Pets for Senior CitizensBy Sandi Smith, CSA President Comfort Keepers El Paso & Las Cruces

I have recently read many arti-

cles about the importance of an-

imals in therapy of children but

animals and elderly can have aspecial bond.

When you pet a soft, warm cat

or play fetch with a dog whose

tail wont stop wagging, you

relax and your heart feels a little

warmer. Scientists have noticed

the same thing, and theyve

started to explore the complexway animals affect human emo-

tions and physiology. The re-

sulting studies have shown that

owning and handling animals

significantly benefits health,

and not just for the young. In

fact, pets may help elderly own-

ers live longer, healthier, and

more enjoyable lives.

A study published in theJour-

nal of the American Geriatrics

Society in May of 1999 demon-

strated that independently living

seniors that have pets tend to

have better physical health and

mental wellbeing than those

that dont. Theyre more active,

cope better with stress, andhave better overall health. A

1997 study showed that elderly

pet owners had significantly

lower blood pressure overall

than their contemporaries with-

out pets. In fact, an experimen-

tal residential home for the

elderly called the Eden Alterna-

tive, which is filled with over

100 birds, dogs, and cats and

has an outside environment

with rabbits and chickens, has

experienced a 15 percent lower

mortality rate than traditional

nursing homes over the past

five years.

How do they do it?

There are a number of explana-

tions for exactly how pets ac-

complish all these health

benefits. First of all, pets need

walking, feeding, grooming,

fresh water, and fresh kitty lit-

ter, and they encourage lots of

playing and petting. All of these

activities require some action

from owners. Even if its just

getting up to let a dog out a few

times a day or brushing a cat,any activity can benefit the car-

diovascular system and help

keep joints limber and flexible.

Consistently performing this

kind of minor exercise can keep

pet owners able to carry out the

normal activities of daily living.

Pets may also aid seniors sim-

ply by providing some physicalcontact. Studies have shown

that when people pet animals,

their blood pressure, heart rate,

and temperature decrease...

Many benefits of pet ownership

are less tangible, though. Petsare an excellent source of com-

panionship, for example. They

can act as a support system for

older people who dont have

any family or close friends

nearby to act as a support sys-

tem. The JAGS study showed

that people with pets were bet-

ter able to remain emotionallystable during crises than those

without. Pets can also work as a

buffer against social isolation.

Often the elderly have trouble

leaving home, so they dont

have a chance to see many peo-

ple. Pets give them a chance to

interact. This can help combat

depression, one of the mostcommon medical problems fac-

ing seniors today. The responsi-

bility of caring for an animal

may also give the elderly a

sense of purpose, a reason to get

up in the morning. Pets also

help seniors stick to regular rou-

tines of getting up in the morn-

ing, buying groceries, and goingoutside, which help motivate

them to eat and sleep regularly

and well.

Pets in residence

Many nursing homes have

taken this information to heart.

For years, organizations likePets on Wheels and Therapy

Dogs International have been ...

Continued from page 3...bringing

thoroughly vaccinated, groomed, and

behavior-tested animals into hospi-

tals, hospices, and assisted living

homes to give seniors a chance to pet

and play with them. The residentsget to have some therapeutic physi-

cal contact and a fun activity to

break up their day.

More recently, some resident homes

have even begun letting animals live

in the home full time. The Stanton

Health Center in Stanton, Nebraska,

a residential nursing home, has haddogs for its Alzheimer wing and now

has an aviary and cats that live in the

centers common area.

Finding that furry

friend

If there are older people in your life

that you think might benefit fromhaving a pet at home, be sure to talk

to them before you pick one out.

Make sure that they want the re-

sponsibility of a new pet, as well as

the noise and the messes that may

come along with it. Talk to them

about whether they feel capable of

feeding, watering, grooming, exer-cising, and cleaning up after an ani-

mal. If they decide theyre willing to

accept that responsibility, take your

elderly friend or family member out

with you to the humane society or

the breeder to pick out a new furry

friend. It is often a good idea to pick

out older pets that may not require

as much energy to take care of them.Puppies and kittens can be destruc-

tive and more responsibility than the

person can handle. They may fall in

love with a dog or cat that might

never have caught your eye.

Finally, before you encourage an

older person to adopt a pet, consider

whether you could take care of theanimal if its owner is no longer able.

Often, if seniors reach the point

where they have to leave their

homes and move into assisted-living

facilities, they also have to give up

their pets. The number of nursing

homes and other types of housing

for the elderly that will accept ani-

mals is growing, but the vast majori-ties still dont allow pets. Seniors

can plan ahead and find a pet-

friendly nursing facility, just in case

they need to use it someday.

Pets and the elderly have a lot to

give to each other. Research and ex-

perience has shown that animals and

older people can share their time andaffection, and ultimately, full and

happy lives. Though pets cant re-

place human relationships for sen-

iors, they can certainly augment

them, and they can fill an older per-

sons life with years of constant, un-

conditional love.

Although I dont consider myselfelderly, yet, I have three dogs that

give me so much love and affection

and I can certainly attest to the feel-

ing of comfort animals can give you.

Retirement Job ChallengesDoug Mayberry

Q: I am a year away from manda-tory retirement, and both my stay-at-

home wife and I are afraid that we

will outspend our money before we

go. However, in taking a look at our

latest budget, our plans are looking a

little cloudier. We think we should

consider part-time work after I retire.

Luckily, my wife says she is willing

to take a part-time job if we need

help. Do you think we should worry

about this now?

A: Evaluating our options is alwaysa smart move. Predicting the future

is unforeseeable. We are experienc-

ing rising costs for food, medical

bills, taxes, housing, insurance,

transportation and other basics.

When many retirees budgeted, most

of them underestimated their needed

dollars.

Based on your concerns, begin now

to check out the secrets for getting

part-time jobs. Facing the fear of

outliving or having to downscale

your lifestyle will help relieve some

stress if you face it now.

How do local employment agencies

process applicants, and how muchdo they charge? Do you need addi-

tional training and/or licensing? Be-

come better informed about job

openings by reading your newspa-

per's classified columns. Create a

new resume, and if you are not com-

puter skilled, learn the basics at your

local library to prepare for inter-

views.

Are you a handy man who can paint,

do electrical work and plumbing?

Could your wife do some housework

or drive a senior to the doctor, den-

tist or the hairdresser?

Would it be possible for your wife to

starting working now? Would taking

classes to qualify you for medicalcare, home computing capability or

real estate licensing be well advised?

You appear to already be considering

your options. Activating them now is

a smart move. Even if you find that

you do not need to accept part-time

work, it's great to be in a position to

switch gears! That in itself is a win-ning attitude!

What's

ConciergeMedical Care?Q: As retirees with only Medicarehealth care protection, we are getting

panicky about what will happen

when the new federal health man-

dates becomes effective. As the new

programs are initiated, we hope our

current fears regarding costs, avail-

ability and being able to obtain care

will prove to be better than we now

believe. Will there be too many pa-

tients and too few doctors? Will ex-isting doctors retire? Will there be

fewer students who study medicine?

Do you have any heads-up positives

for us to consider?

A: Until the details are activated,we are subject to wait and see.

However, one medical option that is

rapidly growing in acceptance isnamed "Direct Care" or "Concierge

Medical Care". It may be worth-

while for your consideration and

backup.

It is a doctor fee-based service that

you pay monthly or yearly. The price

is based on where you live, doctor

availability and what health needsyou want.

Many doctors are choosing this path

because they don't know how the

rules will work out, what the patient

work load will require to make a

profit, how payments will work out

and how many employees they will

need. The fear of overall stiffeningfederal rules and regulations along

are also issues.

Choosing a participating concierge

doctor is similar to how you choose

your existing one. Your goal is to

find a matching doctor who is

knowledgeable and qualified to take

care of you.

Each doctor or group offers a variety

of services, such as an annual physi-

cal, 24-hour access by email orphone, same-day appointments,

guidance, health prevention and

quicker access to emergency facili-

ties.

If you choose a new one-on-one

medical relationship, base it on trust,

friendship, past experience and the

doctor's qualifications.It may even be possible to sign up

for a trial period to learn if you have

made that match!

Doug Mayberry makes the most of life in a

Southern California retirement community.

ment benefits.

any weather issues you can email him at [email protected].

Weather Trivia:

By: Doppler Dave Speelman

o Sp rbwsThis is a great time of year to rainbow watchin El Paso. Its fairly easy to do when you

have the two necessary ingredients: mois-

ture and sunshine. The thundershowers we

had last Sunday allowed me to take a picture

of a rainbow right over the Franklin Moun-

tains on the Westside.

Rainbows form when sunlight hits the in-

dividual raindrops. Sunlight is white light.

But, when the sunlight hits the drop, thelight is refracted and bounced around in dif-

ferent directions supplying all kinds of col-

ors. There are seven main colors that we see.

They are red, orange, yellow, green, blue,

indigo and violet. There are also other colors

that fall under ultraviolet and infrared butwe cannot see them. A simple way of re-

membering the main colors were taught to

me when I was taking my meteorology

courses. Just remember the first letter of

each word Richard ofYorkGave Battle in

Vain.

Another thing to remember while looking

at a rainbow is that the sun will always be in

back of you while the rain is in front. Itsalso interesting to note that we all dont see

the same rainbow. The person standing right

next to you will see light bouncing off dif-

ferent drops from a different angle.
