Letter From The Editor

Welcoming The New Year!

Offered by: Susan Kline - The Brighton Buzz

As the final days of December

are making their way into the history books, we’re looking back on 2021 as a transformational year. We’ve moved beyond the time of not having solutions to many overwhelming problems to adjusting to how we can live with the solutions that have been created this year.

It’s amazing the backdrop of everything we do is orchestrated by a pandemic that changes its definition almost daily. Mutations of the disease have notable qualities that almost always become the director of our everyday activities.

Many positive things have happened in 2021 and we’ve begun to make the effort to bring a more likable normalcy back to our lives. Proceed With Caution might be a good catch phrase to use while expressing the enthusiasm we all have for opening up our lives.

We, at the Brighton Buzz, are thankful for the year we’ve had and the collective progress our business community has experienced. We look forward to 2022 and know our knowledge learned from this year will help us to reap more benefits in the coming year.

We’re Wishing Everyone, A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I was thinking about what to write for this month’s article, I started to think about resolutions. When it comes to Medicare, you might need a few reminders as to what your plan could do for you as part of your New Year’s resolutions.

If you have a plan that includes a Fitness benefit like SilverSneakers or Renew Active, don’t forget this gives you a national gym membership to any gym that participates in one of these programs. You just need to show them your benefit card and you’re in!! This gives you access to multiple gyms in the area. It’s really great.

Most Medicare Advantage Plans (not Medicare Supplements) also give you over-the-counter credits on health and wellness products. They usually offer a quarterly dollar amount that has to be used each quarter or it’s gone. This dollar amount can be used in their products catalog and some companies even give you a card to use at a local store. Have you been putting off taking vitamins or supplements? You can use your over-the-counter credits to get them at no cost to you! You can also get items like shower stools, blood pressure cuffs, first aid items, and so much more. If you’re not sure if you have this benefit, I can help you find out.

I hope you all stay safe and healthy. Please let me know if I can help you. 720-626-6524.

Many adults have aging parents who need living and health care assistance. There are several resources today that can help them grow old gracefully, either in their existing home or in a facility, along with multiple options for financing the cost of the care.

Depending on the independence of your parents, living alone in their existing house may be an option. However, you may need to make several modifications — some of them expensive — to make their home environmentally safe and suitable for an aging person. For instance, important safety features such as a first-floor bathroom, grab bars in hallways in bathrooms, and an emergency response system may be necessary.

If your parent requires assistance with meals or chores, there are several services which can provide support, such as Meals on Wheels, which are free for anyone over 60.

You can also consider an in-home aide if your parent needs additional personal assistance.

Living with Family

Some families choose to move an aging parent into their own home. If you can do this with minimal conflict, this can be beneficial as it avoids having to maintain a second home and of course can be less expensive. If your parent has dementia or other health issues, adult day care can be helpful, as it allows them to socialize with other adults.

Assisted living

If your parents are independent and can care for themselves, they may be eligible to enter a continuing-care retirement community, where they can rent (or purchase) an apartment and be eligible for nursing care, if it becomes necessary. Consider purchasing long-term care insurance, which can help pay for nursing home costs or the cost of an in-home aide.

Nursing home

If your parents need more extensive care and require a nursing home, research the options extensively. You may need to reserve a space far in advance, as waiting lists are often long at popular facilities. The government provides limited financial assistance for families paying for nursing home care. Financing long-term care can be a tremendous challenge for many adults.

Financing long-term care

Medicare will only pay the full cost of professional help if a physician certifies that your parent requires nursing care and if the services are provided by a Medicare-certified home health care agency. However, Medicare will pay for nursing home care for the short-term only, with benefits restricted to low-income individuals with limited assets.

You can offset some of these costs, as you can claim a federal tax credit up to $3,000 off the cost of in-home care or day care.

You can use a flexible spending account, too, which helps your pay for a certain amount of covered expenses with pretax dollars.

With the cost of elderly care continually on the rise, financial planning can be an important step in providing adequate support for your parents’ future well-being.

Happy New Year – Looking Forward to 2022 Offered by: Jan Hepp-Struck, Hepp Realty

W

e made it through the roller coaster known as 2021, and though I’d love to say we can all just “sit back, catch our breath, and relax for a spell”, well, I just don’t see that in the cards. I think it’s safe to say that life as roller coaster ride IS our new norm and we all need to hold on tight, look for ways to help make our community and our world a better place, and celebrate the rainbows and silver linings along the way!

In terms of the real estate market, the Realtor.com economists and experts’ 2022 Housing Forecast is not much different from last year’s. There is every reason to believe that 2022 will continue the upward trend for sellers, though at a slightly less chaotic pace. Here are the highlights to watch for in 2022: 1. Mortgage rates are expected to climb a little more throughout 2022, probably reaching somewhere around 3.5% by last quarter. If you aren’t planning to sell or haven’t refinanced recently, you may still want to consider refinancing now to take advantage of rates that are still near historic lows.

2. Home prices are expected to continue rising, though at a slower pace for 2022, and the rise will be more market dependent.

3. The bidding wars and sales over listing price aren’t going anywhere but may calm down some depending upon the specific market.

4. Housing inventory will remain limited, but not as bad as the last couple of years.

As always, we’re here to help you with your buying and selling needs. Working with an experienced and proven Realtor® is always the recommended path to avoid unnecessary pitfalls and obstacles when you are ready to make a move. In the meantime, we wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!

For proven expertise in establishing your home value and/or searching for a new or existing home, please call Jan at (303) 520-4340.

you know, inflation heated up in 2021, following years of pretty stable – and low – numbers. And now, early in 2022, we’re still seeing elevated prices. As a consumer, you may need to adjust your activities somewhat, but as an investor, how should you respond to inflation?

First, it helps to know the causes of this recent inflationary spike. Essentially, it’s a case of basic economics – strong demand for goods meeting inadequate supply, caused by material and labor shortages, along with shipping and delivery logjams. In other words, too many dollars chasing too few goods. Once the supply chain issues begin to ease and consumer spending moves from goods to services as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes, it’s likely that inflation will moderate, but it may still stay above prepandemic levels throughout 2022.

Given this outlook, you may want to review your investment portfolio.

First, consider stocks. Generally speaking, stocks can do well in inflationary periods because companies’ revenues and earnings may increase along with inflation. But some sectors of the stock market typically do better than others during inflationary times. Companies that can pass along higher costs to consumers due to strong demand for their goods – such as firms that produce building materials or supply steel or other commodities to other businesses – can do well. Conversely, companies that sell nonessential goods and services, such as appliances, athletic apparel and entertainment, may struggle more when prices are rising.

Of course, it’s still a good idea to own a variety of stocks from various industries because it can help reduce the impact of market volatility on any one sector. And to help counteract the effects of rising prices, you might also consider investing in companies that have a long track record of paying and raising stock dividends. (Keep in mind, though, that these companies are not obligated to pay dividends and can reduce or discontinue them at any time.)

Apart from stocks, how can inflation affect other types of investments?

Think about bonds. When you invest in a bond, you receive regular interest payments until the bond matures. But these payments stay the same, so, over time, rising inflation can eat into your bond’s future income, which may also cause the price of your bond to drop – a concern if you decide to sell the bond before it matures. The impact of inflation is especially sharp on the price of longer-term bonds because of the cumulative loss of purchasing power.

However, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) can provide some protection against inflation. The face value, or principal amount, of each TIPS is $1,000, but this principal is adjusted based on changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index. So, during periods of inflation, your principal will increase, also increasing your interest payments. When inflation drops, though, your principal and interest payments will decrease, but you’ll never receive less than the original principal value when the TIPS mature. Talk to your financial advisor to determine if TIPS may be appropriate for you.

Ultimately, inflation may indeed be something to consider when managing your investments. But other factors – especially your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals – should still be the driving force behind your investment decisions. A solid investment strategy can serve you well, regardless of whether prices move up or down.

is hard to believe that a new year is upon us!

Perhaps you are like me and saying where did the time go? We have all been taking one day at a time and the pandemic has forced us to slow down, whether we like it or not. As we reflect upon the past year, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your business and support of the Rippy Agency. We have been honored to serve our community since 2013 and offer over 60 years of collective industry experience in our agency.

In November, the Rippy Agency was honored to be named the 2021 Small Business of the Year by the Greater Brighton Chamber of Commerce.

We would not be here if it weren’t for many of you, and for that, we are grateful.

We had 56 children who were adopted from our 9th Annual Angel Tree and received gifts from our community over the holiday. In addition, we provided gifts for a family with five children. This would not have been possible without so many generous people in our community.

With the New Year here, what are your resolutions? Maybe your resolution is to not have resolutions! It takes a minimum of 21 days for an old mental image to dissolve and a new one to gel, but it takes 66 days to form a habit.

Instead of making a resolution you know you’re going to break, wait until you are ready and the success will follow. Let us know if we can help review your auto, home or life insurance needs and have a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR from the Rippy Agency!

L

ast month, we provided an overview of the four typical types of estate plans. Now, let’s look at how you actually produce an estate plan that will allow things to go smoothly for your family after your disability or death. If your plan won’t work, why bother having one?

Avoid Probate

|

If you can’t answer “Yes” to these questions, you may want to investigate a more thorough process of estate planning. Just having a set of documents is not the answer to eventual success. It is simply a false sense of security.

If you would like to learn more about an estate planning process that is producing great results for families, visit: www.EstatePlansThatWork.com to sign up for a complimentary educational workshop.

Plans That Work.

People Who Care.

Effective estate planning is not an event. It is a process! If you would like your estate plan to produce results, you need to undertake a process through which you carefully craft instructions, align your assets with the plan, and regularly adjust and maintain the plan. Simply buying a Will or Trust document is like going to your financial advisor, choosing specific investments, and then never looking at them again. That would not be wise.

You should carefully look at your estate planning attorney’s process for maintaining your plan over time. Do they have a formal process for keeping the documentation up to date regarding legal changes and changes in your personal situation? Does your attorney have a process for notifying you when legal changes necessitate an adjustment in your plan? Does the attorney remind you periodically to review your plan to make sure it still meets your goals, and have a way for you to do so quickly and easily? Does the attorney work with you to ensure that your current and future assets stay properly aligned with your plan? Does your attorney have a process for helping prepare you and your family for the transitions that will come upon your disability and death?

Offered by: UE Legacy Beef

Legacy Beef has been providing Premium Colorado beef to family and friends for quite some time. Through hard work and determination, we were able to stay and grow and 104 years later, now into our 5th generation, our family tradition of providing Premium Colorado beef to friends and family continues. Here is what a few have to say: “After nearly two decades of purchasing from this company it is an honor to highly recommend it to anyone that loves great beef. Raising my children on this aged and hormone free beef has produced a second generation doing the same for their families.

The taste and quality is incomparable to anything that can be purchased commercially. Whether grilling a steak, slow cooking a roast, searing chicken fried steaks or burgers on the grill, friends cannot believe the difference in the taste!”

– Cotton Family “We have been buying Legacy Beef for more than six years and we have always been very happy with our meat. After moving to Oklahoma from Colorado we still purchase our meat from them.

We feel we are purchasing from a rancher of integrity and that makes it worth the trip.”

– Judy Williams We are delighted to invite YOU to join our ever-growing circle of friends and family! Check us out at uelegacybeef.com.

How long before retirement do I need to prepare for Medicare coverage?

Offered by: Integrity Insurance of Brighton

T

his is not the main priority of many people approaching 65 and perhaps retirement. It is a time in life to celebrate the move out of the work force for some, decrease health costs possibly, and a time to adapt to a change of how time will be spent.

As anyone who has turned 65 will tell you it is also a frustrating time because of Medicare eligibility! Your phone will ring repeatedly with offers to assist you with Medicare. Your mailbox will fill for months with letters, postcards, and flyers.

So why all the fuss?

Well, Medicare can be a complex undertaking depending on each individual’s situation. There are decisions that could affect your healthcare for as long as you are on Medicare. Another question is “What will it cost?” For some that can be a straightforward answer, for others, planning is essential as higher income can cause your monthly Medicare costs to increase significantly.

Maybe working past age 65 and delaying Medicare is your plan. Then you have other considerations with Part D and HSA accounts. A lifetime Part D penalty can be triggered if you stay on employer Rx coverage and it is not creditable for Medicare.

Being informed will help you to avoid penalties and tax consequences when you begin Medicare.

I can help! With an introductory meeting by phone, virtually or safely distanced you can put your mind at ease as you approach Medicare eligibility. Not to mention the annoyances of phone and mail solicitations can be minimized. I’m local and my services are always at no cost to my clients. Call me at 303-887-8584 to get reliable answers.

Celiac Disease

Offered by: Richard W. Martin, M.D.- Brighton Pediatrics, P.C.

I

magine being the only child at a birthday party who can’t have a piece of cake. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease triggered by the ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible children. Gluten is a complex protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. For a child with celiac disease, the gluten in as little as 1/250th of a piece of bread can damage the inner surface of the small intestine that absorbs nutrients and cause a range of problems. About one person in one hundred has celiac disease.

Celiac disease may be difficult to recognize because the symptoms are shared by so many other disorders. Confusingly, celiac disease may present with diarrhea but almost as frequently with constipation. It may also present with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. Surprisingly, celiac disease may also cause problems as varied as hair loss, anemia, recurrent mouth sores, depression, and delayed puberty.

If your child’s doctor thinks your child might have celiac disease, she or he can order a blood test that measures antibodies against the enzyme tissue transglutaminase, which is increased in celiac disease. It is still recommended to confirm the diagnosis with an upper GI endoscopy, because following a lifelong gluten-free diet is both necessary and difficult.

For a child with celiac disease, ingestion of even a tiny amount of gluten may cause damage to the lining of the intestine that takes months to heal. Any food that contains any form of wheat, barley, or rye must be carefully avoided.

Although oats are inherently gluten free, they are often contaminated in the harvesting and milling process. Therefore, only oats that are labeled as gluten free should be eaten. Eating out can be difficult unless a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. It may not always be obvious when foods contain gluten—for example, soups and sauces that are thickened with flour, chicken that has been dipped in flour, or meatballs mixed with flour. It is important to check ingredient labels carefully. Fortunately, more gluten-free alternatives are becoming available in grocery stores with a certified gluten free label.

Eng Orthodontics & Colorado Smiles Offered by: Rachel Eng - Eng Orthodontics

E

ng Orthodontics is pleased to share with our community the exciting news that in order to best serve all of the children in our community, we have created a sister-company called Colorado Smiles Orthodontics.

This new orthodontic practice will be dedicated to serving the children in our community who utilize Health First Colorado Insurance, Colorado’s Medicaid program.

Eng Orthodontics and Colorado Smiles Orthodontics are both owned and operated by Dr. Albert Eng who is dedicated to continuing excellent patient care for all patients at both orthodontic practices.

Eng Orthodontics will continue serving all of our private insurance and selfpay patients. Dr. Albert Eng will be the orthodontist for all Eng Orthodontics patients at the Brighton and Fort Morgan locations. Dr. Jaanki Patel will be the orthodontist for all Eng Orthodontics patients at our Reunion location.

Colorado Smiles Orthodontics will be serving all of our Health First Colorado patients. Dr. Jaanki Patel will be the orthodontist for all Colorado Smiles Orthodontics patients.

We believe that by having an orthodontic practice dedicated to Colorado’s Medicaid program, it will allow our team to be dedicated experts in Health First Colorado insurance policies which will allow us the ability to work towards having more cases approved for treatment. This will enable more children in our community to access the benefit of quality orthodontic treatment.

Eng Orthodontics and Colorado Smiles Orthodontics are both open and ready for new patients. We have gone above and beyond to ensure that all of our offices are held to the highest level of sterilization and are taking every precaution necessary, ensuring a safe and healthy environment during this time.

lue Ribbon Hearing & Tinnitus Center is the only full-time, locally owned, independent hearing care office in the Brighton area. We specialize in providing the best technology and service available. Being an independent company allows us to find the best technology available on the market, instead of being beholden to a single manufacturer or parent company.

Most hearing companies send out thousands of mailers to get people in for special events, and rely on as much sales volume as possible to cover advertising and overhead costs. Others focus on selling as many hearing aids as possible at the lowest cost, without concern for serving the patient after the sale. We rely on our reputation for excellent service, minimal advertising costs and low overhead to provide the best possible price on premium hearing aid technology.

We view hearing aids as an extension of a person and their overall health.

Better hearing does not simply mean getting a device that amplifies sound and sticking it in your ear. A thorough exam, thoughtful hearing aid selection, customized fittings and programming, and personalized counseling and follow up are all critical to ensuring an individual is attaining the best hearing possible given their specific hearing loss.

Along with hearing aids, we provide custom hearing protection and other ear health products for everyone. Preventing hearing loss is more effective than treating hearing loss. And treating hearing loss sooner rather than later is a preventative measure against cognitive decline and dementia.

As we move forward into 2022, we want to say thanks to everyone in the community who supported us, and all the other local small businesses in 2021.

We look forward to being able to continue to prove that we are “Dedicated to Your Best Hearing.” Please call today to schedule your comprehensive hearing test or second opinion consultation.
