Pets for Senior Citizens
By 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 a
special 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 complex
way 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 the Jour-
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, and
have 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 physical
contact. 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. Pets
are 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 emotionally
stable 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 most
common 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 going
outside, 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 like
Pets on Wheels and Therapy
Dogs International have been ...

MYMATURETIMES.COM SEPTEMBER 2013 PAGE 4
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 residents
get 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 had
dogs 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 from
having 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 the
animal 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 and
affection, 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 myself
elderly, 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 Challenges
Doug 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 always
a 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 much
do 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 medical
care, 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
Concierge
Medical Care?
Q: As retirees with only Medicare
health 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 is
named "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 needs
you 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 stiffening
federal 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 or
phone, 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!

Southern California retirement community.

(WE DONT NEED TO) SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER
Summertime is over, and its time to
face the fall. Hopefully, your family
has enjoyed a nice vacation and
youve had your share of fun in the

tember, which was written by Sid
Wayne and Sherman Edwards and
made memorable by The Happen-
ings in 1966.
As children, teenagers, and young
adults return to school, now is a
good time for you to take a look at
the books, too whether that means
starting your retirement planning,
making sure your retirement plans
are on track, or taking the plunge and
applying for Social Security retire-
ment benefits.
But just because you have Social Se-
curity business and retirement mat-
ters to tend to does not mean you
need to fight the traffic and trudge
into a busy government office. We
dont need to see you (in person) in
September. Thats because whether
youre working on your retirement
planning or ready to retire, you can

Securitys Benefits Planners at

You can use the planners to help you
understand your Social Security pro-
tection as you plan your financial fu-
ture. In fact, you can learn about
survivors and disability benefits as
well as retirement benefits. No mat-
ter how new you may be to the
working world, its never too early to
begin planning for a sound financial
future.

work under your belt, get a more
precise look at what your benefits
will be with Social Securitys Retire-
ment Estimator at www.socialsecu-
rity.gov/estimator. The Estimator

current earnings into the future to
give you an instant, personalized es-
timate of your future benefits. You

date of retirement and future earn-
ings estimates, to see what you can
expect in different scenarios.

daily grind of working and youre
ready to apply for Social Security re-
tirement benefits, its exciting to
know that you can apply from the
comfort of your home or office in as
little as 15 minutes. Once you com-
plete the online application for bene-
fits, in most cases, thats all there is
to it. No papers to sign or documents
to provide. Give it a try when youre
ready to retire at www.socialsecu-
rity.gov/applyonline.
You have better things to do in Sep-
tember than to come see us. Whether
youre just beginning your retire-
ment plans, making sure your long-
term plans are on track, or youre
ready to retire, we dont need to see
you in September. Take advantage of
our new, easy-to-use website at

Weather Trivia:
By: Doppler Dave Speelman
our Spectacular rainbows
This is a great time of year to rainbow watch
in 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, the
light 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 but
we 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 of York Gave 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. Its
also 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.
