• Volunteer firefighters work to help Western NY residents

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. - Officials estimate that 75 inches of snow fell in Cheektowaga, and it's done a lot of damage.
The damage is clear as one awning in front of a home has come down.
The roads also remain impassable.
Thankfully, there are volunteer firefighters who have responded to help those in need. One 86 year old was in her home when her furnace stopped working. Volunteer firefighters came to the rescue as quickly as possible. In fact, there were about half a dozen of them helping get the elderly woman out, which seems to be all in a day's work.
"We've been walking them out, carrying them out in stokes baskets. Doing what we can to get them to safety," said Jeanette Metros with the Cheektowaga Volunteer Fire Department.
One repair man says that his car couldn't handle all of the snow after he tried to help people himself.
"I had four people trying to push me out and then the belt broke on the car, so I wasn't able to go anywhere," says Nicholas Tabbi with Capital Heat.
Another man, whose name just so happens to be "snowman" in German, was in the area to hunt deer, but with all the snow, he decided to help others.
"My last name is Schliemann and if you would translate it into English language the real translation is snowman," he said.
Schliemann started clearing off people's roofs, and he's done at least five so far and he won't accept any money for his work.
"Here live elder people, mostly elder people and I'm, I have the skills to do it. That's all," he said.
While storm clouds are on the horizon, they are headed further south. A lot of the seniors that live in a mobile home complex are staying at a local senior center.
Many are in need of regular medical attention. Some are on dialysis or chemotherapy.
Officials at the center said they had 25 people stay the first night and double that number Wednesday night.
With more snow on the way, they expect the numbers to increase even more Thursday night.

SmartCare sees big future for sensors in elderly care facilities

St. Charles-based SmartCare Consultants seeks to improve the way we care for the elderly, by offering new sensor technology that provides round-the-clock monitoring.
The company expects to bring in $30 million in revenue over the next five years after securing its sensor technology in various senior care facilities across the country.
Scott Mosher, vice president of business development, recently discussed the company’s launch, technology and plan for growth. Here’s an edited portion of the interview.

What service does SmartCare Consultants provide?

I’m sure people have heard of a smart home. Imagine a long-term setting that saves seniors’ lives — that’s what we do. We help senior caregivers provide a safe environment where their loved ones can stay in place with dignity and independence.
The technical answer is: We provide true 24-hour transparent care through a comprehensive cloud-based solution that monitors seniors’ daily activity and reports anomalies. We help caregivers proactively respond to problems, making sure seniors haven’t fallen and that they are drinking, eating, bathing and remaining active — the typical activities of daily living.

How did you come up with the technology?

About eight years ago, (company founder Bryan Jefferson) started a home automation business out of his garage. (Later,) his father was in a car wreck and put in a wheelchair. His dad lives in California and (Bryan) lives here.
Bryan put some basic sensors throughout his dad’s house so he could tell when he got out of bed and was eating and showering, and Bryan got alerts when his dad wasn’t getting out of bed or didn’t eat or didn’t shower.

Can you describe how the technology works?

There are pressure sensors in the couch, and pressure sensors in the bed, pressure sensors in the bathroom so you know if they’re stuck on the toilet, and sensors on the bathmat. There are motion sensors throughout the house so you know when they’ve left; sensors in the fridge and on the stove. All those sensors are all talking to each other and all of that info is being fed to our software, and it’s learning the person’s behavior and when something happens that is different, or out of the ordinary, that’s when someone gets a notice immediately.

When did SmartCare Consultants launch?

We officially set up the company in October 2012. We started working on it full time in January of this year. Today, our first communities that are adopting this technology are now under construction. We have 142 rooms sold today and they are being built right now near Kansas City. There are 1,700 rooms across the country in our pipeline. So that equates to about $30 million in revenue over five years.

How does the payment model work?

It’s a managed service so we are working with the community to raise their prices by about 5 percent on average. We’re adding about $7 to $10 a day, per person, per room.
We’re also being pushed into the home space, your hospice agencies and caregivers, for under $10 per day, so about $275 per month, but it saves you on average $4,000 from going into a retirement community.

Orlando In-Home Senior Care Agency: Holiday Opportunities to Reminisce, Part I

Holidays offer ample opportunities for families to recall and reminisce about past Thanksgivings, family gatherings and shopping trips made with children and elderly loved ones. Even before November begins, some grandparents have already apportioned time, effort, and money in setting goals and making holiday plans for dinners, in addition to prepping homes for family visitors. Making plans and setting goals “involves processing information filled with personal meaning – knowledge about past experiences, motivations, plans and social context,” says Nathan Spreng in a recent Science Daily article, “Reminiscing can help boost mental performance.” Nathan Spreng, a neuroscientist from Cornell University led a study that shows how reminiscing boosts mental performance in some individuals.

The opportunity to set holiday goals and plan activities gives seniors the occasion to reactivate cognitive skills. Acknowledging the importance of a senior’s past and treasured experiences provides caregivers and family members the opportunity to validate what is important in a senior’s life. What may seem insignificant may be a cherished memory later in life; a song heard for the first time, or the aroma of grandmother’s turkey baking in the oven may provide enduring memories for older seniors.

Just as some family members may wander into the kitchen to help prepare Thanksgiving dinner, others may want to find time to chat with old and young about recent experiences and personal family updates. Family football fans may assemble to watch the latest college football games during a long Thanksgiving holiday.

 I treasure the funny moments I had sitting next to my grandfather while watching college football over Thanksgiving break. In fact, I remember laughing at his reaction every time someone fumbled or made a touchdown. He probably wondered why I was laughing; it was the reactions, his sighing and the motions made by his enormous hands that made me laugh. A set of piercing hawkish blue eyes would always roll in my direction after each of my untimely laughs.

We recognize Thanksgiving holidays as a time to celebrate older and newer traditions. Holidays offer an excellent opportunity for family caregivers to help older loved ones participate in organizing and planning activities.

 If you are planning to spend some extra time assisting elderly grandparents or aging parents preparing for the holidays, take the time to accommodate their needs and their wishes. When helping someone, consider this golden rule, "It is not about us, when giving of our time, but about others."

Senior Helpers of Orlando provides home health care for seniors and older adults living in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. Call us to find out about our services at 407-628-4357 or feel free to visit our website.

Editorial: A time to help children, elderly at Christmas

Next week Americans will gather for Thanksgiving. Friends and families will enjoy food, fellowship and football. It's also the kickoff for the Christmas shopping season.
Black Friday often brings long lines, with shoppers getting in a festive spirit leading up to Christmas.
But we know there are people who are struggling. Those who face financial challenges and barely make ends meet. Some parents cannot afford presents for youngsters, and there are elderly people who can barely afford basic necessities.
This is where the Cape Girardeau Jaycees and the Southeast Missourian come in.
Each year we partner through Toybox and Christmas for the Elderly.
Toybox is a program whereby individuals can donate monetarily or through gifts for children of all ages. In its 40th year, Toybox helped more than 1,000 children receive a gift last Christmas. Families seeking support can go to the Salvation Army in Cape Girardeau to complete an application.
Christmas for the Elderly has been around for 30 years. Last year, 42 seniors were helped, with assistance coming in the form of supplies, gift cards and specific needs.
Last year there was someone who needed a bed. A donor met this need. Another senior needed help with a pharmacy bill, and still another needed eye surgery.
The generosity of this community is inspiring, and we look forward to seeing this same generous spirit this Christmas season.
Those who would like to donate to Christmas for the Elderly or Toybox may do so through Dec. 18. Christmas for the Elderly donations may be brought to the Southeast Missourian, 301 Broadway, or mailed to P.O. Box 4, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701.
Kim's Toybox Run also will be held on Nov. 30 before the downtown Cape Girardeau Christmas parade. It begins at 4:55 p.m. at the West End Boulevard and Broadway intersection. The registration fee benefits Toybox, and toy donations also will be accepted.
Thank you for your support of Toybox and Christmas for the Elderly.
