• Caring For You...Caring For Others*

Range of Moon�Exercise�

Occupa�onal Therapy�

� Occupa'onal therapy is designed to help people

regain and build skills that are important for

func'oning on their own. The occupa'onal

therapist will help the person evaluate levels of

func'on.�

An occupa�onal therapist��

• Tests a person’s strength, range of mo'on,

endurance (the ability to con'nue an ac'vity or

effort), and dexterity (skill in using hands) to do

everyday tasks that were done easily before an

illness or injury happened.�

• Designs a program of ac'vi'es and solu'ons that

ensure the greatest possible independence.�

• Provides training to relearn everyday ac'vi'es of

daily living like ea'ng, grooming, dressing, toile'ng,

bathing, and leisure ac'vi'es such as gardening.�

• Decides whether special equipment is needed,

such as wheelchairs, feeding devices, transfer

equipment, hand and�

skin devices. �

� Physical and occupa'onal therapies are part of

the process of relearning how to func'on a�er an

injury, illness, or period of inac'vity. If muscles

are not used, they shorten and 'ghten, making

joint mo'on painful. For the person in your care,

these therapies are key to achieving as much

func'onal independence as possible. Although

you may not be asked to assist with these

exercises, it is useful for you to know how they

help. �

The Physical Therapist �

� A physical therapist treats a person to relieve

pain, build up and restore muscle func'on, and

maintain the best possible performance. �

The therapist does this by using ac've and passive

exercises, massage, heat, water, and electricity.

Broadly speaking, a physical therapist:�

• Sets the goals of treatment with pa'ent and

family�

• Shows how to use special equipment�

• Instructs in rou'ne daily func'ons�

• Teaches safe ways to move�

• Sets up and teaches an exercise program�

Memory Care��

Alzheimer's Gestures & Cues�

When helping a person with any ac�vity, first

give verbal instruc�on, then use visual

gestures and finally, touch. it may be effec�ve

to combine a verbal cue with a gesture so

that the person can get the informa�on in

more than one way. For instance, if you want

the person to stand up, you can ask her to

stand up, raise your hands up in a matching

gesture and then if necessary touch her arm

or leg.�

Please call the ADRC at (608) 847-9371 to schedule transportation.

Taking Care of Yourself —— Staying Fit While

Quarantined at Home

Thanks to social distancing and shelter-in-

place orders amid the coronavirus

pandemic, it is important to be flexible and

creative in exercising. If you enjoyed

exercise classes with friends or long walks,

in order not to backslide and become

sedentary that will affect your health, you

now have to be open to an exercise routine

in your apartment no matter how small.

You don’t need a gym, expensive

equipment, special clothing or a large space

to do many activities at home. The goal

during a pandemic is to maintain your

fitness level, not increase it. Older adults

should combine moderate aerobic activity

with balance and muscle-strengthening

exercises. Balance and muscle mass

deteriorate as people age.

Safety Tips— Covid-19 Face Masks

The CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in

public where social distancing is difficult to maintain.

Cloth face coverings should fit snugly but comfortably

against the side of the face and be secured with ties or

ear loops. They should include multiple layers of fabric

and allow for easy breathing and be able to be

laundered and machine dried without damage to shape.

Follow these tips to stay safe:

• Always wash your hands before and after wearing a

mask.

• Use the ties or loops to put your mask on and pull it

off.

• Do not touch the front of the mask when you take it

off.

• For apartment dwellers, put the mask on and remove

it while

inside your home. Elevators and stairwells can be high-

contamination areas.

• Wash and dry your cloth mask daily and keep it in a

clean, dry place.

Be careful not to touch your eyes, nose, and mouth

when removing face covering and wash hands

immediately after removing.

I expect we had a good or great Labor Day.� Maybe a

picnic!�

I have a sugges*on for those of you that say to

yourself that you are going to order the soup & salad

for Friday but can't seem to remember in *me.� If you

have a cell phone or someone with one (that would

pass message to you) text Nancy at 608�547�2213.

Every Wednesday a7ernoon or Thursday morning I

send out a group text of what the menu is

for each Friday.� I do need to know by 2:00

p.m. every Thursday if you want the meal

and how many.� How easy is that!� You

only need to text me your name(s) that

you are interested once. I might call you.�

Happy Birthday to September persons!�

Forewarning, October is coming and that

means new intake forms will need to be

filled out.�
