You're thinking, oh, I could trip, 54 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.000 and you know, my significant others can be out for 55 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:18.560 the day and so you can come through the day. 56 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.080 It's great for caregivers, you. 57 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.639 Know, as we get older, sometimes you know, we need 58 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:26.599 a little supervice care. 59 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:28.400 And we don't like to say it like that, right, 60 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:29.439 but sometimes that happens. 61 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.199 I mean in that, you know, being at home all 62 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.319 day long isn't the best option for us. 63 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.800 And so instead you can come hang out with us for. 64 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.439 The day and feel engaged, feel involved, feel. 65 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.520 Loved, be part of our family, you know, for that day.

So that is limited to fifteen people. If 77 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.319 that's something that you're interested in, I advise you sign 78 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.159 up very quickly identify. 79 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:20.439 I'm sure you did. 80 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.240 Yes, absolutely, it's that event is going to be ten 81 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.719 dollars of person, so definitely get registered quickly. 82 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:30.479 That's going to be next Tuesday. 83 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.080 And then one we really want to hit on is 84 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.000 our understanding Medicaid and advantage care. That's going to be 85 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.520 featuring John Holden, he's a local attorney at law Susan 86 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:43.400 AIDS is the Oklahoma Assistant journal General Counsel for Oklahoma 87 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:48.280 Human Services, and Josh Holloway, Oklahoma Deputy General Counsel for 88 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:49.520 the Oklahoma. 89 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:50.199 Health Care Authority. 90 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.960 So with this event, we're going to be really focusing 91 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.120 on what is advantage advantage versus Medicaid, how do you 92 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.520 qualify planning requirements? 93 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:01.840 And some what if scenarios. 94 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:03.840 They're going to be really hitting on a lot of topics, 95 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.599 a lot of great information, some resources that I think 96 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.479 our community is really in need of. 97 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:09.639 I think so too, you. 98 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.400 Know, because we have people who are working longer, sometimes 99 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.280 longer than they had planned. Yeah, right out of necessity, 100 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.160 but they still are interested in what they've been working 101 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.519 for all their life and how this could perhaps work 102 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.920 in their favor or or just what's what. And I 103 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.199 know a lot of people who are my age. It's 104 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:31.480 the what's what and what's this and how does this work? 105 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.040 More questions than a kindergartener walking in on first day 106 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.439 of school. There's a lot of wats and whys and 107 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:38.839 how does this yeah work? 108 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.680 And that's what we're trying to kind of demystify for you, right, 109 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.920 And so we think about that. You know, you're whether 110 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.199 you're just about to turn sixty five or whether you've 111 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:52.519 turned sixty five some time ago, and you know, aging 112 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.639 kind of happens differently and what kind of care you 113 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.360 may want or how you want that to look can 114 00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:57.720 always change, and so. 115 00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.600 Understanding what options. 116 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.160 You have out there is really vital and I think 117 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.240 that's important. The Advantage Waiver program that they're going to 118 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.720 touch on, it's a really great program for those who 119 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.839 are really wanting to stay in their homes and are 120 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.879 looking for additional resources in order to kind of help 121 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.480 with that aging in place. And so it's really great 122 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.399 program to understand could I qualify, what would that look 123 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.040 like and then what could we you know, what resources 124 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.439 would that bring into my life? And whether that's a 125 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.160 case manager. So the Advantage Waiver program can pay for 126 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.920 case management, and that's an advocate that you're assigned that 127 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.839 can come and help you kind of coordinate all that 128 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.800 care because as you get older, sometimes you need multiple 129 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.959 things and you're like, I can't navigate all of those 130 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.360 relationships myself where I could and it's really complicated. 131 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.600 So a case manager can help with that. 132 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:52.279 The Advantage Waiver program also will contribute to Daybreak, and 133 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:53.959 so you're like, Okay, well I want to be able 134 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.120 to come to daybreak, but I'm a little concerned about 135 00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.160 the financial part of it. Right, Well, this is one 136 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.839 of the avenues you can use to cover the costs 137 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.680 to come visit us for out the week and in 138 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.360 our day break program as well. But I think people 139 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.519 are really afraid of it. Sometimes they're afraid of not 140 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.079 knowing the what's and the whys and the hows, and 141 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.720 so this is a really great opportunity to hear from 142 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.839 those experts, so people at our state level that really 143 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.839 understand what those programs are and how. 144 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.240 They work, and then you can ask questions about it 145 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:23.600 as well. 146 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.240 So right this is going to be a panel for sure, 147 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.480 so definitely come with questions prepared. 148 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:30.079 We want to get those answered. 149 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.160 I'm glad a lot of these are lawyers because everything 150 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.279 I've seen on this so far looks like lawyers speak. 151 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.920 Yeah, and it can be so confusing. And so then 152 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:40.319 you're like. 153 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:41.720 You said, I thought it was by design. 154 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.279 No, I don't think it is. 155 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.800 But we're really great to have these partners that want 156 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.360 to come in and help us really get out that information. 157 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.480 It's maybe something you're saying, I don't know that it's 158 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.800 relevant right now, and it may not be, but that 159 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.240 doesn't mean it won't be relevant in a couple of years, 160 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.079 or even maybe relevant to your neighbor. You know, we 161 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.000 call age differently. We're all in different places and so 162 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.680 it could be really relevant to those as well. So 163 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.680 we encourage you that if you're interested in that, please, 164 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.839 you know, give us a call sign that for it. 165 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:11.839 There's no cost. 166 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:17.120 It's on Wednesday, September eleventh, so that's next Wednesday, three 167 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:18.519 pm is when it starts. 168 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.040 I'll be up from my neck. 169 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:20.839 Oh well good. 170 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.120 And if you're looking to register, you can do that 171 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.560 online or you can give us a call as well 172 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.319 at nine one eight three three six eight five zero. 173 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.639 Zero at Alanda would be happy to get you signed 174 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.079 up for it.

And then we've also got 197 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.559 Understanding Phases of Alzheimer's with doctor James Hutchins Local MD. 198 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.320 That is September twenty sixth at six pm. So that's 199 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.440 gonna be a little bit of a later seminar, but 200 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.039 it will be also free, and we encourage you guys 201 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.919 to come check that out. He's got some great information. 202 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.919 He is ready, ready for a good time. 203 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.279 Well, well, you know that this is great because many 204 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.399 of us have parents. Even though we might be in 205 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.080 our sixties, our parents are still around, yeah, thanks to 206 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.600 some healthier living these days. And sometimes that question creeps in, 207 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.039 you know, is dad slipping a gear? And you might not, 208 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.000 but you never know, And this is a good way 209 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.039 to figure out kind of. 210 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.519 What's what right, Yeah, I mean, our whole idea with 211 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.279 September is that it really is healthy aging month, and 212 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.240 so when we really look at that, we say, what 213 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.759 can we do to be preventative about our health but 214 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.240 also just be aware of it? And so this talk 215 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:42.639 with doctor Hutchins is a really great example of that. 216 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.720 So maybe you're concerned and you can kind of put 217 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.799 some of those concerns away, or it just gives you 218 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.000 a really great highlight of what can I be looking 219 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.799 out for for my parents, just in case, you know, 220 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.519 I start to see some things that concern me. And 221 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.480 then how can we have really great conversations with our 222 00:09:57.559 --> 00:09:59.279 doctors if we do have those. 223 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.159 Concerns that kind of are being highlighted. 224 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.159 And that's really our whole goal at elder Care is 225 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:08.440 to really start to say, you know, aging health however 226 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.879 you want to say, it's a whole lifetime process. 227 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:12.080 It happens from. 228 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:13.759 It didn't just happen over time. 229 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.559 Yeah, it does it. It doesn't just happen. 230 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.360 And so you have such great ability as individuals to 231 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.679 make a difference in your in your health and how 232 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.200 maybe things will happen in your sixties, seventies and eighties. 233 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.639 By being proactive, by getting you know, keeping on top 234 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.919 of your physical healths with physical therapy or your balance, 235 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.799 you don't fall to engaging in social activities. And so 236 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.799 that's one of the biggest things I always tell people 237 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.440 is it can get a little lonely when you retire. 238 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.000 You know, you're so used to working with people all 239 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.799 day long, and then you retire and you think, I 240 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.919 don't see as many people, and so coming to seminars 241 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:55.120 or coming to daybreak, they give you those social interactions 242 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.080 that maybe you had when you were working all. 243 00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.960 The time, and that makes a huge difference. 244 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:00.960 The lights come on. 245 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.759 Well in the mental health, you're not gonna get depressed. 246 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.600 You're gonna stay connected, it's gonna stay relevant, You're gonna move, 247 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.799 You're not gonna be sitting in that chair watching TV 248 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.279 all day and the next thing, you know, my legs 249 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.559 don't work quite as much as they did when I 250 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:14.320 was up and moving. 251 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:20.200 Pop quiz for you, Claire, Claire, Yeah, okay. Is elder 252 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.840 care is that like a nursing home. 253 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:24.919 It is not a nursing. 254 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.799 We are not residential, but we do have many programs 255 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.639 we Our goal is to equip our community to be 256 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.360 a resource for them. We are here for you, guys, 257 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.679 not the other way around. You know, you're not here 258 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.559 for us. I often encourage them at our seminars and 259 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.440 our events. I tell them at the end, you know, 260 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.039 if this is something that you want to see more of, 261 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.799 let us know. If you have suggestions or other things 262 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.200 that you want to see, tell us because we want 263 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.000 to bring those resources in. 264 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.240 We want to have those things available for you guys. 265 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.279 And you're there to help people agent place. And when 266 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.480 we say agent, that means live independently for as long 267 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:03.879 as you possibly. 268 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.440 Can't avoid early nursing home placement. 269 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.919 But we also mean to make your own choices. 270 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:10.559 And so I always like to say that some people 271 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:12.799 don't like living on their home and maybe going into 272 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:16.639 an independent you know, community is what they desire. Well, 273 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.840 you still may need, you know, some of those things. 274 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.080 And so when we say aging the way you want, 275 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.679 it's with respect and it's with dignity, and it really 276 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:25.200 is the way you want to do it. 277 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.279 And so the worst thing I've seen is people my 278 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:33.759 age trying to hustle mom or dad or both off 279 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.960 to the home and it's like, you're a danger to yourself. 280 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.799 And you know, all they're seeing is minuscule of what's 281 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.759 going on. Nothing that not saying that there's anything wrong 282 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.559 with that. If that's needed, that's needed. But many times 283 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:53.919 just a little bit of help or just a little 284 00:12:54.120 --> 00:13:00.799 resource here and there can keep that covered out of 285 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.720 the way for three, four or five years. 286 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:04.919 Absolutely, And it's about. 287 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.000 And it's about there. It's about their dignity and respect too. 288 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.039 Yeah, And so we say we will help you age 289 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.200 how you want to age, and so we do. 290 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.639 We have to offer a variety of programs for that. 291 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.440 And that's why I love that daybreak program because sometimes 292 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:23.399 it's more about hey, being at home alone twenty four 293 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.440 hours a day. That makes me nervous, Right, You're like, 294 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.080 no one's got eyes on you, knowing, well, here's a 295 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:30.600 place you can come during the day and say. 296 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.000 Hey, look I was good, I got I got fed today. 297 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.120 You know, I made sure I exercise and I'm going 298 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:36.879 to go home and be good for the rest of 299 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:37.200 the day. 300 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.039 And now I feel empowered to live independently. 301 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.480 Because I know I have people that have my back 302 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:44.720 and are really looking out for me. 303 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:46.879 Jennifer, you know what the big thing is. It's fun. 304 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:51.799 Yeah, and it is folks who take take in the daybreak. 305 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:55.320 They have fun.

I mean if you 313 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.559 are caregiving, so sometimes that happens. Maybe you pull a 314 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.840 little caregiving for a spouse or loved one.
