00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:07.759
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome. It's

2
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:10.519
<v Speaker 1>time now for our community connection right here on K one,

3
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the one you crushed. And today we've got a couple

4
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>of friends in here from elder Care and the good,

5
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 1>the bad, the barbecue, Oh my goodness sake, we're going

6
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 1>to be talking about a lot of good things here today.

7
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>We have Michael Cohlaugh and Julie. We're staying. We're with

8
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 1>us two. And first of all, kids, what's new. I'll

9
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>tell you what's new?

10
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 2>You I knew he won so much, so.

11
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>I just opened a can right there.

12
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:37.560
<v Speaker 2>It's spring. We're ready to go.

13
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 3>We've got a lot of new, exciting things happening at Eldercare.

14
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 3>We recently received a grant through Okay Cares, which is

15
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 3>funded by the State of Oklahoma Oklahoma Human Services, and

16
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 3>from that grant, we are specifically growing our respite for caregivers.

17
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 3>So caregiver respite is a really important issue. It's a

18
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 3>very real issue because if you are caring for a

19
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 3>loved one who might have dementia or Alzheimer's or Parkinson's

20
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 3>or any type of issue that is causing them, you know,

21
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 3>pain and strife and just to age much more rapidly

22
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 3>and their health to decline. You yourself are at risk

23
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:28.000
<v Speaker 3>of needing to be cared for. So with this grant,

24
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 3>we are starting some really great programs. So actually March twentieth,

25
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 3>which is a Thursday, we're starting a new program called

26
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.319
<v Speaker 3>our Open Door Cafe. The Open Door Cafe is really

27
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.840
<v Speaker 3>for anybody who's a caregiver to come and bring your

28
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 3>loved one and they will be in a room adjacent

29
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 3>to us. So if you've been to our facility, are ow.

30
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of rooms.

31
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of rooms.

32
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.719
<v Speaker 3>It's and if you want a tour, you know, give

33
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 3>us a you'll get your walk you through. Yeah, you'll

34
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 3>get yoursel I get my steps in every day around there.

35
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>But we're actually going to hold the Open Door Cafe

36
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 3>in our what's called our East Kitchen, and it's not

37
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.599
<v Speaker 3>like your kitchen at home. This is a very very

38
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 3>large kitchen and our East Classroom, which is an open

39
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 3>door right to it. Your loved one will be there

40
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 3>with some of our trained caregivers from daybreak and they'll

41
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 3>be providing activities for them while you as a caregiver.

42
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 3>It's unstructured. We're going to have coffee, they'll be snacks.

43
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 3>You can just communicate with staff from Elder Care. You

44
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 3>can communicate with other caregivers and just kind of rely

45
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 3>on each other and talk to each other.

46
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>This is something.

47
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Outside of our weekly caregiver support group. This is a

48
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 3>brand new program where we will do some specific respite

49
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 3>for the caregiver. Bring your loved one and they're right

50
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 3>there on site with us, and so through that we

51
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 3>would hope that we could find opportunities for them to

52
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 3>then come to daybreak, come to daybreak more often, and

53
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 3>we're trying to get some very innovative ideas. We're going

54
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 3>to have some activity kits that we'll send home that

55
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:17.439
<v Speaker 3>will stimulate the brain or stimulate your muscles for the

56
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 3>person who needs care, self care kits, things that you

57
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 3>can take home, and then we're going to expand our

58
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 3>respite hours. Historically, Elder Care has had dinners in the

59
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 3>evenings every month. We call them Senior connect and back

60
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 3>in the day they were called Golden Opportunities. We're bringing

61
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 3>those things back, so be watching for that, and we

62
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 3>want to grow our respite care so that if you

63
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 3>are a caregiver, bring your loved one and we will

64
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 3>have some of our train staff from Daybreak giving care

65
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.639
<v Speaker 3>to them while you're enjoying a dinner and things with

66
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 3>other caregivers.

67
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 1>What a great way to find support and for your

68
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 1>loved one to find new friends. Absolutely also get a

69
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 1>better feel for all of the different things that elder cares.

70
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely get the trifector there. Yeah.

71
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, when individuals start dealing with issues and you

72
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 3>could take dementia or Alzheimer's, I think there's an immediate

73
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 3>focus on the number of doors that are closing for them.

74
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 3>And so that's why we're doing an open door cafe.

75
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 3>We want to focus on the doors that are opening,

76
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.680
<v Speaker 3>not only for the individual who needs the care, but

77
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 3>for the caregiver themselves. So we're wildly grateful for this

78
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 3>grant that we have received from Okaycres from the State

79
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 3>of Oklahoma, but we can't always rely on a grant,

80
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 3>and so there are ways that people can come and

81
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 3>partner with us to help us have the funds we

82
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 3>need for programming like this and to continue to grow

83
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 3>our respite care, to continue to grow our daybreak program

84
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 3>or our in home services. And one of those great

85
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 3>ways is is.

86
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>The Good, the Bad, and the Barbecue barbecue. That was

87
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 2>a good handoff. Thank you for that actual segue. That's awesome.

88
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Well it's time. It is time. The commercials are rolling.

89
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>The planning has been taking place for months now, and

90
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.920
<v Speaker 2>we are ready to announce Tickets go on sale for

91

00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:34.960
<v Speaker 3>come to Eldercare.

152
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.559
<v Speaker 1>If it's on your way, might as well say.

153
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:39.279
<v Speaker 3>Hi, yeah, I'm in, say hi, We'll show you around.

154
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 3>It's it really is. Bartlesville is blessed with amazing nonprofits

155
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 3>who have some of the best events, and we're proud

156
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:50.879
<v Speaker 3>to say that ours.

157
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Is kind of the top.

158
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's some top three we are super excited about.

159
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>As Julie said, the twenty seventh year.

160
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>That's a good start.

161
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:06.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And oftentimes people might say, why is it on

162
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:07.279
<v Speaker 3>Mother's Day weekend?

163
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

164
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 3>You have to ask those who started the event twenty

165
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 3>seven years ago. But I'll tell you a lot. You

166
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 3>will not find a better gift opportunity for your wife

167
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.039
<v Speaker 3>or your mother than that the auction.

168
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 2>I agree.

169
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:23.519
<v Speaker 3>I think there are some great things you then take

170
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 3>home and they're like, oh man, you planned so wonderful,

171
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.120
<v Speaker 3>look at this wonderful painting.

172
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 2>And start the party on Saturday night and then celebrate

173
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Mother's Day on Sunday. We have it's really fun to

174
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:39.440
<v Speaker 2>see families sit together and celebrate, and we're again looking

175
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 2>forward to it and we're ready.

176
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:42.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how we do it, but we seem

177
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 1>to fit a lot of people out of the day creation.

178
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, we had seven hundred and fifty last year and

179
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.600
<v Speaker 2>our goal is to have eight hundred to one thousand.

180
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 2>So we want everybody there, and we've been out, you know,

181
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.559
<v Speaker 2>making sure everybody's starting to know about it. You'll see

00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 2>the posters going up, You'll see, you know, billboards have

<v Speaker 2>That's right. The tents go up. The tents are incredible.

191
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Last year was my first year, and just to walk

192
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.399
<v Speaker 2>under that tent when it's empty, it's amazing. I mean,

<v Speaker 2>That's amazing, that's amazing.

217
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 3>There there are opportunities to be involved other than just

218
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 3>buying a ticket. We have volunteer opportunities absolutely, always looking

219
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 3>for volunteers to help in different ways at the barbecue.

220
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.879
<v Speaker 3>And we're still accepting sponsorships in anyone who would like

221
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.519
<v Speaker 3>to sponsor, which would it would include a table, and

222
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:50.320
<v Speaker 3>it would include marketing opportunities for your organization. We will

223
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:56.919
<v Speaker 3>accept sponsorship opportunities through middle of April, you know, and

224
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 3>then it's a great way for you to bring people

225
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.879
<v Speaker 3>that you're trying to influence for your business or that

226
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 3>you're trying to help them understand what elder Care offers.

227
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:11.159
<v Speaker 3>So we would take any type of opportunity to partner

228
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.080
<v Speaker 3>with you. And as Julie has said, as we said

229
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:19.399
<v Speaker 3>talking about the rest but grant everything we're doing, it's

230
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 3>we're giving individuals. We're giving businesses an opportunity to invest

231
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:26.600
<v Speaker 3>in us while we invest into other people and make

232
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.279
<v Speaker 3>a difference in their lives each and every day.

233
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Forty some odd years and going forward to two.

234
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely absolutely, and we were unique, like most cities our

235
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.679
<v Speaker 2>size do not have an organization like elder Care or

236
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 2>facilities and services that are provided like elder Care. It's

237
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.960
<v Speaker 2>really phenomenal. You know, I didn't in twenty nineteen, you know,

238
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:47.399
<v Speaker 2>you kind of know a little bit of my story.

239
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I had that brain injury, and I would have been

240
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.600
<v Speaker 2>driving to Tulsa three times a week. Well that's just

241
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.399
<v Speaker 2>not that's not feasible. And I was so thankful that

242
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>we had those resources and that care and that rehabilitation

243
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:03.360
<v Speaker 2>opportunity right here in Bartlesville that was specific to my needs.

244
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, we have the medical clinic that serves pediatric

245
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 2>patients all the way up to deeriatric patients, and then

246
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.840
<v Speaker 2>we have the physical therapy, the occupational therapy, the speech

247
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.840
<v Speaker 2>therapy foundations that's inside the building, and then we have

248
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.360
<v Speaker 2>of course daybreak and all the other things. So Eldercare

249
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.759
<v Speaker 2>is a little misleading sometimes much and I wouldn't have

250
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.960
<v Speaker 2>considered myself elderly five years ago, but I am still aging.

251
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.879
<v Speaker 2>But it was also a specific service that elder Care provided,

252
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 2>and they can provide service if you have a concussion,

253
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 2>they can provide services if you've injured just your hand,

254
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.679
<v Speaker 2>and you know they have a hand specialists that does

255
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.440
<v Speaker 2>physical therapy and occupational therapy to get that. It's just

256
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.440
<v Speaker 2>very unique. So it's always, I think a great first

257
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.879
<v Speaker 2>stop to give a call to Eldercare to see what

258
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.360
<v Speaker 2>do you have to offer, Because I was really really

259
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:59.639
<v Speaker 2>surprised and very thankful. So that's why it's personal to me.

260
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I will continue to support the mission, the services the

261
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Eldercare provides, and we just want the community to know

262
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 2>and be part of it.

263
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Alrighty, Once again, folks, eldercare and go to about eldercare
