AGING & DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER OF MONROE COUNTY ADRC CONNECT JUNE 2019 PAGE 1

Observed annually in June, National Safety Month focuses on reducing leading causes of injury and death at work, on the road and in our homes and communities. We provide downloadable resources highlighting a different safety topic for each week in June. Topics for 2019 are Hazard Recognition, Slips, Trips and Falls, Fatigue and Impairment.

Hazards are everywhere. Though you might not view your home as particularly ‘hazardous’, dangers are often there. You may have just become accustomed to them and aren’t seeing them.

Learn to see hazardsOnce you train yourself to spot

hazards, you’ll notice them all around you. They may not always be obvious or immediate concerns, but they can still pose a risk to you and your family. The sooner they’re fixed, the better.

• Spotting hazards is all about anticipation. Start to ask yourself, ‘If I take this action, what might happen?’

• This applies to everything from cleaning with dangerous chemicals and operating power tools to simply walking through your dining room.

• Picture yourself walking around a corner with your hands full. When you ask, ‘What might happen?’ you can anticipate risks like a family member or pet turning the corner at the same time.

Then you can take simple steps – like taking a wider turn – and completely avoid the risk.

• Plenty of hazards will be much more serious, but this same way of thinking can help you spot and avoid them. Just be willing to speak up when you see them to keep your coworkers safe.

Unseen/forgotten hazardsYour home may be up to code and

inspected, but many hidden issues can still put you at risk.

• Lighting A burnt-out bulb can keep hazards in the shadows. Even if you’re not the one to fix it, tell someone in your household about it right away.

• Temperature Plan ahead and dress appropriately for the temperatures you’ll experience in your yard or outbuildings. Watch out for other possible hazards caused by temperature, like early morning dew on concrete.

• Air quality Similar to temperature, make sure exhaust fans are running

• Overexertion Don’t overdo your cleaning or home improvement projects. Stay safe and take more breaks when working on a particularly difficult project such as demolition or when you’re cleaning the garage and lifting that heavy stuff.

Ask yourself, what other items in my home that I think are harmless could pose a hazard in the wrong hands?

Prescription opioids, cleaning supplies and other potentially harmful substances should be stored up and away and out of sight from children and pets. Rugs should be secured and your walkways should be free of clutter. If you see an issue, clean it up or fix it right away to keep your loved ones safe.

I have been working in the social work field since I graduated UW La Crosse in 1991. I have held a variety of positions from finding employment for people with disabilities, working at the Children’s Center in Milwaukee, a group home in Madison for intellectually disabled adults, to my 21+ years here at the county in Long Term Support and the ADRC. I love working with people, especially intellectually challenged adults. I also lead a class called Living Well with Chronic Conditions; this runs for 6 weeks and I hold 1-2 classes per year with my co-leader – Elizabeth. We have recently become certified to lead the Living Well with Chronic Pain class as well. My husband and I spend our free time traveling, fishing and hunting together. Last year one of my sisters and I went to Ireland for 2 weeks and had the time of our lives! We drove thru Ireland ourselves…. The car was returned in one piece, though there was some grass stuck in the mirrors – the roads are VERY narrow and driving on the other side of the road with a stick shift is quite the challenge. We made it home safely! I am the youngest of 7 children and I love kitties; I have 2 – Gus and Millie and they are our home entertainment.

For many caregivers, providing care for a loved one is something they want to do. Others feel obligated to take on the role because they value family/friendship ties profoundly and see the duty as theirs. Some caregivers struggle with difficult care recipient behaviors in the present, although the relationship history had been a good one. Yet other caregivers are “drafted” into the role and feel they have no choice but to care for an individual who has abused them.

Because our society offloads so much caregiving responsibility onto unpaid family members, difficult reversals happen more often than you might suspect. When an abused child ends up caring for their elderly parent, there is much greater caregiver burden and stress. There is also a danger that the reversal could result in abuse of the elder by the (now adult) child.

On the face of things, it seemed obvious to me that individuals caring for an abuser would be more stressed than those caring for someone who had

Eatright.org Academy of Dietetics & NutritionBy Jessica Cox, RD Published April 9, 2015

Turning on your stove is not a requirement for delicious, healthy meals at home. Whether it is the last days of summer or you are awaiting the first days of spring, Angela Lemond, RDN, CSP, LD, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, recommends using a few key kitchen gadgets to save time and keep things cool in the kitchen.

“A panini or sandwich press is a great way to get a hot and healthy meal on the table fast,” says Lemond. “Use a rice cooker to cook multiple servings of rice, quinoa or millet that can be used throughout the week as a side dish or thrown into a salad for added texture.” Other helpful tools include a microwave — which can be used to prepare vegetables such as potatoes, broccoli

and carrots — and a slow cooker, which gives off very little heat.

Lemond also suggests using precooked ingredients, such as rotisserie chicken, canned beans (first, drain and rinse the beans to reduce sodium by 41 percent) and tomatoes, and canned chicken and tuna to create quick meals in minutes. Also, hold on to leftovers to use later.

Slow Cooker Double-Duty Roast

Prepare your favorite beef or pork roast in a slow cooker, and serve half for dinner. Reserve the remaining roast to use as a filling for tacos or sandwiches later in the week. Try shredded pork tacos with salsa made with fresh pineapple, red bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice. Toss shredded beef with barbecue sauce, and serve on toasted whole-grain hamburger buns with a fresh green salad or crunchy coleslaw.

Chicken Salad Sliders

Registered dietitians Liz Weiss and Janice Bissex recommend this chicken salad for hot evenings. “Mix together chopped rotisserie chicken, toasted chopped pecans or walnuts, quartered seedless grapes, light mayonnaise,

chopped tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve on whole-grain slider buns, dinner rolls or in pita pockets.”

Turkey and Apple Waffle Sandwiches

Replace bread with whole-grain frozen waffles for a new spin on sandwich night. Prepare the waffles according to the package directions using a toaster. Combine light mayonnaise, maple syrup and Dijon mustard, and spread over the waffles. Layer with deli turkey, sliced Granny Smith apple and spring mix salad greens.

Microwave Stuffed Potatoes

Use a microwave for easy stuffed potatoes. Prick medium russet or sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave on high power for 6 to 8 minutes or until tender. Split the potatoes and scoop out some of the flesh. Add your favorite seasoning to the scooped out potato flesh, and spoon back into the potato shells. Try topping baked potatoes with guacamole, chopped tomato and cilantro, or stuff sweet potatoes with broccoli, walnuts and dried cranberries.

provided them with loving care (or at least good-enough care) as a child.

However, when I did some further research, I learned there is also an important distinction in terms of which approach may provide the most relief and support to individual caregivers.

In general, caregiver support comes in one of two forms: emotion-focused coping strategies and solution-focused coping strategies. Emotion-focused coping helps you to become less emotionally reactive to caregiving stressors or it helps change the way you experience them. One example is living in the present so you can separate past behaviors from disease-related symptoms (your mom who tended to criticize in the past is not purposely trying to harass you when she repeats things due to her memory loss). Another is finding a new way to frame your caregiving. Perhaps you will focus on your value to care for your elders rather than question the particular relationship. You may find compassion for someone who is now very frail, despite being difficult at a more robust point in their lives. However, these approaches are less effective when care is primarily driven by obligation and a feeling there is no choice.

A 2013 study published in The Gerontologist “. . . offers two important findings. First, as anticipated, caregivers who cared for their abusive/neglectful parents had more frequent depressive symptoms than caregivers with no history of abuse/neglect. Second, emotion-focused coping strategies are associated with more frequent depressive symptoms for both abused and non-abused caregivers, but the effects are somewhat stronger for abused caregivers.”

Solution-focused strategies are an alternative. They eliminate sources of stress or work with the stressors themselves. They allow for actions which can address the feeling of being trapped. These solutions may involve providing a significant break from caregiving, like respite care so the caregiver can take a weekend away from everything; or someone to stand in and provide personal cares so they don’t need to participate in intimate tasks like giving showers. The National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP) allows for these coping strategies in the form of grants for respite and supplemental services (like home modifications and assistive devices, which can increase the care recipient’s independence). Solution-focused strategies are a hallmark of the program.

When you connect with the Caregiver Program, you may make an appointment for an assessment. The discussion that ensues helps the Caregiver Coordinator hone in on what would truly make a difference to you as an individual caregiver.

Only a DadBy Edgar Guest

Only a dad with a tired face, Coming home from the daily race, Bringing little of gold or fameTo show how well he has played the game; But glad in his heart that his own rejoice To see him come and to hear his voice.

Only a dad with a brood of four, One of ten million men or more Plodding along in the daily strife, Bearing the whips and the scorns of life, With never a whimper of pain or hate, For the sake of those who at home await.

Only a dad, neither rich nor proud, Merely one of the surging crowdToiling, striving from day to day, Facing whatever may come his way, Silent whenever the harsh condemn, And bearing it all for the love of them.

Only a dad but he gives his allTo smooth the way for his children small, Doing with courage stern and grim, The deeds that his father did for him. This is the line that for him I pen: Only a dad, but the best of men.
