MorningStar Casa Sandoval is honored to welcome vets to our beautiful senior living community in Hayward, CA. When one of our nation’s heroes requires assisted living, we do all we can to help them figure out ways to pay for the services they need. After all they put their lives on the line and demonstrated raw courage and self-sacrifice when required to ensure we could continue to enjoy our freedoms.
If a potential resident is a vet, we encourage them to contact the Department of Military/Veteran Affairs to speak to a Veteran Service Officer (VSOs) for help in securing an “Aid & Attendance” monthly benefit pension. This is a special benefit intended for qualifying vets who have physician orders for regular assistance with the activities of daily living. To qualify, the vet must have served for at least 90 days of active duty and have served at least one day during a period of foreign war. In addition they must have been discharged in some way other than a dishonorable discharge. Beneficiaries need not have served overseas, retired from the military or seen combat; however a surviving spouse must have been married to the Veteran at the time of death and never remarried. We strongly encourage you to use VA accredited individuals to help you prepare and file a claim as federal law dictates that no one may help a Veteran in the preparation of an initial claim for VA benefits unless the person is accredited.

Hayward residents may be unfamiliar with the MorningStar Senior Living Company, which recently took over the management of the Casa Sandoval senior living community so please allow us to introduce ourselves. The MorningStar Company was founded more than 15 years ago by Ken Jaeger whose intention was to create senior housing that felt like the loving atmosphere of his grandmother’s Midwest home. We now have senior living communities scattered throughout the Western US.
We sincerely believe our astounding success is attributed to a mission statement of honoring God in our business practices and relationships; valuing all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals; and investing in our team's ability to serve well. MorningStar communities are also deliberate in the type of culture we strive to create, which is why it is important for us to hire individuals that believe residents are to be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. MorningStar’s Casa Sandoval offers 233 bright suites for independent living and assisted living, and each of our stylish apartments is a true home designed to provide residents privacy, comfort, and security. We also offer a whole range of resort-style amenities such as an onsite theatre/chapel, billiards lounge, ice cream parlor, fitness center, general store, a salon and more. For residents’ convenience, Casa Sandoval has garage parking as well as scheduled transportation, and offers beautiful prepared meals served restaurant-style under the direction of our Executive Chef. Our community is located in the East Bay region just 25 miles south of San Francisco, and under MorningStar’s management, Casa Sandoval is getting a full renovation of the property from stem to stern.

While many of us may have experienced our first telemedicine visit with a doctor during the coronavirus outbreak, healthcare professionals say they think telehealth is most-likely here to stay. According to a recent survey from Sage Growth Partner (SGP) and Black Book Market Research, almost a quarter of the respondents had a telehealth appointment before the pandemic and 59 percent said they were willing to use telemedicine. Another 33 percent report that they would even switch healthcare providers to one that did telehealth visits.
Lisa Mazur, a partner at McDermott Will & Emery that specializes in digital healthcare space, explains, “Telehealth was already experiencing significant momentum and growth prior to this public health emergency, and its continued trajectory has been solidified by the vital role it is playing in care delivery today.” Furthermore doctors themselves feel better about telemedicine with the changes that insurers such as Medicare and Medicaid have made that include paying physicians the same rates for both virtual and in-office visits. No doubt as more and more physicians and patients become comfortable with the process and insurers view it as a way to help reduce cost, it is sure to be around long after the pandemic is over. Another boost to telehealth medicine is the coming together of technology and medical care with “innovations such digitally connected stethoscope, infrared thermometer and otoscope among others.” Professionals say the ability to digitally connect devices with patients will greatly improve the quality of care and allow it to be as effective as in-patient visits.

Research has found that people who have a more positive attitude toward aging appear to do better. Remember there are many things that older adults are good at including what is known as crystalized intelligence, which is gained through a lifetime of learning and experience.
Research also shows that unlike many common myths about older people being grumpy that most are happier and more relaxed than when they were younger. Scientists are uncertain why this is but hypothesize that it could be due to the fact that “older people might control their emotions better, and focus more on how to make the most of life.” In addition while many seniors report waking up during the night and may go to sleep earlier and wake earlier, the majority say they get a restful night’s sleep. Another benefit to old age is that for people who have suffered most of their lives with migraines, once you are in your 70s, a majority of them report no longer having them. If you are part of the 10 percent of women or 5 percent of men still having migraines, you may not experience pain but rather visual or sensory disturbances. Another plus to growing older is that many people report feeling more confident. The American Psychological Association’s annual “Stress in America” report found baby boomers and older adults report less stress than their younger counterparts. And when they do experience stress, many older adults say they manage it better. Finally researchers have found that Americans 60 years of age and older are the fastest growing block of voters and a whole lot more likely to vote. This is typically good news for seniors as older voters tend to vote on issues concerning them such as Social Security, Medicare and healthcare.

Source: webmd.com/healthy-aging/ss/slideshow-aging-surprises If you or a loved one is in need of daily care to ensure your safety and wellbeing, you may be weighing options such as in-home care services versus assisted living. Most experts suggest a good way to start is to make a list of all the areas in which you or your loved one needs assistance on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
From a strictly affordable standpoint (we know there is much more to it), the rule of thumb to determine if in-home care services or an assisted living community is less expensive is does the person require more than 40 hours of paid care a week? If that’s the case, then assisted living is most likely cheaper. Also remember that in-home care is a piecemeal approach and each additional service you need adds to the cost of care. Moreover in senior living communities like MorningStar’s Casa Sandoval, individuals in assisted living receive 24/7 care from our compassionate, trained care managers in the activities of daily living (ADL). Another benefit of our assisted living community is it is designed to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobile aids as well as has bathrooms equipped with handicap grab bars, and suites equipped with emergency call systems. Many people get sticker shock when they learn how much they will pay for assisted living, but you need to remember that virtually all your living expenses including food as well as care services are factored in. No longer will you pay out-of-pocket for home insurance, property taxes, heat, electricity, trash pickup, cable, and Internet service. In addition you will not be hit with unexpected repair bills and routine upkeep on your home. Other services and amenities Casa Sandoval provides to our residents include a fitness center, a movie theatre, beautifully prepared meals served restaurant-style, enrichment activities, and more. However we consider our most important asset to be our dedicated staff and their devotion to our residents.
