By Larry Caballero When 76-year-old concentration camp survivor Richard Borowski began speaking to several hundred eighth grade students in the Walk- er Junior High School gymnasium in La Palma May 21, they were surprised how healthy he looked. “Did you expect me to look much older and in a wheel chair unable to walk?” Borowski asked. He explained that he was only nine years old in 1943 when Ger- man soldiers stormed the small eastern town of Sarny, Poland, burst into all of the houses and took the families into freight trains to be- come workers for their camps. He was taken with his parents and two younger brothers. For thirty minutes Borowski held the students captive, he encouraged the students to stay in school and to appreciate the opportunities they have to learn, and he told them “ed- ucation means everything to me.” It was a frigid night when Borowski and his family were taken from their home and told that each member could only carry whatever they could on their backs. Unaware of what was happening to them, Borowski chose to take his sled so he could play in the snow when they would arrive at their destination.

Proposed budget cuts to senior care would hit families hard

Concentration camp survivor speaks to students about life-long ordeal

Concentration camp survivor Richard Borowski meets with his daughter Monica and son Jack after his speech in front of several hundred students.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed cutting $104 mil-lion from the 2010-2011 budget by eliminating adult day health care services as of March 1. If the cuts to the $76 daily Medi-Cal reim-bursements, which provide the ma-jority of the program's funding, are approved, roughly 37,000 people would lose services by June.

"This is even worse than last year," said Marilyn Ditty, execu-tive director of Age Well Senior Services.

In 2009, the governor proposed limiting benefits to adult day health care programs to three days a week, but those cuts were killed by a court injunction last fall.

As intensive care becomes more intensive, a new breed of doctor grows

They take care of the very sick in the hospital. Most of them do not have office hours. But they are committed to a new way of taking care of patients when it matters the most. These are doctors called "hospitalists," and those who prac-tice in CareMore Medical Group have paved the way for a recent

trend sweeping the halls of hospi-tals across the nation.

Hospitalists, or intensivists, spe-cialize in taking care of the very ill in a hospital, freeing up a patient's primary care physician to concen-trate on taking care of patients in the office.

For Charles Holzner, M.D., the chief hospitalist with CareMore Medical Group, hospital inpa-tients are the focus of his medical practice. By working in hospitals associated with CareMore, hos-pitalists like Dr. Holzner provide

their office-based colleagues with the option of expanding their office hours by not having to make hospi-tal rounds.

"Often, it's a significant drain on the resources of physicians to have them leave their offices to take care of patients in the hospi-tal," says Dr. Holzner, an internist. His role and that of his colleagues is to manage the patient's overall inpatient treatment as well as to consult with the patient’s primary care physician. Depending on the patient's particular health problem,

other medical specialists may be called in -- all coordinated by the hospitalist.

"Hospitalists such as Dr. Holzner, by working as a team with our other physicians, help to streamline the use of hospital services and to improve the care of our patients. Hospitalists know how the hospital works. They see very ill patients day and night and know the kind of problems that can

More that 40 members of the Artesia-Cerritos Woman’s Club gathered in the Skyline Room of the Cerritos Library May 6 for the club’s annual installation dinner of new officers. Installed as club president for 20010-11 was Nancy Sousa.

Outgoing President Joanne Witt thanked the membership for their support during her term of office. “Without your active support we wouldn’t have been able to accom-plish our goals. She said she was es-

pecially proud of the club’s support for the 1st CEB Adoption Commit-tee. “I feel very strongly that we should support our marines who are overseas fighting for our freedom here at home,” she stated.

Incoming President Nancy Sou-sa also expressed pride in the club’s support of the 1st CEB Adoption Committee and pledged continued support for the Marines stationed at Camp Pendleton.

The dinner was catered by Huffs Restaurant in Long Beach.

New officers installed at Woman’s Club annual dinner

The Woman’s Club of Artesia-Cerritos held its annual Installation Dinner May 6 installing Nancy Sousa as the club’s 2010-11 president.

Senior Center hosts senior housing workshopBy Larry Caballero

Families have many choices to make when the search for senior housing arises. With so many op-tions, it is important to seek profes-sional assistance in order to make

the right choice. One free resource is A Place for Mom, a senior hous-ing referral service.

Independent Living Communi-ties cater to seniors who are very independent with few medical problems. Residents live in fully equipped private apartments. Cost per month can vary from $1,000 to $3,000 and includes meal plan op-tions, mobility assistance and on-site nurses. Often, residents can choose to pay for a specified num-

ber of meals per day. Frequently, there are numerous social outings and events to choose from for en-tertainment.

Assisted Living Communities are designed for seniors who are no longer able to live on their own safely but do not require the high level of care provided in a nursing home. Assistance with medications, activities of daily living, meals and housekeeping are routinely provid-ed. Cost per month can vary from

$2,500 to $4,000. Three meals a day are provided in a central din-ing room. Residents live in private apartments that frequently have a limited kitchen area.

Nursing homes provide around-the-clock skilled nursing care for the frail elderly who require a high level of medical care and as-sistance. Twenty-four hour skilled nursing services are available from licensed nurses. Cost per mont can vary from $4,000 to $8,000. Many nursing homes now provide short-term rehabilitative stays for those recovering from an injury, illness or surgery.

With the memory impaired, it is important to have 24-hour support and structured activities to ensure their safety and quality of life. Cost per month can vary from $3,000 to $7,000. Alzheimer’s care is deliv-ered in the Assisted Living setting, as well as in Nursing Homes and oc-casionally in Personal Care Homes.

Whichever senior housing op-tion you may choose for yourself or a loved one, it’s important that you do your homework first and famil-iarize yourself with the various op-tions available. In many cases, an eldercare advisor can assist you in making the right decision.

Do you know anyone who hasn’t taken a financial hit in the last year or two? Between pen-sions, 401K’s, IRAs and regular old stock, just about everyone is a little poorer than they were two years ago. Mortgages are upside down and getting refinanced is tough. 70 million baby boomers are wondering if their money will last as long as they do. No other generation has really had such a dilemma. No wonder people ap-proaching retirement are so con-cerned. Past generations worried about living long enough to collect their retirement. Who would have thought about outliving our sav-ings?

Now it’s a whole different ball-game. Retirees and near-retirees have so many concerns and options never before available. All of us are not only concerned about being able to take care of ourselves as we age, but we worry about medi-cal bills that threaten to eat up our nest eggs, leaving little if anything for our children and grandkids. Our treasured 401K’s have been hit by the shenanigans on Wall Street. How do we recoup the loss? Should we downsize? Should we use a reverse mortgage? How do

we protect the nest egg that we’ve worked so long and hard to build?

We help people every day who are facing these problems. For instance, last week we met with a couple in their early 70’s, with three children and five grandkids. Unfortunately, its not just seniors who have been hit by this recession, and this couple worried about the future of their fam-ily if they weren’t around. They also wanted to be sure that they wouldn’t become a burden on their family in the future. Sounds all too familiar, doesn’t it?

They also had concerns about outliving their in-come –would it last until age 80-90 or beyond?

We reviewed all of their impor-tant documents and investments. After all was said and done, we helped the Simons’ minimize or eliminate the “at-risk” elements of their estate by discussing “safe harbor” ideas (like converting to a Roth IRA) which helped en-sure they would never run out of

income, and we also helped plan their final legacy their grandchil-dren would never forget them. In the end, the Simons felt confident that their family would be safe. That’s what mattered most to them. Their grandchildren would remem-

ber them fondly.Another cli-

ent referred his friend, a retired bank manger, to us. He was now 93, and he’d been retired as a bank manager since the early 80’s. His health was deteriorating and becoming a major financial concern. Now he was worried that he might not

be able to afford long term care if anything happened to him or his wife. Many of his friends required rehabilitation for falls or illnesses. He worried what would happen if this became necessary for him.

Fortunately, our new client was wise enough to do something about this possibility. After all, the aver-age monthly stay in a long term care facility lasts from three to five months and costs nearly seven

thousand dollars. Those costs can quickly wipe out a nest egg. We discussed steps he could take to protect his assets from quickly evaporating should that happen and worked on a plan of action using new generation annuities along with Modified Endowment policies to accomplish this purpose. Now, he no longer has to wonder “what if” a catastrophic medical event occurs.

Fortunately, there are many options available to seniors today that simply did not exist ten or fifteen years ago. There are options to help protect your nest egg from taxes. A reverse mortgage may let you remain in your home but also free up cash flow. This is important if any emergency arises or the kids need help. Financial safety is as important as your physical safety. Protecting you nest egg is vitally important, not just for you but for your children. Don’t jeopardize everything you have worked so hard to achieve. Call now for your free one hour consultation with us. 1-877-99-KOVEN

If you’d like more information on, financial, or insurance mat-ters call Allan and Dan Koven at 877-99-KOVEN (877-995-6836). Their offices are conveniently located in Anaheim.

You know your cholesterol scores, your blood pressure and perhaps you take a variety of medications for conditions such as arthritis or osteoporosis. Yet many people over age 65 are unaware of what may be severely limiting their lives and overall health, one of the top major health risk factors as ag-ing occurs is - loss of muscle mass, or sarcopenia.

Like other chronic conditions, sarcopenia is a serious degen-erative affliction that affects older adults' function in many forms; from being able to push oneself up off an easy chair to contributing to falls and other injuries, says Dr. Balu Gadhe of CareMore Health Plan. The major health risks as we

age include falling, fractures and immobility Hip fractures due to falls in seniors, can have serious consequences including nursing home confinement and even death.

These risks can be greatly reduced with moderate resistance training regardless a person's age or overall health status, Dr. Gadhe says. Dr. Gadhe says that muscle mass declines by about 15 percent per decade in individuals in their 60s and 70s and about 30 percent thereafter. "But this loss can be re-versed, which is the good news for all seniors," he says. It is becom-ing more of common knowledge among elderly adults that fitness is an important part of healthy aging. "Sedentary mature adults will lose

muscle mass faster than those who exercise", says Dr. Gadhe.

Research has shown that among older adults, strength training is more important than an aerobic fitness program. New guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine recommend that older adults begin with resistance training before they embark on activities such as swimming or even walking. "If resistance train-ing were in a pill, it would be the best selling medicine of all time," adds Dr. Gadhe. Because of the tre-mendous health benefits associated with exercise in the over-65 age group, CareMore has pioneered a resistance training program for members of its health plans in

partnership with Nifty after Fifty, a senior-only fitness center. "In just six weeks, by working out with very light weights a few times per week, we can typically improve strength significantly in even the frailest patients," says Dr. Gadhe. "Among seniors and their doctors especially, the term sarcopenia needs to be part of vocabulary when we talk about our health sta-tus as we grow older," he stresses. For more information about Care-More's senior exercise programs and the locations of the CareMore/Nifty After Fifty facilities, please contact www.caremore.com .

Muscle degeneration is a leading cause of inactivity, frailty and other chronic conditions among seniors

train, and to relieve themselves there was a crude hole in the floor. On the third day, they stopped at the Polish-German border where the families were separated between men and women. The children stayed with their mothers.

Everyone had to strip down na-ked and wait in line to get food for the first time in three days. He was then deloused with powder. He soon met back with his father, and they were all put on another freight train where they cried and prayed

that they would live. When they arrived in Berlin, each family was assigned to different camps. The Borowski family eventually was taken to Fulda, a slave labor camp, and they were sent to a barrack where they were given two cots for all five of them.

The next day they were assigned jobs—Richard’s mother was sent to be a seamstress to make the Ger-man uniforms and his father was assigned as a welder. Borowski was assigned three jobs—one was to deliver food to the guards, anoth-er was to clean the bathrooms, and the third was to go around through the barracks and remove the bod-

ies of those who had died during the night. He would use a wheel-barrow to transport the remains to a crematory to be burned. His two younger brothers were sent to the hospitals to be experimented on by the Nazis. He would never see one of his brothers again.

Finally, on April 26, 1945, all of the guards evacuated the camp and a rumbling could be heard in the distance. Suddenly, tanks from the 82nd Airborne Division pulled in through the barbed wire to liberate them.

His family eventually moved to America, but Richard Borowski

would never forget the atrocities

that he witnessed and endured dur-

ing the thirty months he and his

family survived in a Nazi concen-

tration camp.

He also does not want the world

to forget what happened during

that terrible time, and that is why

he volunteers to speak at local

schools. His daughter and grand-

son Jack, a Walker Junior High

student, are very proud of him and

were also present May 21 to hear

his story.

Dr. Urban on Today’s Dentistry

Snoring, teeth, and acid reflux

In previous articles have discussed sleep apnea, acid erosion

and worn out teeth. What do they all have in com-mon? Why is my dentist

concerned about acid reflux? Don’t teeth get worn out when we get older?

Dentists examine your teeth for premature wearing of the tooth surfaces. Some people’s teeth ap-pear very short while others stay relatively unchanged. If the teeth are misaligned premature wear patterns will develop very early in life. That is why we recommended orthodontic correction in young

adults. However, if a young adult has straight teeth yet they have abnormal wear, dentists look for other causes.

Abnormal wear can occur from inadequate lubrication from the saliva (dry mouth), an acid saliva, or from habitual grinding or gnash-ing of the teeth during the day and while we are asleep. It has been es-timated that 30% of young children grind their teeth while sleeping. This usually disappears when the baby teeth are lost and replaced by the adult dentition. Unfortunately, adults only have one set of teeth to get by with for a lifetime so den-tists take teeth grinding (pardon the pun) very seriously.

Sleep grinding episodes are related to sleep disorders. Severe snoring and pauses in breathing seem to trigger more grinding. Also, as you know the mouth is dryer at night and there is no lubri-cation (like well- greased bearings) to keep the teeth from abnormal

wear and tear.Acid reflux disease (GERD)

can be the cause of disturbed sleep patterns. The acid contents of the stomach can gurgle up into the mouth while we are asleep. The acid level is similar to gargling with battery acid. It is very erosive and will quickly dissolve your teeth if left untreated.

So we now have the perfect storm of events occurring. As you can imagine with nighttime dry mouth, acid erosion, and teeth gnashing your dentition is in a very hostile environment. I hope you can better appreciate why your dentist may show concern over abnormal tooth wear.

The teeth will look extremely flat and worn. They will wear in odd patterns and lose a lot of verti-cal height. Eventually, spaces will appear at the gums between the teeth and you will look old before your time. Your dentist should take periodic close up photos of your

teeth to monitor change.What is the treatment for this

problem? First, your physician should be made aware of acid indigestion and general sleepiness. Others around you may have heard uncommon snoring or mentioned a look of tiredness. Your physician may order a sleep study test to rule out sleep apnea (a life threatening problem). GERD will definitely require a change of diet, loss of weight, and usually medication. Your dentist will be able to provide a customized mouth guard to wear at night to protect the remaining teeth. Once stabilization is reached you may require restoring the teeth to their original condition.

Early detection and treatment will certainly keep the worn denti-tion from developing so quickly.

In previous articles I have discussed sleep

apnea, acid erosion

occur in the hospital and also when the patients return home," said (name) of CareMore. "Moreover, by coordinating care with their colleagues, they can use hospital resources at a more efficient level because they do it all the time. Conversely, most family practice physicians spend less time in the hospital. They often see their

patients on the way to the office in the morning – and spend the rest of the day managing patient care by phone between office visits." Dr. Zinberg cited data that com-pares the average length of stay for the group’s managed senior patients with that of family physi-cians and specialists directly ad-mitting and caring for their senior patients at the same hospitals.

“Our average length of stay was less than half that of those physicians and our readmission

rate was also lower. This tends to underscore the value and effective-ness of a hospitalist system,” he said.

Managing a patient from the emergency room, through testing, overseeing their treatment, and also ensuring their further care at home, requires Dr. Holzner and his team of hospitalists to spend more time with hospitalized patients than office-based doctors.

He says they divide their time between the hospital's

emergency department, the medi-

cal floors, the intensive care unit

and also in the various outpatient

clinics the group has established

to care for the frail-elderly. "I was

trained in a university hospital set-

ting where I saw all kinds of life

and death situations. It's very sat-

isfying to see very ill patients get

better and go home. That’s why I

became a physician.”
