Boomers are filling of the‘sandwich generation’

If you’re a Baby Boomer, you areprobably rejoicing that the kids arein high school or college or maybe

even starting families of their own.That’s great news because now it’spossible to have some “me” or “us”time.

For many of us, the reality is quitedifferent. We now confront the issueof aging parents, many of whom haveserious health problems. Perhaps oneparent has died and the remainingcannot stay alone. Even if they arestill both living in their own home, it’soften true that neither is able to driveanymore. As a result, many of us arecalled on to make difficult and oftenunpleasant decisions.

This situation is so widespread thatwe Boomers have been called the“sandwich generation,” taking care ofthose younger and older, sometimesunder one roof. Planning for thatpossibility in advance is one way that

parents and adult children canapproach these conversations in acalm and thoughtful manner.

Home Instead Senior Care has puttogether a series of pamphletsdesigned to help broach topics suchas when to stop driving, health careissues, financial arrangements andother sensitive subjects. The booklet“The 40-70 Rule: A Guide to Conver-sation Starters for Boomers and theirSenior Loved Ones,” is one suchresource.

The “40-70 rule” is a reminder thatconversations about elder planning

Photo provided by Debbie PlattDebbie Platt and her mother, Mary Witt. Mrs. Witt moved in with Ms.Platt and has been flourishing under the care of her family. Mrs. Wittalso ventures out to the Kane Center five days a week for social inerac-tion and activities.

STUART — Debbie Platt is among thelegion of Baby Boomers who is part ofthe “sandwich generation.” She has ahusband who is ill and three children,the youngest a sophomore at the Uni-versity of Florida. Her mother also liveswith the family.

“When I was 21 or 22, we ended upputting my father in a nursing home. Ididn’t know anything and the care waspoor. The poor care contributed to hisdeath and I vowed I’d never put mom ina nursing home.”

Twelve years ago, when Ms. Platt andher husband built their home, theyadded a fourth bedroom with a smallbath and walk-in closet. It was there forher mother when she needed to movein with them.

Some 18 months ago, that time came,and while Ms. Platt and her mother areclose, her mother did not want to makethe move.

“She fought,” Ms. Platt said. “The doc-tors said she had to.”

Safety was the issue. Her mother washaving trouble keeping track of medi-cine and personal hygiene. She wasrecently diagnosed with Alzheimer’sdisease.

“You’re taking over every aspect of herlife when you’ve got so many otherthings,” she said. “You never thoughtyou’d do personal hygiene for your par-ents. Sometimes you feel like an awfulcaregiver.”

Ms. Platt has spent a good deal of timemaking her mother’s life more pleasant.

“When she first started to live withme, I could tell there wasn’t enough todo,” she said. “She’d just sit in her room.

I had a gut feeling that she neededsocialization. It was the idea of gettingup and looking her best. She’d worn thesame hairstyle all my life. I printed outfive styles and we went and got it cut.She wished she’d done it 50 years ago.

“She’s lost a lot of weight in three yearsand when she came, the clothes werehanging off her. I’ve been able to replacethem, little by little. She looks up-to-date now and she gets a lot of compli-ments. That’s given her confidence.”

Her mom goes to the Adult Day Cen-ter at the Kane Center in Stuart five daysa week.

“I had to push her to get started, butshe enjoys it,” Ms. Platt said. “There wasa guy hitting on her a little bit.”

The Adult Day Center costs the Platts$60 a day, but Ms. Platt finds it worth thecost, especially as her mother will needmore care in time. When her mother ishome, she stays in bed with her eyesclosed and without any mental stimula-tion.

When Ms. Platt recently took heryoungest child to college, her son, 25,came and stayed with his grandmotherfor three days.

“He got her ready for the center andeven put her earrings on,” Ms. Platt said.“He’s a sweetheart. He just moved out acouple of months ago.”

In addition to taking care of her moth-er’s every day needs, she is also respon-sible for her mother’s finances. She han-dled the sale of her mother’s condo, andthat helps pay for the day center. She isalso trying to go through the boxes con-taining her mother’s possessions. Shespends a lot of time fighting with insur-ance companies over her mother’s care.

Elder law attorney can help adult children, parents plan

STUART — Adult children who areconcerned about their parentsshould sit down and talk to them.That’s what Nicola Melby, an elderlaw attorney in Stuart, tells herclients.

“Ask them what they want you doto if something happens,” she said.“Tell them you’d like to do what theywant.”

Ms. Melby suggests starting withfuneral arrangements, because it issomething concrete and understand-able.

“Ask if they want cremation or bur-ial and where,” she said. “Ask whothey want you to contact, if there areany papers and if they’ve seen an

attorney. If the documents they haveare recent, ask ‘Would it be OK if wescheduled a meeting with yourlawyer so that I understand what myresponsibilities are?’ That starts amulti-generational contact.”

If the parents have no documentsor the documents are out-of-date,Ms. Melby suggests clients see anelder care attorney.

“The best way to find one is to con-tact the Florida Bar and get a list ofattorneys who are members of theelder law section,” she said. “Get a listof those who are certified in elder lawand have practiced for at least fiveyears.

“If there is an identifiable problem,ask the attorney what percentage ofthe practice deals with that type of

problem. Once they get to the attor-ney, they’re probably in good hands.”

Ms. Melby said there are basicallytwo groups of documents that needto be put in place. The first relate todeath and deal with the disposition ofproperty at death. That groupincludes will, trusts, deeds and othersimilar documents.

The second group of documentsdeals with the management of prop-erty and person during life. Thatincludes such documents as adurable power of attorney, designat-ing a health care surrogate andprocuring a Living Will.

Ms. Melby said many people havewills made decades ago that may stillbe legally valid, but that may nolonger reflect the person’s wishes or

family realities.“A lot of older wills were made

when the parent was in his or her 40sand nominated a brother to care forminor children. It may be time tolook at it again with fresh eyes, so thatthey are sure that the consequencesend up the way they wanted.

“Bequests made 25 years ago mayhave consequences if a beneficiarybecomes disabled or incompetent.The (new) will might want to haveprovisions that address that possibili-ty.”

Understanding theAutonomic Nervous System(ANS)

Patients with diabetes, heartdisease, sleep apnea, neu-ropathy, dizziness, Fibromyalgia, and a host ofother chronic illnesses mayactually have an imbalancein the autonomic nervoussystem (ANS ) that is causingchronic pain.

The autonomic nervous sys-tem is the network of nervesthat are associated with theorgans. They are responsiblefor keeping the body run-ning smoothly, and for pro-viding the energy to respondto external stimuli.Autonomic imbalance canbe detected with a noninva-sive, painless, twenty-

minute test covered byMedicare and most insur-ance carriers. If this testreveals ANS imbalance, asimple treatment may beable to reverse a patient’sdisease processes.

ANS evaluation has provenitself beneficial in improv-ing prognoses for patientswith myocardial infarction,congestive heart failure, anddiabetes when steps aretaken to restore balance tothe branches of the ANS .

“I cannot stress enough howimportant it is for patientsto understand and takesteps to protect their auto-nomic nervous system,”emphasizes Dr. Tobias. “Iwelcome the opportunity toguide patients through this

vital test to help them findeffective relief of their ANSsymptoms.”

Understanding BalanceDisorders

Balance disorders are a par-ticularly serious conditionfor senior patients becausemore than one-third of indi-viduals over age 65 fall atleast once a year. The Southern IllinoisUniversity School ofMedicine reports:

Falls are the leading causeof injury and death among those over age 65. 35% of individuals over age 65 fall at least once a year. 50% of individuals over age 80 fall at least once a year.

50% of those who fall will do so more than once. 50% of individuals over age 75 who fall will not survive another year.

According to the AmericanAcademy of Neurology, anincreased risk of falls isestablished among personswith diagnoses of stroke,dementia, disorders of gaitand balance, Parkinson’sdisease, peripheral neu-ropathy, lower extremityweakness or sensory disor-ders, and substantial visionloss .

People often think their feel-ings of vertigo or light-head-edness are a normal part ofthe aging process, but Dr.Tobias emphasizes this isn’ttrue. “Balance problems canresult from a variety of caus-

es,” states Dr. Tobias. “Theyshould be addressed asquickly as possible to deter-mine the source of the prob-lem “.

Hal M. Tobias, MD, is boardcertified in neurology andpain medicine by theAmerican Board ofPsychiatry and Neurologyand is just the 98th physi-cian in the world to be certi-fied by the AmericanAcademy of Neurology inPain Medicine

Conquering Chronic Pain and Balance DisordersArticle courtesy of Neurology and Pain Management

My father has a saying: “Mandoes not live by bread alone… he must have peanut

butter.” Peanut butter is creamy and

delicious and has been enjoyed byAmericans and their pet dogs sinceabout 1884. Peanut butter is enjoyedheartily by dogs and is used widely asflavoring in dog treats. Dog ownersuse peanut butter to entice their dogsto take medications, as a reward intraining settings and spread on chewtoys.

Peanut butter sticks to dog toys wellbecause it is a smooth thick paste.The process for producing the pastewas patented by a Canadian, Marcel-lus Edson from Montreal, Quebec, in1884.

Roasted peanuts were pressedbetween heated plates, then uponcooling the resulting tenacious gooey

product is what we know today aspeanut butter.

Today a massive peanut butterrecall is in progress for 101 peanutbutter products in 19 states, suspect-ed of being contaminated with abacteria called salmonella, includingone made for dogs called DogsbutterRUC with flax (the manufacturer hasvoluntarily recalled the product).

The other 100 recalled peanutproducts made for human consump-tion could have also been fed to dogs.At this time it is unknown how manydogs could be affected by salmonella-contaminated peanut butter.

Salmonella is a bacteria whichinhabits the digestive tract of people,animals, birds and reptiles.

Feces from any of these can causecontamination of peanut butter.Once the peanut butter is contami-nated, refrigerating opened contain-ers can slow the growth of bacteria,but not eliminate it or its toxins, so itcan still cause illness.

After a dog eats salmonella-contaminated peanut butter, symp-toms may include sudden diarrheaand possible septicemia (infection ofthe blood) with fever.

In addition, peanut butter containsa mold called aspergillusflavus, whichproduces a carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and liver-toxic substancecalled aflatoxin. This mold is consid-ered to be an unavoidable contami-nant in peanut butter and is allowedup to 20 parts per billion, according

to the FDA.In 2005 a pet food recall came after

aflatoxin in one manufacturer’s petfoods caused the deaths of 100 dogsand at least one cat from liver failure.Early symptoms included lack ofappetite and jaundice (yellow discol-oration of the gums).

Therefore, to avoid salmonellosis oraflatoxicosis illnesses in your dogs,please do not feed them peanutbutter! Dogs can live without peanutbutter, as for man, that is up to you.

Waterfront restaurant is known for accommodating large groups

MARTIN COUNTY — A beautifulyoung bride sits at the head of a tablewith her groom enjoying a casuallunch with a party of about 30 guests.

“They called about a week ago andasked if they could bring 30 peopleover,” said Robert Rae, general man-ager of Shuckers on the Beach. “Wesaid sure. They just had their weddingright out here on the beach.”

The ease with which the restaurantcould accommodate the large group,plus host a wedding on its waterfrontproperty overlooking the AtlanticOcean, is part of the magic of Shuck-ers on the Beach.

Much of the resort-based restau-rant’s appeal lies in its quiet charm

and unassuming ability to easily seatlarge or small groups indoors, on thepatio, near the tiki bar or in its ban-quet room.

“We do a wedding just about everySaturday, and host lots of functionsand big parties,” Mr. Rae said.

But small groups are equally athome at Shuckers on the Beach, therestaurant with one of the best rawbars in Jensen Beach and tables fortwo tucked intimately and strategical-ly away throughout the dining room.

This is a place where the menuoffers good and finely prepared food,made from fresh ingredients andserved with style.

A favorite appetizer is the ahi tuna,served with a lush salad, perfectly

If you are looking for a drug plan,we will ask you to provide a list of allthe prescriptions you take, as well asthe dosage and the frequency foreach medication.

If you are searching for the best

• Will the plan allow you to contin-ue using your present doctors?

• If you had to go to the hospital,would your hospital of choice beincluded in the plan’s network?

• Will you need a referral from yourprimary care doctor to see a special-ist?

• Do you desire to have coveragewhen traveling?

• Does the plan offer extra benefitssuch as vision, dental, hearing aidsand gym membership?

• Are the drugs you presently takepart of the plan’s formulary, and whatwill they cost?

• What is the plan’s monthly premi-um, as well as co-payments fordoctor visits, etc.?

Comparing the different plansusing the answers to these questionswill help you arrive at the best choicefor you. A SHINE counselor can helpyou find available plans in your areaand can assist you with any ques-tions.

Once your decision has been made,you will have one opportunity in 2013to disenroll from your MA planduring the annual disenrollmentperiod. The ADP runs from Jan. 1through Feb. 14.

should start early and not when acrisis looms. The “40-70 rule” meansthat if you’re 40 or your parents are70, you should be talking andplanning. If you haven’t, now is still agood time to start the conversation.

Home Instead and consultants onsenior care suggest seven tips tohelp get the conversation started.

• Get started. If you’re 40 or yourparents are 70, begin observing andgathering information. Don’t makedecisions based on one incident orobservation and keep an open mind.

• Talk it out. Talk to your parents ina conversation, not an inquisition.Discuss what you’ve observed andask your parents what they think isgoing on. If they acknowledge thesituation, ask them what they thinka good solution would be. If theydon’t recognize a problem, useconcrete examples.

• Sooner is better. Talk before a

crisis occurs. If you know a loved onehas poor eyesight or has trouble withnight driving, begin the discussionbefore there’s a problem.

• Forget the baby talk. Rememberthat you are talking to your adultparents, not to a child. Don’t patron-ize or them on the defensive. Putyourself in their shoes and imaginehow you would want such a conver-sation to go.

• Maximize independence. Alwaystry to find solutions that allow yourloved one the maximum amount ofindependence. Look for answersthat play to strengths and compen-sate for problems. Some householdassistance or medication remindersmay help preserve independencelonger.

• Be aware of the whole picture. Ifyour dad dies and your mom’s houseis in disarray, it is probably not aseparate issue, but the result of theloss. See if people can visit andmaybe help out for a bit to see if thesituation improves.

• Ask for help. Local agencies andresources exist to help older peoplemaintain their independence. Findout what is available for your par-ents and seek out whatever help youcan. Senior centers and area agen-cies on aging are wonderfulresources.

To obtain copies of “The 40-70Rule” or other helpful pamphlets ontalking about aging, contact DianeButler, director of community out-reach at Home Instead Senior Care at(772) 564-8821.
