The Benefit of Support Groups

Receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia is a life changing moment for both the diagnosed and those close to them. It often comes with a sense of confusion and can be overwhelming for all involved.

A support group geared towards those in this place in life can be of benefit to help with this difficult journey. Support groups offer a multitude of different benefits and can be a source of ongoing support as things progress through each stage of the disease. The following are some key benefits to attending a support group.

Meet and get to know

One of the most rewarding offshoots of the Grade 7 Challenge program at Loughborough Public School has its roots in the Grace Centre Garden.Last January, SFCSC and Janette Haase, the Grace Centre’s Garden Facilitator, asked teacher Alan Mac-donald if he would consider bringing his students to help establish the commu-nity food bank garden and greenhouse.Macdonald thought it was a great fit for Chal-lenge North, an en-richment program for gifted students in Grades 7 and 8.“What we teach we try to ground in the real world,” Macdonald explained. “The garden seemed like the perfect project to work on, growing food and sending it to SFCSC's Food Bank and Adult Day Programs.”

Thank-you to the Ontario Association of Food Banks (OAFB) for donating $500 to us through their Rural Kids Grant Program. This money will help support our efforts in feeding families and their children. We will be using the proceeds to provide nutritious lunch items for children to take to school. As our Food Bank continues to grow, support like this is vital to help us keep up with the demand. Over 762 households came to our food bank last year - up 80% in the past 2 years. We continue to see an increase this year and serve more than 70 children a month. Thank you to the OAFB and all those in our community who help support SFCSC's Food Bank.

Food Bank Volunteers Needed!

As the demand for our Food Bank continues our need for donations also increases.

Right now we especially need hygiene items such as shampoo and soap. If you have any of the hotel gift bottles of shampoo, conditioner etc. they would be greatly appreci-ated.

We are also in need of more Food Bank volunteers to assist us with the ever growing increase in demand.

Jobs are varied, from sorting and putting away food, packing food hampers, dividing up of food, check-ing outdates, giving out food, pick-ing up and delivering food, and also assisting with food drives.

25th Annual General Meeting

Come join us on Wednesday June 18, 2014 for SFCSC’s 25th AGM. Once again, it will be a breakfast affair, starting at 7:30 with our keynote speaker at 8:00.

Help us celebrate the successes and growth of 25 years of serving residents of rural Kingston and Frontenac County as well as the touchdown of our first ever Enhancement Cam-paign.

To help us celebrate these past 25 years, I ask for and welcome any stories or anecdotes you have that you are willing to share. It would be a great idea to put together a collection of your experiences with SFCSC (good or bad) to share with all of our clients, supporters and the community at the AGM. I have already challenged a few of our longer serving staff to also contribute some of their memories.

During this past year, we have created a new strategic plan for the next 3 years. Copies of this plan will be available at the AGM. This current plan has 9 directions, with key emphasis on improving services and supports for seniors and low income households.

The purchase of the Grace Centre should be complete by the time the AGM rolls around and it would be great to envision what this facility will be capable of doing to support our community for the next 25 years.

RSVP’s are requested to ensure we have lots of breakfast and coffee! Please call Jan at 613-376-6477 and let her know that you will be joining us on June 18.

Join us on Saturday May 3rdat the Grace Centre for SFCSC's 1st Annual May Fare. Opens at 8am. There will be crafts, baked goods, plants and collectibles. Vendor tables for $15. Call the office for details.

Victor Parachin in his book “Healing Grief ” talks of a number of myths about grief including one that funerals do not contribute anything of importance to the grieving process. Parachin says that “the funeral visitation, service and ritual create a power-ful therapeutic experience for the bereaved…..that the service is a time to talk about a loved one and begin the acceptance of death. It also brings together a community of family and friends who can support

one another through a difficult time. Many grief experts and those who provide counsel believe that a funeral or service is a nec-essary and important part of the grieving process.

continued from PG 1 Caregiver Support Caregivers quite often become invisible with the attention being given to the person being cared for, however Caregivers themselves benefit from practical support offered by friends and neighbours.

If you know someone who is a Caregiver ask how they are doing and let them know that they are important. Be a listening ear for them – they may need to express their frustrations to someone who can be trusted and will respect confidentiality. Become aware of a particular Caregiver’s needs and offer a helping hand – rather than saying “if you need anything, just call….” offer something specific, perhaps a casserole for dinner, the offer to pick something up they need at the store or the offer to stay with their loved one so they can go out for a walk. Tuesday Drop-in dates: April 8, May 13, June 10 at the Grace Centre from 9-10am.

lettuces, and rutabaga.In April they made their first field

trip to the garden to turn the soil and transplant the hardier seedlings. And every Tuesday thereafter, weather permitting, the students returned to the garden to weed and water, harvest and hoe.

“Picture 28 Grade 7 students march-ing down the street with hoes, and shovels and rakes - it looks like an angry mob,” laughs Macdonald. “But they’re so happy! They come back with mud on their shoes and they’re thrilled. They feel empowerment and delight, and pride.”

In May the students harvested their first spinach and delivered it to the Adult Day Program at the Grace Centre. Bringing a basket of produce to the seniors became a weekly tradition and formed the basis of a burgeoning friendship. At the end of the school year, the seniors presented the students with a book of stories about their own school years.

“I got a sense that something special had been exchanged,” said Macdonald.

“More than an assignment, the garden was something they were passionate about,” he continued, noting that the student gardeners helped feed some 70 families. “They have learned that they can make a change within our own world.”

SFCSC is pleased to introduce a Hearing Clinic at the Grace Centre starting May 2 from 1-4pm. This free service will be offered every other month and will be conducted by the Canadian Hearing Society. The clinic is open to people ages 55+. It's an opportunity for people who suspect they're ex-periencing hearing loss to receive a preliminary hearing test indicating whether they should have a full hearing test done by a hearing aid vendor. They can also come and ask questions about hearing loss, assistive hearing devices, commu-nication strategies and other services. The Hear-ing Clinic can do some minor troubleshooting with hearing aids, make referrals to hearing aid vendors, clean devices, and assist with training and maintenance. The clinic engages commu-nity members who may not be able to travel to Kingston for these services.

The landscape of our world has changed dramati-cally over the past twenty years and it appears that it will continue to change at increasing speed. We need to keep up with the changes.

We are living longer and more of us will need to depend on others to manage our affairs at some point. It is also very likely that we will be asked to act for someone. Powers of Attorneys are becom-ing much more essential to our well being and autonomy. This is a complicated obligation if one chooses to accept.

As Power of Attorney you must always act in the best interests of the person you are representing. It does not give authority to act as you would think best. You must make decisions as if you are the per-son you are acting for. You are not allowed to dis-pose of or sell their belongings unless it is necessary for their care and well being. You are not allowed to use the money as if it was yours. You are obligated to include the person in the decision making. You cannot withhold documents from the person. You must not forget that the assets are not yours. Just because someone may not be capable of managing some aspects of their life it does not mean that they shouldn’t continue to be kept in the loop of their affairs and continue to make decisions if they are reasonable.

You must keep detailed accounting of every action and transaction you make. You must be able to justify each one. You can be asked to prove those actions. There is a legal process called Passing of Accounts that can be asked for at any time. Keep-ing a journal is an excellent method to manage your duties.

Many cases of elder abuse are actually misuse of Power of Attorney. That is an offense under the Criminal Code. A good number of the offenses are deliberate and result from people intentionally inflicting harm but many are because the Power of Attorney does not understand the authority he has been given. Legally, you may face the same conse-quences regardless of the motivation. You should

Mark Segsworth, SFCSC's Enhancement Cam-paign Chair, introduced SFCSC's first fund raising initiative to enhance health and social services in our area on February 7th. We would like to thank our keynote speaker, Dr. Duncan Sinclair, for his inspiring and eloquent address. Dr. Sinclair pointed out that over three quarters of Canadians gave to char-ity last year, according to a poll done recently by the Bank of Montreal. The top two causes were health services and poverty. Dr. Sinclair went on to explain,"Canadians want to support what you do here and that is encouraging"

SFCSC would also like to thank our guests, Gary Goodberry, President of the Verona Lions Club, and John Lesperance, from the Knights of Columbus for saying a few words in support of SFCSC.

A total of $14,000 was raised on Feb. 7th - 29% of our campaign goal. Cheques presented were from:• $7,000 Township of South Frontenac• $2,000 The Royal Canadian Legion• $1,000 Sydenham Lions Club• $1,000 from Trousdale Stores• +3,000 in individual donations

Our goal is to raise $50,000 by June 30th, 2014 in order to help 178 New Clients get access to essential health & social services.

AEverything. Many years ago an old farmer was brought to my office by his daughter, a nurse, to attend to “some bad teeth”. His mouth was in very bad shape and he was

terrified as he had not attended a dentist in over 40 years. Many infected teeth were present and several were loose. We cleaned up the infections in his mouth which included many extractions.

His daughter called a few days after reporting that a serious leg infec-tion, present for over two years, had finally resolved. It had been unresponsive to many courses of antibiotics.

Coincidence? Probably not. We tend to think that the role of the dentist is to attend to teeth and gums. Science has shown for years that infections in the mouth can travel to other parts of the body includ-ing the heart, lung, kidneys, brain and newly placed prosthetic heart valves and joints.

Indeed, recent research has shown that spirochetes, bacteria similar to those that cause Lyme’s disease, can be found in the plaque buildup in blood ves-sels and in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. All the more reason to keep your mouth healthy which includes regular visits to the dentist to intercept any developing problems.

QWhat is the process for entering Long-Term Care in Ontario?

AOver 77,000 Ontario residents currently live in long-term care homes. While efforts are being made to help more seniors stay in their own homes, sometimes even a combination of home- and community-based care will not be enough to meet your needs, and a move to a long-term care home is the only option.

The first step to entering long-term care is to speak with someone at your nearest Community Care Access Centre (CCAC). They will assess you and decide whether you are eligible. To qualify to move into a long-term care home, you must: be over the age of 18; have a valid Ontario Health Card; and have health care needs that cannot be met with any combination of caregiving, home care or commu-nity-based services, but that can be met in a long-term care home. If the CCAC decides that you are eligible, you can choose up to five homes in which you would like to live. You may be able to move in right away if one of the homes on your list has space for you. Otherwise, your name will be put on a waiting list.

You cannot be forced to move into a long-term care home unless you are not mentally capable of making the decision yourself. If you are not capable, your substitute decision-maker will decide for you. If someone decides that you are not capable of choosing whether or not you should move into a long-term care home, but you disagree, you can ask the Consent and Capacity Board to review the decision.

You cannot be forced to move into a home that you do not want to live in. But you can be made to move into any home that is on your list. It is therefore very important to only choose homes you are willing to live in.

Once you move into a long-term care home, the provincial government pays for your nursing, per-sonal care, food, programs and support services. You will pay a basic accommodation charge that is the same for each long-term care home in Ontario. If you cannot afford it, you can apply for a subsidy to help. This subsidy is designed so that you will still have some money left each month for personal expenses after you have paid for your accommodation.

Finally, if you want, you might be able to get a semi-private or private room. This is called “preferred accommodation”. You will have to pay more for it, and you must be able to pay the higher rate indefi-nitely. Unless you get a written agreement with the home before you are offered admission that says how long you will pay the higher rate, you will have to pay it until basic accommodation becomes available. There is no way to know how long this will take.

While you will hopefully be able to remain in your own home, it is good to understand the process for enter-ing long-term care, just in case.
