Thank You for all of the Input In April, we sought out as much feedback as we could get to help us put together Eau Claire County’s Aging Plan for 2019-2021. We called the in-person meetings ‘listening sessions’. Multiple people commented that they were attending to listen. Little did they know, the listening was for the ADRC to do and the talking was for those that attended! We are so grateful to everyone that took the time to attend an in-person listening session, respond to our online survey, call in survey and/or paper survey. When it was all said and done we received feedback from over 200 individuals! We asked about combating loneliness, healthy aging, caregiving, dementia and accessibility. After compiling all of the information that we received there were a few common themes that we heard throughout all of these areas. First, almost everyone talked about a need to increase awareness of what programs and resources already exist in the community. We hope that we can continue to tackle this through some new and creative ways over the next three years. But remember, the best way to build awareness is word of mouth so please continue to tell people about the ADRC! Second, we heard a lot of comments about transportation barriers being an issue for people and we will definitely continue to explore this more in depth. Last but certainly not least, there was an underlying theme offering more intergenerational programs and services. For example, providing education to elementary or high school students about brain health and dementia or creating a buddy/mentor program pairing an older person with a student. There are so many great ideas that we were able to gather from all of you! The next step is pulling it all together and writing out the goals that we plan to work on over the course of the next three years. We will definitely be sharing those with all of you once we have them completed. Thank you, again, for taking the time to provide us with your input! It is important to us that Eau Claire County remains a place that helps and supports citizens as they age.

ADRC & Myth A recent TV show addresses popular held beliefs, using scientific experiment. One example of a myth: we use only 10% of our brain. An MRI scan proved otherwise, our brains are fully engaged all the time. BUSTED! As a member on the ADRC Board, I wanted to experience what ADRC (Aging, Disability, Resource Center) does, what it’s like to access services; and what is the process for someone to learn more. I actually make a phone call—as though I might be a potential client—that seemed a good way to find out. My call was answered promptly and upon hearing my name I was no longer incognito—however that wasn’t my purpose. I explained I would like to experience the ADRC system similarly to any resident checking on the programs, either for themselves or for a family member.
I was transferred to a staff member who asked me a litany of questions and then the process could move forward by my bringing in a large number of supporting documents for both assets and income. Having recently completed my tax return, many of those documents were easily accessible. While “proof” documents; i.e. bank statements for 3 months & paystubs for 3 months, those where a bit more cumbersome to come by with the advent of financial transactions now taking place online. In the process I noted two things; #1) the compassion & patience of those on the other end of the phone line in helping me know what I needed and how to access it and # 2) the thoroughness in the number of items required that would eliminate any one “scamming” the system. It took a couple days to gather everything needed with some documentation only available by calling for info held in dated files. MYTH: Many people easily scam the system receiving benefits they are not eligible to receive. Not easy; BUSTED! With the amount of time & energy it took me; some may not be willing to put together all the documentation required. That was proven when days later an associate said, “My mother said she wouldn’t take the time to pull together all the paperwork needed to apply.” (Even though she might be eligible.) Based on my assets and income, much to my surprise, I was eligible for Food Share benefits. It was then I really had to explore the feelings that came with that for me—shame. Shame is a painful, social emotion that can be seen as resulting from comparison of the self's action with the self's standards, but which may equally stem from comparison of the self's state of being with the ideal social context's standard. I looked deeper within myself and my circumstances. Many females growing up in the 1950’s-1970’s time period or earlier, were stay-at-home mothers; we weren’t developing careers and building retirement nest eggs or Social Security resources for our ‘golden years’. Many of us are now living alone on limited incomes.
Connect with ADRC today & learn the multiple of resource programs available. Just a few are: • Strong Bones programs • Dementia & Alzheimers support • Meals On Wheels • Transportation • the list is much longer
I have also learned that the easiest budget item to cut back on is food. Most cost of living expenses (mortgage & utilities) are set. There are other ways to cut; cable can be disconnected and an antenna can bring in plenty of stations. Trash pick-up for one person can be reduced to every other week; with a reduction in cost—at least my company was receptive to that. It was in my food budget where I could make the most cuts when needing to pay bills on time. Cutting back on healthy foods could impact health and thus even potentially raise health care costs if not eating properly. After completing the process and learning I was eligible for Food Share; those resources were activated within one week of application. These resources are federally mandated and if not used by our State, are passed along to other states. Shame; bust that one! There is no shame in needing to ask for help; whether it’s from family and friends or from programs that we paid into over a lifetime of working.

The Aging & Disability Resource Center has Music Therapy gift certificates available through Western Wisconsin Music in Medicine. The gift certificates are for those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias.
MUSIC CAN ENHANCE YOUR LIFE Music is a powerful tool in so many ways. Whether you need to reduce stress, relieve loneliness, or are looking to connect with a loved one, music can be a curative answer for both the caregiver and the one being cared for. Listening to music can be enjoyable and beneficial for anyone. Hearing music from your youth promotes memory and opens the window to laughter or tears. Caregiving brings about a wide range of emotions including joy, sadness, frustration and guilt. Music reaches into your soul like nothing else, bringing to the surface those feelings that are often unnamed. Releasing pent up emotions through music can be healing and renewing. Music can reach a person whose ability to communicate is affected by dementia, stroke or other disease. Listening to favorite songs with your loved one is a wonderful way to share time together. Music helps a person feel calm and relaxed, reduces stress and promotes wellness. Playing soothing music during a meal might increase the amount eaten, or make unpleasant tasks more bearable. For the past or current performer, playing an instrument or singing offers a way to express feelings that are hard to put into words. Picking up an instrument or singing out loud is fun and is a great way to remember the “good old days.” The goal isn’t to impress anyone, just to express yourself and have fun. Making music for or with a grandchild can also be a delightful activity. And for the person who has never played an instrument before, beating on a drum or shaking a tambourine to some music can be fun as well as relieve stress.
