Families Make Plans to ‘Stay in Touch’ with Older Relatives During a Crisis
As the Holidays approach and families reflect on 2010 -- a year in which thousands of Americans from coast to coast experienced natural disasters-- families are encouraged to spend some holiday time mapping out a plan that will keep their older relatives safe when disaster and personal crisis strikes. Disaster and emergency situations can strike quickly and without warning, forcing immediate evacuations or even confining seniors to their homes. There are many reasons why older Americans must be prepared, including age-related characteristics, such as delayed response time or reduced ability to see or hear. Mental or physical impairments also can be barriers to quick response, as can chronic health problems, limited finances, and language and cultural differences. Many older Americans have serious obstacles to safety when faced with an unexpected situation, such as lack of transportation; dependence on daily medications; or lack of heat. The Eldercare Locator, a nationwide service founded by the U.S. Administration on Aging, in order to link older adults and their families to local aging services, encourages families across the country to take the opportunity this holiday season to establish a family plan with older loved ones to stay “IN TOUCH” during disasters and emergency situations. Whether you live far away or are directly caring for your loved one, the “IN TOUCH” plan described below will aid your family communications efforts before, during, and after a crisis situation: n Identify potential emergency situations and disasters that could occur in your older family member’s home and community. n Note what community resources are available that might assist your efforts in establishing your “IN TOUCH” plan. n Talk about individual circumstances that are concerns for you and your older loved one. n Outline your “IN TOUCH” plan in writing and share it with everyone involved. n Update your “IN TOUCH” plan as situations change. n Communicate regularly and test your “IN TOUCH” plan. n Have peace of mind knowing that you have an “IN TOUCH” plan. If, in the process of making this plan, the family learns that the older adult has unmet needs, a call to the local Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is in order. These federally funded offices are dedicated to helping older adults obtain whatever it is they need: housing, transportation, in home supportive services, health assistance, etc. To connect with an AAA in a state other than California, call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116. If you would like a copy of the 6-page “IN TOUCH” Plan Overview, or for information on services for Orange County’s older adults, persons with disabilities, or caregivers, call the Office on Aging at 1-800-510-2020. — Source: U.S. Administration on Aging
