The New Year is upon us which brings a great opportunity to reflect on 2017 while thinking about all that is to come in W Di ! 2018! The Aging & Disability Resource Center has much to I !! be proud of in 2017 but the stand out accomplishment was, without a doubt, the transition to and development of our own central kitchen located in Fall Creek. I think it goes without saying that serving over 300 meals every single day to every corner of Eau Claire County is an impressive feat in and of itself. If you think about it, what other programs are able to deliver a hot meal, in person, to over 300 homes throughout 645 square miles within an hour timespan? That alone is worth celebrating! We are so excited to be preparing all of our own meals, from scratch, out of the kitchen in Fall Creek. Of course with any big transition, there are bumps along the way. It has been amazing to be a part of this transition and, all things consider, has gone smoother than anyone expected that it would. That is entirely because of our phenomenal staff, board members, community partners and volunteers. We couldn’t have done this without you. THANK YOU!!!! Our focus in 2017 was simply to get through this transition. Now, our focus in 2018 is fine tuning so we can be as efficient and effective as possible. To all our recipients of Meals on Wheels and the diners that join us at any of the meal sites, thank you for your patience through this process. We really want to hear from you about what you like, dislike and what is going well or could be improved. Please don’t hesitate to give us a call with your feedback, 715-839-4735.

Conflict Over Caregiving Is Common Families can take steps to minimize disputes If caring for an older person is causing conflict within your family, you are not alone. Conflict is often part of family caregiving situations. Even the best of intentions to help mom or dad may cause tension. Because everyone approaches things differently, each family member’s opinion about what is best for mom or dad can vary greatly. But there are steps you can take to keep family conflict at bay when dealing with caregiving concerns. Why the conflict? Different attitudes toward family caregiving,
depending on personality or family situation, can lead to conflict and alienation between siblings and other relatives. Sometimes the family member with the strongest personality dominates the decision-making process or takes on caregiving responsibilities without consulting other family members. Some family members might deny there is a need and be unwilling to offer assistance. There are situations where people who have their own children to care for expect an unmarried or childless sibling (or other relative) to take on caregiving responsibilities. The unmarried family member may not welcome this expectation.

Tips for Flu Season !
The flu, or influenza, is a respiratory disease. Two main types of virus - type A and type B - cause the flu. The flu is spread from person to person when droplets of moisture from a person with the flu are spread through the air from coughing, sneezing, or talking. There are many ways to protect yourself from the illness and from spreading it if you have it, including: !Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. !Cover your cough or sneeze with your upper sleeve, and try to avoid touching your face with your hand. !If you use a tissue, throw it away after one use. !Never share drinking cups, straws, and utensils. !Avoid being exposed to people who are sick with flu-like symptoms. !Eat nutritious meals, get plenty of rest, and do not smoke. !Frequently clean commonly touched surfaces, like doorknobs, refrigerator handles, phones, and faucets. If you’re sick, stay home. Get rest, drink plenty of liquids, and avoid using tobacco and alcohol.

Stand in the Light Dementia Chorus The Stand in the Light Chorus had their fall/winter concert on Thursday, November 16th at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd with more than 300 people in attendance! The evening included special guests, Barry Anderson and Jen Burleigh-Bentz, poems, instrumentals, familiar songs, and refreshments. Singing is beneficial to everyone and singing in a choir is especially good for the mind, body, and soul! The Stand in the Light Chorus is for people in the early to mid-stages of memory loss and their care partners. The spring session will be starting up on Thursday, January 11 through Thursday, April 26, 2018. Weekly rehearsals will be from 9:30 – 11:00 am at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 1120 Cedar Street, Eau Claire. Donations are accepted to help cover the cost of the choir such as music binders, scarves, and general supplies. For more information or to register for the choir, please call the Aging & Disability Resource Center at 715-839-4735.
