Alzheimer’s disease is often accompanied by behavioral and psychological symptoms 

that are not typical to other diseases. Therefore, the unique challenges for paid and 

unpaid caregivers require quality education, training and information in order to ensure 

dignity for the older adult and a quality life for both the caregiver and patient. The UAMS 

Schmieding Caregiver Training Program provides specific programs for both paid and 

unpaid caregivers for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. 

Paid caregivers can take the Alzheimer’s and dementia (AD) course that provides 

information and practical tips on managing behaviors such as wandering and resistance 

to daily hygiene. This course satisfies AR Code 21-1-701 et seq and Arkansas Department 

of Human Services Nursing Assistant Training Program commonly referred to as the 

“Barbara Broyles Alzheimer and Dementia Training.” 

Unpaid caregivers can attend free dementia family caregiver workshops that provide an 

overview of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease along with topics such as communication 

techniques, understanding behaviors, nutrition, caregiver respect, maintaining good 

quality of care and dignity for the older adult. 

A UAMS Schmieding Caregiver Training program instructor provides tips that 

contribute to maintaining respect, dignity and quality of life for the person living 

with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease during a free Family Caregiver Workshop. 

Arkansans, Alzheimer’s 

and no cure in sight 

by Sajni Kumpuris 

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s disease is the most expensive 

disease in the United States with the estimated cost for 2016 at $236 billion and is 

anticipated to rise to a trillion dollars by 2050. Alzheimer’s and related dementia care 

is provided by more than 15 million caregivers with an estimated 18.1 billion hours of 

unpaid care valued at over $221 billion. In the United States, one in three seniors will 

die from Alzheimer’s or related dementias, a 68 percent increase since 2000. (Alz.org) 

With no cure in sight, the immense financial, emotional and physical nature of this 

disease must be faced by Arkansans with great care and urgency. 

Arkansas ranks ninth in the percentage of population over age 65, with half of those 

living in rural Arkansas with inadequate medical resources. Of the 75 counties in our 

state, 22 have no hospital and 46 have only one hospital. In addition, 14 percent of 

Arkansans 60 years and older are living below the poverty level. (HPSAs) (HRSA website 

11/4/2014) 

UAMS also offers a new tour entitled Alzheimer’s/Dementia: Take a Walk in Their Shoes. 

This experience allows individuals to experience the physical and sensory disorders 

that are common in persons with Alzheimer’s disease allowing for greater empathy and 

understanding. This program can be requested for on-location training in nursing homes, 

communities of faith groups, or in collaboration with other senior events. 

Since its inception, more than 6,200 people have attended Schmieding classes, 3,274 

have graduated with certificates, and workshops have been presented to 1,238 family 

members. 

These programs are provided on location and at seven regional Centers on Aging located 

throughout the state including, Jonesboro, Pine Bluff, Texarkana, Fort Smith, Hot Springs, 

El Dorado, as well as the UAMS Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging in Little Rock. 

Arkansas is the first to offer this type of training to caregivers statewide, and the UAMS 

Schmieding program has made it a national leader in caregiver training. Developed in 

2002, the program was replicated throughout Arkansas thanks to a generous donation 

from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation to the UAMS Arkansas Aging Initiative program. 

Since 2009, the foundation has provided more than $20 million dollars to the university 

to support operation of the programs in Arkansas.

“ 

Forty-six. 

Forty-seven. 

whispered Gladys to herself 

Forty-eight,” 

as she 

counted the roses on her rosebush. 

ladys had been sitting in her 

outdoor rocking chair for more 

than three hours, watching the birds 

and just counting flowers. She was 

severely depressed, and had not slept 

much in five days. Her appetite had 

virtually gone away, and she was no 

longer responding to her friends or 

relatives who tried to call her to offer 

their condolences and support. Gladys 

lost her husband to cancer just 23 

days ago, and she was struggling to 

cope with a life without him. 

Gladys was born in 1934, and was the 

oldest of 6 children. She spent many of 

her early years helping her mother with 

her siblings. Her father worked the 

family farm, and took a second job at 

the local hardware store in town when 

Gladys was 11. us, she soon became 

a surrogate mother to her siblings, and 

they became dependent on her for 

many of life's tasks. Yet Gladys still 

managed to make good grades in 

school, excelled in math, and was on 

her way to be the first in her family to 

attend college. 

Instead, Gladys married at age 17 and 

moved many times during her adult life. 

Her husband was a salesman, but they 

fell on hard times in the 60's and Gladys 

was forced to take some work to help 

make ends meet. She and her husband 

had 4 children, one of whom had 

developmental challenges that made 

school very challenging — especially 

when the family relocated. 

Nevertheless, Gladys lived a very full 

life. But it was challenging for many 

years as she carried the weight of 

balancing a family with a husband who 

was on the road a great deal. She always 

felt supported by her husband, as she 

depended upon him for many things. 

Last year, her oldest son was killed in a 

car accident, and her daughter recently 

announced she was going through a 

divorce with 3 children of her own. And 

now the death of her husband of 64 

years was almost too much for Gladys 

to bear. 

Luckily, Gladys's son Glenn and his wife 

came by to visit her this particular day. 

Glenn could see that his mother was 

not well. She barely looked at him when 

he arrived, and did not respond to all 

his questions. Glenn noticed her 

refrigerator had few items in it, and 

what was remaining was turning to 

mold. It was clear she wasn't eating 

much, if at all. 

Glenn knew his mother needed a good 

deal of help and he called e 

BridgeWay on that Sunday afternoon to 

reach out. 

Even though Gladys lived 45 minutes 

from the hospital, they were able to 

schedule an assessment for that very 

day. Glenn drove her to the facility and 

pulled right up to the front door of 

CedarStone, the admissions building 

on campus. Gladys was inside and 

being assessed within a few minutes of 

her arrival. 

Gladys was admitted to the newly 

constructed senior care unit that was 

opened in September 2015. She was 

able to sleep in a room near the nurses 

station, and be a short distance from 

the spacious dayroom. From that 

dayroom, Gladys could see the plethora 

of trees and the colorful flowers 

growing outside. She was quite the 

gardener at home before her life was 

changed by her husband's death. 

While at the Senior Unit, she met others 

her age, some of whom had also 

recently lost loved ones. She ate dinner 

with others, and began to socialize both 

at dinnertime and in group. And she 

was stabilized on medications by her 

psychiatrist who specializes in 

psychiatric care for older adults. 

Gladys improved markedly 

and was discharged after 

9 days in the program. 

Since her discharge, 

she has followed 

up with a 

psychiatrist 

to remain 

stabilized. 

In an even bolder step, she made the 

decision to move into a retirement 

community where she is able socialize 

and make friends. “I know that I need 

people around me to comfort me, to cry 

with me, to talk with me,” Gladys wrote 

in her letter addressed to the staff at 

e BridgeWay. She continued in her 

letter, “I know about loss because I lived 

it, but I now know how to live life 

because I almost lost it. I am better 

because of you, and I thank you.” 

Months after her treatment at e 

BridgeWay, Gladys sees her family often 

and has found a new family to help her 

cope. She still misses her husband and 

the home they built 45 years ago. But 

Gladys sought the help she needed and 

is building a new life for herself. n

New Sensor 

Technology 

Brings Best 

Fit to Senior 

Prosthesis 

Wearers 

by Judy Otto 

When one considers that a lower limb prosthesis bears 100% of the body’s weight 

while walking, it is not surprising that achieving a perfect fit of the prosthetic socket 

to the wearer’s leg is essential. Even small irregularities and mismatches in that fit 

can cause discomfort, skin irritation or tissue damage from the friction due to shifting and 

slippage. Now, wearers of lower limb prostheses have reason to rejoice, with the advent of a 

new scanner that allows a fit as close to perfect as possible. 

Prosthetic technology has made amazing strides, especially over the last two decades, as 

improved methods of capturing the three-dimensional features of an amputee’s residual 

limb have been developed. Every residual limb is different, with a bony structure and surface 

topography that must be matched as closely as possible within the socket of its prosthesis to be 

comfortable. 

The recent introduction of the Omega ® Structure Sensor offers prosthesis an opportunity 

to capture three-dimensional shapes in greater detail than ever before. Extremely compact, 

lightweight, and portable, the device can be attached to an iPad and used to scan a person’s 

residual limb in seconds. 

Designed for capturing detail, the sensor’s scanned image of the leg can then be used by a 

CAD (computer-aided drafting) system to design an exceptionally detailed and accurate socket 

shape to fit the limb more intimately. 

Created by WillowWood®, and partnered with a custom-designed app, the Structure Sensor is 

the first 3D sensor for mobile devices to be used in the orthotic and prosthetic industry. It uses 

infrared structure light to capture an object which is then generated by the scan app as a 3D 

image onscreen. 

Jason Eddy, Licensed Prosthetist-Orthotist, Orthotic Fitter, and 

BOC Prosthetist for Snell Prosthetic & Orthotic Laboratory in 

Hot Springs, explained that because the sensor is able to take 

scans that capture such exceptionally accurate detail, it has 

great potential for other applications that may benefit seniors. 

“Although we’re using it primarily for below-knee and aboveknee 

prosthetic applications, there’s certainly a future benefit to 

be derived from using the sensor to create some orthotics, such 

as cranial reshaping orthoses and custom knee braces with 

a much faster turnaround time. It can be used to scan virtually 

anything – and at a lower cost than a traditional scanner,” 

Eddy noted, “so it’s not only more accurate, it’s efficient and 

economical from a technical perspective.” 

Frank Snell, CPO, FAAOP scans Ron 

Walter’s residual limb using the Omega ® 

Structure Scanner. The detailed scanned 

image will be input into Snell Laboratory’s 

CAD system to fabricate an exceptionally 

accurate prosthetic socket. 

The sensor is placed over an iPad’s camera unit, and the 

combined iPad-plus-scanner unit can be passed around any three-dimensional object (such 

as a residual limb), taking multiple photos that it is able to blend seamlessly into an extremely 

accurate three-dimensional image. 

“Previous scanners would take four pictures and overlay them, with less detail at the ‘corner’ seams 

– leaving some additional work for the prosthetist to do in order to ensure an accurate customized fit. 

The Structure Sensor captures so much detail that the socket it designs should provide total contact – 

100% all over,” Eddy reported,“ – without significant hand modifications.” 

One of the problem areas where below-knee prosthesis-wearers 

often experience discomfort is around the knee. The bony shape of 

the knee can vary greatly between individuals, and has proved difficult 

to capture by other methods, Eddy noted. Often, the fabricated socket 

would have to be manually heat adjusted to provide a comfortable fit 

at that weight-bearing point on the residual limb. An accurate initial 

capture of the natural shape eliminates the need for such adjustments. 

Eddy has already put the new technology to work on behalf of 

several prosthetic patients, and claims that there is a unanimous 

consensus: “They’re really, really pleased!” he said. “They are 

enjoying a lot better quality fit, because of the greater detail the 

sensor is able to pick up.” 

Eddy happily offers demonstrations of the scanner’s prowess 

and strongly recommends that prosthesis-wearers who are 

experiencing discomfort should schedule an assessment 

visit with their prosthetist, and ask for a Structure Sensor scan, if 

available.

Rental 

Assistance for 

Low Income 

Seniors Ages 

62 and older 

BY ELIZABETH LOPEZ 

One of the most fundamental needs of very low income elderly nationwide is 

safe, decent, affordable housing with supportive services. HUD helps private 

apartment owners, such as the non-profit Christopher Homes of Arkansas, 

offer reduced rents to low-income elderly and disabled. You can go to the 

hud.gov website to search for private subsidized apartments in the U.S. 

Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the 

privately owned subsidized senior housing programs. 

What are HUD 202 eligibility requirements for moving into an apartment? For the Project 

Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC established in 1991) apartments, occupancy is open to 

very low-income households which include at least one person 62 years or older. 

For the Section 8/202 apartments, occupancy is open also to mobility impaired 

age 18 and older who needs an apartment with the features necessary to 

accommodate the mobility impaired as verified by a health provider. 

Are there exceptions to the age & income eligibility requirements? 

• Some properties have age waivers for 50 years instead of 62. 

• Some properties have income waivers for persons with low income 

instead of very low income. 

• Some properties have both age and income waivers. Christopher 

Homes currently has eight properties that have both income and age 

waivers. 

What other eligibility requirements are there? HUD will not subsidize the rent of a 

person who: 

• Has been evicted from HUD housing in the last three years (except for 

special circumstances); 

• Currently uses illegal drugs or abuses alcohol; 

• Is classified as a sex offender. 

Management Companies can also impose their own eligibility criteria based on 

Landlord, Credit and Criminal Background Screening. 

How do I know if I am income eligible to move into Senior Housing with Rental Assistance? Go to 

www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/il/il14/index.html and select the county and state 

where you would like to live. Review the chart for your household count to see if 

you are income eligible. Your annual income must be 50% or less of the median 

income for your household size. Income waivers allow the income to be 80% or less 

of the median income. 

How many persons can live in a HUD subsidized 202 household? Occupancy standards 

are established by the housing provider, but the general rule is two persons 

per bedroom unless the apartment is too small for two, such as a studio. 

Christopher Homes properties are ground level garden terraces that include 

studios and one bedroom apartments. 

How is my rent calculated? A household will pay the highest of the following 

amounts: 

• 30% of the family’s monthly adjusted income; 

• 10% of the family’s monthly income or 

• $25 minimum rent. 

What are my rights as a resident of a HUD-subsidized 202 apartment? A resident 

has rights involving their apartment, resident organizations, and 

nondiscrimination. For apartment living, rights include 

• The right to live in decent, safe, and sanitary housing that is free from 

environmental hazards such as lead-based paint hazards. 

• The right to have repairs performed in a timely manner upon request 

and to have a quality maintenance program run by management. 

• The right to be given reasonable notice, in writing, of any 

nonemergency inspection or other entry into your apartment. 

Christopher Homes does not discriminate and provides equal and fair 

treatment and use of our building services and facilities, without regard to 

race, color, religion, gender, disability, familial status (children under 18), and 

national origin (ethnicity or language). 

What is the Service Coordinator Program? Service Coordinators are an integral part 

of the services we provide. A Service Coordinator is responsible for assuring 

that elderly residents especially those frail or at risk, and those non-elderly 

residents with disabilities are linked to the supportive services they need to 

continue living independently in their current homes. Christopher Homes 

currently operates 10 properties that facilitate a Service Coordinator program. 

The mission of Christopher Homes is to mobilize available public, private and 

human resources to provide basic necessities including supportive services and 

other enrichment activities for the well-being of those we serve.

PHYSICAL 

FITNESS AND 

THE GOLDEN 

YEARS 

BY SHARON TURRENTINE, 

HONORARY CHAIRMAN, 

LOUISIANA GOVERNOR’S 

COUNCIL ON PHYSICAL 

FITNESS AND SPORTS 

34 

Hey there, I want to 

talk to you about Physical 

Fitness and the Golden 

Years. A physical fitness lifestyle includes three equal phases of physical training 

which are Nutrition, Aerobic Activities and Strength Training. Let’s start with the 

hardest. 

Nutrition or “diet” is defined in the dictionary as Habitual Nourishment. So 

WHATEVER you are eating IS your diet. Sensible healthy choices and proper portions 

are the key ingredients here. Do not go back for seconds. Listen to your brain and 

resist all junk food. You do not need them! As a reminder, watch out for sodium as 

we only need 500 mg’s per day. I recommend you eat right 7 days a week. 

Aerobic Type Activity is any activity done 20 minutes or longer that elevates the 

heart rate. A brisk walk is aerobic activity. Choose something you are willing to do 

and continue to do it. If available and you are able, swimming or just playing in the 

pool for 20 minutes or more is great for the muscles. 

Strength training is only accomplished by lifting weights that create tone and 

firm the muscles to make your body stronger. Any activity that you do continuously 

and consistently that works the muscle is a Builder. I recommend you do your 

strength training at least 3 days a week. 

Set your long term goals and short ones too. Don’t try to make all these 

changes the first day. Make a schedule of what you plan to do and gradually 

change your habits. The main goal here is to improve the quality of YOUR life 

and most likely extend it too. 

If you are truly trying to lose weight, then weight yourself once a week, not daily, 

and at the same day and time each week. The complete physical fitness lifestyle and 

better health will be your Reward. Try it, what have you got to lose?

Nursing Home Crisis Planning 

What you must know before you apply for Medicaid 

If you or a loved one is permanently in the nursing home or about to go to a 

nursing home, how do you plan to pay $5,000 to $7,000 per month for care? 

If you don’t have enough income the nursing home will suggest you apply for 

Medicaid to help you pay for care. However, never apply for Medicaid or allow 

the Nursing Home to apply for Medicaid unless you are very sure you will qualify. 

If you can answer yes to any of these questions below, you probably will not 

qualify for Medicaid. 

Medicaid Eligibility Checklist 

* Do own a home in a Revocable or Irrevocable Trust? 

* Have you transferred any assets to a trust within the last 60 months? 

* Do you have any assets in a Revocable Trust? 

* Do you own any real-estate (personal or commercial) besides your primary residence? 

* Do you own any real-estate (personal or commercial) outside of Arkansas? 

* Have you sold any property for less than fair market value within the last 60 months? 

* Have you given any real-estate to anyone as a gift within the last 60 months? 

* Have you given any monies to anyone as a gift within the last 60 months? 

* Have you added anyone’s name to any property within the last 60 months? 

* Do you have any financial accounts (bank, CDs, brokerage) with more than $2,000? 

* Have you added anyone’s name to any financial accounts or assets within the last 

60 months? 

* Have you removed your name from any existing financial accounts or assets within 

the last 60 months? 

* Have you made any gifts or transfers to any individual or group within the last 

60 months? 

* Do you own life insurance with more than $1,500 cash surrender value? 

* Do you own a boat, trailer, tractor, ATV, or farm equipment? 

* Do you own a vehicle (personal or commercial) besides your primary transportation 

vehicle? 

When the nursing home applies for Medicaid both they and you assume 

Medicaid will pay all the way back to the date you applied for Medicaid. If you 

are approved this is true, but if you are not approved for Medicaid you now owe 

the nursing home all the way back to the date you applied for Medicaid. 

In short you may owe the nursing home from $10,000 to $70,000 because you 

did not qualify for Medicaid the first time. You probably did not qualify because 

you could answer yes to one or more of the above questions. To solve all these 

problems and issues you will need a qualified Elder Law Attorney to help you 

before you apply for Medicaid to make sure all of your i’s are dotted and all your 

t’s are crossed so you qualify the first time you apply. 

The Home Protection Plan 

How to Protect your Home from the Government and Nursing Home 

while you are recovering in nursing home rehabilitation 

Each year many Arkansans go to a nursing home and slowly go broke. How 

does this happen? For example take the couple with a $150,000 home, $50,000 

in savings and a monthly income of $3000. The Husband had a stroke and went 

to nursing home rehab for 6 weeks then returned home. Three years later the 

Husband had another stroke and is now in the nursing home permanently. The 

wife needs $2,000 for her monthly living expenses while the Husband’s nursing 

home costs is an additional $5,000 per month. With $7,000 of expenses they 

must take $4,000 out of their savings each month. In 12 months all $50,000 of 

their savings are gone. This is what happens without a Home Protection Plan. 

The Home Protection Plan: What if the first time the Husband went to nursing 

home for 6 weeks he pre-qualified for Medicaid before returning home. 

(A Home Protection Plan) 

By pre-qualifying for Medicaid while in Rehab this couple can guarantee the 

protection of their home from the government and the nursing home from future 

long term care costs. 

Unfortunately not just anyone can pre-qualify for Medicaid anytime they 

want. You can only pre-qualify for Medicaid while you are living in a nursing 

home such as Rehab. Once the pre-qualifying paperwork is done the nursing 

home spouse can return home and know for sure that no matter what happens 

in the future neither the government nor the nursing home can ever take their 


38 



home. Three years later if the Husband has another stroke and is permanently 

in the nursing home he is guaranteed the home is protected and the Husband 

will quickly qualify for Medicaid to help pay his nursing home bill. The Home 

Protection Plan will also protect the home if the wife permanently goes to a 

nursing home and assure that she will quickly qualify for Medicaid to help pay 

her nursing home bill. 

With this option in mind, if you or a loved one goes to nursing home rehab, 

this could be your golden opportunity to pre-qualify for Medicaid and protect 

your home from the government and the nursing home. To pre-qualify for 

Medicaid you will need a qualified Elder Law Attorney to make sure all of your 

i’s are dotted and all your t’s are crossed and all your paperwork is in order. If 

your paperwork is wrong you have lost your best and easiest chance to protect 

your home. You must get it right the first time. There are no second chances. 

To take advantage of this golden opportunity you should contact a qualified Elder 

Law Attorney as soon as you know you will be leaving the hospital and going to a 

nursing home for rehabilitation.

Massage Therapy for Seniors 

By Beth Gohlson, LMT 

42 

Our population ages daily. Not just the population in general, but each and every 

human body. The search and desire to stay healthy and live pain free remains attainable. 

Have you ever stood up from your chair with a groan while holding your lower back? 

Or perhaps you miss being able to turn your head to the side comfortably to check for 

oncoming cars in the other lane. Does the thought of bending over and tying your shoes 

ever seem like a chore? Massage therapy is a natural way to relieve discomfort and 

increase a positive way of life. As lifestyles become less active joints become stiff and 

sore. Massage Therapy increases joint mobility and range of motion. 

Massage therapists work to relieve muscle tightness, spasms or cramps. 

As the muscle relaxes, blood and oxygen flow into the targeted area. This relieves pain 

and increases circulation. The therapist will primarily use his/her hands and fingers to 

massage and stretch muscles and soft tissue in order to accomplish the desired relief. 

Sometimes heat, electronic devices, cupping or tools may even be used. 

A massage should not be painful! It is important to communicate with your massage 

therapist. If the pressure, stretch or a certain manipulation is uncomfortable, you should 

let the therapist know immediately. Everyone has a different pain tolerance or level of 

pressure that is considered pleasurable. Communication is a must! 

The power of touch can never be underestimated. Research shows that those who are 

physically touched on a regular basis have more of the hormone oxytocin. This hormone 

helps lower stress, anxiety and blood pressure. It also increases pain tolerance. This 

leads to a sense of calm and well being. 

Regular scheduled massages have been demonstrated to have the following positive 

effects: 

• Management of chronic pain 

• Help with clarity and focus 

• Relief of stress and anxiety 

• Management of depression 

• Enhanced quality of sleep 

• Headache relief 

• Increased joint mobility 

• Increased circulation 

• Reduction of general 

discomfort 

Receiving massages is a powerful and natural way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The 

benefits are too numerous to count, both physical and psychological.

Area Agency on Aging Offers Many 

Free Services Benefiting Seniors 

By Billie Holsomback 

Area Agency on Aging of West Central Arkansas is a private non-profit charitable 

organization that provides an information and referral service for seniors 60 and older. 

Area Agencies on Aging were created across the United States in 1974, as a result of the 

previously passed Older Americans Act. The office in Malvern is located at 906 Dyer St. There 

are four other offices in the West Central region located Hot Springs, Arkadelphia, Russellville 

and Morrilton. 

At Area Agency on Aging we 

are dedicated to helping seniors 

live independent, meaningful 

and dignified lives. The 

specialized home-care that 

AAA provides allows seniors or 

disabled adults to stay in their 

homes, even as their physical 

abilities become limited. This 

type of care is for home-bound 

seniors who are in need of 

assistance in their homes and 

prevents or delays placement of 

the senior in a nursing home. 

This allows the senior to retain the independence and dignity that is so critical to their quality 

of life. Our certified personal care aides are supervised by a registered nurse who specializes in 

personal care needs. Each client is visited every 60 days by a registered nurse to monitor the 

quality of the services they are receiving, as well as making sure the senior’s evolving needs are 

being met. 

In addition, Case Managers visit clients regularly to help ensure they have everything that we 

can provide to help them be safe and happy in their homes. The Case Managers are knowledgeable 

about the problems of aging, as well as the resources and services that are available to help 

this special population such as transportation resources. Many clients are Medicaid eligible, 

but a growing number pay for their services or have long term care insurance that pays for 

the care. AAA provides free assessments that identify the senior’s needs and provide solutions 

tailored to fit those needs. 

The Case Managers also sign seniors up for Meals on Wheels, which are prepared, served and 

delivered by the local senior centers. The two local senior centers are primarily funded by the 

Area Agencies on Aging. 

The agency’s senior companion program offers friendship, light housekeeping, meal 

preparation and limited transportation at no cost to seniors who qualify. The volunteer 

driven program matches clients with volunteers – all seniors themselves – to further 

help the client remain in their own homes as long as possible. Volunteers are needed for this 

important program. Senior Companions must be 55 and over and be able to serve between 15 

and 40 hours a week. They receive a small stipend for their time, mileage reimbursement and 

accident and liability insurance while on duty. Formal experience is not needed. Time, compassion 

and the desire to help seniors are the main qualifications. 

Another program of 

the Agency, the Family 

Caregiver Grant Program, 

offers short-term help 

and respite for caregivers. 

The grants are distributed 

yearly and help caregivers 

pay for respite care. It’s 

one of many resources 

available at AAA for family 

members caring for their 

loved ones at home. 

The agency supports 

14 senior activity centers 

across its 10-county region, offering home-delivered Meals on Wheels, group meals, socialization, 

recreational and educational activities, and other services to seniors. AAA Case Managers 

assess clients’ eligibility for the home-delivered Meals on Wheels service and AAA provides 

support for this program through the Senior Centers. 

The agency’s long-term care ombudsmen advocate for seniors in long term care facilities 

and assisted living facilities ensuring residents are well-cared for and any issues are 

resolved. They see that resident councils are in place, resident rights are respected and 

family members’ concerns are addressed. The Agency is currently seeking Volunteer Ombudsmen. 

If you are interested in lending your voice for seniors for two to four hours a week and 

helping protect nursing home residents please call today. 

Most of the services provided by AAA are free to the recipient and those that are not can be 

covered by Medicaid, private insurance or private payment. 

For information on these and other programs offered by the agency, call 501-337- 

1711, or 1-800-467-2170, visit the agency’s web site at www.seniorspecialists.org or follow 

the agency on Facebook, under “Area Agency on Aging of West Central Arkansas.”

An Update from 

United States Senator Tom Cotton 

For Seniors in Arkansas 

Five Important Tips for Seniors to help protect yourself from 

fraud and having your hard earned money and life savings 

conned out of you by cruel and heartless scammers! 

1 

2 

3 

4 

5 

Always talk with a trusted family member or professional financial advisor 

before making large purchases, donations or financial investments. 

Beware of television advertisements and be skeptical of all unsolicited offers 

regarding YOUR money. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. 

There is no free in free. 

Add your phone number to the government’s “Do Not Call List”, and you can 

do this for free by visiting www.DoNotCall.gov, or by calling 1-888-382-1222 

from the phone number you want to register. 

Never, ever give out your credit card number or personal information over the 

phone especially if it is a solicited call. Do not agree to anything by phone!! 

If you bank or pay bills by phone, use hard to guess passwords. Never 

disclose your account numbers or personal information by email, especially 

if the request appears to come from your bank or any other company you 

do business with. Never hesitate to call them back to ask if the message is 

legitimate. 

Schemes used to defraud Seniors can be convincing and sometimes even threatening, so 

it is important to stay alert to guard your money. Remember to safeguard your personal 

information, and ignore all unsolicited offers and requests especially for money. In your 

favor do not be embarrassed to discuss large financial decisions with someone trustworthy 

that will help you make sure it is the right choice for you. Getting two opinions will help 

guide you to that choice and ease your mind at the same time. 

I serve on the Senate Committee on Aging, a special committee focused on 

policies relating to older Americans. We’ve been hard at work over the last several 

months and I wanted to take this opportunity to give you an update on the issues that 

impact Arkansas’s seniors. 

You may remember from my last update that the committee is particularly 

focused on scams targeting the senior community. Earlier this year, we held a hearing 

examining ways to prevent drug traffickers from tricking seniors into doing their 

bidding and smuggling drugs. Following the hearing, I joined several other members 

of the committee in asking Secretary of State Kerry to provide assistance from the 

State Department to seniors who have fallen victim to a drug smuggling scam. 

Following our letter, the State Department intervened in the case of a retired pastor 

from Maine and J. Bryon Martin was released from a Spanish prison after nearly a 

year. 

Recently, the committee also looked at new ways to promote financial security 

and stability in the senior community. During this hearing, I discussed the American 

Savings Promotion Act, a law I passed when I served in the House of Representatives. 

The American Savings Promotion Act allowed states to offer savings promotion 

raffles, or prize-linked savings accounts, to encourage people to open savings 

accounts. I was pleased to hear from Brian Plum, a bank executive and witness at 

the hearing, that this legislation is an important tool in efforts to promote financial 

solvency among seniors. 

Finally, I was pleased to support and help pass a bill in the Senate designating June 

15, 2016 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. While a small gesture, this resolution 

can help bring awareness to the fact that nationwide it is estimated that one in every 

ten adults over sixty fall victim to some sort of abuse, neglect or exploitation. I am 

hopeful that this resolution will help bring attention to this important issue. And help 

put a stop to this crime. 

As always, I want to hear from you about issues affecting you. Please be sure and 

contact my office with any questions or concerns or to simply express your opinion. 

As a reminder, my offices in Arkansas stand ready and able to assist casework 

problems that you may have—such as filing a claim with the VA or the Social 

Security Administration. You can find contact information and stay up-to-date on the 

happenings of the Senate and the Senate Committee on Aging by visiting my website, 

cotton.senate.gov or calling (202) 224-2353.

Assisted Living 

Monthly Annually 

Married Veteran $2,054 $24,648 

Single Veteran $1,732 $20,784 

Widow of Veteran $1,113 $13,356 

Benefits are paid directly to Veteran or Widow, are retroactive to date of application and 

are TAX FREE. 

1. MILITARY SERVICE REQUIRED DURING WARTIME: The Veteran served 90 days of 

active duty with at least one day during a declared state of war. Eligible Dates are: 

WWI April 16, 1917 – November 11, 1918 

WWII December 7, 1941 – December 31, 1946 

Korea June 27, 1950 – January 31, 1955 

Vietnam August 5, 1964 – May 7, 1975 

Gulf/Iraq August 2, 1990 – Present 

2. MEDICAL QUALIFICATIONS: The Veteran or widow must be over age 65 and 

have at least one or more significant health problems. In my experience I have found 

about 90% of those over age 70 qualify medically and about 60% of those ages 65-70 

qualify medically. Your personal physician must complete the proper VA paperwork to 

determine if you qualify medically. 

3. ASSET QUALIFICATIONS: The Veteran or widow can qualify for the full benefit 

and own a Home, Car, Household Goods and Furnishings and up to $80,000 of savings 

and investments. The exact amount of savings and investments they can have will 

differ from Veteran to Veteran because the formula is based on the Veteran’s age, life 

expectancy, current income and monthly medical expenses. Veterans who are over 

the asset limit may spend some of their money (Countable Resources) on things such 

as home improvements, a new automobile (Non-Countable Resources) or pay off 

existing debt in order to qualify. Fortunately, at this time, gifts to children can be made 

to reduce a Veteran’s Resources and this is not a disqualifying gift. However Congress is 

considering making gifts a disqualifying event. This has not occurred yet and Veterans 

who apply before any change in the law would not be disqualified by making a gift 

to their children. Caution: Gifts to children can have adverse tax consequences and 

assets gifted to children can be lost if the child is sued, divorced or files bankruptcy. A 

properly structured gift trust can protect these assets gifted to a child from being lost to 

such mishaps. 

4. INCOME QUALIFICATIONS: 

The amount of Monthly Benefit a 

Veteran or widow can qualify for 

is partially based on their current 

income and medical expenses, but 

you don’t have to be impoverished. 

I have found about 40% of my 

clients will qualify for some or all of 

the benefit without any planning. 

They simply need direction on 

how to go about applying for the 

benefit. Another 40% of my clients 

will qualify immediately with a 

little planning and 20% will not 

qualify at all because they have 

very good income or minimal 

medical expenses. However, most 

of these 20% will qualify in the 

future as their Medical expenses 

increase and if they are currently in 

need of In-Home Care or Assisted 

Living these medical expenses will 

usually qualify them for some or 

all of the benefit. The other 80% 

of my clients will typically receive 

the maximum VA benefit at the 

time they require In-Home Care or 

Assisted Living because In-Home 

Care and Assisted Living are 

considered medical expenses. 

If you or a loved one is currently in 

need of In-Home Care or Assisted 

Living consider these programs and 

the benefits they may provide. Getting 

the help you need right now 

may prevent or at least delay the 

necessity of Nursing Home Care in 

the future.

How to Plan? Funeral Service Burial Cremation Cemetery

VETERAN VA BURIAL BENEFITS 

Veteran burial benefits must be requested, generally in writing, they 

are not automatic, and can take considerable time and effort for your 

family. Your local Dignity Memorial provider can assist with exactly what 

you are entitled to receive as a Veteran. 

Consider: 

• US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Benefits do not cover all the 

funeral or cremation arrangement of honorably discharged Veterans. 

• A “Report of Separation from the Armed Forces of the United States” 

(discharge paper) is required to verify military service. 

• A Veteran’s family may request a United States flag, at no cost, to 

drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased Veteran. One 

flag per veteran. 

• Military funeral honors ceremonies must be scheduled in advance and 

include the folding and presentation to the United States flag and the 

playing of “Taps”. 

• The VA and other branches of service do not provide a free casket for a 

deceased Veteran, unless death occurs while on active duty. 

• A “Presidential Memorial Certificate” signed by the current President, 

must be requested by the deceased veteran’s next of kin and loved 

ones. 

• Monetary Burial benefits are limited if you choose not to be buried in 

a VA national cemetery. If the death is service-related, up to $2,000.00 

may be paid for burial expenses. 

• Eligibility requirement for burial in a VA National Cemetery have caveats 

but include: an assigned gravesite (if available), opening and closing 

of the grave, a grave liner for casketed remains, a Government headstone 

or marker and perpetual care at no cost to the family. 

• If a Veteran burial is in a private cemetery, headstones, markers or medallions 

must be requested. 

• Replacement of military service medals, awards and decoration must 

be requested in writing. 

Contact the NPRC at 1-866-272-6272 or go to www.archives.gov, 

or any Dignity Memorial provider to receive the Veteran SF 180 

burial form and additional information. 

How to Make 

Caregiving 

Easier 

THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLER THAN YOU MIGHT IMAGINE… 

No one has to tell the more than 65 million Americans who provide unpaid care to 

loved ones with chronic illness that their job is difficult, stressful and exhausting — 

physically and emotionally. 

Nor do caregivers (full- or part-time) need to hear yet again that they must build a 

support system so they can take breaks to pamper themselves from time to time. What 

caregivers need most are methods for making the day-to-day act of caregiving a little 

less exhausting. 

What often gets overlooked: With the grueling demands of caregiving —whether it’s 

shopping, handling a loved one’s finances or helping with bathing and dressing — it’s 

easy to overlook the critical aspect of effective communication. 

So often, it’s the misunderstandings, hurt feelings and unspoken expectations that 

drain precious energy from the caregiver at the very time he/she needs it most. Here 

are eight secrets to help caregivers...* 

Set the ground rules. It’s common for caregiving to begin with a 

SECRET #1 

general intention of “helping out.” However, the needs of your loved 

one are bound to grow over time. That’s why it is crucial for every caregiving arrangement 

(even with a spouse) to have a written agreement, initiated by the caregiver with 

input and consent from the loved one. What are you, as the caregiver, able and willing 

to do? How much time can you realistically commit to providing care? When creating 

the agreement, which can be reviewed and changed periodically, remind the ill person 

that it will help protect the relationship and prevent misunderstandings. 

Don’t give in. Whether it’s eating a food that’s not on his diet or 

SECRET #2 

stopping physical therapy, it’s tempting to allow a chronically ill 

person to have his way just to keep the peace. Do not do it. Instead, try to figure out 

the reason for the request. Listen closely and then repeat the request, so the person 

knows you’re paying attention. Take some time to consider the request, even when 

you know the answer is no. 

When you do tell the person no, be firm but explain your reasons so you don’t come 

across as arbitrary. Try to find another way to address the request in a safer and/or 

more appropriate way. If the person is, say, asking to eat spicy foods that you know 

upset his stomach, offer to contact a nutritionist for advice on what else he can eat. 


52 



SECRET #3 

Pay attention to body language. In many cases, a person may say 

one thing but really be feeling something else. For example, your 

loved one may say that he likes the meal you’ve prepared, but his fidgeting at the table 

most likely indicates that he feels frustrated with the food choice or perhaps the table 

setup. Or your loved one may say that he feels comfortable taking a walk in the backyard, 

but if he’s looking down when he makes the statement, he may, in fact, feel unsafe. 

Be attuned 

to these signals, 

and you’ll be better 

able to meet 

that person’s real 

needs. 

SECRET #4 

Practice listening. 

Many chronically 

ill people 

are angry about 

what they’re experiencing 

and 

need to vent. As 

the caregiver, one of your primary roles is to simply listen. (If you are a family member, it 

may be appropriate for you to help find a solution or look for someone who can.) 

Let your loved one know that you’re willing to listen, as long as he’s not hurting or 

attacking you. If you get frustrated, say, “OK, I need to leave now. But I’ll be back in a 

while.” By saying you’ll be back, you let the person know you’re still in a relationship 

with him. 

Apologize if you’re wrong. If you’re spending a lot of time with a 

SECRET #5 

loved one, chances are you’ll forget to follow through on a request, 

act irritated when you should not or do something else at some point that will offend 

or hurt that person. If this occurs, give the person an opportunity to air his grievance. 

Never interrupt. After hearing out the person, repeat what he has said back to him. If 

it’s obvious that you offended your loved one, apologize immediately and sincerely. 

If your fault is less obvious, offer to think about what your loved one has said and let 

him know that you’ll discuss it further the next day. When the time comes, explain 

what you think happened and let the person know that you didn’t intend to hurt 

him. Sometimes, the person may simply be looking to vent his feelings and not even 

expect an apology. 

Use the power of 

SECRET #6 

touch. Day-to-day 

caregiving can easily focus so much on 

the chores that need to be done that 

the relationship you have with the ill 

person gets somewhat neglected. In 

these cases, touch can be a powerful 

antidote. Simply holding someone’s 

hand can ease sadness. A peck on the 

cheek shows you’re happy to see your 

loved one. Touching shows acceptance, 

compassion and caring—and 

the result is a stronger bond between 

you and your loved one. Make sure the 

touch is appropriate to your relationship, 

and avoid touching anyone who 

dislikes physical contact. 

Let your loved 

SECRET #7 

one cry. Crying is 

a normal reaction to the sadness and 

suffering that often result from chronic 

illness. Even men need to cry. When 

someone cries, don’t interrupt him with, 

“Why are you crying?” or “Don’t cry.” 

Simply sit silently and look empathetic. 

Interrupt only if you’re handing the 

person a tissue. 

When the tears stop, wait awhile and then say, “I can see you’re very disturbed, and 

this makes me feel for you.” While leaning forward with an expectant look on your face, 

say, “Is there anything you’d like to talk about?” Don’t force your loved one to explain 

the tears. Often, a good cry is all it takes to ease distressful feelings. 

Avoid confrontation. Do your best to avoid clashes, especially over 

SECRET #8 

minor issues. Use phrases such as, “As I see it…” or “In my opinion…” 

to suggest that you are giving your opinion, not hard facts. If you do have an 

argument, stay calm. Allow the other person to talk—or show anger as long as it isn’t 

excessive or abusive — uninterrupted. When he finishes, calmly explain your position. 

If the conversation is still heated, suggest that you save the discussion for later when 

he calms down.

*These recommendations are not necessarily effective for people with dementia — seek the advice of 

a geriatric psychologist if you are caregiving for someone affected by this disorder, which may affect 

his/her ability to communicate effectively.

transferred to a debit 

card and you simply swipe 

the card at your store to 

purchase the good food 

SNAP helps older Arkansans afford good 

food for good health.

you toss a $16 coupon if it were in the newspaper? The average 

monthly SNAP benefit for households with older Arkansans is $76 

per month.
