Speaker 1 (00:01):
Eight thirty nine. If you do have care, see the
talk station Happy Monday to you got the Bright Bark
Insight Scoop and the Daniel Davis Deep Dive tomorrow. Always
enjoy talking to those folks, and I always enjoy talking
to folks helping out the American veteran. And I really
praise the work that the Cincinnativa has done and improvements
they have made over the years trying to do their
(00:21):
best for the American veteran. We hear from Todd Sledge
all the time, and today we get the benefit of
having Christina Hall from the Cincinni via at All to
talk with us this morning about some programs that are
available for caregivers of veterans enrolled in VA healthcare. Christina,
welcome to the program. Thanks for coming on.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hi, thank you very much. Nice to be here, and.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Thanks for the work that you do on behalf of
the American veterans. Got a lot of them in my
listening audience, and I do whatever I can to help
spread the word about the benefits that are out there
for veterans. I was like to say, this is healthcare
that you earned. You didn't get paid as much because
they get the DD two FOURT discharge. You're going to
get some great healthcare. Tell my listener about the programs
(01:02):
you have here for caregivers of veterans.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yes, so we have a very robust program for caregivers.
We have two programs that fall underneath caregiver support. One
is our general program, and that's really the core of
the backbone of our program. We provide skills training, self
care and stress management strategies, peer support, coaching, all sorts
of different social gatherings, and just things to kind of
(01:30):
help the caregivers have a relief, have a respite and
also support their own mental health. And then we also
have a comprehensive program, and in that program, if the
veteran qualifies, they are able to receive a financial stipend
to help offset caregiving costs, and they get wellness visits
and access to enhance rescite services and insurance for their
(01:52):
caregiver if they're not all ready insured.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
All right, So both programs are designed to help the
actual caregiver themselves. With the second ones, sounds like that's
an opportunity for the twenty four to seven you know,
family member caregiver to get a relief.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Very much so, yeah, and you know, the goal really
is to try to help keep a veteran in their
home as long as possible, if that's their goal, and
so the comprehensive program really helps with that. So rest
it can look like home health care where someone comes
in and helps out the caregiver. It can look like
adult day health where maybe a veteran wants to go
to a program during the day to get out of
(02:27):
the house of bit and engage with others. And it
also can be a short term stay. And maybe our
contracted nursing home, our nursing home at the VA, say,
if the caregiver has a surgery or a trip that
they need to go on and they're not able to
have full time care for their veteran, they may be
eligible to access some of those services.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
All right, Now, do you find in terms of the
general program, and again this is these are programs that
are offered to the caregivers themselves as to stink from
the available services for the veteran. But do you see
any particular type of a service you offer through the
general program as being like the most widely used or
the most popular, or something that you know people are
gravitating towards in a larger percentage.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yes, And actually it's been interesting because everyone really thinks
at the VA, you know, Okay, everything is geared towards
the veterans, so it has been a little difficult to
get the word out right. Yeah, we have services for
caregivers as well, and so I think some of the
ones that people really have really taken to. We have
a program going on with Mustang Journey, which is a
program out in gosh In, Ohio or yeah, Wilds. Yeah,
(03:32):
and so we've organized I think we've been there six
times so far. We've had trips out there where it's
just been the caregiver if they'd like a little bit arrested,
and then we've also set up where they can bring
the veteran that they care for. Is the veterans well
enough to go? And that's been awesomely.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, I had the Mustang Journey people in my program
all going back a couple of months or so. But
that what a cool organization.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Oh, they're awesome. Yeah, And Troy Day is a veteran
himself and so has a passion working with our folks.
So that's been wonderful. Some caregivers who haven't participated a
lot before when they saw that post as they reached out,
so oh yeah, I'd really love to do that. Yeah,
probably have been our most popular, but we also have
you know, I would say a lot of veterrends in
(04:15):
our program have dementia or parkinson or als, and so
some of the more popular programming pieces are when we
offer conditioned specific workshops and talks so that the caregiver
can feel empowered to understand the condition, to know how
to work with it within their veteran and you know,
learn some tips and tools and connect with other caregivers
that are taking care of veterns that have similar issues.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, and we're learning so much more and more about
how to properly cope with and treat someone who's struggling
with dementia. It isn't the old days of arguing with
them about you know, no it's not no, there isn't
a burd ness living in your bed. No, no, no,
it's you. Really, there's no way to overcome what is
in their minds, so you just kind of have to
(04:56):
learn to roll with it, which I thought was an
unusual way of coping with it. But yeah, you're not
causing them cognitive distress by arguing with them when they
have this firmly convinced, you know, belief in their mind.
As crazy as it is, you just got to learn
to kind of roll with it and you know, walk
them through the challenge that's presented you. So that that's
something that I suppose caregivers need to learn. And it
(05:17):
can be very frustrating, knowing what my father went through,
which you know, up to his death, and it's just
it's not it's the most nefarious disease I think that's
out there. So I'm glad you have a program to
help caregivers cope with that and the challenges that they face.
We're going to continue with Christina and we're going to
talk about some of the common conditions that veterans struggle with,
(05:37):
whose caregivers are enrolled with with the program and activities
and events, as well as some upcoming events that we
want to talk about. We'll be back right after these
brief words. Fifty five KRC the talk station, Ay Neighbor Home.
Here's you Channel nine First Warning Weather forecast, final look
(05:57):
at the weather. It's going to be human today. We
know that it's going to be maybe rainy, needing some
torrential downpours. These storms and rains supposed to show up
after noontime and a very humid day. If I didn't
mention that, eighty seven for the high, partly cloudy, which
is slight chancel rain over night, seventy to low eighty
six to the high tomorrow again very human and a
possible afternoon storm. Partly cloudy overnight again muggy and seventy
(06:20):
for the low eighty three or high on Wednesday with
cloudy skyes seventy eight degrees. Right now, time for final
traffic From.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
The UC Health Traffic Center. You see health as expert
trauma care focusing on prevention, treating injuries, and supporting long
term recovery and rehabilitation. Learn more at ucehealth dot com.
Northbound two seventy five, it's an accident off onto the
right shoulder before Milford Parkway. Traffic's still running slow back
(06:47):
from State Route thirty two, and more slow traffic southbound
seventy five between the Lachland Split and Town Street on that.
He sound like I'm fifty five kr C the talk station.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Ifink about CATERCD talk station right timas with Christina Hall
from the Cincinni VA talking about the programs that they
have at the VA for those who are caregivers for veterans.
So moving away from veteran healthcare, we need to take
care of those who are providing in home care for
our veterans. And you mentioned like, for example, how to
cope with and deal with veterans are struggling with Alzheimer's.
(07:23):
But what are the some of the more common conditions
that veterans have whose caregivers are enrolled in your various programs.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I would say a lot of other veterans are struggling
with Parkinson's DIVI. We've seen an ouptick in those conditions. Als,
traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder, final cord injury,
vision impairment, multiple sclerosis, So a number of conditions that
really pop up that those are some of the more common,
and the caregiver doesn't necessarily have to be a lot
(07:52):
of times you think of the spouse as a caregiver,
but we have caregivers in the program who are children
of veternds, who are siblings, some in our general program
who are neighbors. Are people that kind of help out
the vetern and take them to appointments and things like that.
So there's a broad definition of caregiver. It's really someone
who's involved in that veteran's life and helping them be
able to live independently.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
And God bless each and every one of you. If
you're in that role, it's just a it's a beautiful
thing you're doing for the for the veteran. That sounds
to me like maybe some of the training might involve
physical therapy.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, we work a lot with physical therapy. We also
have a program that is called Safe Patient Handling and Mobility,
so they work with the caregivers to teach them, you know,
the veteran falls. What are the steps is something that
you can handle. If you're a very tiny spouse, you know,
trying to lift a larger veteran, you may need to
call nine one one as opposed to try to lift.
But then they also talk about different devices and supports
(08:47):
that can help, and then occupational therapy pops in to
see if there's any adaptive devices or ramps or there's
grants to apply for to get improvements made to your home.
So we coordinate with those programs well well.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Smoothing out all the challenges folks face now. But in
terms of what kind of activities or events does the
Caregivers Support Program offer.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, so we do. Social support is a big piece
of it. So we just had a Caregiver summit. We
coordinated with the DAV a couple of weeks ago and
had a big event and we talked about the importance
of connection and making sure that caregivers are connected to
other people, because it can be kind of isolating if
your identity is that of a caregiver and your focus
(09:33):
is just taking care of someone else, who can lose
track of taking care of you. So lots of work
around that. We have social hours at least once a
month where folks can come and connect with other caregivers.
We also have a lot of online support so if
you can't leave the home, say you don't have care
for your veteran, but you really want to connect, and
you can join virtually or over the telephone. We have
(09:55):
a support group every other week. We have different workshops
and classes. We have an online workshop coming up at
the end of July that talks about the foundations of
caregiving as well as self care and stress management. And
the big event that we're working towards is in November.
November is actually National Family Caregiver Month, so national bas
we support caregivers throughout that month. So we're going to
(10:15):
be having all sorts of events like a self care
fair where folks can come in and learn about aroma
therapy and yoga and taichi and all that good stuff
that can help them relieve their stress when they have
a few moments.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I'm glad to provide the social support and these other
outlets for the stress that they obviously face. I think
it's unless you've lived through it and seen it, it's
a stress that I think most people just don't fully appreciate.
It's like, oh, well they're taking care of a love,
one big deal, But now there's a whole lot more
that goes on beyond that. So the July workshop, the
November events, where can my listening audience get the information
(10:50):
to hook up with these various programs.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
We have a local hotline that they can call. You
can inquire about any questions that you have if you're eligible,
and that's one three four seven five six three six six.
And we also have a caregiver a national caregiver website
that's wonderful and it does have links to our local
and that's just www. Dotcaregiver dot VA dot gov.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Caregiver dot va dot gov. All right, and again the
number five one, three, four seven, five sixty three sixty
six or caregiver dot va dot gov. So get in
touch with that. Take advantage of these wonderful opportunities. Make
you feel better personally. Obviously, learn skill sets to help
you deal with the veteran you're caring for. Christine, I
(11:35):
can't thank you enough for doing what you're doing at
the CINCINNATIVA and for taking care of my veterans as
well as the caregivers are helping out the veterans each
and every day. It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Absolutely my pleasure.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, you stay, take care and I'm always here for
you if you want to let people know more about
this information, but check out the July workshop and the
November workshop. Get involved and improve the care you're providing,
but also improve yourself at the same time. That's what
the CINCINNTI is all about. And veterans take advantage, you
earn the benefits. I recommend enrolling. We hear from our
(12:06):
various Cincinnati Veterans Service offices on this program all the time.
Clairemont County Veteran Service Commission, Hamilton County Veteran Service Commission,
Warren County. Every county's got one, and they are great
about helping you secure the benefits that you've earned as
a consequence of your service. So D two to fourteen
discharge pretty much the only hurdle you've got and some paperwork.
(12:28):
So if you can't figure it out at since any
dot VA, dot gov, just get in touch with the
local veteran service community. They will help you in immeasurable ways.
Great show this morning, sad topics subject matters. Ken Cober
of FLP President and the violence that's going on and
the problem since a police apartment faces, plus the morale
(12:49):
man it is not Ken did not paint a pretty picture.
And Christopher Smith aman on the same topic, and of
course even people out in the greater Cincinnati community saying, listen,
where are our elected officials dealing with this violence trend?
Why are they so damned quiet about it? Why don't they,
you know, express out loud direct support for the officers
(13:10):
and try to come up with a solution to the
problem that we're facing, an ever growing problem. A little
disheartening to find out that the justice system may be
the failure in this. And I'm not talking about the
police wing of the justice system. I'm talking about the judicial.
You can have a prosecutor that wants to prosecute a
kid for a curfew violation, but if you have a
magistrate that doesn't want to do that and chuck the
(13:32):
case out, I guess it's a pointless gesture then even
going after them in the first place. And when you
have a counsel and a mayor who do not express
out loud support for the police, I think we can
all draw our conclusions as to how they feel about
the police. Generally speaking, Bright Part inside Scoop, the Daniel
Davis Deep Dive tomorrow in the fifty five Cassey Morning
(13:54):
Show podcast when you can't listen live here what Ken
Cober had to say straight from his own words there
at fifty five cast Com and Christopher Smitheman as well
podcast right there and your iHeartMedia app as well. Thank
you Joe Strecker as always for producing the program. I
will look forward to talking with the bright bart folks
and Daniel Davis tomorrow and I hope you have a
wonderful day. Try to make it a good one, and
(14:14):
don't go away because Glenn Beck is coming right up.
Big things are happening, breaking news happening. Now we'll tell
you more at the top.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Of the hour.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Is Tool Aggressive and over the top fifty five KRC,
the talk station
Eight thirty nine. If you do have care, see the
talk station Happy Monday to you got the Bright Bark
Insight Scoop and the Daniel Davis Deep Dive tomorrow. Always
enjoy talking to those folks, and I always enjoy talking
to folks helping out the American veteran. And I really
praise the work that the Cincinnativa has done and improvements
they have made over the years trying to do their
(00:21):
best for the American veteran. We hear from Todd Sledge
all the time, and today we get the benefit of
having Christina Hall from the Cincinni via at All to
talk with us this morning about some programs that are
available for caregivers of veterans enrolled in VA healthcare. Christina,
welcome to the program. Thanks for coming on.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hi, thank you very much. Nice to be here, and.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Thanks for the work that you do on behalf of
the American veterans. Got a lot of them in my
listening audience, and I do whatever I can to help
spread the word about the benefits that are out there
for veterans. I was like to say, this is healthcare
that you earned. You didn't get paid as much because
they get the DD two FOURT discharge. You're going to
get some great healthcare. Tell my listener about the programs
(01:02):
you have here for caregivers of veterans.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yes, so we have a very robust program for caregivers.
We have two programs that fall underneath caregiver support. One
is our general program, and that's really the core of
the backbone of our program. We provide skills training, self
care and stress management strategies, peer support, coaching, all sorts
of different social gatherings, and just things to kind of
(01:30):
help the caregivers have a relief, have a respite and
also support their own mental health. And then we also
have a comprehensive program, and in that program, if the
veteran qualifies, they are able to receive a financial stipend
to help offset caregiving costs, and they get wellness visits
and access to enhance rescite services and insurance for their
(01:52):
caregiver if they're not all ready insured.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
All right, So both programs are designed to help the
actual caregiver themselves. With the second ones, sounds like that's
an opportunity for the twenty four to seven you know,
family member caregiver to get a relief.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Very much so, yeah, and you know, the goal really
is to try to help keep a veteran in their
home as long as possible, if that's their goal, and
so the comprehensive program really helps with that. So rest
it can look like home health care where someone comes
in and helps out the caregiver. It can look like
adult day health where maybe a veteran wants to go
to a program during the day to get out of
(02:27):
the house of bit and engage with others. And it
also can be a short term stay. And maybe our
contracted nursing home, our nursing home at the VA, say,
if the caregiver has a surgery or a trip that
they need to go on and they're not able to

Yes, And actually it's been interesting because everyone really thinks
at the VA, you know, Okay, everything is geared towards

get the word out right. Yeah, we have services for
caregivers as well, and so I think some of the
ones that people really have really taken to. We have
a program going on with Mustang Journey, which is a
program out in gosh In, Ohio or yeah, Wilds. Yeah,
(03:32):
and so we've organized I think we've been there six
times so far. We've had trips out there where it's
just been the caregiver if they'd like a little bit arrested,
and then we've also set up where they can bring
the veteran that they care for. Is the veterans well

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, I had the Mustang Journey people in my program

that what a cool organization.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Oh, they're awesome. Yeah, And Troy Day is a veteran

to hook up with these various programs.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
We have a local hotline that they can call. You
can inquire about any questions that you have if you're eligible,

Caregiver dot va dot gov. All right, and again the
number five one, three, four seven, five sixty three sixty
six or caregiver dot va dot gov. So get in
touch with that. Take advantage of these wonderful opportunities. Make
you feel better personally. Obviously, learn skill sets to help
you deal with the veteran you're caring for. Christine, I
(11:35):
can't thank you enough for doing what you're doing at
the CINCINNATIVA and for taking care of my veterans as
well as the caregivers are helping out the veterans each
and every day. It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Absolutely my pleasure.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, you stay, take care and I'm always here for
you if you want to let people know more about
this information, but check out the July workshop and the
November workshop. Get involved and improve the care you're providing,
but also improve yourself at the same time. That's what
the CINCINNTI is all about. And veterans take advantage, you
earn the benefits. I recommend enrolling. We hear from our
(12:06):
various Cincinnati Veterans Service offices on this program all the time.
Clairemont County Veteran Service Commission, Hamilton County Veteran Service Commission,
Warren County. Every county's got one, and they are great
about helping you secure the benefits that you've earned as
a consequence of your service. So D two to fourteen
discharge pretty much the only hurdle you've got and some paperwork.
(12:28):
So if you can't figure it out at since any
dot VA, dot gov, just get in touch with the
local veteran service community. They will help you in immeasurable ways.
Great show this morning, sad topics subject matters. Ken Cober
of FLP President and the violence that's going on and
the problem since a police apartment faces, plus the morale
(12:49):
man it is not Ken did not paint a pretty picture.
And Christopher Smith aman on the same topic, and of
course even people out in the greater Cincinnati community saying, listen,
where are our elected officials dealing with this violence trend?
Why are they so damned quiet about it? Why don't they,
you know, express out loud direct support for the officers
(13:10):
and try to come up with a solution to the
problem that we're facing, an ever growing problem. A little
disheartening to find out that the justice system may be
the failure in this. And I'm not talking about the
police wing of the justice system. I'm talking about the judicial.
You can have a prosecutor that wants to prosecute a
kid for a curfew violation, but if you have a
magistrate that doesn't want to do that and chuck the
(13:32):
case out, I guess it's a pointless gesture then even
going after them in the first place. And when you
have a counsel and a mayor who do not express
out loud support for the police, I think we can
all draw our conclusions as to how they feel about
the police. Generally speaking, Bright Part inside Scoop, the Daniel
Davis Deep Dive tomorrow in the fifty five Cassey Morning
