Q. How can we keep our seniors safe in winter? Winter Safety for people with Dementia Part 1.
A. Winter weather brings the beauty of snow and the challenge of freezing cold temperatures.
But for people with Alzheimers disease and other kinds of dementia, it also brings several
potential safety hazards such as: Improper Dressing: Some struggle with an awareness of
the weather and temperature and may choose clothes that are completely inappropriate for
the season. They may be quite adamant that shorts are perfect for going outside in the snow.
Stove Left On: Some may feel cold and turn their stove on to heat themselves up, but then
forget to turn it back off. Electric Blanket Risk: Electric blankets may cause an area of skin
to become too hot and burn, and the person with dementia may not be aware that the burn is
occurring. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Due to the use of heating systems and a sealed up
Ryan Wagner
house, the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning is increased in the cold months. Slipping and
Falling Outside: A person with dementia might not use good judgment and could attempt to shovel snow and ice when
it isnt safe to do so, putting themselves at risk for falls and fractures. Decreased Sunlight: The decreased sunlight in
winter times can increase the potential for sleeping problems since there is less daylight. It can also increase agitation
due to sun downing, a condition where people with Alzheimers disease experience more restlessness and confusion as
evening approaches.
Part 2. Next month: Strategies to Increase the Safety of a Loved One with Dementia
During the Winter Months.

Q. At what age should I have my puppy groomed for the first time?
Sales of existing and new homes in the United States could reach six million for the first time
since 2006. The pace of growth of existing home sales and prices will remain strong overall
with new home sales increasing 16 percent (www.cnbc.com).
Locally, forecasts are for a strong 2016 for home sales. Our current market in Dane County is
short of listings so now is the best time to sell your home. Sellers can usually achieve top dollar
Shawn Pfaff
for their homes because of this lack of supply.
If you are thinking about selling your home in 2016, I would be happy to assist you and let you
know how much equity you have in your home by providing you with a market appraisal. Please feel free to contact me

SENIOR CARE
care. Most elders prefer to live in the safety and comfort of their own homes where they are most
familiar. However, when routine tasks and activities become difficult or impossible because of aging,
elders need consistent care. There are several options including assisted living, nursing homes or other
similar care facility and at-home care. Comfort Keepers provides high-quality, respectful care to
Elders who wish to remain at home. Comfort Keepers visit elders in their homes and help with tasks
such as meal preparation, medication reminders, grocery shopping and errands, bathing, incontinence
care, mobility assistance, food preparation, hygiene care, toileting and non-medical services, like light

post-hospital support following surgery, injury or hospital stays. We can provide wound care, speech,

Service packages can vary, ranging from a bath visit once a week to full-time 24/7 at-home care. We also offer automated

benefit. Your credit utilization ratio, which is the percentage of available credit youre actually using, plays a role in determining your
score. Credit bureaus look more favorably on a lower percentage, as
you don't seem to be using all the credit available to you. I hope your

Q. My child is often anxious and sometimes cries at school. How can I help?
A. There are many reasons for children to feel anxious. Often anxiety is a result of real or imagined
expectations that the child has for schoolwork, friendships or life at home. As a parent, you are in a
wonderful position to help your child! By respecting his/her feelings you open the door to your child
trusting you with uncomfortable emotions both now and in the future. When talking about the thoughts
and emotions behind the fear, be sure to let your child know that you understand and will be there to
help him/her to manage it.
Remember that the goal isnt to eliminate your childs uncomfortable emotions, but to help him/her to
manage and tolerate them. Dont avoid stressful situations but use them as an opportunity for your child

their children from their fears it can actually make the situation worse. Finding a qualified Professional
Counselor for education and support can be a vital part of helping your child to overcome and learn to cope with anxiety.

Q. With our lease coming up for renewal later this spring, we're thinking about buying a home rather than renting for
another year. What steps should we take to help us make this major decision?
A. It's a perfect time to start asking these questions! Due to high demand for rentals, rents have been moving in one direction - up! Couple
that with the problems of a scarcity of rentals available in many areas, restrictions on pets and limited tax benefits and one can see the appeal
of owning your own home. Still, there are important things to consider when weighing the two.
1. Consider your lifestyle, short and long term goals. Do you plan on staying in the area for the next few years or more? Are you comfortable
with the extra responsibility of home maintenance? Is it important for you to have a home to call your own or do you prefer the flexibility

of renting?
2. Take a serious look at your budget and what monthly housing payment you can afford; about 25% of your income going toward housing is considered ideal. This will
also help you to understand what price range of homes you'll be most comfortable with.
3. Meet with a lender who will review all costs involved (including down payment, closing costs & escrow) and give you a pre-qualified letter based on your personal
financial situation and credit score. Depending on your credit, you may qualify for some low down payment options, so talk with a trusted lender. If you don't know
one, I can help with referrals.
4. Feel free to reach out to me for more information. I am happy to answer any questions you have about our local real estate market and help you weigh the pros and cons.
