<v Speaker 3>We have a beautiful, beautiful center Adult a health our

10
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:37.359
<v Speaker 3>Daybreak program and it is amazing. We have Miss Sheila

11
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 3>Tucker who is our administrator and she is just fabulous.

12
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 3>It is a wonderful environment that helps families, you know,

13
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.840
<v Speaker 3>stay at home longer. It gives them something that they

14
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 3>can do. It provides respite, It gives people a purpose.

15
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>It does and that's where the cool kids hang out, Michael.

16
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 4>That's where all the cool kids hang out at It's

17
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 4>undergo wander back there in the building and check out

18
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:07.280
<v Speaker 4>what's going on at daybreak from checkers and chess to

19
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 4>pottery to music to get I mean, they're doing something

20
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:14.400
<v Speaker 4>constantly and.

21
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 1>It's always a conversation.

22
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 4>There's always a conversation and they're going to grab you

23
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 4>and you walk through and pull you into their conversation.

24
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 4>And it's a great it's a great first choice for

25
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 4>anyone who is looking to stay at home longer, and

26
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 4>I think too many people miss out on that. They

27
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 4>go I don't know what our options are. Do we

28
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 4>have someone who comes to the home, or do we

29
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 4>put someone in an assisted living No, come to daybreak,

30
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 4>come to elder care, because you're not going to find

31
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 4>a more active, affordable, and efficient way to extend your

32
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 4>independence at home than through Daybreak.

33
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely well, Christina, you get the best best of both

34
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 1>worlds here for your loved one. At the end of

35
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 1>the day, you get to go Holpe, you know where

36
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 1>everything is, everything's pretty familiar to you. In the daytime,

37
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you get to have friends, you.

38
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Do and like I said, it gives that purpose. But

39
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 3>we have people who drive to Daybreak, They drive themselves.

40
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 3>We have individuals who need a little bit more oversight.

41
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 3>We have people who've just felt really lonely at home

42
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>and wanted to reconnect, and so Daybreak gives them that opportunity.

43
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 3>It gives them an opportunity to help others. And when

44
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 3>we help others, we feel very hopeful and we have

45
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 3>a purpose, and that is so important.

46
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>You have something seeing the smiles when you walk in.

47
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.199
<v Speaker 1>That's got to be the kind of a reward in it.

48
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 3>It is amazing.

49
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>This job offers so much of that.

50
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 3>The wisdom and just the people and the connection is

51
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 3>just amazing. Tom. We can't tell you how beneficial it

52
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 3>is to be a part of this community and the

53
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.960
<v Speaker 3>families that come to elder Care because they lift us up,

54
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 3>they educate us, and they bring so much to the table.

55
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, we have a lot of caretakers that utilize

56
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the resources that Elder Care is part of,

57
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes the caretakers need a little care themselves.

58
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 4>There's no question about that. We offer a weekly caregiver

59
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 4>support group. It's every Tuesday at ten am. And if

60
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 4>you come to the caregiver support group and you'm not

61
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 4>sure what to do with your loved one with the

62
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 4>person who's receiving the care, call us and talk to

63
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 4>Sheila at daybreak because for that one hour you could

64
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 4>have your loved one be a part of daybreak for

65
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 4>that one hour while you're at the caregiver support group.

66
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

67
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 4>And then we have another unique group that meets every

68
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Thursday from ten to eleven thirty.

69
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>It's called Open Door Cafe. We don't really view it

70
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 2>as a support group because it's just a place.

71
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 4>To belong if you are someone who just needs some

72
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 4>time to yourself as a caregiver. But we ask you

73
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 4>to bring your care receiver, your loved one with you

74
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 4>and they can be in the cafe area with you.

75
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 4>They can be in the room right next door where

76
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 4>Sheila and daybreak staff are there with cognitive gains, different

77
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 4>things to help them stay busy and to you know,

78
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.439
<v Speaker 4>just kind of exercise their mind during that time. And

79
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 4>you're not leaving your loved one at home, you're bringing

80
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 4>them there with us. So it's respite for that caregiver

81
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 4>through those two opportunities that we have.

82
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 1>And when they're bringing their loved one in, can't you

83
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 1>just almost see that little light come on and you're like, Wow,

84
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>this is cool. I'm not a.

85
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 3>Loomed amazing, And it provides an opportunity to come in

86
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 3>a cafe style, so there's coffee and tea and pastries

87
00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 3>from the eatery which are amazing, and it's a chance

88
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 3>for the caregiver to sit down and not have to

89
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 3>answer any questions. Sometimes I just want to go somewhere

90
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 3>that nobody's asking me questions. It's a time to connect.

91
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 3>If they want to seek resources, they can, or if

92
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 3>they just want someone to visit with, we're there. But

93
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 3>the other part of Adult Day Health that respite that

94
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 3>we're open seven thirty am to five thirty each day.

95
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 3>They may have a caregiver that still works, They may

96
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 3>have a caregiver that just needs some downtime so they

97
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 3>can provide the care in the evening. Adult Day offers that,

98
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.480
<v Speaker 3>and Adult Day Health is one of the most affordable

99
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 3>means of care you will find.

100
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Wow, we have folks. You need to contact either Michael

101
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>or Christina out there at the Elder Care and ask

102
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>about this program and maybe come out and take a

103
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>little visitally.

104
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, we love to do tours. We love to talk

105
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 3>to people. When you think about care, if you're imagining

106
00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 3>a center that offers cognitive therapies, physical therapies, you know,

107
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 3>access to your medical providers, games, entertainment, socialization, all of

108
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 3>the oversight. We have a dedicated nurse on staff for

109
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Adult Day Health at a little over eleven dollars an hour,

110
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 3>right that is unheard of. That and Adult Day is

111
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 3>one of those programs that is the most audited. So

112
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 3>we have the best care that you know is available

113
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 3>and it really extends your time at home, if not indefinitely,

114
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 3>and provides that community connection. So the other thing I

115
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 3>want to mention real quick, I know I can talk

116
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.079
<v Speaker 3>a lot, is the we have so many ways of

117
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 3>helping pay for adult day health through scholarship, we take VA,

118
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.199
<v Speaker 3>we have the Advantage program, we have block grants. You know,

119
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.720
<v Speaker 3>private pay long term care insurance. But if you need

120
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 3>that service, we're going to find a way to help

121
00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 3>you get what you need.

122
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 1>My goodness, I think you just made a whole lot

123
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>of people to say wow because they were wanting to

124
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>take part of the services listening in and it's like,

125
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 1>going on, how do I cover this?

126
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 3>You just open the door, just come talk to us.

127
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Conversations work, don't they?

128
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>It does absolutely?

129
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.639

<v Speaker 2>Up, fun event coming up?

132
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think I think we're referring to the United

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 3>Ways Aloha after do yeah, indeed, and we are a

134
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:33.000
<v Speaker 3>United Way partner. And so July twenty six, six pm

135
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.920

137
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.120

138
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.360
<v Speaker 3>but United Way makes such a difference in this community

139
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 3>and in our lives, in the lives of the people

140
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 3>that come to elder Care, and we just are so

141
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 3>thankful for their partnership.

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

159
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 4>We literally had a pottery class on Monday evening that

160
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 4>was open to the public.

161
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, you could.

162
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Speaker 4>It was a a class you had to pay to

163
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 4>be a part of unless unless you're a caregiver. That's right,

164
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 4>it was your Your price was covered if you're a caregiver.

165
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:53.600
<v Speaker 4>We're we are ramping up all of the different events

166
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 4>and activities that we have at Eldercare under the big

167
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 4>green roof, as you say, so, we want want that

168
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.720
<v Speaker 4>to be a central hub in Bartlesville for people to

169
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:10.039
<v Speaker 4>come and find community, to come and find a new

170
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 4>spark in life, and just to be very active. So

171
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.080
<v Speaker 4>we from we have gentle Yoga that happens twice a week.

172
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.200
<v Speaker 4>We have the caregiver support groups I mentioned, but we

173
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.120
<v Speaker 4>also have a monthly support group just for those who

174
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 4>are dealing with Parkinson's or your loved ones dealing with Parkinson's.

175
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:31.559
<v Speaker 4>The number of things that we have going on are

176
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 4>it's too many to count, it is, and we're.

177
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Only going to get bigger.

178
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 2>It's only going to get bigger, yea.

179
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 1>You know. One of the programs I had the privileged

180
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of was a thing simply called

181
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.399
<v Speaker 1>dinner with friends. Oh yeah, and you think to that,

182

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.200
<v Speaker 1>got good food out there and they got dinner in

185
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.080

<v Speaker 1>with Kevin Knowles, who were two guys with guitars she named.

187

<v Speaker 1>But but the thing was everybody had fun, and there

188
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.200
<v Speaker 1>were people who hadn't seen each other in a while,

189
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.519
<v Speaker 1>and you could say, oh wait across tables at each

190
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>other and folks at you know, who were maybe neighbors

191
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>sometime earlier in life. And it was just a great

192
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:16.759
<v Speaker 1>sense of community.

216
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.200
<v Speaker 4>do email blasts next week to start kicking that.

217
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, it stopped raining and started getting hot. Oh,

218
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.399
<v Speaker 1>we got a project, a cool, cool, cool room project.

219
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:32.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, we mentioned the United Way, and we

220
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 4>can't do in Bartlesville. The United Way agencies and the

221
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 4>nonprofits that they support. It's only possible because of what

222
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:42.840
<v Speaker 4>Bartlesville does.

223
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 2>How Bartlesville supports the United Way.

224
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.720
<v Speaker 4>And so it is getting warmer, and we have what's

225
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.759
<v Speaker 4>called the Cool Room Project, and that's where we loan

226
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.559
<v Speaker 4>out a window air conditioning unit to someone who is

227
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 4>aged six year older who is in need of that.

228
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Just a few qualifications. In order for you to get one.

229
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.159
<v Speaker 4>You have to have a one hundred and ten outlet,

230
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.840
<v Speaker 4>buy a window and a door to that room that

231
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.320
<v Speaker 4>will close so as the summer heat and up, muggy

232
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 4>air starts piling on if you don't have central heating air,

233
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 4>or you don't have a working window unit, you can

234
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:21.159
<v Speaker 4>have a cool room in your home and we just

235
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 4>loan those out generally for the season. They come back

236
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:30.720
<v Speaker 4>in September ish. But here's our problem, Tom, We have

237
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 4>a waiting list. We have people who need this relief

238
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 4>right now, and for two hundred dollars, if someone were

239
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.360
<v Speaker 4>to donate two hundred dollars to elder Care, we could

240
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 4>go out and buy a unit right now to have

241
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 4>and start making up that waiting list. If you donate

242
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:49.720
<v Speaker 4>six hundred dollars, we're going to get three of them.

243
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.039
<v Speaker 4>If you have a working unit that's gently used and

244
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.559
<v Speaker 4>you know it's capable and you're not using it, absolutely

245
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.720
<v Speaker 4>donate that to us. We would love to do that

246
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.399
<v Speaker 4>because there are people who are in need and we

247
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 4>want to help facilitate meeting that need. And I know

248
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.639
<v Speaker 4>our community is generous and giving and.

249
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 2>If you could help with that, we would love it.

250
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 4>And if you need help, I know there's a waiting list,

251
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.240
<v Speaker 4>but reach out because we are going to find a

252
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.360
<v Speaker 4>way to get more and more of those so that

253
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:23.720
<v Speaker 4>we can get those into your homes.

254
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>And we're announcing this on the kickoff of the dog

255
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:26.879
<v Speaker 1>days or something.

256
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're exactly right, only going to get hotter.

257
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah. I was told that once you turn

258
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the heat on down here, it sticks around to a

259
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>little bit.

260
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 4>We've been fortunate, it's been mild for the last eight weeks,

261
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.679
<v Speaker 4>but it is kicking in and it's we've had enough

262
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.759
<v Speaker 4>rain to lasts for the rest of the year, thank goodness.

263
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 2>But that just means it's going.

264
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>To be muggy. That's a miserable heat.

265
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and people need that cool room to stay healthy.

266
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.840
<v Speaker 3>It's not a luxury, it's a real need. And so

267
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.159
<v Speaker 3>we find people that are really struggle and like Michael said,

268
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 3>they need to.

269
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:02.919
<v Speaker 2>Be able to close the door.

270
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.159
<v Speaker 3>Now if they can put up a curtain, you know,

271
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.240
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't have to be a wood door. But we

272
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.039
<v Speaker 3>want to help them make sure that they have a

273
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 3>safe space and one that the air conditioner can efficiently cool.

274
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.600
