00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.480
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:11.480
It's time now for our community connection
right here on k the one you

3
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.480
trust, and it's time to speak
with Angie Thompson here from Eldercare and I

4
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.280
just asked a question and said what's
going on, and boom, we got

5
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:26.399
a lot going on, being a
great, big event coming up a week

6
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.280
from Saturday. That's right on November
eleventh. It's our Giving Day and our

7
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:37.039
fortieth year celebration fundraising breakfast featuring Jim
Bridenstein and many of our friends from the

8
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.039
past forty years are going to join
us. We'll be at Tri County Tech

9
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:46.000
Events Center beginning at nine thirty in
the morning with a light breakfast, and

10
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.039
we'll have a tribute to our veterans
right off the bat, you know,

11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:54.600
to show our appreciation for all those
folks who have made it possible for us

12
00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:00.320
to enjoy the freedoms we enjoy.
Well hear from mister Bridenstein and ch there.

13
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.200
Some of us haven't seen one another
for years, and so we're excited

14
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.560
to be in that space and see
each other. Angie. This is a

15
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.439
great event, and of course it's
a great way to celebrate forty years in

16
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:18.640
our area here in Oklahoma, making
sure that seniors can age in place gracefully

17
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.840
and with a great deal of dignity. And this celebration kind of culminates with

18
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.359
this event, but we also have
another online event that's going on to make

19
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.799
sure we're around for another forty years. That's right, you know, Our

20
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.640
Giving Day is really an online experience, and folks can log onto our website

21
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:41.319
about Eldercare dot org and find the
link to give online. Some people prefer

22
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.640
to do that online credit card kind
of gift. Some people do not.

23
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.040
They'd rather bring their donation to an
event hand it to a person, and

24
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.760
we're open to that too. But
Giving Day is designed to be a twenty

25
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.200
four hour period where a nonprofit can
benefit from online gifts. But we've expanded

26
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.879
ours to also include that for alreaty
year celebration fundraising breakfast, so they get

27
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:07.200
choices this year. I like choices. Everybody likes choices. Yeah, you

28
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:12.680
know, elder Care has been such
a big part of our community for forty

29
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:20.360
years now and going strong, and
there seems to be new things just always

30
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.919
around the corner. Now, we
we've helped out doctor Jerrell with a clinic

31
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.919
clinic. It was a one man
machine back there. You see it,

32
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.360
patients left and right. We got
him a little help. Yeah, he

33
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.240
is. That's working out really well. I understand, you know it is.

34
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.960
And that's the CHC clinic that you're
talking about. Community Health Clinic.

35
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.639
They're based in Kansas, but they
also have a presence in Oklahoma, and

36
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:47.199
they chose Eldercare to be their new
presence in Oklahoma. So they operate a

37
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:52.439
clinic there in our building at twelve
twenty three Swan Drive, and you can

38
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.960
call them in schedule appointments. It's
nine one eight two one four eight h

39
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.159
eight one and they're giving flush.
Now you don't have to have an appointment.

40
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.759
You don't need to be a patient
of doctor Jerrold. You can just

41
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.919
pop in Monday through Friday between eight
and five. They have the RSV,

42
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:14.039
the COVID and the high dose and
regular dose seasonal flu shots. Oh,

43
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.360
there you go. It's that convenient. It is very convenient. You know,

44
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:23.319
you park and you walk about fifteen
steps you're inside, so you don't

45
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.000
have to, you know, choose
an elevator and wait on an elevator or

46
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.759
any of that, or wait in
line. It's very easy, very convenient.

47
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.879
That's what I like about luke Are. Now, there are still some

48
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.439
bolks because we have brand new people
moving into our community all the time.

49
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.560
They heard the name, they know
that we're out on Swan Drive, but

50
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:47.439
they get confused and think that maybe
this is a nursing home right or a

51
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.560
residential care. It's not. It
is not, No, it is it

52
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.000
is a resource center for all things
aging in place. And you mentioned the

53
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.800
CHC. You know they'll treat adults
of all ages. So if you're eighteen

54
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.240
or you're one hundred and eighteen,
you know they have staff there who can

55
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:09.560
treat you. Also, our foundation
therapy specialist treats adults of all ages,

56
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.439
so you know, if you're recovering
from a surgery, if you need an

57
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:18.839
outpatient facility, our foundation therapy specialists
at Eldercare can treat you there. Maybe

58
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:26.680
you've had a stroke or you're recovering
from some traumatic brain injury and you need

59
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:31.079
help. We have a speech language
pathologist on staff who can help with those

60
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.240
issues, and we also have an
occupational therapist. So yeah, so you

61
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:41.879
know, don't let the name throw
you off. Eldercare is a one stop

62
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:46.399
shop for you know, staying healthy
as we age, and everybody wants to

63
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.839
stay healthy. Sure, the big
word is wellness these days. It is

64
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.079
and make sure you're staying well.
And this is kind of what happens there.

65
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:01.279
Also, we've got a beautiful facility
and a beauty full program for those

66
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:08.040
of our parents maybe or other relatives
who are kind of struggling, but they

67
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.839
need they need interaction, they need
to be around people and just kind of

68
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.279
feel you know, cool again,
you know you could. And we've got

69
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.240
a place for the cool kids who
are seniors, don't they right, Yeah,

70
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.279
the seniors who are cool. Yeah, we do it. It's called

71
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.639
Daybreak Adult Day Health, and it
really is that. It's a day break

72
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.920
maybe for those who are caring for
a loved one, a parent, a

73
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.759
spouse, and they need some respite, you know, they need an opportunity

74
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:39.319
to decorate the house for Thanksgiving and
get ready for family that's coming in,

75
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:44.240
and maybe they'd like to have a
respite just to be able to take care

76
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.879
of themselves and recharge well. Daybreak
is not only for those folks who are

77
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.959
looking for respit, but also those
who are just looking for something to do

78
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:55.759
during the day to stay active.
To keep their mind sharp. They have

79
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.279
exercise and healthy meals and snacks and
transportation. You know, a sense of

80
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.000
humor goes a long way. And
the folks at daybreak, they have a

81
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.879
sense of humor. You've got to
keep up with those, the folks who

82
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.319
show up for daybreak because you know, you miss a little, you miss

83
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.920
a lot. It's a day of
laughs. I'm not you know, I'm

84
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.439
not kidding. They do have fun, Yeah, they do. They have

85
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.079
a lot of fun. You know, we had Halloween party this past week

86
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.920
and oh my gosh, they dressed
up, they made masks, they had

87
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.759
they had their own Halloween party and
they just had a blast. You know,

88
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:34.240
they look forward to those social opportunities
and it's like being a kid again.

89
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:39.639
No different than people our age,
you know. I mean you think

90
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.120
about that. Everybody goes, oh
what happens, you hit a magical milestone,

91
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.240
you change. No people are the
same, they're the same, you

92
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.879
know, and it just think about
that. You know, you got a

93
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:54.920
loved one who's at home with you
or you're helping to take care. They

94
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.040
needn't a day out as much as
you do. So give them the opportunity.

95
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:03.680
Yeah, so give yourself a gift
of daybreak and give your loved one

96
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.120
the gift of daybreak. We're going
to talk about some more gifts that come

97
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:13.879
your way with the value and of
course everything that goes with our friends at

98
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.360
Elder Carrey. Just a moment,
plus, we're going to remind you of

99
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.800
the big event coming up here in
just a few days as well. After

100
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:23.600
these words were Martin bore and you
camp you home. The first conversation I

101
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.480
have with someone's loved one, I
don't care if it's three o'clock in the

102
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.000
afternoon or three o'clock in the morning, that first conversation is mister X.

103
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.439
This is Tim Howe with Arnold More
in the Camp Funeral Home. First of

104
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:38.319
all, sir, let me say
I'm very sorry we're having to have this

105
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:44.639
conversation right now, and to the
nth degree, those people always appreciate you

106
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.680
taking a moment to just pause and
say I'm aware that someone you care about

107
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:54.199
very much has just left you,
and I'm sorry that we have to do

108
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.240
this, but we have to do
this. And if it's three o'clock in

109
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.319
the morning, I try to be
brief but con size and say do you

110
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.600
have any questions or anything? I
can do for you right now before we

111
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.279
meet at our arrangement conference. And
sometimes I'll say, you know, can

112
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.759
you call my priest? Can you
call my pastor? And I don't mind

113
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.040
doing that. It'll be all right. We'll walk through this together, Arnold

114
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.079
Moore and me camp Uneral Home seven
ten Dewey Bartels of It. We will

115
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:33.279
walk through this together, all righty, Welcome back, welcome back. It

116
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.519
is our community connection. We're speaking
with Angie Thompson here with Eldercare and we

117
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.679
again the big event is coming up
on Veterans Day on Saturday in the eleventh,

118
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.080
November eleventh, at nine point thirty

121
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.720

their seat for them. Oh very

122
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.440
good. And we do have some
room left. And don't worry if we

123
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.519
start getting a little snug. We
do have ways of experience. We've already

124
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.919
sought permission because we saw this coming. Yeah, so you won't be left

125
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.200
out and you won't be hanging out
in the hallway. You'll be there to

126
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.600
plenty to save, plenty to hear. And of course our guest speaker is

127
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.679
Jim Bright today. You know that's
true. And we've also added a little

128
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.279
fun component. We have four items
to auction off in a silent auction.

129
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.759
Did not know that? Yeah,
Carolyn Mark, you know she's a local

130
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:35.440
artist. She painted and oil painting
just for this event. Yeah, it's

131
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:41.159
a commemorative type oil painting and it's
really beautiful. She's calling it the tutoring

132
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.120
session. It's about a young person
tutoring a senior with a cell phone.

133
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.360
So it's really unique and creative.
It's a sixteen x twenty oil painting.

134
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.799
It's beautiful. Will be including that
in the silent auction. Also, Kevin

135
00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:01.000
Roll is auctioning off a biplane ride. You know, Kevin is an Air

136
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:07.000
Force pilot. He also does air
shows and he will take the person on

137
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:13.559
a really smooth ride or one that's
creative and interesting and adventurous. So the

138
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.679
winner gets to choose. But it's
not the kind of biplane that's an open

139
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:22.519
cockpit. It's a covered so yeah, it's a modern biplane, but that

140
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.320
will be on the Silent auction table
as well as a local experience at the

141
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.440
Price Tower, so folks won't want
to miss this. A NASA basket with

142
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.919
really great items from NASA. You
know, Jim Bridenstein was the one who

143
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.480
was over the Artemis project. The
Artemis project is yeah, but put the

144
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.080
first Lady on the Moon, the
first female. So we have some first

145
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.279
run Artemis merchandise in that basket.
Well, it might be the second lady

146
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:54.240
because I think Alice Crampton got there. Not only kidding. There are people

147
00:10:54.440 --> 00:11:01.679
under the no idea, no idea, but that's okay, that's okay.

148
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.279
I just remember first Lady on the
Moon art of this project. Okay,

149
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.799
very good. Well, you know
the experience with the Price Tower, that's

150
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.279
a whole new deal too, because
you know the new group that's been working

151
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.879
with that, they've done the beautiful
job, a refurbishing thing, I know,

152
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.120
beautiful restaurants, oh yes, with
the six Love sixty six and the

153
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.799
right Steak and you know, and
they've got entertainment in there and as well

154
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.080
as art and displays and everything.
It's it's really it's really seeing its potential

155
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.799
these yes, I know, it's
really cool. It is really so,

156
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.919
you know, if you want to
maybe get up there in elevation, but

157
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.320
you don't want to ride the plane, I'd say that one's a good way

158
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.600
a bit on. Yeah, but
if you're adventurous the biplane ride, you

159
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.000
can't have much more fun than that, I know, And you know,

160
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.759
he called it loop the loop.
You can do the you know, the

161
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.759
tricks straight up and around and all
of that. But I think I would

162
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.919
go with just the smooth sailing for
myself, but some people would be a

163
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.320
little more adventurous. But yeah,
so you know, just a few items

164
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.120
to kind of make it a little
more interesting. And then we've got mister

165
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.080
Bridenstein who's a former NASA administrator,
and he'll be talking about some of his

166
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.320
experiences as a Navy fighter pilot.
It'll be an interesting morning, it will

167
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.799
be. And of course it doesn't
end there. Of course, we can

168
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.480
go online and ensure that elder care
is with us another forty years too.

169
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.000
We talked about that a little bit, but it doesn't hurt the remind folks

170
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.200
that if you can't make it in
person, you can make it online.

171
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.879
Yes, absolutely, And I think
more and more people are more comfortable with

172
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.399
giving online and of course our website
is secure. Are giving portal is secure,

173
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:43.000
and it's a safe and convenient way
to make a donation by credit card.

174
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.120
Oh it is now. I'm not
going to open the can quite yet,

175
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:54.320
but I do want people to realize
that coming up here in further episodes,

176
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.440
like say in December, maybe January. Yeah, we got some really

177
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.000
cool things with Eldercare, will be
kind of opening the book on. Can't

178
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.879

wait a little bit, Just wait a

179
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.960

180
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.720
new chapter, brand new. Yeah, it's going to be cool, some

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:20.799
really fun things coming up in twenty
twenty four that people will really appreciate.

182
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.919
They've always loved Eldercare and the services
we've provided, but you know, we'll

183
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:30.559
be expanding and making some new services
and retooling some of our services that we

184
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.879
currently provide to make it something that
everyone will be able to participate in.

185
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.279
Well, this is going to be
fun, So folks, you're gonna have

186
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.279
to wait just a little bit.
Well, we'll kind of give you some

187
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.440
breadcrumbs along the way here, but
I think we're going to have you back

188
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.039

little bit more about the big event coming
