As we are heading into the 3rd month of a new year and a new decade it’s important to remember some of our goals from the beginning of this year. One of those may have been to eat healthier. Every li le bit of good, healthy nutri on is a step in the right direc on. Small goals and changes can have a healthful impact. Good nutri on can be kept simple; it doesn’t have to become overwhelming.
A few ps to help you stay on track with healthy ea ng:
Make half your plates fruits and vegetables. Eat a variety of vegetables, especially darkͲgreen, red and orange. If ea ng canned vegetables, choose reduced sodium or noͲsaltͲadded.
Drink more water. Quench your thirst with water instead of drinks with added sugar. Stay hydrated, especially if you’re a ac ve or work in hot condi ons.
Get to know food labels. It can help you shop, eat and drink smarter.
Vary your protein choices. Eat a variety of proteins such as seafood, nuts, beans, peas, lean meat, poultry and eggs.
Limit sodium, solid fats and added sugars. Look out for salt, or sodium in your foods. Use spices and herbs to season your food without adding extra salt. Limit saturated fats such as pizza, baked goods, sausages and other processed meats. Drink water instead of sugar sweetened beverages. Select fruit for dessert instead of sugar filled baked goods.

Enjoy your food but be mindful of por!on sizes. Most older adults need fewer calories than in their younger years. Avoid oversized por ons by using smaller plates, bowls and glasses.
Cook more o$en at home. Where you are in control of what’s in your food. When ea ng out, choose lower calorie menu op ons, choose dishes that have vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Por on sizes tend to be larger at restaurants so share a meal or take half of it home for later.
Slow down at meal!me. Instead of ea ng on the go, sit down and focus on the food you’re about to eat.
If you have special dietary restric ons consult a registered die!cian to help you create a customized ea ng plan.

April 1 is Census Day, the reference day for ques ons on the 2020 count. Census results play a crucial part in determining how government en es allocate hundreds of billions of dollars each year for services on which communi es rely. Certain groups of people historically have been undercounted in the census; people who are blind or visually impaired, or who have a disability that makes reading regular print difficult. On March 12, the Census Bureau will mail households an invita on to respond to the census. For the first me, households will have three ways to respond: online, by calling a tollͲfree number, or by mail. The ques onnaire takes less me to complete than drinking a cup of coffee. In midͲApril, census workers will begin visi ng homes that haven’t responded to collect informa on in person. Visit www.census.gov for more informa on.

Senior Exercise: Is it too late?
Physical ac%vity is important during all periods of the lifespan. However, some may argue that the older one gets, the more important physical ac%vity is. There are numerous benefits of being ac%ve including reduced risk for: cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, certain cancers, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and chance of falls. In addi%on, being ac%ve increases muscle and bone strength, mental health and mood, ability to perform Ac%vi%es of Daily Living, sleep quality and quan%ty, and chances for living longer. Being ac%ve can lead to improvements in some medical condi%ons including demen%a (including Alzheimer’s), heart disease, diabetes, cons%pa%on, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and inability to sleep.

ging & Disability Resource Center is staed with caring people from a wonderful mix of educa3onal backgrounds & experiences. Social work is one of them. The theme for Social Work Month 2020 is Social Workers: Genera ons Strong. The theme has various meanings. As we enter a new decade it is important to look back and honor the powerful, posi3ve impact the social work profession has had on our society for genera3ons. The Na3onal Associa3on of Social Workers (NASW) also wants to spotlight the lifeͲaďŹƒrming work that social workers from all genera3ons Ͳ from the Greatest Genera3on to the Z Genera3on Ͳ are doing.
Tips Regarding Interactions with Guide Dogs Katherine Schneider, County Board Member and ADRC Board Chair 1. When owner and dog arrive, greet them in a relaxed manner. Do not rush up to them. 2. Ask and teach your children to ask if they can greet or pet a guide dog. That way the owner knows you’re around and can tell you his/her rules. 3. Feeding someone’s guide dog is never a good idea. 4. Offer assistance if you want; guide dogs are wonderful, but can’t read street signs. 5.
Enjoy watching the guide dog human teamwork, but please don’t stare or follow the team.
6. Don’t rush to judgment. If you’re concerned about a safety issue, give the owner immediate spe cific feedback like “There’s an electric car coming up silently on your left� helps more than: “Watch out!� or “Your old dog was better.�
This month we thank our social workers: pictured left to right: Andrea, Lisa, Sue, Dana, Jenna, Jessica, Dawnelle
7. Please control your pets when around a guide dog team. Un controlled dogs jeopardize the safety of dog guide teams (even playful puppies). Ask the guide dog owner if they and their dog would like to meet your dog.

MARCH 4 MEALS
The Meals on Wheels program in Eau Claire County serves a hot, made from scratch, noon meal to approximately 400 homebound seniors every day. All the meals are made locally in our kitchen located in Fall Creek. We believe that good nutri%on will help seniors maintain healthy minds, bodies and ul%mately their independence. Some of our program funding comes from the seniors we serve in the form of a monthly dona%on. These par%cipants are oUen on fixed incomes and are ba?ling the rising cost of living. Lately we are seeing a significant decrease in par%cipant dona%ons which greatly impacts the program, but that also says our homebound senior ci%zens need more help. One year of Meals on Wheels per par%cipant is the same cost of one day in the hospital. 11% of Wisconsin seniors struggle with hunger, deciding between medica%on, housing or food. We would like to offer business leaders and community partners an exclusive opportunity to help by sponsoring a route for homebound seniors in Eau Claire County. March 4 Meals is a campaign for the Meals on Wheels program and our par%cipants. Here is how it works: For a oneͲ%me dona%on you will sponsor meals for our local Meals on Wheels Par%cipants.

“The River of the Past and the River of the Future flow into the Pool of Now.” 13 Living Well with Demen a I love this particular quote because it reminds me of the importance to embrace Capturing A Moment the now, this very moment that has been given to me, to live in the moment of By Russell Martoccio now, not yesterday, for yesterday is gone and not tomorrow, for tomorrow is not promised to me. I like to think that I grow older not in years but newer every day. Even though my mind is impaired by dementia each day can be a new discovery of joy and fascination. I try not to let myself focus on what I have lost but on what has been left to me, which is a great deal. I only need to aspire to these ideals. On occasion I find myself watching the world spin by, dwelling on the past and contemplating the flood of futures that my come my way. What if I were not borne along on the flood but in it? The enterprise is to keep afloat on an even keel, get out of myself, act as if things are fine and seize those moments of clarity that come my way. One of my ports of stability is the ADRC memory support groups. We are normally people who would not mix. But there exists among us a fellowship, a friendliness, and an understanding which is indescribably wonderful. The feeling of sharing a common peril is the element that binds us. For me this is the solution, to be able to open up and share changes that I am going through at that moment, all the while knowing that my conversations will be held confidential. One special moment that is coming my way is the advent of spring. The subtle signs that the earth is finally awake after a long winter’s sleep are all around me now. Ice breaking up and creeks flowing again. Everywhere I sense a certain quickness. After half a year of frozen silence, spring is a miracle of rebirth, a time of rare beauty and blossoming promises. Enjoy this day!

Caregiver Guilt
We’ve all felt it. That nagging feeling like we’ve done something wrong; failed. It keeps prodding at you. You could have done more, done be er; and now you’ve let someone down. Guilt. The person you’ve failed or let down the most is probably you! You have an image of the “perfect youâ€? the way you believe you should be and the way you want to be. This image is based on your values and beliefs of how things ought to be Ͳ in a perfect world. When the things you do are dierent than the way the “perfect youâ€? would have done them, you feel guilty. You’ve let yourself down. For example, the “perfect youâ€? has unending pa%ence, but aUer answering the same ques%on ten %mes in 5 minutes, you raise your voice in irrita%on. Guilt. The “perfect youâ€? makes sure your spouse is happy, but when you have lunch with a friend on Saturday, your husband eats alone. Guilt. The “perfect youâ€? believes your father should live with you when he is no longer able to live alone, but realis%cally, your job and family make that impossible. Guilt. Always keep in mind that when you take care of yourself ďŹ rst you are a healthier caregiver, both physically and emo%onally. Make sure your own needs are being met, and when that nagging feeling creeps into your thoughts, don’t let it overtake you. Let it guide you to be the best caregiver you can be today.

Recognize when you feel guilt. In order to handle guilt properly, you must first be able to name it. When you get that nagging guilt feeling, own it and manage it before it gets you down. Figure out where the guilt is coming from. What is the discrepancy between the real you and the “perfect you?� Are your expectations of yourself or your loved one too high? Do you have needs that are not being met? Do you need a break? Give yourself a break. There is no certain way a caregiver should feel. Some days are better than others. Allow yourself to feel any emotion – anger, sadness, joy – and remember that emotions don’t control your actions. Look for ways to change how you do things. If you believe you should be more patient, find ways to deal with repetitive questioning. If your husband doesn’t like to eat alone, find a friend or volunteer to eat with him while you have lunch with a friend. Let your guilt guide you into new solutions that works for both of you. Recreate your image of a “perfect you�. You may have created the image of who you should be when life was simpler. The idea of having dad move in with you was great at the time, but it may not be possible now. Committing to have him visit every Saturday may be a more realistic expectation. Promising to be your spouse’s only caregiver when he just needed a little help was okay, but with the amount of care he needs now, having someone come in to help is a must. Ask for help. Your guilt may be caused by not being able to do everything you think needs to be done; so, listen to your guilt and get some help. Ask friends or family for help, no one can do it all alone.

Are You Eligible for VA Medical Care? You may be able to get VA health care benefits if you served in the ac%ve military and received didn’t receive dishonorable discharge.
If you enlisted aUer September 7, 1980, or entered ac%ve duty aUer October 16,1981, you must have served 24 con%nuous months or the full period for which you were called to ac%ve duty, unless you :
x Discharged for a disability that was causedͶor made worse by your ac%veͲduty service, or x Discharged for a hardship
If you’re a current or former member of the Reserves or Na%onal Guard, you must have been called to ac%ve duty by federal order and completed the full period for which you were called or ordered to ac%ve duty. If you had or have ac%veͲduty status for training purposes only, you don’t qualify for VA health care. For informa%on on VA health care call the Eau Claire County Veteran Services office, 715Ͳ839Ͳ4744.
Cost of VA Medical Care Normally, if you have an injury or disability caused by your military service you are eligible to be treated for that condi%on by the VA for free. If your disability or injury is severe enough for the VA to rate you at least 50% disabled for compensa%on benefits, all your medical care is free from the VA. If you have a lower level of disability ra%ng, you may have to pay the VA a coͲpayment depending on what type of medical services you get and condi%on being treated for. For instance, if you are rated 10% disabled for high blood pressure you can get your blood pressure medica%on from the VA for free. Also, your doctor's appointments are free. However, you may have to pay a copay for any medicine that isn't for your high blood pressure. How VA Determines Your Healthcare Eligibility The number of veterans who can be enrolled in the health care program is determined by the amount of money Congress gives VA each year. Since funds are limited, VA set up Priority Groups to make sure that certain groups of veterans can be enrolled before others. Once you apply for enrollment, your eligibility will be verified. Based on your specific eligibility status, you will be assigned a Priority Group, that ranges from 1Ͳ8 with 1 being the highest priority. Some veterans may have to pay copay for treatment, and some may not be eligible for enrollment. You may be eligible for more than one Priority Group. In that case, VA will always place you in the highest Priority Group that you are eligible for. Travel to a VA Doctor Depending on your priority group, the VA may even reimburse you for traveling to a medical appointment. Reimbursement for mileage or public transporta%on may be paid to the following: Veterans with serviceͲconnected disabili%es rated at 30% or more; Veterans traveling for treatment of a serviceͲ connected condi%on; Veterans receiving a VA pension; Veterans traveling for scheduled compensa%on or pension examina%ons; Veterans whose income does not exceed the maximum VA pension rate.
