Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification

Anti-Discrimination Notice. It is illegal to discriminate against any individual (other than an alien not authorized to work in the United States) in hiring, discharging, or recruiting or referring for a fee because of that individual's national origin or citizenship status. It is illegal to discriminate against work-authorized individuals. Employers CANNOT specify which document(s) they will accept from an employee. The refusal to hire an individual because the documents presented have a future expiration date may also constitute illegal discrimination. For more information, call the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices at 1-800-255-8155.

All employees (citizens and noncitizens) hired after November 6, 1986, and working in the United States must complete Form I-9.

However, if an employer hires an individual for less than three business days, Section 2 must be completed at the time employment begins.

Prepared by the Florida Health Care Association with the assistance of the Alzheimer Resource Center of Tallahassee, Florida to meet the statutory requirement of 400.4785(1) (a) F.S.

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE (AD) AND RELATED DEMENTIAS History Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was first discovered in 1906 by a German doctor named Alois Alzheimer. It is a disorder of the brain, causing damage to brain tissue over a period of time. The disease can linger from 2 to 25 years before death results. AD is a progressive, debilitating and eventually fatal neurological illness affecting an estimated 4-5 million Americans. It is the most common form of dementing illness. Alzheimer’s disease is characterized clinically by early memory impairment followed by language and perceptual problems. This disease can affect anyone - it has no economic, social, racial or national barriers. Causes There is no one cause for Alzheimer’s disease. AD may be sporadic or passed through the genetic make-up. The disease causes gradual death of brain tissue due to biochemical problems inside individual brain cells. The symptoms are progressive, but there is great variation in the rate of change from one person to another. Although in the early stages of Alzheimer’s the victim may appear completely healthy, the damage is slowly destroying the brain cells. The hidden process damages the brain in several ways: • Patches of brain cells degenerate (neuritic plaques) • Nerve endings that transmit messages become tangled (neurofibrillary tangles) • There is a reduction in acetylcholine, an important brain chemical (neurotransmitter) • Spaces in the brain (ventricles become larger and filled with granular fluid) • The size and shape of the brain alters - the cortex appears to shrink and decay Understandably, as the brain continues to degenerate, there is a comparable loss in mental functioning. Since the brain controls all of our bodily functions, an Alzheimer victim in the later stages will have difficulty walking, talking, swallowing and controlling bladder and bowel functions. They become quite frail and prone to infections such as pneumonia. Dementia vs. Normal Aging As a person grows older, he/she worries that forgetting the phone number of a best friend must mean he/she is becoming demented or getting Alzheimer’s disease. Forgetfulness due to aging or increased stress is not normal aging and is not dementia. “Dementia” is an encompassing term for numerous forms of memory loss. There are many types of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, Multi-Infarct dementia or Parkinson’s disease. When a person has dementia, he/she will lose the ability to think reason and remember and will inevitable need assistance with everyday activities such as dressing and bathing. Changes in personality, mood are also symptoms of dementia. Many dementias are treatable and reversible. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of untreatable, irreversible dementia.

Alzheimer’s Disease - Stages of Progression Alzheimer’s Disease can be characterized as having early, middle, and late stages through which the patient gradually progresses, but not at a predictable rate. The range of the course of the disease is 2-25 years. NOTE: Stages very often overlap. Everyone progresses through these stages differently. First Stage: This is a very subtle stage usually not identified by either the impaired person or the family as the beginning signs of the disease. Subtle changes in memory and language along with some confusion occur at this time. The family usually denies or excuses the performance deficiencies at this stage. • Forgetfulness/memory loss • Impaired judgment • Trouble with routines • Lessening of initiative • Disorientation of time and places • Depression • Fearfulness • Personality change • Apraxia (forgetting how to use tools and equipment) • Anomia (forgetting the right word or name of a person) Second Stage: As Stage 1 moves onto Stage 2, there is usually a particular significant event which forces the family (and impaired person) to consider that something is really wrong. At this time, they usually go to a doctor to diagnose the problem. • Poor short-term memory • Wandering (searching for home) • Language difficulties • Increased disorientation • Social withdrawal • More spontaneity, fewer inhibitions • Agitation and restlessness, fidgeting, pacing • Developing inability to attach meaning to sensory perceptions: (taste, touch, smell, sight,

hearing) • Inability to think abstractly • Severe sleep disturbances and/or sleepiness • Convulsive seizures may develop • Repetitive actions and speech • Hallucinations • Delusions

Page 37: PLEASE DO NOT DATE ANYTHING - Nursing Care …nursingcareservicesinc.com/docs/HHA_Application.pdfIRS from W-4 or W-9 Signed Employment Application INS Form I-9 Signed Job Description

Third (Final Stage): This stage is the terminal stage and may last for months or years. The individual will eventually need total personal care. They may no longer be able to speak or recognize their closest relatives. • Little or no memory • Inability to recognize themselves in a mirror • No recognition of family or friends • Great difficulty communicating • Difficulty with coordinated movements • Becoming emaciated in spite of adequate diet • Complete loss of control of all body functions • Increased frailty • Complete dependence COMMON PROBLEMS WITH DEMENTIA Delusions

Suspiciousness: accusing others of stealing their belongings People are “out to get them”

Fear that caregiver is going to abandon (results in AD person never leaving caregiver’s side) Current living space is not “home” Hallucinations Seeing or hearing people who are not present Repetitive actions or questions They forget they asked the question Repetitive action such as wringing a towel Wandering Pacing Sundowning: trying to get “home” Generally feeling uncomfortable or restless Increased agitation at night Losing thing/Hiding things Simply do not remember where items are Might hide things so that people don’t “steal” them Inappropriate sexual behavior Person with AD loses social graces and is only doing what feels good Agnosia: inability to recognize common people or objects

A wife of forty years will become a stranger to the person with AD; he might even think she is the hired help Might not recognize a spatula or the purpose of the spatula and/or cannot verbalize the name or purpose of the object

Page 38: PLEASE DO NOT DATE ANYTHING - Nursing Care …nursingcareservicesinc.com/docs/HHA_Application.pdfIRS from W-4 or W-9 Signed Employment Application INS Form I-9 Signed Job Description

Apraxia: loss of ability to perform purposeful motor movements Cannot tie a shoe or manipulate buttons on a shirt Catastrophic reactions (Causes) AD person often becomes excessively upset and can experience rapidly changing moods. The person becomes overwhelmed due to factors such as too much noise, too many people around, unfamiliar environment, routine change, being asked to many questions, being approached from behind. (Reactions) AD person may become angry, agitated, weepy, stubborn or physically violent. It is best to attempt to avoid catastrophic reactions rather than dwell on how to handle them. HANDLING DISTURBING BEHAVIORS One of the most difficult challenges for caregivers is how to handle some of the disturbing behaviors that Alzheimer’s can cause. Symptoms such as delusion, hallucinations, angry outbursts, suspiciousness, failure to recognize familiar people and places are often the most upsetting behaviors for families. The following points may help in responding to disturbing symptoms. First, try to understand if there is a precipitating factor causing the behavior. Were there household changes, too much noise or activity, was the daily routine upset? Time of day can also affect behavior (Sundowning). Being aware of these factors can help to better plan activities or anticipate problems. 1. Keep tasks, directions and routine simple without being condescending 2. Always give the person plenty of time to respond 3. Attempt to remain calm and remind yourself that the behavior is due to the disease 4. Avoid arguing 5. Write down the answers to frequently asked questions, then remind them to look at the

message 6. Reduce environmental noise: television, radio, too many people talking 7. Use distraction when unacceptable behavior starts: bring them into a different room, start

talking about childhood or another favorite topic, show them magazines, ask them to help you do something like dusting or sweeping

8. Do not overreact or scold for problem behavior: redirect or distract 9. Be reassuring with touch, eye contact and tone of voice 10. Find the familiar: old pipe, favorite chair, family pictures 11. Avoid denying hallucinations: try non-committal comments like, “You spoke with your

mother, I miss my mother too” 12. Be sure to inform physician of hallucinations, no matter how tame 13. Restless behavior or pacing is usually unavoidable, however you can make the environment

safe by installing locks that are above reach, remove unnecessary obstacles, make sure the person is wearing some kind of identification
