --> 00:05:21,574
financial

143
00:05:22,754 --> 00:05:26,435
concern for assisted living, they are typically, if

144
00:05:26,435 --> 00:05:28,375
they're not a veteran, they're who I would

145
00:05:28,435 --> 00:05:31,350
encourage them to call is our local DHS

146
00:05:31,410 --> 00:05:33,509
office. I'm not familiar with Medicaid.

147
00:05:34,610 --> 00:05:36,629
What what does that cover?

148
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:40,290
So Medicaid is a state insurance. I it's

149
00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:42,705
not necessarily my forte, so I can't go

150
00:05:42,705 --> 00:05:44,785
into too much of it. You know more

151
00:05:44,785 --> 00:05:46,485
than I do, though. But

152
00:05:46,944 --> 00:05:49,105
And and probably fool most of the people

153
00:05:49,105 --> 00:05:50,645
listening. So just go ahead.

154
00:05:52,145 --> 00:05:53,824
Tony, do you wanna jump in and talk

155
00:05:53,824 --> 00:05:54,564
about Medicaid?

156
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,599
I know that what I can say about

157
00:05:58,599 --> 00:05:59,819
Medicaid is that

158
00:06:00,599 --> 00:06:03,180
it's a great benefit that we offer from

159
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,879
our communities is that we take both private

160
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:06,379
pay,

161
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,740
long term care,

162
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:08,939
Medicaid,

163
00:06:09,555 --> 00:06:12,435
and and veterans services benefits. A lot of

164
00:06:12,435 --> 00:06:12,935
communities

165
00:06:13,394 --> 00:06:16,055
just take private pay. We just want everyone

166
00:06:16,115 --> 00:06:16,915
in the Kearny,

167
00:06:17,235 --> 00:06:19,975
Curry County area to know that, you know,

168
00:06:20,035 --> 00:06:22,355
no no matter what the individual's insurance type

169
00:06:22,355 --> 00:06:24,115
is, I know that that we most likely

170
00:06:24,115 --> 00:06:26,029
will take, you know, if it's long term

171
00:06:26,029 --> 00:06:26,529
care

172
00:06:26,910 --> 00:06:30,189
or Medicaid or veteran services or a private

173
00:06:30,189 --> 00:06:32,430
pay. There's a lot of different options to

174
00:06:32,430 --> 00:06:33,709
pay for it. And,

175
00:06:34,430 --> 00:06:34,990
we also

176
00:06:35,550 --> 00:06:37,504
some places only take private pay, pay, so

177
00:06:37,504 --> 00:06:39,264
we just want everyone to know that we

178
00:06:39,264 --> 00:06:41,985
really do take multiple insurance types, and we

179
00:06:41,985 --> 00:06:43,904
wanna be be able to provide a home

180
00:06:43,904 --> 00:06:46,625
for for everybody who needs the services in

181
00:06:46,625 --> 00:06:47,204
the area.

182
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:50,064
That that's good because I think the number

183
00:06:50,064 --> 00:06:51,764
one issue you hear when you mentioned,

184
00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:55,419
need to go someplace or something like that

185
00:06:55,419 --> 00:06:57,519
is over the course of fortune.

186
00:06:58,220 --> 00:07:00,300
Yeah. Well and also, you have to think

187
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:00,800
about

188
00:07:01,579 --> 00:07:03,199
moving into a

189
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:06,379
senior living community, whether it be assisted living

190
00:07:06,379 --> 00:07:07,680
or memory care.

191
00:07:08,115 --> 00:07:10,194
Once you move in, I mean, everything is

192
00:07:10,194 --> 00:07:13,175
covered. The food is covered. We offer dining

193
00:07:13,235 --> 00:07:16,694
services. So breakfast, lunch, dinner, everything in between,

194
00:07:18,035 --> 00:07:20,129
is all covered. So the food cost would

195
00:07:20,129 --> 00:07:22,449
not be there. Utilities would not be an

196
00:07:22,449 --> 00:07:25,110
issue because that would be covered by us.

197
00:07:26,290 --> 00:07:28,150
Wi Fi, we love Beacon,

198
00:07:29,170 --> 00:07:30,930
of course. But that we had it where

199
00:07:30,930 --> 00:07:33,189
I'm at. But yeah. Go ahead. They,

200
00:07:34,165 --> 00:07:37,064
that's all covered within it along with housekeeping

201
00:07:37,365 --> 00:07:37,865
services,

202
00:07:39,365 --> 00:07:40,425
laundry services.

203
00:07:40,805 --> 00:07:42,964
We'll go in and wash your linens, and

204
00:07:42,964 --> 00:07:45,064
then all of the cares that we accommodate.

205
00:07:45,685 --> 00:07:48,379
So anywhere up to just needing a little

206
00:07:48,379 --> 00:07:50,159
bit of assistance with the

207
00:07:50,539 --> 00:07:53,279
day to day activities of daily living from

208
00:07:53,899 --> 00:07:54,879
cooking, cleaning,

209
00:07:55,180 --> 00:07:56,939
we can accommodate that all the way up

210
00:07:56,939 --> 00:07:59,659
to end of life or any cognitive issues

211
00:07:59,659 --> 00:08:00,159
that,

212
00:08:01,035 --> 00:08:03,514
seem to be coming along with Alzheimer's or

213
00:08:03,514 --> 00:08:05,935
dementia. That's also something that we,

214
00:08:07,754 --> 00:08:08,254
really

215
00:08:08,714 --> 00:08:12,154
take pride in enriching their quality of life

216
00:08:12,154 --> 00:08:15,069
because we're able to provide those services. Everything

217
00:08:15,069 --> 00:08:17,329
you just mentioned is something I can use.

218
00:08:17,550 --> 00:08:18,769
I got you, Ray. Yeah.

219
00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:22,769
Come see me. Yeah. Ray's on the list.

220
00:08:23,069 --> 00:08:24,990
Yeah. Jody, I wanna jump back. You said

221
00:08:24,990 --> 00:08:28,269
something about some places being private pay only.

222
00:08:28,269 --> 00:08:29,089
Is that correct?

223
00:08:30,404 --> 00:08:32,004
Yeah. I know. A a lot of different

224
00:08:32,004 --> 00:08:32,504
communities,

225
00:08:33,125 --> 00:08:36,325
they they really differentiate between pair types. Some

226
00:08:36,325 --> 00:08:39,445
will only offer rooms to individuals who can

227
00:08:39,445 --> 00:08:41,924
pay privately or apartments. Mhmm. I know. That's

228
00:08:41,924 --> 00:08:43,785
one of the great things about our communities

229
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:46,259
is is that whether someone, you know, was

230
00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:46,919
a millionaire

231
00:08:47,299 --> 00:08:49,399
or they were on state Medicaid services,

232
00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:51,299
as long as we can meet their care

233
00:08:51,299 --> 00:08:53,779
needs in our community, then they're always welcome

234
00:08:53,779 --> 00:08:55,059
to have a home here. Well, I tell

235
00:08:55,059 --> 00:08:56,659
you what, Ben. That's a big that's a

236
00:08:56,659 --> 00:08:58,679
powerful thing to offer people.

237
00:08:59,065 --> 00:09:00,365
And I had no idea.

238
00:09:01,384 --> 00:09:03,785
I did my dad passed away. Let's see.

239
00:09:03,785 --> 00:09:05,384
He my dad lived lived up in The

240
00:09:05,384 --> 00:09:07,144
Dalles, Oregon, and I was trying to get

241
00:09:07,144 --> 00:09:08,445
him down here. And I,

242
00:09:09,865 --> 00:09:11,785
at the time, I do remember and I'm

243
00:09:11,785 --> 00:09:14,024
sorry. I forgot if it was Monarch Gardens

244
00:09:14,024 --> 00:09:14,490
or but

245
00:09:15,370 --> 00:09:17,549
I wanted him closer if I could. Mhmm.

246
00:09:17,610 --> 00:09:20,169
But I was talking to those people, and

247
00:09:20,169 --> 00:09:22,169
they were telling me, yeah, because I was

248
00:09:22,169 --> 00:09:22,990
worried about

249
00:09:23,450 --> 00:09:25,149
how to pay. And, basically,

250
00:09:25,529 --> 00:09:27,709
once he got down here, they would just,

251
00:09:28,089 --> 00:09:31,034
I think, monitor his income or if,

252
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,054
it it was easier than I thought. Let

253
00:09:34,054 --> 00:09:35,815
me just say that without going and boring

254
00:09:35,815 --> 00:09:38,695
people with all the all the facts, if

255
00:09:38,695 --> 00:09:41,254
you will. And but it was, it never

256
00:09:41,254 --> 00:09:42,394
reached that point,

257
00:09:42,830 --> 00:09:44,350
but I was glad to have that option

258
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:46,350
if it would have come up. Yes. That

259
00:09:46,350 --> 00:09:48,910
is something that we definitely deal with quite

260
00:09:48,910 --> 00:09:49,410
regularly.

261
00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:52,850
Very often coming over,

262
00:09:54,429 --> 00:09:56,929
people don't realize that we

263
00:09:57,389 --> 00:09:57,889
accept

264
00:09:58,695 --> 00:10:00,555
Medicaid. And so whenever they

265
00:10:01,095 --> 00:10:03,495
come and they're worried about the pricing or

266
00:10:03,495 --> 00:10:05,035
moving their loved one closer,

267
00:10:05,654 --> 00:10:07,575
that is something that we're able to do

268
00:10:07,575 --> 00:10:10,055
is move them in as a private pay,

269
00:10:10,055 --> 00:10:11,195
establish residency,

270
00:10:11,575 --> 00:10:12,315
and then

271
00:10:12,899 --> 00:10:15,379
our residents or the family members taking care

272
00:10:15,379 --> 00:10:17,639
of them can start the process with DHS

273
00:10:17,699 --> 00:10:19,639
to get them established with Medicaid.

274
00:10:19,940 --> 00:10:22,419
Wow. So people shouldn't be afraid of this

275
00:10:22,419 --> 00:10:23,240
big call.

276
00:10:23,620 --> 00:10:25,379
My cousin was in one of those, and

277
00:10:25,379 --> 00:10:27,379
it cost 9,000 a month and this kind

278
00:10:27,379 --> 00:10:28,634
of thing. They should go and talk

279
00:10:31,115 --> 00:10:31,595
to you. Yes. I would always encourage them

280
00:10:31,595 --> 00:10:33,195
to come in and talk to me because

281
00:10:33,195 --> 00:10:33,674
we have

282
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:36,794
there's a lot of different ways that we

283
00:10:36,794 --> 00:10:39,215
can go about it. And with knowing exactly

284
00:10:39,274 --> 00:10:41,595
what their care needs are and how we

285
00:10:41,595 --> 00:10:42,254
can help

286
00:10:42,794 --> 00:10:43,294
is

287
00:10:44,490 --> 00:10:44,990
exactly

288
00:10:45,529 --> 00:10:46,750
what we're looking for.

289
00:10:47,370 --> 00:10:49,769
Just how can I help you? Well, there's

290
00:10:49,769 --> 00:10:51,930
there's the other thing left now. Okay. We

291
00:10:51,930 --> 00:10:53,389
gotta pay it forward. It's

292
00:10:54,090 --> 00:10:56,110
the idea of putting mom in a home.

293
00:10:56,570 --> 00:10:58,330
And Well, that you know, to use that

294
00:10:58,330 --> 00:10:59,975
term. I had to put a relative in

295
00:10:59,975 --> 00:11:02,075
one of those places for a very temporary

296
00:11:04,535 --> 00:11:06,134
period of time, and it was a beautiful

297
00:11:06,134 --> 00:11:07,115
place in Florida,

298
00:11:07,815 --> 00:11:08,315
Arizona.

299
00:11:09,815 --> 00:11:11,470
And it it just tore me up. I

300
00:11:11,710 --> 00:11:13,149
it was so hard for me to do

301
00:11:13,149 --> 00:11:14,590
that. And I knew it was only gonna

302
00:11:14,590 --> 00:11:15,970
be for three or four months.

303
00:11:16,590 --> 00:11:17,649
So I can imagine

304
00:11:18,029 --> 00:11:19,710
putting mom in there, especially if you don't

305
00:11:19,710 --> 00:11:20,909
live close. I

306
00:11:21,470 --> 00:11:23,389
Tony and I and I think that he

307
00:11:23,389 --> 00:11:25,409
can he would agree with me.

308
00:11:26,415 --> 00:11:28,434
We see it every single day.

309
00:11:28,975 --> 00:11:31,394
I always tell people, once you

310
00:11:32,095 --> 00:11:34,095
move a loved one in, there's gonna be

311
00:11:34,095 --> 00:11:36,915
that adjustment period. Not only for the resident

312
00:11:36,975 --> 00:11:37,875
moving in,

313
00:11:38,309 --> 00:11:40,789
because there's always gonna be that adjustment period,

314
00:11:40,789 --> 00:11:41,289
getting

315
00:11:41,669 --> 00:11:44,169
a routine down, getting used to their surroundings,

316
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:44,970
to,

317
00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:48,070
having that twenty four hour care, kind of

318
00:11:48,070 --> 00:11:49,830
knowing what to do, getting used to the

319
00:11:49,830 --> 00:11:50,330
community.

320
00:11:51,014 --> 00:11:52,934
But not a lot of people tell you

321
00:11:52,934 --> 00:11:55,434
there's also an adjustment period for the families.

322
00:11:55,575 --> 00:11:56,315
Oh, absolutely.

323
00:11:56,774 --> 00:11:58,075
100%.

324
00:11:58,215 --> 00:12:00,235
And it, oftentimes,

325
00:12:00,855 --> 00:12:03,575
depending, of course, on the situation, it's a

326
00:12:03,575 --> 00:12:04,875
lot harder on the families.

327
00:12:05,259 --> 00:12:07,019
You feel good. And that's what my job

328
00:12:07,179 --> 00:12:08,779
that's what I love so much about my

329
00:12:08,779 --> 00:12:10,639
job is not only am I able

330
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:13,579
to assist with these seniors finding the care

331
00:12:13,579 --> 00:12:14,940
that they need, but I get to be

332
00:12:14,940 --> 00:12:17,019
that support for the families who are going

333
00:12:17,019 --> 00:12:19,475
through that hard time and having a rough

334
00:12:19,475 --> 00:12:21,735
time coming to terms with, you know, maybe

335
00:12:22,115 --> 00:12:24,054
I can't take care of my wife anymore.

336
00:12:24,195 --> 00:12:26,595
Yeah. And, you know, she needs memory care

337
00:12:26,595 --> 00:12:27,095
services.

338
00:12:27,955 --> 00:12:29,174
And that is

339
00:12:29,634 --> 00:12:31,634
something that I really take a lot of

340
00:12:31,634 --> 00:12:33,875
pride in is that I'm able to to

341
00:12:33,875 --> 00:12:36,190
be that support. The families know that they

342
00:12:36,190 --> 00:12:37,250
can call me anytime.

343
00:12:38,029 --> 00:12:41,409
And Monarch Gardens, specifically, we offer a dementia

344
00:12:41,470 --> 00:12:43,870
support group so we can be there to

345
00:12:43,870 --> 00:12:45,009
support our families

346
00:12:45,549 --> 00:12:47,470
that are moving their loved ones in with

347
00:12:47,470 --> 00:12:49,009
dementia because that,

348
00:12:49,565 --> 00:12:50,464
more than anything,

349
00:12:50,764 --> 00:12:51,264
is

350
00:12:51,644 --> 00:12:53,644
a lot harder for the families Oh, yeah.

351
00:12:53,725 --> 00:12:54,625
For the residents.

352
00:12:55,004 --> 00:12:56,605
Well, I tell you what you've been talking

353
00:12:56,605 --> 00:12:59,084
about is it kinda buoyed my spirits already

354
00:12:59,084 --> 00:12:59,584
because

355
00:13:00,044 --> 00:13:02,204
I'm I'm the only one that my family's

356
00:13:02,204 --> 00:13:03,504
down around Sacramento.

357
00:13:04,029 --> 00:13:04,830
Mhmm. And,

358
00:13:05,230 --> 00:13:07,570
I'm not gonna go back down there.

359
00:13:08,190 --> 00:13:10,269
But and I think about this, of course.

360
00:13:10,269 --> 00:13:12,909
We all older we get, but it sounds

361
00:13:12,909 --> 00:13:14,750
like now I'm in California. I'm in Smith

362
00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:16,529
River, but if I could still

363
00:13:17,084 --> 00:13:19,184
come up and ask to use these services

364
00:13:19,245 --> 00:13:21,404
if that time starts to happen. Is that

365
00:13:21,404 --> 00:13:24,924
correct? Absolutely. Because the California resident doesn't really

366
00:13:24,924 --> 00:13:25,424
matter?

367
00:13:25,804 --> 00:13:28,784
Absolutely. Wow. You can always come in and

368
00:13:28,845 --> 00:13:30,204
talk to me, and we can come up

369
00:13:30,204 --> 00:13:31,184
with a game plan

370
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,620
Mhmm. If the services are needed.

371
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,200
I I always encourage to schedule a meeting

372
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,879
with me, come in and check out the

373
00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:40,179
communities for yourself.

374
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:44,100
Do your research, of course. We,

375
00:13:44,495 --> 00:13:47,235
I always encourage to check out every community

376
00:13:47,375 --> 00:13:48,274
because we

377
00:13:49,054 --> 00:13:50,595
really strive to

378
00:13:51,214 --> 00:13:53,534
fit the resident with the best community for

379
00:13:53,534 --> 00:13:55,475
them. And I know the families are

380
00:13:55,855 --> 00:13:57,695
are the same way and Tony and I

381
00:13:57,695 --> 00:13:59,794
were actually just talking this morning

382
00:14:00,230 --> 00:14:03,509
and different communities are are better for different

383
00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:05,750
residents. It all kind of depends on their

384
00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:08,170
preferences, what they're most comfortable with,

385
00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:12,710
such as Azalea Gardens. It's assisted living and

386
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:14,550
it's memory care, so it's more of a

387
00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:15,850
transitional community.

388
00:14:16,684 --> 00:14:19,325
It's a smaller community where there are some

389
00:14:19,325 --> 00:14:23,105
very large assisted living communities that offer multiple,

390
00:14:25,404 --> 00:14:27,904
different services, but we are very

391
00:14:29,804 --> 00:14:30,784
home homey.

392
00:14:31,919 --> 00:14:34,240
Yes. That's the feeling I get. We're very

393
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,960
homey. We're very I'm sure everybody out there

394
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,440
is getting that same feeling. Yeah. We we're

395
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,700
like a big family no matter what community

396
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:44,954
it is. That's some some beautiful stuff. Yes.

397
00:14:44,975 --> 00:14:46,054
That and,

398
00:14:46,534 --> 00:14:48,695
by the way, y'all can text in if

399
00:14:48,695 --> 00:14:51,514
you like. Questions or comments, (541)

400
00:14:51,735 --> 00:14:54,634
661-4098.

401
00:14:54,695 --> 00:14:55,674
You know, I had

402
00:14:56,294 --> 00:14:59,115
now this is down around Sacramento area, actually,

403
00:14:59,174 --> 00:14:59,674
Roseville.

404
00:15:01,050 --> 00:15:03,050
My my mom reached that point, and we

405
00:15:03,050 --> 00:15:05,129
had to put her in a place. Now

406
00:15:05,129 --> 00:15:07,389
this was called board and care.

407
00:15:08,009 --> 00:15:10,330
I don't know. I'm assuming it's kind of

408
00:15:10,330 --> 00:15:11,870
like assisted living,

409
00:15:13,144 --> 00:15:16,605
But this place was and, again, when,

410
00:15:17,625 --> 00:15:19,164
the doctor that made that

411
00:15:19,544 --> 00:15:21,644
assessment, she couldn't live alone anymore.

412
00:15:22,345 --> 00:15:22,845
And,

413
00:15:23,784 --> 00:15:24,284
they

414
00:15:24,730 --> 00:15:27,049
got us to the right place. The it

415
00:15:27,049 --> 00:15:29,070
was a house, basically, that had,

416
00:15:30,410 --> 00:15:32,170
oh, I think there were about maybe eight

417
00:15:32,170 --> 00:15:33,230
residents there.

418
00:15:33,690 --> 00:15:36,190
But does that similar to the assisted living?

419
00:15:37,034 --> 00:15:40,154
Because she she didn't require memory care at

420
00:15:40,154 --> 00:15:40,815
that time.

421
00:15:41,995 --> 00:15:45,294
It sound that sounds more like an adult

422
00:15:45,355 --> 00:15:47,375
foster home. What do you think, Tony?

423
00:15:49,340 --> 00:15:52,059
Yeah. I know they make smaller assisted livings

424
00:15:52,059 --> 00:15:54,220
as well to try to create a little

425
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:55,840
bit more of a home like environment.

426
00:15:56,540 --> 00:15:57,519
I know that

427
00:15:58,379 --> 00:15:59,919
the two types of assisted

428
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:01,725
or the two types of,

429
00:16:02,204 --> 00:16:02,704
living,

430
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:05,004
community based care types that we provide in

431
00:16:05,004 --> 00:16:07,004
the area would be assisted living or memory

432
00:16:07,004 --> 00:16:07,504
care.

433
00:16:07,964 --> 00:16:11,404
Whenever an individual determines for themselves or for

434
00:16:11,404 --> 00:16:12,384
their loved ones

435
00:16:12,684 --> 00:16:14,924
that they can no longer live safely or

436
00:16:14,924 --> 00:16:16,625
appropriately in home alone,

437
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,919
then that's when it would be the best

438
00:16:18,919 --> 00:16:21,079
fit to take a look at an assisted

439
00:16:21,079 --> 00:16:22,539
living or a memory care.

440
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,299
If an individual has a diagnosis of Alzheimer's

441
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:27,259
or dementia

442
00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:29,980
or another related form of dementia,

443
00:16:30,554 --> 00:16:32,634
then it may be the most appropriate fit

444
00:16:32,634 --> 00:16:33,995
for them to take a look at a

445
00:16:33,995 --> 00:16:34,815
memory care.

446
00:16:35,195 --> 00:16:38,235
I'd say outside of safety and appropriateness, there

447
00:16:38,235 --> 00:16:39,455
are a lot of people living,

448
00:16:40,154 --> 00:16:41,294
a home alone.

449
00:16:41,995 --> 00:16:43,375
That can also create,

450
00:16:44,235 --> 00:16:44,735
isolation,

451
00:16:45,470 --> 00:16:47,710
which can lead to depression and anxiety. So

452
00:16:47,710 --> 00:16:49,790
one thing that we can also provide in

453
00:16:49,790 --> 00:16:52,029
an assisted living for an individual who doesn't

454
00:16:52,029 --> 00:16:54,990
quite need help with some of those activities

455
00:16:54,990 --> 00:16:57,629
of daily living, like bathing or toileting or

456
00:16:57,629 --> 00:16:58,129
ambulation,

457
00:16:59,470 --> 00:16:59,970
mobility,

458
00:17:00,914 --> 00:17:03,715
They can, get into a community where they

459
00:17:03,715 --> 00:17:06,515
can live in, their own apartment with friends,

460
00:17:06,515 --> 00:17:08,775
make friends, be a part of a family,

461
00:17:09,394 --> 00:17:11,734
attend activities within the community,

462
00:17:12,434 --> 00:17:15,259
at large, attend activities within the building,

463
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,980
and it really creates an environment of socialization

464
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,359
for people that they may not be able

465
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,359
to get in their own home even if

466
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,200
they're receiving, you know, in home care or,

467
00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:27,480
friends and family coming periodically. This just creates

468
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,774
a scenario for them to be able to

469
00:17:29,774 --> 00:17:32,014
have quality of care and quality of life

470
00:17:32,014 --> 00:17:33,794
all in the same place. Yeah.

471
00:17:34,174 --> 00:17:34,674
Socialization

472
00:17:34,974 --> 00:17:35,954
and life enrichment,

473
00:17:36,335 --> 00:17:37,634
all I have

474
00:17:38,014 --> 00:17:41,294
just through my experience, I have seen do

475
00:17:41,294 --> 00:17:42,274
absolute wonders

476
00:17:42,970 --> 00:17:45,130
with some of the residents coming in. A

477
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:46,830
lot of them coming from home,

478
00:17:47,610 --> 00:17:50,490
do feel isolated. They do have that sense

479
00:17:50,490 --> 00:17:51,309
of depression.

480
00:17:51,610 --> 00:17:53,870
They're they're not around a lot of people.

481
00:17:54,809 --> 00:17:56,970
A lot of families come in, and they're

482
00:17:56,970 --> 00:17:59,444
like, oh, my my dad's just gonna be

483
00:17:59,444 --> 00:18:01,444
sitting in front of the TV. He's not

484
00:18:01,444 --> 00:18:03,944
really a social guy or,

485
00:18:04,244 --> 00:18:06,244
you know, he's gonna spend a majority of

486
00:18:06,244 --> 00:18:08,404
time in his room. And then the next

487
00:18:08,404 --> 00:18:09,944
week, I go to that community

488
00:18:10,244 --> 00:18:11,865
and he's doing woodworking.

489
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,079
He's out there enjoying the live music, dancing

490
00:18:16,079 --> 00:18:18,500
with the other residents. It it all

491
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:20,880
kind of falls hand in hand with getting

492
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,819
that life enrichment and that socialization

493
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,454
and just a change of environment. Yeah.

494
00:18:25,934 --> 00:18:27,534
Well, that's yeah. I I I have to

495
00:18:27,534 --> 00:18:28,095
assume you

496
00:18:28,734 --> 00:18:30,894
probably a lot of great situations, but there's

497
00:18:30,894 --> 00:18:33,615
probably some sad situations in there where the

498
00:18:33,615 --> 00:18:36,494
family dynamic is maybe not the best for

499
00:18:36,494 --> 00:18:38,815
that person that's going through. Yes. And then

500
00:18:38,815 --> 00:18:41,809
that who, who makes that decision to say,

501
00:18:41,809 --> 00:18:42,309
hey.

502
00:18:43,890 --> 00:18:44,950
We need to get

503
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:46,950
your mom or dad

504
00:18:47,250 --> 00:18:49,509
into this and not living alone.

505
00:18:50,289 --> 00:18:51,750
So that would be

506
00:18:52,690 --> 00:18:53,349
the family

507
00:18:53,894 --> 00:18:55,994
or if the doctor recommends it.

508
00:18:58,375 --> 00:19:00,695
Tony, do you have anything to say on

509
00:19:00,695 --> 00:19:01,355
that matter

510
00:19:02,295 --> 00:19:03,414
who would make that call? That

511
00:19:04,615 --> 00:19:05,994
yeah. For an individual

512
00:19:06,455 --> 00:19:08,634
who isn't living with cognitive decline,

513
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,519
that could be a decision that they can

514
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:12,119
make on their own. They'd be they'd be

515
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,119
first in charge with making that that that

516
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,019
final decision.

517
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:17,640
And then with their friends and family and

518
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,960
their doctor, they can get together and make

519
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,200
a decision and and determine if that would

520
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,255
be the best fit for them. And then

521
00:19:24,255 --> 00:19:26,974
if an individual is living with cognitive decline

522
00:19:26,974 --> 00:19:29,795
and they've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia,

523
00:19:30,575 --> 00:19:33,394
those decisions would be most appropriate for whomever

524
00:19:33,455 --> 00:19:35,394
they've in place as their guardian

525
00:19:36,179 --> 00:19:37,879
and, their power of attorney

526
00:19:38,259 --> 00:19:40,980
and also in association with the resident themselves

527
00:19:40,980 --> 00:19:41,480
too,

528
00:19:41,859 --> 00:19:44,519
just based on their, cognitive ability

529
00:19:44,899 --> 00:19:46,519
to continue to make determinations

530
00:19:46,819 --> 00:19:48,359
for themselves in that regard.

531
00:19:50,105 --> 00:19:52,664
Boy, you'd you touched on something pretty important,

532
00:19:52,664 --> 00:19:53,325
I guess.

533
00:19:53,625 --> 00:19:55,944
And my sister and I, who we did

534
00:19:55,944 --> 00:19:58,044
take care of that before my mom reached

535
00:19:58,184 --> 00:20:01,144
a certain level about power of attorney, medical

536
00:20:01,144 --> 00:20:03,244
power of attorney. There's some plans

537
00:20:04,619 --> 00:20:06,619
that, hopefully, the families and the people that

538
00:20:06,619 --> 00:20:08,559
are listening are getting that

539
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:11,100
together. I don't pea I don't think I

540
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:13,200
don't feel like a lot of people understand

541
00:20:13,340 --> 00:20:16,140
the importance of that until they're actually in

542
00:20:16,140 --> 00:20:16,880
the situation.

543
00:20:18,714 --> 00:20:21,434
But anybody that I meet, I highly, highly,

544
00:20:21,434 --> 00:20:23,994
highly encourage them to get that paperwork in

545
00:20:23,994 --> 00:20:25,855
place. Get pick out

546
00:20:26,474 --> 00:20:28,954
get your advance directive done. Get your power

547
00:20:28,954 --> 00:20:31,919
of attorney done. Get your pulse form done

548
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:34,240
so they know exactly how to accommodate you

549
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,859
just in case something does happen.

550
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:38,819
You're preaching to the choir, of course, because,

551
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,539
who's not listening?

552
00:20:45,855 --> 00:20:48,414
Advanced director? Advanced director. I said, yes. It's

553
00:20:48,414 --> 00:20:50,654
it's sitting right on the coffee table right

554
00:20:50,654 --> 00:20:52,255
where it was when the doctor gave it

555
00:20:52,255 --> 00:20:53,554
to me five years ago.

556
00:20:54,095 --> 00:20:56,335
You didn't fill it out? No. Oh, right.

557
00:20:56,335 --> 00:20:58,255
Well, get to get to questions. I don't

558
00:20:58,255 --> 00:20:58,755
wanna

559
00:20:59,549 --> 00:21:01,329
They're they're difficult questions.

560
00:21:01,710 --> 00:21:03,230
Well, they're difficult, but,

561
00:21:04,829 --> 00:21:05,730
they're necessary.

562
00:21:06,109 --> 00:21:08,349
Abs I have Absolutely. I belong to the

563
00:21:08,349 --> 00:21:10,269
tribal health down below, and they have some

564
00:21:10,429 --> 00:21:12,909
it's it's a it's considered an advanced directive,

565
00:21:12,909 --> 00:21:15,035
and it was called five wishes.

566
00:21:15,335 --> 00:21:16,615
And there was a lot of stuff in

567
00:21:16,615 --> 00:21:18,375
there. And, I mean, it it was just

568
00:21:18,375 --> 00:21:19,815
great. I did that five or six years

569
00:21:19,815 --> 00:21:20,315
ago.

570
00:21:21,095 --> 00:21:21,755
And I,

571
00:21:22,855 --> 00:21:25,815
well, anyway, I think I'm prepared, but you

572
00:21:25,815 --> 00:21:28,470
said POLST, and I didn't. I kinda forgot

573
00:21:28,470 --> 00:21:30,070
about that until two weeks ago. I was

574
00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:31,509
at my doctor, and we were talking about

575
00:21:31,509 --> 00:21:32,650
the advanced directive.

576
00:21:33,029 --> 00:21:34,630
And she says, what and you have your

577
00:21:34,630 --> 00:21:35,130
POLST?

578
00:21:35,670 --> 00:21:37,990
I think that's right. Yeah. Physician order for

579
00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:38,490
life's

580
00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:42,470
life sustaining treatment. Yep. And I said, nope.

581
00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:43,130
I don't.

582
00:21:43,575 --> 00:21:45,494
So I filled that out, and then I

583
00:21:45,494 --> 00:21:46,234
had to go,

584
00:21:47,015 --> 00:21:48,774
see her again to make sure I guess,

585
00:21:48,774 --> 00:21:51,174
they've assessed disguise of right mind doing the

586
00:21:51,174 --> 00:21:53,095
right thing. Yeah. And now it's the the

587
00:21:53,095 --> 00:21:55,034
pink sheet, and it's on my refrigerator,

588
00:21:55,335 --> 00:21:57,750
and it's filed away. Well, filed. Good job,

589
00:21:57,750 --> 00:22:00,549
Ray. That's See see, Ray? Yeah. Yeah. But

590
00:22:00,549 --> 00:22:01,829
wait a minute. I've spent a lot of

591
00:22:01,829 --> 00:22:04,069
a lot of a lot of money to

592
00:22:04,069 --> 00:22:05,690
get black appliances and

593
00:22:05,990 --> 00:22:07,589
have at least that much of my kitchen

594
00:22:07,589 --> 00:22:08,869
looking good. Now you want me to put

595
00:22:08,869 --> 00:22:11,029
a day glow pink thing on? No way

596
00:22:11,029 --> 00:22:11,769
gonna happen.

597
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:13,805
I did. When when I was a cop,

598
00:22:13,805 --> 00:22:15,404
though, I did come across one of those.

599
00:22:15,404 --> 00:22:16,845
Unfortunately, it looked like I was already dead,

600
00:22:16,845 --> 00:22:17,345
but

601
00:22:17,725 --> 00:22:19,644
it taped on the on his refrigerator, and

602
00:22:19,644 --> 00:22:21,244
it had all the pills and things and

603
00:22:21,485 --> 00:22:24,045
Right. Yeah. And that's exactly what it's for.

604
00:22:24,045 --> 00:22:25,319
I mean, just in case

605
00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:28,220
nobody ever knows what's gonna happen. No.

606
00:22:28,679 --> 00:22:31,159
And the majority of the time, it happens

607
00:22:31,159 --> 00:22:31,659
unexpectedly.

608
00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:35,000
And just to have the advance directive, the

609
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:35,819
post form,

610
00:22:36,599 --> 00:22:38,839
the power of attorney stuff just in place

611
00:22:38,839 --> 00:22:41,464
just so people know your wishes, know

612
00:22:42,005 --> 00:22:44,025
how if you want to be resuscitated,

613
00:22:44,565 --> 00:22:47,125
if you stop breathing. Right. That's that's that's

614
00:22:47,125 --> 00:22:48,984
one of the questions I had. I was,

615
00:22:50,244 --> 00:22:52,744
sitting and trying again to fill it out

616
00:22:52,964 --> 00:22:55,500
with my girlfriend, and it gets to that.

617
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:57,759
Do you wanna be resuscitated? Well, that's

618
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:00,940
that's not giving you enough information. You wanna

619
00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:03,100
be resuscitated because you had an electric shock,

620
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:05,100
which you can be resuscitated and live a

621
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:08,154
perfectly normal life, or you wanna be resuscitated

622
00:23:08,295 --> 00:23:10,375
because your heart went into defib or something.

623
00:23:10,375 --> 00:23:10,954
I believe

624
00:23:11,255 --> 00:23:13,414
that. I I wanna be I wanna be

625
00:23:13,414 --> 00:23:15,335
resuscitated if I'm gonna come back and be

626
00:23:15,335 --> 00:23:15,835
normal.

627
00:23:17,335 --> 00:23:19,335
She seemed to think that never happens. I

628
00:23:19,335 --> 00:23:21,380
I think it does. Well and it it

629
00:23:21,539 --> 00:23:22,519
there's different

630
00:23:24,579 --> 00:23:25,079
sections

631
00:23:25,539 --> 00:23:27,859
on it with the advance directive and with

632
00:23:27,859 --> 00:23:28,759
the post form

633
00:23:29,299 --> 00:23:30,519
to go over exactly

634
00:23:31,619 --> 00:23:33,640
what you would want done. So,

635
00:23:34,505 --> 00:23:36,284
if you wanted CPR,

636
00:23:36,904 --> 00:23:38,684
it wouldn't if you were to stop breathing,

637
00:23:38,744 --> 00:23:41,464
then absolutely, I would check that one. But

638
00:23:41,464 --> 00:23:42,204
there's also,

639
00:23:42,744 --> 00:23:44,744
like, a portion on there. But the but

640
00:23:44,744 --> 00:23:45,884
I don't wanna be

641
00:23:46,769 --> 00:23:48,730
resuscitated if I I just

642
00:23:49,170 --> 00:23:51,190
Like, eat fade away and died, and

643
00:23:51,890 --> 00:23:54,049
and CPR could possibly bring it back to

644
00:23:54,049 --> 00:23:56,049
life as a vegetable, and you'll live another

645
00:23:56,049 --> 00:23:57,009
three or four years. I wish now I

646
00:23:57,009 --> 00:23:58,930
would've bought because I've got copies of it

647
00:23:58,930 --> 00:24:00,805
also. I wish I would have brought that

648
00:24:00,965 --> 00:24:02,744
I know. I'm trying to think of exactly

649
00:24:02,805 --> 00:24:05,365
what it covers right now. It covers a

650
00:24:05,365 --> 00:24:07,384
lot of it. Stuff. It goes through details,

651
00:24:07,445 --> 00:24:08,985
and then you can check exactly,

652
00:24:10,244 --> 00:24:12,085
what you want them to do if this

653
00:24:12,085 --> 00:24:15,785
situation happens or if this situation happens. Yeah.

654
00:24:16,140 --> 00:24:16,720
Okay. Again, I've,

655
00:24:17,233 --> 00:24:19,500
I should give the phone number. Yes. Go

656
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:20,960
ahead. (541)

657
00:24:21,259 --> 00:24:23,820
661-4098.

658
00:24:23,820 --> 00:24:25,839
If you have any questions or comments,

659
00:24:27,339 --> 00:24:29,894
send us a text. We have operators standing

660
00:24:29,894 --> 00:24:30,394
by

661
00:24:31,015 --> 00:24:32,234
waiting. Moi.

662
00:24:33,015 --> 00:24:33,994
So we'll see.

663
00:24:35,815 --> 00:24:38,375
Well and, again, you talked about so many

664
00:24:38,375 --> 00:24:40,954
different levels of care that you guys cover.

665
00:24:41,460 --> 00:24:43,859
You know, some of the places, it's almost

666
00:24:43,859 --> 00:24:46,179
like, I think, kinda live in in your

667
00:24:46,179 --> 00:24:47,559
own apartment Yes.

668
00:24:47,859 --> 00:24:50,179
Where you can cook for yourself if if

669
00:24:50,179 --> 00:24:53,559
you so desire. And then, obviously, the cost

670
00:24:53,779 --> 00:24:55,799
vary in all of that. But

671
00:24:56,774 --> 00:24:59,654
no matter the cost, it sounds like what

672
00:24:59,654 --> 00:25:01,274
you were talking earlier about,

673
00:25:02,134 --> 00:25:04,134
you pay what you I that's gonna sound

674
00:25:04,134 --> 00:25:06,454
funny. You pay what you can. But you

675
00:25:06,615 --> 00:25:09,335
y'all can work it out with people and

676
00:25:09,335 --> 00:25:10,794
their families. Yes.

677
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,200
Yes. So what happens is after somebody comes

678
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,019
in to,

679
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,279
do a tour, they decide that they wanna

680
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:21,140
move forward with one of our communities.

681
00:25:22,974 --> 00:25:26,194
And then what happens is we do

682
00:25:26,894 --> 00:25:28,115
a initial evaluation

683
00:25:28,734 --> 00:25:30,734
to go over how we can accommodate. And,

684
00:25:30,734 --> 00:25:32,494
Tony, if you wanna get into a little

685
00:25:32,494 --> 00:25:34,994
bit about the evaluation and what that entails.

686
00:25:36,340 --> 00:25:39,080
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. The evaluations that we provide

687
00:25:39,140 --> 00:25:41,619
can be done in our communities or in

688
00:25:41,619 --> 00:25:42,279
the privacy

689
00:25:42,580 --> 00:25:44,200
of the individual's home.

690
00:25:44,740 --> 00:25:47,160
We get together, and we try to determine

691
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:48,039
a personalized

692
00:25:48,565 --> 00:25:50,644
care plan for them just based on their

693
00:25:50,644 --> 00:25:51,305
care needs.

694
00:25:51,684 --> 00:25:54,005
We go through a few activities of daily

695
00:25:54,005 --> 00:25:55,684
living. Some of the examples of that would

696
00:25:55,684 --> 00:25:56,585
be like showering,

697
00:25:57,285 --> 00:25:58,505
toileting, mobility,

698
00:25:59,845 --> 00:26:01,445
things like that. And then we also go

699
00:26:01,445 --> 00:26:01,945
through

700
00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:03,400
asking care,

701
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:07,900
questions regarding instrumental activity of the, day, activities

702
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:08,940
of daily living.

703
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,799
Those would consist of things like housekeeping and

704
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:12,619
meal preparation

705
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,059
and laundry.

706
00:26:14,884 --> 00:26:16,004
And once we,

707
00:26:16,404 --> 00:26:17,384
go through the evaluation,

708
00:26:18,004 --> 00:26:20,484
we're able to determine the care need and

709
00:26:20,484 --> 00:26:22,184
assistance type for the individual,

710
00:26:22,644 --> 00:26:24,884
and that's where we create the personalized care

711
00:26:24,884 --> 00:26:27,544
plan for them. The assessments or evaluations

712
00:26:27,845 --> 00:26:31,200
are typically done by an administrator, a registered

713
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:31,700
nurse,

714
00:26:32,159 --> 00:26:34,399
or a resident care coordinator. So we always

715
00:26:34,399 --> 00:26:35,380
make sure that there's

716
00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:38,240
a qualified individual who comes out, meets with

717
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:38,819
the family,

718
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:42,159
and goes over, personalized questions, not just about

719
00:26:42,159 --> 00:26:44,355
caring. He's also about things like life history,

720
00:26:44,974 --> 00:26:46,115
where they were born,

721
00:26:46,974 --> 00:26:49,394
spiritual preferences, cultural preferences,

722
00:26:50,414 --> 00:26:52,414
things to be able to get to know

723
00:26:52,414 --> 00:26:54,914
who they are as from a holistic approach

724
00:26:54,974 --> 00:26:55,794
as a person,

725
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,400
not only just to provide their care, but

726
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,080
to be able to provide a good source

727
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,619
of quality of life for them.

728
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,240
And, it's it's a it's a great process.

729
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,559
It typically takes about an hour. And like

730
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:08,880
I was mentioning before, there's no commitment to

731
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,694
move in, and there's no, no cost or

732
00:27:11,694 --> 00:27:14,115
anything associated with an evaluation.

733
00:27:16,095 --> 00:27:18,974
Well, that's that's huge. It it goes over

734
00:27:18,974 --> 00:27:21,315
exactly how you would like to be accommodated

735
00:27:22,109 --> 00:27:24,670
or how say that somebody has a certain

736
00:27:24,670 --> 00:27:25,150
way,

737
00:27:25,630 --> 00:27:26,369
that they

738
00:27:27,150 --> 00:27:29,150
get their loved ones in the shower, for

739
00:27:29,150 --> 00:27:30,130
instance. Yeah.

740
00:27:30,750 --> 00:27:32,990
Some are a little resistant and maybe a

741
00:27:32,990 --> 00:27:34,904
little bribery works, or

742
00:27:35,444 --> 00:27:38,085
maybe they go in and they set up

743
00:27:38,085 --> 00:27:41,204
the shower exactly how getting everything kind of

744
00:27:41,204 --> 00:27:43,305
ready for them, help them in the shower.

745
00:27:44,565 --> 00:27:46,404
But we just we want our residents to

746
00:27:46,404 --> 00:27:47,144
feel comfortable

747
00:27:48,369 --> 00:27:50,289
and be accommodated for the way that they

748
00:27:50,289 --> 00:27:51,589
want to be. Yeah.

749
00:27:52,529 --> 00:27:54,529
One of the biggest parts would be promoting

750
00:27:54,529 --> 00:27:57,029
their and maintaining their current independence.

751
00:27:57,569 --> 00:28:00,630
Yeah. So assistance looks different for an individual.

752
00:28:00,769 --> 00:28:02,609
That's really what we always wanna keep in

753
00:28:02,609 --> 00:28:04,644
mind and try to promote is assist them

754
00:28:04,644 --> 00:28:05,464
with maintaining

755
00:28:06,085 --> 00:28:08,644
their independence first and foremost. Some people need

756
00:28:08,644 --> 00:28:09,144
setup.

757
00:28:09,605 --> 00:28:10,825
Some people need queuing.

758
00:28:11,285 --> 00:28:13,684
Some people need hands on assistance. Some people

759
00:28:13,684 --> 00:28:14,184
need

760
00:28:14,884 --> 00:28:17,384
reminders. Some people need standby assistance.

761
00:28:17,929 --> 00:28:19,690
We really wanna be there to be able

762
00:28:19,690 --> 00:28:22,329
to provide the right assistance type for the

763
00:28:22,329 --> 00:28:22,829
individual

764
00:28:23,369 --> 00:28:24,890
in the moment when they need it and

765
00:28:24,890 --> 00:28:25,869
if they transition

766
00:28:26,490 --> 00:28:28,730
into a higher level of care. We just

767
00:28:28,730 --> 00:28:30,669
want everyone to know that we provide

768
00:28:31,184 --> 00:28:33,904
basic entry level services like housekeeping, laundry, and

769
00:28:33,904 --> 00:28:35,424
meals all the way up through end of

770
00:28:35,424 --> 00:28:35,924
life,

771
00:28:36,384 --> 00:28:37,524
home health, hospice,

772
00:28:38,144 --> 00:28:39,044
OT, PT.

773
00:28:39,345 --> 00:28:41,264
Everybody's welcome in just like they would be

774
00:28:41,264 --> 00:28:42,804
in your home. OCPT?

775
00:28:44,019 --> 00:28:44,519
Occupational

776
00:28:44,900 --> 00:28:46,679
therapy and physical therapy.

777
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:48,599
So with home health services,

778
00:28:49,380 --> 00:28:51,140
that is something that they come in and

779
00:28:51,140 --> 00:28:53,720
they're able to do physical therapy and occupational

780
00:28:53,940 --> 00:28:55,940
therapy with our residents a few days a

781
00:28:55,940 --> 00:28:56,440
week.

782
00:28:57,194 --> 00:28:58,414
And then with hospice,

783
00:28:58,714 --> 00:28:59,375
of course,

784
00:28:59,994 --> 00:29:02,494
if they are on hospice, they have nurses

785
00:29:02,634 --> 00:29:03,134
or

786
00:29:03,595 --> 00:29:06,154
physicians that come into our communities a few

787
00:29:06,154 --> 00:29:08,075
times a week or as needed to see

788
00:29:08,075 --> 00:29:08,734
our residents.

789
00:29:10,269 --> 00:29:11,789
Boy, and a shout out to,

790
00:29:12,269 --> 00:29:13,329
I used hospice

791
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:14,529
with my,

792
00:29:15,470 --> 00:29:17,730
dear late departed wife, and,

793
00:29:19,230 --> 00:29:20,849
that was one of the

794
00:29:21,230 --> 00:29:23,490
best things to have. They're wonderful.

795
00:29:24,055 --> 00:29:26,955
I I I really appreciated everything that they

796
00:29:27,174 --> 00:29:29,815
did. They're they're pretty amazing. They are. Yes.

797
00:29:29,815 --> 00:29:32,134
We are very happy to be partners with

798
00:29:32,134 --> 00:29:33,835
them and to have the relationship

799
00:29:34,134 --> 00:29:36,695
that we do. Right. Well, and and, like,

800
00:29:36,695 --> 00:29:38,695
you and Tony sound like special people, and

801
00:29:38,695 --> 00:29:40,630
they are special people to to be able

802
00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:42,230
to do that kind of thing. Well, thank

803
00:29:42,230 --> 00:29:43,049
you. We

804
00:29:43,910 --> 00:29:46,089
it it takes a special type of person

805
00:29:46,309 --> 00:29:47,690
to work in this field.

806
00:29:48,309 --> 00:29:49,450
The things that

807
00:29:49,910 --> 00:29:51,670
that we see and we do might not

808
00:29:51,670 --> 00:29:52,650
be for everybody,

809
00:29:54,105 --> 00:29:56,105
But we are just happy to provide the

810
00:29:56,105 --> 00:29:57,325
service for our community.

811
00:29:58,744 --> 00:29:59,244
Is

812
00:29:59,785 --> 00:30:01,404
so everything sounds

813
00:30:01,945 --> 00:30:03,484
so wonderful, and it does.

814
00:30:03,785 --> 00:30:06,684
Is, is there there waiting list for people?

815
00:30:07,224 --> 00:30:07,829
Are are

816
00:30:08,309 --> 00:30:09,909
the facilities that we have, or do you

817
00:30:09,909 --> 00:30:12,089
think that's enough? Do we need more?

818
00:30:13,349 --> 00:30:15,829
Because we're a big senior community. It's rural.

819
00:30:15,829 --> 00:30:17,929
We don't have a lot of people. Right.

820
00:30:18,069 --> 00:30:18,569
But

821
00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:20,490
most of them are seniors.

822
00:30:20,984 --> 00:30:22,045
Yes. I

823
00:30:22,424 --> 00:30:24,525
I feel I mean, it kind of depends.

824
00:30:25,144 --> 00:30:26,444
It it all varies.

825
00:30:27,065 --> 00:30:29,404
So with the waiting list, I mean, sometimes

826
00:30:29,464 --> 00:30:31,724
we do have a waiting list. K. Sometimes

827
00:30:31,865 --> 00:30:34,204
we go through the waiting list quite quickly.

828
00:30:34,265 --> 00:30:35,144
It all kind of

829
00:30:36,230 --> 00:30:38,150
I can't really set a timeline No. Well

830
00:30:38,390 --> 00:30:40,150
if you know if not. Yeah. Well, I

831
00:30:40,150 --> 00:30:42,230
mean in the nicest way possible. Well yeah.

832
00:30:42,230 --> 00:30:42,970
But, generally,

833
00:30:44,549 --> 00:30:47,269
there's if somebody wants to come in, it

834
00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:48,970
doesn't sound like it's gonna be,

835
00:30:49,325 --> 00:30:51,825
like, a two year window list or something.

836
00:30:52,125 --> 00:30:52,625
Okay.

837
00:30:53,085 --> 00:30:55,244
Okay. Because I'm sure it No. Not at

838
00:30:55,244 --> 00:30:57,565
all. No. I know currently, we have openings

839
00:30:57,565 --> 00:30:59,164
in all three of our communities in the

840
00:30:59,164 --> 00:31:02,279
area right now. Really? Yeah. Wow. And we've

841
00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:02,779
actually

842
00:31:03,079 --> 00:31:05,500
I think Tony and I set the record

843
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,460
for our company

844
00:31:06,919 --> 00:31:08,140
in getting somebody,

845
00:31:09,399 --> 00:31:12,299
assessed and admitted. It was an emergency situation,

846
00:31:12,599 --> 00:31:14,700
and it took, what, four hours, Tony?

847
00:31:16,534 --> 00:31:19,034
Yeah. It's it's pretty unbelievable start to finish,

848
00:31:19,335 --> 00:31:20,855
but a lot of it is just about

849
00:31:20,855 --> 00:31:21,914
serving the individual,

850
00:31:23,015 --> 00:31:24,954
meeting their sense of urgency,

851
00:31:25,414 --> 00:31:27,275
and really just trying to find

852
00:31:27,815 --> 00:31:29,974
the right environment, make sure that things are

853
00:31:29,974 --> 00:31:32,190
developed safely and appropriately, but just

854
00:31:32,750 --> 00:31:34,750
really trying to assist any way we can

855
00:31:34,750 --> 00:31:37,149
by serving the public, serving the individuals, and

856
00:31:37,149 --> 00:31:38,750
and making sure that that's how we lead

857
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:40,669
and and that's how we provide for them

858
00:31:40,669 --> 00:31:43,490
by serving them. Okay. What would an emergency

859
00:31:44,974 --> 00:31:46,515
situation consist of?

860
00:31:48,494 --> 00:31:50,654
That's a tough one, Ray. I've seen I've

861
00:31:50,654 --> 00:31:51,875
seen quite a few,

862
00:31:52,815 --> 00:31:55,535
and I'm sure Tony has as well. But

863
00:31:55,535 --> 00:31:57,875
we work very closely with, like, the hospitals

864
00:31:58,255 --> 00:31:58,994
in town.

865
00:31:59,890 --> 00:32:03,089
Skilled nursing, we work very closely with the

866
00:32:03,089 --> 00:32:04,869
doctor's offices in town,

867
00:32:06,210 --> 00:32:07,970
from Crescent City all the way up to

868
00:32:07,970 --> 00:32:10,289
Coos Bay all over Oregon. So there's a

869
00:32:10,289 --> 00:32:12,884
lot of hospitals that, I mean, like I

870
00:32:12,884 --> 00:32:15,125
was saying, you never you can never really

871
00:32:15,125 --> 00:32:15,625
expect

872
00:32:16,085 --> 00:32:18,485
when something happens. Uh-huh. A majority of the

873
00:32:18,485 --> 00:32:21,205
time, it's unexpected. And you land in the

874
00:32:21,205 --> 00:32:22,985
hospital, and then all of a sudden,

875
00:32:23,605 --> 00:32:24,105
they

876
00:32:24,779 --> 00:32:26,380
tell you, you know, you're not safe to

877
00:32:26,380 --> 00:32:29,019
be discharged home. Mhmm. And that's whenever they

878
00:32:29,019 --> 00:32:30,380
get a hold of us. We get a

879
00:32:30,380 --> 00:32:32,380
hold of the family members, and we just

880
00:32:32,380 --> 00:32:34,559
kind of work through the process that way.

881
00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:38,505
But this the one that we were speaking

882
00:32:38,505 --> 00:32:39,005
about,

883
00:32:39,544 --> 00:32:40,765
for memory care

884
00:32:41,224 --> 00:32:43,404
is with the cognition decline,

885
00:32:43,784 --> 00:32:44,284
it

886
00:32:45,065 --> 00:32:47,944
it sets a a much higher sense of

887
00:32:47,944 --> 00:32:48,444
urgency

888
00:32:49,304 --> 00:32:51,164
Yeah. For it. Because we have

889
00:32:51,679 --> 00:32:54,179
seniors in the area with dementia and Alzheimer's

890
00:32:54,319 --> 00:32:56,480
who sometimes wander and they can't find their

891
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,880
way back home. So they're walking into the

892
00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,779
street or

893
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:02,480
walking down into the harbor and they can't

894
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,700
find their way back.

895
00:33:04,115 --> 00:33:06,674
And so that's where we're able to provide

896
00:33:06,674 --> 00:33:09,154
a secured environment where they're able to really

897
00:33:09,154 --> 00:33:10,295
thrive in our community.

898
00:33:11,234 --> 00:33:13,494
And that is that's one of the instances.

899
00:33:13,795 --> 00:33:16,755
Tony, do you have any examples of, like,

900
00:33:16,755 --> 00:33:18,215
a emergency situation?

901
00:33:20,490 --> 00:33:22,730
Yeah. I would say similar to that example,

902
00:33:22,730 --> 00:33:24,109
if if somebody

903
00:33:24,410 --> 00:33:27,210
particularly is living with cognitive decline and they're

904
00:33:27,210 --> 00:33:28,430
alone in their own home,

905
00:33:28,890 --> 00:33:31,690
and it's been turn it's been determined that

906
00:33:31,690 --> 00:33:32,830
they can no longer,

907
00:33:34,515 --> 00:33:37,234
make certain safe decisions, like cooking on their

908
00:33:37,234 --> 00:33:39,634
own by themselves, taking their medications on their

909
00:33:39,634 --> 00:33:40,615
own by themselves.

910
00:33:41,555 --> 00:33:43,015
The individual may wander,

911
00:33:43,474 --> 00:33:45,474
and that's a really fancy way of saying

912
00:33:45,474 --> 00:33:48,470
that they they exit the home, can leave

913
00:33:48,529 --> 00:33:50,609
the home, go to a destination, and and

914
00:33:50,609 --> 00:33:53,009
not remember how to get back home or

915
00:33:53,009 --> 00:33:55,809
forget the intent and purpose for for taking

916
00:33:55,809 --> 00:33:56,549
that trip.

917
00:33:57,009 --> 00:33:58,769
And that's what I mean when I say

918
00:33:58,769 --> 00:34:01,515
safe and appropriate. Certain situations like that are

919
00:34:01,515 --> 00:34:03,214
are neither safe nor appropriate.

920
00:34:03,835 --> 00:34:05,994
And sometimes we'll get calls from family members

921
00:34:05,994 --> 00:34:07,674
who've who've come to town to visit their

922
00:34:07,674 --> 00:34:09,835
loved ones for a holiday or for a

923
00:34:09,835 --> 00:34:10,635
vacation, and,

924
00:34:11,514 --> 00:34:13,900
they've seen a a drastic decline

925
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,200
in in their ability to be able to

926
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,940
provide for themselves. And and that's a situation

927
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,840
where I would say it'd be a pretty

928
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,239
immediate need. And sometimes we have people coming

929
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,840
in, flying in for the weekend to visit

930
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,599
their family members, and then by the time

931
00:34:26,599 --> 00:34:29,215
they leave that weekend, they've already made the

932
00:34:29,215 --> 00:34:31,155
decision to move forward with the process.

933
00:34:31,534 --> 00:34:33,054
And that's really what we wanna try to

934
00:34:33,054 --> 00:34:34,574
do. If someone needs it to take a

935
00:34:34,574 --> 00:34:36,974
couple of days, then we wanna meet them

936
00:34:36,974 --> 00:34:38,655
in where where they're at with their sense

937
00:34:38,655 --> 00:34:40,094
of urgency, if they need a little bit

938
00:34:40,094 --> 00:34:42,300
of time to think about it, Sometimes to

939
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:44,300
answer questions and and go through the process,

940
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:46,219
then we want them to be able to

941
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:48,140
we wanna meet them where we can in

942
00:34:48,140 --> 00:34:50,960
the process. But in those immediate emergent situations,

943
00:34:51,019 --> 00:34:52,559
we really wanna try to

944
00:34:53,019 --> 00:34:54,619
go through the process and meet the need

945
00:34:54,619 --> 00:34:56,684
of the individuals just so they can be

946
00:34:57,085 --> 00:34:58,844
in a safe environment and just know that

947
00:34:58,844 --> 00:34:59,744
they're well protected.

948
00:35:00,364 --> 00:35:02,704
Is there such a thing as a,

949
00:35:03,244 --> 00:35:05,244
a court order or something like a court

950
00:35:05,244 --> 00:35:08,065
order that that people require to go?

951
00:35:10,309 --> 00:35:12,550
I have never heard of a court order

952
00:35:12,550 --> 00:35:14,869
to go into an assisted living room memory

953
00:35:14,869 --> 00:35:16,010
care. Have you, Tony?

954
00:35:17,670 --> 00:35:19,269
No. I I I don't believe those are

955
00:35:19,269 --> 00:35:21,554
the things that are done through court orders.

956
00:35:22,034 --> 00:35:23,875
They're, a I know. Court order was a

957
00:35:23,875 --> 00:35:25,155
bad term, but it was the best I

958
00:35:25,155 --> 00:35:27,234
could come up. Somebody being forced to live

959
00:35:27,234 --> 00:35:29,315
there, in other words. Yeah. I I I

960
00:35:29,315 --> 00:35:29,974
know that

961
00:35:30,434 --> 00:35:30,934
once

962
00:35:31,315 --> 00:35:32,295
it's been determined

963
00:35:32,675 --> 00:35:33,974
by a medical professional

964
00:35:34,829 --> 00:35:37,390
that an individual can no longer safely or

965
00:35:37,390 --> 00:35:39,550
appropriately live alone in their own home, there

966
00:35:39,550 --> 00:35:41,170
are a lot of decisions to make.

967
00:35:41,470 --> 00:35:42,130
But, realistically,

968
00:35:42,510 --> 00:35:45,070
the the resident themselves still has rights, whether

969
00:35:45,070 --> 00:35:46,364
the individual's living with

970
00:35:46,844 --> 00:35:50,065
dementia or or or or no cognitive decline.

971
00:35:51,085 --> 00:35:52,704
They're involved with their family

972
00:35:53,164 --> 00:35:55,244
and friends or loved ones, whomever they'd like

973
00:35:55,244 --> 00:35:57,244
to be in involved in the process. They

974
00:35:57,244 --> 00:36:00,150
can drive the decision making process. Or if

975
00:36:00,150 --> 00:36:02,630
an individual is living with cognitive decline, they'll

976
00:36:02,630 --> 00:36:03,530
have their guardian

977
00:36:03,909 --> 00:36:06,650
or the power of attorney or another individual

978
00:36:06,789 --> 00:36:09,429
assisting them with guiding them through the process,

979
00:36:09,429 --> 00:36:10,809
and they can ultimately

980
00:36:11,109 --> 00:36:11,609
make

981
00:36:12,069 --> 00:36:13,989
the final decision. But I know that once

982
00:36:13,989 --> 00:36:15,764
that determination has been made

983
00:36:16,244 --> 00:36:18,885
and, it it's been stated, the conversation has

984
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,304
been had with the individual and our families,

985
00:36:21,684 --> 00:36:23,144
that it's no longer safe

986
00:36:23,684 --> 00:36:25,764
and no longer appropriate to live at home,

987
00:36:25,764 --> 00:36:27,625
that's when there are a lot of decisions

988
00:36:27,684 --> 00:36:28,424
to be made.

989
00:36:29,380 --> 00:36:29,880
Yeah.

990
00:36:30,340 --> 00:36:31,780
I I wanna touch on that a little

991
00:36:31,780 --> 00:36:33,460
more, but, I wanna we do have a

992
00:36:33,460 --> 00:36:35,860
text come in. Thank you, Texer. And the

993
00:36:35,860 --> 00:36:36,760
question is,

994
00:36:37,139 --> 00:36:39,300
is there a limit on the percentage of

995
00:36:39,300 --> 00:36:42,199
Medicaid residents you are able to serve?

996
00:36:44,405 --> 00:36:46,324
I know at our communities, we try not

997
00:36:46,324 --> 00:36:47,625
to put any cap

998
00:36:48,005 --> 00:36:48,824
or percentages

999
00:36:49,445 --> 00:36:51,204
on the amount of residents we serve. I

1000
00:36:51,204 --> 00:36:53,464
know that that's a really good question. Unfortunately,

1001
00:36:53,925 --> 00:36:56,804
some communities may put a certain percentage or

1002
00:36:56,804 --> 00:36:58,779
a certain cap on the number of a

1003
00:36:58,779 --> 00:37:01,839
live individuals they're willing or able to serve

1004
00:37:01,900 --> 00:37:04,699
as it pertains to Medicaid residents. But like

1005
00:37:04,699 --> 00:37:07,099
I was saying before, we really do wanna

1006
00:37:07,099 --> 00:37:09,760
provide a home for any individual who qualifies

1007
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:10,880
for our services

1008
00:37:11,474 --> 00:37:13,474
and is a good fit for our community.

1009
00:37:13,474 --> 00:37:14,934
So whether they're a millionaire

1010
00:37:15,315 --> 00:37:17,555
or they're on this the state's Medicaid long

1011
00:37:17,555 --> 00:37:20,695
term care program, we, we don't differentiate between

1012
00:37:21,394 --> 00:37:23,394
payer types. Why did I think that was

1013
00:37:23,394 --> 00:37:24,869
gonna be the answer? I wonder.

1014
00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:29,750
Honestly honestly, it's just fantastic. I want I

1015
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:32,070
do wanna get back. I had a we

1016
00:37:32,070 --> 00:37:34,970
had an incident about with one of,

1017
00:37:35,349 --> 00:37:38,890
our neighbors that was found. She lived alone.

1018
00:37:39,885 --> 00:37:40,385
We

1019
00:37:41,005 --> 00:37:43,585
both felt she was having issues, and,

1020
00:37:44,445 --> 00:37:46,045
she got caught out on the road a

1021
00:37:46,045 --> 00:37:46,864
couple times.

1022
00:37:47,804 --> 00:37:50,284
She had a relative that we were able

1023
00:37:50,284 --> 00:37:52,765
to contact, but the relative didn't seem to

1024
00:37:52,765 --> 00:37:53,265
be

1025
00:37:54,539 --> 00:37:55,039
concerned?

1026
00:37:55,820 --> 00:37:56,539
At what point

1027
00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:58,559
I'm trying to think.

1028
00:37:58,940 --> 00:38:01,420
What would you all suggest to I mean,

1029
00:38:01,420 --> 00:38:03,180
do you call the police in a situation

1030
00:38:03,180 --> 00:38:05,500
like that where you feel this this person

1031
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:08,204
is in danger and you're going beyond the

1032
00:38:08,204 --> 00:38:08,704
family

1033
00:38:09,565 --> 00:38:11,885
to do? Have have you had any cases

1034
00:38:11,885 --> 00:38:12,625
like that?

1035
00:38:13,005 --> 00:38:16,385
Yes. Okay. Yes. We have. So in cases

1036
00:38:16,444 --> 00:38:17,184
like that,

1037
00:38:18,364 --> 00:38:20,860
I mean, of course, you definitely can call

1038
00:38:20,860 --> 00:38:22,860
the police, but what they're gonna do is

1039
00:38:22,860 --> 00:38:26,719
they have adult protective services. That's okay. That's

1040
00:38:26,940 --> 00:38:29,820
Adult protective services, we also work very close

1041
00:38:29,820 --> 00:38:32,059
with. We have a lot of seniors that

1042
00:38:32,059 --> 00:38:32,719
are in

1043
00:38:33,179 --> 00:38:34,639
incredibly bad situations

1044
00:38:35,505 --> 00:38:37,505
that we work with APS to get them

1045
00:38:37,505 --> 00:38:39,184
out of and get them moved into our

1046
00:38:39,184 --> 00:38:39,924
home, whether,

1047
00:38:41,184 --> 00:38:44,144
it I mean, there's so many different kinds

1048
00:38:44,144 --> 00:38:47,444
of cases that we have seen and experienced,

1049
00:38:47,904 --> 00:38:48,404
and,

1050
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,659
not all

1051
00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:54,179
are great experiences for them. Unfortunately,

1052
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,639
we're a lot of them, we are getting

1053
00:38:56,639 --> 00:38:59,380
them out of some very, very bad scenarios,

1054
00:38:59,519 --> 00:39:01,619
especially with Alzheimer's and dementia.

1055
00:39:02,644 --> 00:39:05,684
And with working with APS, they are so

1056
00:39:05,684 --> 00:39:06,984
incredible. The

1057
00:39:07,284 --> 00:39:10,085
case the case managers with DHS and all

1058
00:39:10,085 --> 00:39:11,144
of the investigators

1059
00:39:11,445 --> 00:39:12,984
with APS, they

1060
00:39:13,525 --> 00:39:15,684
they really put their heart and soul into

1061
00:39:15,684 --> 00:39:18,190
their work. And so then they contact me

1062
00:39:18,190 --> 00:39:20,289
immediately, and then they work with

1063
00:39:20,670 --> 00:39:22,910
the individual. They work with me. They work

1064
00:39:22,910 --> 00:39:24,369
with Tony, the administrator,

1065
00:39:24,829 --> 00:39:26,910
or one of the other administrators at the

1066
00:39:26,910 --> 00:39:28,910
buildings, and we just do whatever we can

1067
00:39:28,910 --> 00:39:31,090
to assist to the best of our ability.

1068
00:39:33,025 --> 00:39:34,005
And not to

1069
00:39:35,105 --> 00:39:37,505
go too negative, but I can only assume

1070
00:39:37,505 --> 00:39:39,664
too that there's some some battles that you

1071
00:39:39,664 --> 00:39:41,585
guys must have had with family members and

1072
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,639
Yeah. You know? I mean, not all family

1073
00:39:46,639 --> 00:39:48,880
dynamics are great. No. We I think we

1074
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,280
all know that. Wow. I I I never

1075
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,480
even thought of that. What a Awesome. But

1076
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,984
but you you you all are such advocates

1077
00:39:56,984 --> 00:39:59,144
for these people, the people in need. And

1078
00:39:59,144 --> 00:40:01,784
I I I know you, you know, fight

1079
00:40:01,784 --> 00:40:04,184
that fight that battle pretty hard. We are

1080
00:40:04,184 --> 00:40:05,644
advocates for our residents,

1081
00:40:06,025 --> 00:40:09,819
and we will always continue to be. And

1082
00:40:09,819 --> 00:40:11,519
usually, it just takes a conversation.

1083
00:40:12,299 --> 00:40:14,380
It just takes a conversation with a loved

1084
00:40:14,380 --> 00:40:15,199
one to

1085
00:40:15,739 --> 00:40:16,719
really explain

1086
00:40:17,019 --> 00:40:17,519
the

1087
00:40:17,980 --> 00:40:21,019
situation at hand. What if it's a a

1088
00:40:21,019 --> 00:40:23,420
very bad situation that they're in, we just

1089
00:40:23,420 --> 00:40:25,135
need to explain it. There's a lot of

1090
00:40:25,135 --> 00:40:25,635
misconceptions

1091
00:40:26,894 --> 00:40:29,394
about assisted living and memory care communities,

1092
00:40:30,494 --> 00:40:32,574
especially with a lot of the generation that

1093
00:40:32,574 --> 00:40:35,054
I work with now. I mean, they have

1094
00:40:35,054 --> 00:40:36,894
it in their in their mind. I can't

1095
00:40:36,894 --> 00:40:39,054
tell you how many home visits I have

1096
00:40:39,054 --> 00:40:39,554
made

1097
00:40:39,940 --> 00:40:42,260
to explain that we're not a convalescent home.

1098
00:40:42,260 --> 00:40:44,099
The horror stories that you've heard in the

1099
00:40:44,099 --> 00:40:45,320
past, it's not

1100
00:40:45,940 --> 00:40:46,679
it's not

1101
00:40:47,140 --> 00:40:51,539
realistic now. We are assisted living communities, and

1102
00:40:51,539 --> 00:40:53,875
we want you to have the best quality

1103
00:40:53,875 --> 00:40:55,715
of life that you can while you're here

1104
00:40:55,715 --> 00:40:56,375
with us.

1105
00:40:56,914 --> 00:40:58,434
And we'll do whatever we can to make

1106
00:40:58,434 --> 00:41:00,355
that. Yeah. Yeah. I think we can feel

1107
00:41:00,355 --> 00:41:01,815
that, what's going on.

1108
00:41:02,434 --> 00:41:04,755
I know. I understand that, a lot of

1109
00:41:04,755 --> 00:41:06,135
times people when they're,

1110
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:08,579
in dementia get very violent at times. So

1111
00:41:08,579 --> 00:41:10,440
you can you take people like that?

1112
00:41:11,059 --> 00:41:12,920
That get very violent? Yeah.

1113
00:41:13,780 --> 00:41:15,380
Tod, do you wanna take this one on

1114
00:41:15,380 --> 00:41:16,839
the clinical side?

1115
00:41:18,394 --> 00:41:19,214
I know. We

1116
00:41:19,514 --> 00:41:21,614
never want to decline anyone,

1117
00:41:22,875 --> 00:41:23,775
based on

1118
00:41:24,954 --> 00:41:26,894
what we prefer to do is,

1119
00:41:28,394 --> 00:41:29,214
not automatically

1120
00:41:29,514 --> 00:41:30,894
decline any individual.

1121
00:41:31,260 --> 00:41:33,179
We wanna take a look at every scenario

1122
00:41:33,179 --> 00:41:34,800
on a case by case basis.

1123
00:41:35,420 --> 00:41:38,800
Sometimes the reason for violent outbursts and behaviors

1124
00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:41,659
can be, it can be as simple as

1125
00:41:41,659 --> 00:41:43,739
a change in environment. Sometimes it can be,

1126
00:41:44,059 --> 00:41:45,119
a change in medications.

1127
00:41:45,905 --> 00:41:48,144
Sometime it can be Yes, ma'am. Bringing in

1128
00:41:48,144 --> 00:41:50,625
other community providers. We really wanna take a

1129
00:41:50,625 --> 00:41:53,204
look at each person as an individual,

1130
00:41:54,065 --> 00:41:56,464
trying to bring in an approach from the

1131
00:41:56,464 --> 00:41:59,364
assessment, the care planning process, friends, family,

1132
00:42:00,069 --> 00:42:00,569
providers,

1133
00:42:02,230 --> 00:42:04,969
medication services, just to be able to see.

1134
00:42:05,190 --> 00:42:06,869
And we really do try to make a

1135
00:42:06,869 --> 00:42:09,030
final determination that's the best fit for the

1136
00:42:09,030 --> 00:42:10,869
community, the safety of the staff and the

1137
00:42:10,869 --> 00:42:11,369
residents,

1138
00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:14,150
and then also for the potential resident as

1139
00:42:14,150 --> 00:42:14,650
well.

1140
00:42:15,114 --> 00:42:17,835
We, we leave no stone unturned before we

1141
00:42:17,835 --> 00:42:20,394
ever make a decision to select or decline

1142
00:42:20,394 --> 00:42:22,555
someone. And I'd say if anything, as a

1143
00:42:22,555 --> 00:42:24,075
general rule, we try not to,

1144
00:42:25,594 --> 00:42:26,655
do a automatic

1145
00:42:27,130 --> 00:42:30,109
decline on individuals just based on certain circumstances

1146
00:42:30,409 --> 00:42:31,469
without taking that

1147
00:42:31,769 --> 00:42:34,969
real holistic approach and and looking into it

1148
00:42:34,969 --> 00:42:36,109
a little bit further.

1149
00:42:36,650 --> 00:42:37,369
But I know,

1150
00:42:37,849 --> 00:42:39,869
that we really do serve

1151
00:42:40,244 --> 00:42:42,565
all different types of individuals in memory care.

1152
00:42:42,565 --> 00:42:43,704
There's a lot of different

1153
00:42:44,565 --> 00:42:45,864
parts of the disease

1154
00:42:46,324 --> 00:42:49,045
and the progression of of the illness, and

1155
00:42:49,045 --> 00:42:51,384
some some are, negative.

1156
00:42:52,269 --> 00:42:54,269
Many, I'd say, excuse me, all all of

1157
00:42:54,269 --> 00:42:56,349
them are negative, but some of them manifest

1158
00:42:56,349 --> 00:42:57,410
themselves negatively

1159
00:42:57,869 --> 00:42:59,309
in in that regard, and we like to

1160
00:42:59,309 --> 00:43:01,070
take a look at those individuals on a

1161
00:43:01,070 --> 00:43:03,250
case by case basis. Mhmm. Yeah.

1162
00:43:03,869 --> 00:43:06,930
You've impressed me today with, with your attitudes

1163
00:43:07,070 --> 00:43:07,970
about actually

1164
00:43:08,405 --> 00:43:09,925
being interested in in,

1165
00:43:11,045 --> 00:43:12,585
in helping people. I

1166
00:43:13,925 --> 00:43:15,525
I've never given a real lot lot of

1167
00:43:15,525 --> 00:43:16,964
thought, but I always thought that, you know,

1168
00:43:16,964 --> 00:43:19,085
we come with drop I have grandma around.

1169
00:43:19,284 --> 00:43:21,525
Visit her once a week, and she makes

1170
00:43:21,525 --> 00:43:23,909
it. She makes it. But do people really

1171
00:43:23,909 --> 00:43:25,909
seem to care about Yeah. You providing a

1172
00:43:25,909 --> 00:43:28,809
quality of life for your residents? We definitely

1173
00:43:28,869 --> 00:43:31,289
do. Right. That's what we're here for.

1174
00:43:31,989 --> 00:43:34,250
Boy, that's just it it really is wonderful.

1175
00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:37,264
And speaking of wonderful, I'll go touch we

1176
00:43:37,264 --> 00:43:39,204
talked about a little bit the entertainment

1177
00:43:39,505 --> 00:43:42,464
that local people have come around and Yes.

1178
00:43:42,704 --> 00:43:43,204
And

1179
00:43:43,505 --> 00:43:45,585
one of our friends at the station, I

1180
00:43:45,585 --> 00:43:48,430
hope he's out there listening, Bobby Joe Holman.

1181
00:43:48,730 --> 00:43:49,950
Thank you, Bobby Joe.

1182
00:43:50,489 --> 00:43:52,590
I I saw the little thing on Facebook.

1183
00:43:52,809 --> 00:43:53,630
It went and

1184
00:43:54,329 --> 00:43:56,970
gave his performance and had the people up

1185
00:43:56,970 --> 00:43:59,630
and moving and dancing. And and you get

1186
00:43:59,769 --> 00:44:01,844
a lot of local people to do that.

1187
00:44:02,005 --> 00:44:03,784
We definitely do from,

1188
00:44:04,644 --> 00:44:05,465
live music

1189
00:44:05,844 --> 00:44:05,925
to

1190
00:44:07,844 --> 00:44:09,764
I mean, we had Bruce Ellis come and

1191
00:44:09,764 --> 00:44:11,625
do his comedy skit.

1192
00:44:11,925 --> 00:44:14,565
Really? Yeah. We did that a a few

1193
00:44:14,565 --> 00:44:16,105
weeks ago. We

1194
00:44:16,750 --> 00:44:18,210
do all kinds of events,

1195
00:44:19,150 --> 00:44:21,550
resident events. We do a resident birthday party

1196
00:44:21,550 --> 00:44:23,469
each month. We want to acknowledge all of

1197
00:44:23,469 --> 00:44:25,230
the residents, not just on their birthday, but

1198
00:44:25,230 --> 00:44:27,250
we wanna celebrate with all of them together.

1199
00:44:27,390 --> 00:44:28,210
Oh, boy.

1200
00:44:28,750 --> 00:44:29,250
Holidays.

1201
00:44:29,550 --> 00:44:32,264
We just did our Valentine's Day brunch

1202
00:44:33,065 --> 00:44:35,704
last week, which was amazing. And it's giving

1203
00:44:35,704 --> 00:44:38,344
that opportunity for the families to come in

1204
00:44:38,344 --> 00:44:41,005
and spend those holidays with their loved ones

1205
00:44:41,464 --> 00:44:43,644
even if they can't take them home. Yeah.

1206
00:44:44,424 --> 00:44:44,909
Now,

1207
00:44:45,469 --> 00:44:48,269
now you did say occasionally then there are

1208
00:44:48,269 --> 00:44:50,449
people that you might have to

1209
00:44:51,150 --> 00:44:53,710
not accept once in a great while. That

1210
00:44:53,710 --> 00:44:56,929
does happen. It does happen. If they are

1211
00:44:58,585 --> 00:45:00,285
a too high a level of care.

1212
00:45:01,465 --> 00:45:03,465
And did you wanna get into this one,

1213
00:45:03,465 --> 00:45:04,905
Tony, or would you like me to

1214
00:45:06,744 --> 00:45:08,525
Yeah. What I can say is that

1215
00:45:09,065 --> 00:45:10,364
there we're all licensed

1216
00:45:10,710 --> 00:45:12,549
communities through the state of Oregon. There are

1217
00:45:12,549 --> 00:45:14,789
a couple of different types of community based

1218
00:45:14,789 --> 00:45:15,609
care settings,

1219
00:45:16,070 --> 00:45:18,230
and it all really depends on what the

1220
00:45:18,230 --> 00:45:19,849
best fit is for the individual

1221
00:45:20,550 --> 00:45:23,609
within the licensing ability of the community.

1222
00:45:24,375 --> 00:45:27,094
So assisted living and memory care are very

1223
00:45:27,094 --> 00:45:29,355
similar. One of the only real differentiating

1224
00:45:29,655 --> 00:45:31,574
factors would be is if someone had a

1225
00:45:31,574 --> 00:45:33,514
diagnosis of Alzheimer's or dementia,

1226
00:45:34,215 --> 00:45:36,235
and it was no longer safe or appropriate

1227
00:45:36,295 --> 00:45:38,429
to them to live at home, and they

1228
00:45:38,429 --> 00:45:40,429
would need to live in a secured memory

1229
00:45:40,429 --> 00:45:41,250
care community.

1230
00:45:42,190 --> 00:45:44,050
I would say that a lot of individuals

1231
00:45:44,190 --> 00:45:46,589
fit that description, but if someone's care needs

1232
00:45:46,589 --> 00:45:47,650
were so significant

1233
00:45:48,589 --> 00:45:49,730
or or so intense

1234
00:45:50,224 --> 00:45:52,784
that they required a skilled nursing facility, then

1235
00:45:52,784 --> 00:45:55,105
that may be a more appropriate type of

1236
00:45:55,105 --> 00:45:57,605
care. Right. They also have behavioral

1237
00:45:57,905 --> 00:45:58,405
type

1238
00:45:58,945 --> 00:46:00,885
facilities for individuals who

1239
00:46:01,184 --> 00:46:02,485
continue to demonstrate

1240
00:46:03,344 --> 00:46:03,844
violent

1241
00:46:04,489 --> 00:46:08,489
behaviors towards other individuals. There's multiple facilities available

1242
00:46:08,489 --> 00:46:10,190
like that in the state of Oregon.

1243
00:46:10,809 --> 00:46:12,829
But the community based care types,

1244
00:46:13,530 --> 00:46:16,109
they really range between assisted livings,

1245
00:46:17,184 --> 00:46:20,385
memory cares, and skilled nursing facilities. In order

1246
00:46:20,385 --> 00:46:23,184
to qualify for a skilled nursing facility, you

1247
00:46:23,184 --> 00:46:25,764
have to have some pretty significant needs,

1248
00:46:26,144 --> 00:46:28,065
and, that that would be the higher the

1249
00:46:28,065 --> 00:46:30,304
higher level of care above a memory care

1250
00:46:30,304 --> 00:46:31,525
or an assisted living.

1251
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:32,619
Yeah. So,

1252
00:46:33,559 --> 00:46:34,059
like

1253
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,800
feeding tubes, for example. Oh, yeah. Feeding tubes

1254
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,280
or or something along those lines that would

1255
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,079
require skilled nursing. That's just something that we're

1256
00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:43,820
not qualified

1257
00:46:44,119 --> 00:46:44,619
for.

1258
00:46:45,224 --> 00:46:46,664
Do you take people to dial

1259
00:46:46,985 --> 00:46:47,724
not dialysis,

1260
00:46:50,425 --> 00:46:50,925
therapy?

1261
00:46:51,465 --> 00:46:52,525
We have. Yes.

1262
00:46:54,345 --> 00:46:56,985
We we have I've yes. Carson City is

1263
00:46:56,985 --> 00:46:58,364
the closest place I understand.

1264
00:47:00,070 --> 00:47:02,010
As far as I'm aware, yeah. Yeah.

1265
00:47:03,349 --> 00:47:06,309
That is and that's there's another question about,

1266
00:47:07,109 --> 00:47:08,969
we all have to go for

1267
00:47:09,510 --> 00:47:10,150
our medical

1268
00:47:10,869 --> 00:47:12,724
our warm medical needs. Like, I travel to

1269
00:47:12,724 --> 00:47:14,085
Eureka, some travel to Grans Pass Right.

1270
00:47:14,885 --> 00:47:15,385
Medford.

1271
00:47:16,164 --> 00:47:17,704
What about if your,

1272
00:47:18,244 --> 00:47:20,805
one of your residents needs that? Does does

1273
00:47:20,805 --> 00:47:22,985
the family take them up there?

1274
00:47:23,329 --> 00:47:25,650
Or there? If the family wants to take

1275
00:47:25,650 --> 00:47:26,869
them, then absolutely.

1276
00:47:27,409 --> 00:47:29,570
And if they can't But if they cannot

1277
00:47:29,570 --> 00:47:32,530
take them, then we have our a bus

1278
00:47:32,530 --> 00:47:33,829
at all three communities,

1279
00:47:34,210 --> 00:47:36,864
and we are able to provide transportation. We

1280
00:47:36,864 --> 00:47:39,105
send a caregiver with them or a resident

1281
00:47:39,105 --> 00:47:39,924
care coordinator,

1282
00:47:40,545 --> 00:47:42,224
and they go to the appointments with our

1283
00:47:42,224 --> 00:47:44,944
residents. So then we know exactly how to

1284
00:47:44,944 --> 00:47:47,125
accommodate their care after their appointment.

1285
00:47:48,784 --> 00:47:50,944
Can't ask for much more than that, can

1286
00:47:50,944 --> 00:47:53,579
you? Wow. I already have my room picked

1287
00:47:53,579 --> 00:47:54,079
out.

1288
00:47:57,099 --> 00:47:57,599
Wow.

1289
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:01,739
And well, back and then the other thing

1290
00:48:01,739 --> 00:48:03,019
we were talking about, you

1291
00:48:03,695 --> 00:48:05,695
and this is for even seniors not that

1292
00:48:05,695 --> 00:48:07,855
need that much care. The you've got some

1293
00:48:07,855 --> 00:48:10,835
high school kids that were are helping seniors

1294
00:48:11,534 --> 00:48:14,835
navigate the and probably the your residents too.

1295
00:48:15,375 --> 00:48:18,059
I'm assuming some of your residents are computer

1296
00:48:18,059 --> 00:48:20,960
savvy and and Some of them are. Yes.

1297
00:48:21,099 --> 00:48:22,700
Probably more than me. But,

1298
00:48:23,500 --> 00:48:27,360
So Beacon Broadband actually does the connected senior

1299
00:48:27,420 --> 00:48:28,619
program. And,

1300
00:48:29,099 --> 00:48:30,000
Trish Iverson,

1301
00:48:30,460 --> 00:48:31,200
they are

1302
00:48:31,795 --> 00:48:34,855
all absolutely incredible. But we did an event,

1303
00:48:35,394 --> 00:48:36,215
last year

1304
00:48:36,594 --> 00:48:39,554
on tech savvy seniors where we had seniors

1305
00:48:39,554 --> 00:48:41,394
from the high school come in and assist

1306
00:48:41,394 --> 00:48:43,474
some of the seniors at our communities with

1307
00:48:43,474 --> 00:48:43,974
technology

1308
00:48:44,355 --> 00:48:45,574
Yeah. Which is amazing.

1309
00:48:45,875 --> 00:48:46,375
Yeah.

1310
00:48:47,010 --> 00:48:48,769
When you said tech savvy seniors, I was

1311
00:48:48,769 --> 00:48:51,510
thinking our brand of seniors, but that

1312
00:48:51,889 --> 00:48:54,610
it's a contradiction in terms. It's seniors helping

1313
00:48:54,610 --> 00:48:56,690
seniors. Got it. I gotta figure out how

1314
00:48:56,690 --> 00:48:57,190
to

1315
00:48:58,130 --> 00:48:59,909
operate the remote on my television.

1316
00:49:00,644 --> 00:49:03,125
I have three different remotes and sometimes it

1317
00:49:03,125 --> 00:49:04,965
works and sometimes it doesn't. I got rid

1318
00:49:04,965 --> 00:49:06,485
of my television. That's how I dealt with

1319
00:49:06,485 --> 00:49:08,105
it. Probably be a smart move.

1320
00:49:08,565 --> 00:49:09,065
Gosh.

1321
00:49:09,605 --> 00:49:10,105
Wow.

1322
00:49:11,684 --> 00:49:12,905
Well, I tell you,

1323
00:49:13,445 --> 00:49:14,664
it's just it's overwhelming

1324
00:49:15,369 --> 00:49:17,369
the good feelings that I have that that

1325
00:49:17,369 --> 00:49:19,869
you and Tony and others, the

1326
00:49:20,329 --> 00:49:20,829
staff

1327
00:49:21,769 --> 00:49:24,989
deal with. Oh, thank you. Really. It's

1328
00:49:25,289 --> 00:49:25,869
it's wonderful.

1329
00:49:26,329 --> 00:49:28,570
Now are there other well, I was gonna

1330
00:49:28,570 --> 00:49:31,295
say volunteers to help out. Do you want

1331
00:49:31,295 --> 00:49:33,614
volunteers to do different things? And I think

1332
00:49:33,614 --> 00:49:36,255
of what Bobby Joe did and and Bruce,

1333
00:49:36,255 --> 00:49:39,375
that's kind of volunteering with them. We love

1334
00:49:39,375 --> 00:49:40,595
working with the community.

1335
00:49:41,055 --> 00:49:41,555
Yeah.

1336
00:49:42,255 --> 00:49:44,335
We we work with all kinds of members

1337
00:49:44,335 --> 00:49:45,155
of the community,

1338
00:49:46,530 --> 00:49:49,269
from live music to hosting

1339
00:49:49,809 --> 00:49:50,309
educational

1340
00:49:50,610 --> 00:49:52,070
events each month.

1341
00:49:54,449 --> 00:49:57,410
Yeah. Yes. The Wild Rivers Film Festival, of

1342
00:49:57,410 --> 00:49:59,809
course, comes in and does screenings for Thank

1343
00:49:59,809 --> 00:50:00,309
you.

1344
00:50:00,714 --> 00:50:02,974
You work pretty close with Wild Rivers.

1345
00:50:03,275 --> 00:50:04,954
I am actually on the board of the

1346
00:50:04,954 --> 00:50:07,694
Wild Rivers Film Festival as well. That's

1347
00:50:08,635 --> 00:50:11,135
Sarah has a quite busy schedule. Yes.

1348
00:50:11,675 --> 00:50:14,074
I sure do. That's great. But we're very

1349
00:50:14,074 --> 00:50:16,590
grateful to be able to partner with people

1350
00:50:16,590 --> 00:50:18,530
like the Wild Rivers Film Festival

1351
00:50:19,070 --> 00:50:21,390
and coming in and providing that for our

1352
00:50:21,390 --> 00:50:23,789
residents and making them feel special and getting

1353
00:50:23,789 --> 00:50:25,489
to see these screenings firsthand.

1354
00:50:25,869 --> 00:50:26,369
Yeah.

1355
00:50:26,829 --> 00:50:27,329
Yeah.

1356
00:50:28,684 --> 00:50:29,344
You know,

1357
00:50:29,644 --> 00:50:29,804
can you

1358
00:50:31,244 --> 00:50:32,625
you talked about other

1359
00:50:33,005 --> 00:50:33,484
other,

1360
00:50:34,204 --> 00:50:34,704
facilities,

1361
00:50:35,724 --> 00:50:37,565
not only the ones that you deal with

1362
00:50:37,565 --> 00:50:38,065
here,

1363
00:50:38,445 --> 00:50:38,945
but

1364
00:50:39,324 --> 00:50:41,025
it could would you recommend

1365
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:43,920
somebody to say go to if you knew

1366
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,760
a facility that would suit them better in

1367
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,099
Portland or I'll say Roseburg

1368
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:49,380
where Tony

1369
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,780
is, have you done that also?

1370
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:52,960
I have

1371
00:50:53,525 --> 00:50:57,045
I mean, each resident or each prospect that

1372
00:50:57,045 --> 00:50:59,945
I come across, each each everybody is different.

1373
00:51:00,085 --> 00:51:02,485
Sure. So depending on their wants and their

1374
00:51:02,485 --> 00:51:05,605
needs, I always encourage them to check out

1375
00:51:05,605 --> 00:51:07,305
everywhere so you can find

1376
00:51:08,010 --> 00:51:10,590
where really fits you best. Okay.

1377
00:51:11,530 --> 00:51:14,090
So, on a personal question, I guess, how

1378
00:51:14,090 --> 00:51:15,550
did you get into this business?

1379
00:51:16,090 --> 00:51:17,230
So I actually

1380
00:51:17,769 --> 00:51:20,090
I was an in home caregiver back in

1381
00:51:20,090 --> 00:51:20,590
Redding,

1382
00:51:21,050 --> 00:51:22,269
kind of part time.

1383
00:51:23,385 --> 00:51:26,285
And then I moved over to Crescent City

1384
00:51:26,425 --> 00:51:28,425
with my husband to help take care of

1385
00:51:28,425 --> 00:51:29,085
my mother-in-law.

1386
00:51:29,945 --> 00:51:32,344
And in doing that, I wasn't working at

1387
00:51:32,344 --> 00:51:33,785
the time. It was right in the middle

1388
00:51:33,785 --> 00:51:34,525
of COVID.

1389
00:51:35,150 --> 00:51:37,090
And my friend was the administrator

1390
00:51:37,390 --> 00:51:40,210
at Shore Pines Senior Living, and she needed

1391
00:51:40,829 --> 00:51:42,450
some help really bad with caregiving.

1392
00:51:43,390 --> 00:51:46,190
And so I decided, okay. I'll go ahead

1393
00:51:46,190 --> 00:51:47,550
and help you out. And I made the

1394
00:51:47,550 --> 00:51:49,605
commute from Crescent City up to Gold Beach

1395
00:51:49,605 --> 00:51:51,465
to Shore Pines, and I was a caregiver

1396
00:51:51,525 --> 00:51:52,184
up there.

1397
00:51:53,204 --> 00:51:55,065
I then moved into

1398
00:51:55,364 --> 00:51:57,545
the resident care coordinator role,

1399
00:51:58,005 --> 00:51:58,505
which

1400
00:51:58,885 --> 00:52:00,005
oversees the,

1401
00:52:00,405 --> 00:52:02,664
medication technicians and the caregivers

1402
00:52:02,965 --> 00:52:03,465
and

1403
00:52:04,059 --> 00:52:06,460
makes the schedules and builds the care plans

1404
00:52:06,460 --> 00:52:08,299
and kind of oversees all of the care

1405
00:52:08,299 --> 00:52:10,719
for our residents. So you have people that

1406
00:52:11,019 --> 00:52:12,880
administer or bring meds around?

1407
00:52:13,339 --> 00:52:15,359
Yes. We administer medications.

1408
00:52:15,739 --> 00:52:17,980
So is this The individual is assessed to

1409
00:52:17,980 --> 00:52:18,960
do them themselves.

1410
00:52:19,425 --> 00:52:20,965
Is is this, is this a

1411
00:52:21,345 --> 00:52:22,565
I wanna say a thing.

1412
00:52:24,704 --> 00:52:26,625
An an example, I recently found out that

1413
00:52:26,625 --> 00:52:28,545
the person that draws your blood when you

1414
00:52:28,545 --> 00:52:29,204
go into,

1415
00:52:29,824 --> 00:52:30,945
the hospital is

1416
00:52:31,519 --> 00:52:33,699
that's that's a job. That's a phlebotomist?

1417
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,000
Yes. Yeah. And I had no idea that

1418
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,440
that was the case. But it's so is

1419
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,300
this person that administers drugs,

1420
00:52:39,679 --> 00:52:41,280
same type of thing? Yep. We call them

1421
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,519
a med tech. Our med techs are the

1422
00:52:43,519 --> 00:52:46,339
ones that administer the medications to the residents.

1423
00:52:47,364 --> 00:52:48,105
Boy, that

1424
00:52:48,565 --> 00:52:51,285
that alone, I remember dealing with my mom

1425
00:52:51,285 --> 00:52:52,965
at the boarding care and the amount of

1426
00:52:52,965 --> 00:52:53,465
medications.

1427
00:52:53,844 --> 00:52:56,164
Well, heck, and I'm I gotta watch my

1428
00:52:56,164 --> 00:52:56,664
two

1429
00:52:57,125 --> 00:52:58,505
separating her, but that's

1430
00:52:58,805 --> 00:53:01,550
that's a big job. Yes. To try to

1431
00:53:01,550 --> 00:53:04,750
cover one person covering everybody in the in

1432
00:53:04,750 --> 00:53:05,409
the facility

1433
00:53:05,949 --> 00:53:06,690
pretty much.

1434
00:53:07,230 --> 00:53:08,989
Tony, do can you,

1435
00:53:09,390 --> 00:53:10,690
chime in on this one?

1436
00:53:11,949 --> 00:53:14,050
Yeah. I know, depending on the community

1437
00:53:14,514 --> 00:53:17,394
and depending on the acuity levels of the

1438
00:53:17,394 --> 00:53:18,375
current residents,

1439
00:53:18,994 --> 00:53:21,074
that will determine and how many meds are

1440
00:53:21,074 --> 00:53:24,454
being passed, that really determines how many medication

1441
00:53:24,675 --> 00:53:27,069
technicians we have on each shift. In a

1442
00:53:27,069 --> 00:53:29,710
typical situation, it would be two depending on

1443
00:53:29,710 --> 00:53:31,630
the size of a building for us, larger

1444
00:53:31,630 --> 00:53:34,530
sized building for a smaller sized community.

1445
00:53:35,549 --> 00:53:37,389
Depending on the amount of meds, there could

1446
00:53:37,389 --> 00:53:39,965
be one medication aid on the shift, but

1447
00:53:39,965 --> 00:53:42,364
it truly does depend on the number of

1448
00:53:42,364 --> 00:53:44,785
residents, the size of the community, and

1449
00:53:45,244 --> 00:53:47,324
the acuity of the residents, which is just

1450
00:53:47,324 --> 00:53:49,085
a really fancy way of saying how much

1451
00:53:49,085 --> 00:53:51,344
care each resident needs collectively.

1452
00:53:51,750 --> 00:53:54,409
Or if there's, like, a complex medication regimen

1453
00:53:54,550 --> 00:53:55,769
or if we have diabetics,

1454
00:53:56,710 --> 00:53:58,010
that require insulin.

1455
00:53:58,789 --> 00:54:01,030
It all kind of goes hand in hand

1456
00:54:01,030 --> 00:54:03,210
with how many med techs we have on.

1457
00:54:03,349 --> 00:54:03,764
Okay.

1458
00:54:04,404 --> 00:54:06,885
But and also there are some residents depending

1459
00:54:06,885 --> 00:54:08,804
on the level that they can administer their

1460
00:54:08,804 --> 00:54:11,444
own meds? Absolutely. We always encourage them to

1461
00:54:11,444 --> 00:54:12,264
be as independent

1462
00:54:12,804 --> 00:54:15,364
as possible until they're not able to. Yeah.

1463
00:54:15,364 --> 00:54:17,625
And then that's whenever we step in and

1464
00:54:17,989 --> 00:54:19,829
keep up to date on their care. I

1465
00:54:19,829 --> 00:54:21,130
would be faking it.

1466
00:54:21,909 --> 00:54:23,929
Oh, right. No. I can't do that.

1467
00:54:26,389 --> 00:54:28,069
You end up with another breakfast in here.

1468
00:54:28,069 --> 00:54:29,429
I can't make it to the dining room.

1469
00:54:29,429 --> 00:54:31,449
You'd be a little on the needy side

1470
00:54:31,670 --> 00:54:31,965
telling

1471
00:54:33,005 --> 00:54:34,445
That's okay. We have to be It'd be

1472
00:54:34,445 --> 00:54:36,925
the lazy side. I grew up getting away

1473
00:54:36,925 --> 00:54:37,664
with stuff.

1474
00:54:39,005 --> 00:54:40,765
You press the pendant and our care staff

1475
00:54:40,765 --> 00:54:41,664
will come running.

1476
00:54:41,965 --> 00:54:42,465
Okay.

1477
00:54:43,980 --> 00:54:45,739
Well, we are kinda running. We got a

1478
00:54:45,739 --> 00:54:49,019
little less than five minutes left, and, we

1479
00:54:49,019 --> 00:54:51,340
had a little background for Sarah. Tony, what

1480
00:54:51,340 --> 00:54:53,099
about you? How how did you get into

1481
00:54:53,099 --> 00:54:53,920
all of this?

1482
00:54:55,900 --> 00:54:57,974
I know that I've always felt that I've

1483
00:54:57,974 --> 00:54:59,195
been called to lead.

1484
00:54:59,494 --> 00:55:00,795
I've been called to serve,

1485
00:55:01,255 --> 00:55:03,095
and I really was just looking for the

1486
00:55:03,095 --> 00:55:05,675
type the right type of career or environment

1487
00:55:05,735 --> 00:55:07,755
where I'd be able to accomplish both. And

1488
00:55:07,815 --> 00:55:09,414
I know that that's what led me into

1489
00:55:09,414 --> 00:55:10,795
the senior living industry,

1490
00:55:11,309 --> 00:55:13,230
An opportunity to be able to get into

1491
00:55:13,230 --> 00:55:15,410
a management position and lead others,

1492
00:55:16,110 --> 00:55:18,369
but while also at the same time serving

1493
00:55:18,430 --> 00:55:18,930
individuals,

1494
00:55:19,630 --> 00:55:21,650
vulnerable individuals of a population,

1495
00:55:22,030 --> 00:55:22,530
aged

1496
00:55:22,910 --> 00:55:24,210
and disabled population.

1497
00:55:24,965 --> 00:55:27,284
If anything, it just it really does. It

1498
00:55:27,284 --> 00:55:29,684
it meets both of those two things that

1499
00:55:29,684 --> 00:55:31,625
I feel like I'm driven and most passionate

1500
00:55:31,684 --> 00:55:34,644
about is serving other individuals and leading others.

1501
00:55:34,644 --> 00:55:37,329
And I'd say senior living in in it

1502
00:55:37,449 --> 00:55:39,449
in and of itself is just a perfect

1503
00:55:39,449 --> 00:55:40,969
environment to be able to,

1504
00:55:41,690 --> 00:55:44,489
fulfill both of those career goals or aspirations

1505
00:55:44,489 --> 00:55:45,710
that I've had for myself.

1506
00:55:47,289 --> 00:55:47,789
Well,

1507
00:55:48,570 --> 00:55:50,410
it's good to know that both you and

1508
00:55:50,410 --> 00:55:51,405
Sarah are,

1509
00:55:51,885 --> 00:55:54,125
I would say, in charge of the seniors

1510
00:55:54,125 --> 00:55:55,905
here in this in this area.

1511
00:55:56,765 --> 00:55:59,085
I'm telling you, man, I it's I've sensed

1512
00:55:59,085 --> 00:56:01,405
just so much compassion about what you both

1513
00:56:01,405 --> 00:56:03,405
do. You really fall in love with the

1514
00:56:03,405 --> 00:56:04,230
end well,

1515
00:56:05,030 --> 00:56:06,949
I really fell in love with the industry

1516
00:56:06,949 --> 00:56:08,570
whenever I became a caregiver

1517
00:56:09,030 --> 00:56:11,369
up at Shore Pines. That's kind of what

1518
00:56:11,670 --> 00:56:13,829
trickled the effect. I was the administrator up

1519
00:56:13,829 --> 00:56:15,690
there for a little bit, and then I

1520
00:56:15,829 --> 00:56:18,789
got offered the regional sales and marketing director

1521
00:56:18,789 --> 00:56:19,574
role. And,

1522
00:56:20,614 --> 00:56:23,114
it's definite I finally found my niche.

1523
00:56:23,655 --> 00:56:24,554
That's good.

1524
00:56:25,414 --> 00:56:27,835
I'm still looking for mine even in retirement.

1525
00:56:27,894 --> 00:56:29,914
Oh, I think you're doing great, Rick.

1526
00:56:31,655 --> 00:56:32,155
God.

1527
00:56:32,650 --> 00:56:34,190
Well, I tell you, it was

1528
00:56:34,489 --> 00:56:37,789
wonderful having you guys both here with this

1529
00:56:38,650 --> 00:56:41,449
very important topic because, like, we had talked

1530
00:56:41,449 --> 00:56:41,949
about

1531
00:56:42,409 --> 00:56:43,389
a lot of times,

1532
00:56:43,849 --> 00:56:46,404
this is the senior community. People, oh, I

1533
00:56:46,404 --> 00:56:48,005
wanna retire to come here, and I don't

1534
00:56:48,005 --> 00:56:49,625
blame them. That's what I did too.

1535
00:56:50,244 --> 00:56:50,565
And,

1536
00:56:51,204 --> 00:56:52,885
but then there comes a time when we

1537
00:56:52,885 --> 00:56:54,885
might be a little more needy and need

1538
00:56:54,885 --> 00:56:57,144
some more help. Call me. And

1539
00:56:57,684 --> 00:56:59,659
yeah. So I I guess the bottom line

1540
00:56:59,659 --> 00:57:01,099
to the to this whole thing is if

1541
00:57:01,099 --> 00:57:02,079
you have a question

1542
00:57:02,380 --> 00:57:04,859
and you think maybe you know somebody or

1543
00:57:04,859 --> 00:57:06,639
maybe you know yourself or whatever,

1544
00:57:07,099 --> 00:57:08,859
go in and ask these people and they

1545
00:57:08,859 --> 00:57:11,420
will be very helpful, very friendly, and tell

1546
00:57:11,420 --> 00:57:13,154
you what they can provide.

1547
00:57:13,775 --> 00:57:16,034
Yeah. Maybe how you can help yourself without

1548
00:57:16,574 --> 00:57:18,034
using them. Absolutely.

1549
00:57:18,335 --> 00:57:20,734

1550
00:57:20,734 --> 00:57:22,994

1554
00:57:30,460 --> 00:57:32,619
that they might have. And, Sarah, go ahead
