We are not going to walk away from it. "It's a passion that we like to do and we will continue to do so".a

Seminar helps major planning services

ENID - As Eunice Khoury sees it, there are two types of people who plan to care for themselves or a loved one when you need services for older adults.

"Those who have assets and understand if they do not have a plan that will lose all worked for," said Khoury, and"those who wait for a crisis event and begin the wagons circle."

Khoury, an insurance agent and the sponsor of the "Well-preserved" radio program, says statistics that hit home. In 2006, more than 360,000 residents of Oklahoma were unpaid caregivers. 4 Million dollars of unpaid service they represent. They must often leave their jobs in order to meet the demands of caring for a sick relative, said Khoury.

Some 250 people turned out Thursday morning at Oakwood Mall for a seminar on the care of people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The seminar was sponsored by the network of life Khoury, superior and NODA area on aging Agency.

The keynote speaker was Betsy Broyles, daughter of ' Broyles of the former Arkansas Razorbacks coach Frank and his wife, Barbara Broyles. When Barbara it was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, the family knew little about the disease and how it might affect their lives.

To help other families who care for a loved with dementia, Frank Broyles wrote a book, "Guide for caregivers of Alzheimer's disease," which outlined a social, not a doctor, model for families.

Jeff Long, representative of Department of Veterans Affairs, also spoke, saying to the public many families believe veterans benefits cease once the veteran dies. It is not always the case, he said that for a long time.

Judy Rupp, Coordinator of care for NODA AAA and Tom Wade, director of AAA NODA, also spoke of his agency and which can offer elderly and their families.

Many agencies that provide services set up booths at the seminar to answer questions and deliver books and other useful items.

Crystal Pritchett, Manager of greater resources and benefits LLC, said that its business is simply providing information on Medicaid, Medicare, will and Social Security.

"We do not sell all kinds of products," said Pritchett. "We give them the information that is available." "Educate them about the benefits and let them decide."

Other exhibitors include Golden Oaks retirement Village, companion by grace attention service, MAGB transportation, Hospice circle of love, Greenbrier Village, Wheatheart nutrition, Amy Stittsworth Funeral Service, Commons, Alzheimer's disease support group, Renaissance, Enid Senior Care, Kenwood Manor, downtown living, home of Sterling and Integris under home health care.
