2018 Social Security Changes The Social Security Administration recently announced that beneficiaries will receive a 2% increase in 2018 due to the cost of living adjustment. Starting in January, individuals receiving the following benefits: Social Security retirement, survivors, and disability, will see a modest increase in their monthly benefit amount. People who receive the federal needs based benefit Supplemental Security Income (SSI), will see their monthly benefit increase from $735 to $750. The Wisconsin state supplement for SSI will remain the same at $83.78. Remember, Social Security retirement, survivor, and disability benefits are paid out one month after they are earned. Therefore, beneficiaries will not receive the increased benefit amount until February. Additionally, beneficiaries who pay a Medicare Part B premium will likely not notice a net increase in their Social Security benefits because the increase will go towards paying their Medicare Part B premium. Also, Social Security has a “hold harmless� provision that protects beneficiaries from paying the full amount of a Medicare Part B premium if the Social Security benefit checks did not go up by a corresponding amount. This provision protected beneficiaries from incurring the full increase in the Medicare Part B premium (a $12.20 increase) that occurred in 2017; however, with a 2% increase in Social Security benefits in 2018, this will cause beneficiaries to be responsible to pay a larger portion of the premium increase. For 2018, the maximum Social Security benefit for a worker retiring at full retirement age is $2,788.

Dark chocolate helps keep your blood vessels healthy and your circulation unimpaired to protect against type 2 diabetes. The flavonoids in dark chocolate also help reduce insulin resistance by helping your cells to function normally and regain the ability to use your body's insulin efficiently. Dark chocolate also has a low glycemic index, meaning it won't cause huge spikes in blood sugar levels.
Employee Spotlight My name is Dawnelle Horvath and I am one of the Options Counselors at the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Eau Claire County. I graduated from the College of St. Catherine way back in 1986 with a degree in social work. I have worked in various settings including nursing homes and 17 years a case manager in the mental health field. I came to the ADRC from the Eau Claire County Department of Human Services in March of 2013. Although I enjoyed my work as a case manager, my move to the ADRC has been a positive one. It has brought with it new challenges and a large learning curve. an options counselor I assist adults with disabilities and those over age 60 as well as their caregivers in As identifying and evaluating their long term care service options. I work a great deal with youth in transition. I guide them through the change from children’s services to adult services. Working with the schools, younger adults and their parents is a new role for ! but is one I have come to love. me I have seen many success stories in my time with the ADRC. It is amazing to see how a little bit of help can go so far to help someone achieve their goal of remaining independent and in their own home. I love that part my job. I enjoy the great team I work with and how we work together of to bring about the best result for those we are working with. I appreciate the commitment of the ADRC to the work we do. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family. I especially love when my daughter is home from school. I love my animals and how much they make me laugh. I enjoy walking, making cards and Dawnelle Horvath, Options Counselor scrapbooking.

For many caregivers caring for someone living with dementia, trying out a new service, such as respite care, can be challenging and a bit scary. Spending the money to do so can also cause added stress and anxiety. The Aging & Disability Resource Center has purchased gift certificates for supportive home care, adult day services, massage therapy, and music therapy. The gift certificates were purchased utilizing funds through the Alzheimer’s Family Caregiver Support Program (AFCSP). AFCSP is a program created by the Wisconsin legislature in 1985 in response to the stress and service needs of families caring at home for someone with irreversible dementia. It provides funds to assist families by helping them obtain and pay for goods and services to provide quality care at home. Funding can be used for Trying in-home respite, adult day services, personal care services, adaptive Out a equipment, home delivered meals, transportation to name a few. For more information about AFCSP or to learn about eligibility for the gift certificates, contact the Aging & Disability Resource Center 715-839-4735.

Memory Screenings….What YOU Should Know Memory screenings are a quick and easy way to give your brain a checkup. Each screening takes about 10 minutes and consists of questions and tasks which test memory and critical thinking skills. Options Counselors at the Aging & Disability Resource Center can conduct the memory screenings in the office or your home at no cost to you. If the screening indicates that you may have a memory problem, make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your results and arrange further testing. The results of the memory screening are not a diagnosis of a particular illness or ailment, but rather an indicator that you should seek additional medical follow-up…just like your blood pressure! Early detection of memory issues is critically important and enables your doctor to identify the underlying condition and treat it or slow it down as soon as possible. Many times, memory issues can be a symptom of conditions other than dementia such as an infection, medication interactions, depression, dehydration, chronic pain, vitamin deficiency, fluctuating blood sugar, or thyroid problems. If you do receive a diagnosis of dementia, you have the opportunity to make your best choices, focus on what’s important to you, partner with your doctor, learn more about dementia and available resources to you and your family. Schedule your memory screening by calling Aging & Disability Resource Center at 715-839-4735 today!

Alzheimer's Disease and Importance of Music Therapy
Listening to a radio or CD brings pleasure to anyone, especially when it's music that a person always enjoyed, but when a person experiences any type of brain trauma such as Alzheimer's, there are areas of the brain that are damaged and the ability to organize thoughts and information is impaired. Some songs may cause traumatic flashbacks or anxiety if the song is associated with a disturbing event that occurred. Use of a radio can often become "background noise" and sometimes even disturbing. Music Therapists structure music sessions based on the preferred songs of the client and their current deficit and goals created by family, to facilitate clarity and meaningful interactions. The client may participate in playing along on a rhythm instrument, singing, or clapping their hands. This improves the brain organization! With improved brain organization during sessions, a person’s mood can improve with decreased anxiety, decreased pain from release of endorphins, and they can experience joy again. When a person hears music, it immediately goes into the brain through the auditory cortex and hears and Recognizes the music, and shares that information throughout the brain. Long-term memory centers are also located throughout the brain One that appears to remain intact throughout Alzheimer's disease is located in the auditory cortex, which explains why someone that can't recall what they ate for lunch, can still remember music from their childhood. Singing along to music stimulates motor/speech centers in the left brain, reading words to familiar music stimulates the posterior brain (back of brain), recognition of the melody is processed in the right hemisphere of the brain, then frontal areas of the brain (executive functioning/problem solving areas) also become organized because of the structure of the music, therefore allowing the person to feel in control of the situation. If you are interested in giving Music Therapy a try, the Aging & Disability Resource Center has gift certificates available through Western Wisconsin Music in Medicine.

When Caregiving Ends
No matter what, life after caregiving will be a transition and will be a difficult adjustment. Here are some points to consider to help you when your job as caregiver has ended. •
Long-term dreams and goals will make this transitional time easier.
•
Time helps – while you will never forget your loved one, as time passes it will become easier to find your way in life without that person.

Taking care of a loved one takes a lot of time and energy. Your own needs move lower on the priority list as you spend more time caring for your loved one. As your loved one needs more assistance it is tempting to just drop out of everything so you can be there for the person as much as possible. While your intentions might be good, giving up things you enjoy also has negative consequences. The stress of intense caregiving can put your physical and mental health at risk now and leave you vulnerable when your role as caregiver is over. When deciding what activities to give up to be a caregiver, don’t just think about your life situation now but also ask yourself the question, “What will I do when I am no longer needed as a caregiver?”
I have been spending a lot of time thinking about what a caregiver’s life is like when caregiving ends. The death of my Keep attending your caregiver father left my mom with an entirely new life ahead of her. support group, join a grief support She went from having her days filled with caring for my dad to group or find a trusted friend to a world in which she lives alone.

Finding a new routine for her life now is a little easier because Look for new challenges – job, she remained involved with those activities.

Reflect on what you’ve been through, be proud of the good work you did for your loved one and let go of any guilt.
! Change is the name of the gamereshaping your life and creating a “new normal”, but it is not done overnight. Give yourself time to find your way.
Even if you don’t want to think about the death of your loved one, start creating a plan for what your life will be like after caregiving has ended. It isn’t selfish to look at the future in which your caregiving role is over; it is simply practical and healthy. If you are able, involve your loved one in this discussion as they most likely want you to be happy, too. Life after caregiving happens, and it may even include a new, fulfilling adventure.

Transition of Care is the movement of an individual from one setting of care (hospital, ambulatory primary care practice, ambulatory specialty care practice, long-term care, home health, rehabilitation facility) to another. For various reasons, individuals may be inadequately prepared for discharge to the next setting. Being inadequately prepared Questions to ask can lead to several issues including medication errors, before discharge: postponed follow-up care and re-hospitalization, which can decrease quality of life for the patient.
