Steering into the Skid is a one-act play that showcases the ups and downs of a caregiving relationship. In 12 short scenes, all taking place in the couple’s SUV over one year, the audience comes to know Tim and Amanda, and bear witness to the early progression of dementia. As the months pass, the audience sees the subtle changes and adjustments this loving couple is forced to deal with due to memory loss. Tuesday, May 1, 2018 | 5:30–7:30 p.m. Bethesda Lutheran Church, 123 W. Hamilton Avenue, Eau Claire Join us for a light dinner, the play and discussion to follow. This event is free of charge.

Strong Bones draw many participants About 150 people took part in one of five Strong Bones workshops offered through the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Eau Claire County during January - March 2018. What feedback did participants give us about the program? • Instructor does a wonderful job keeping her students safe while exercising. She stresses good form over more repetitions which is extremely important for senior population. • Our instructor is exceptional. She is forever upbeat, positive, and extremely knowledgeable. • I look forward to it because we laugh, have fun – but also work hard. • I am glad that men are allowed in this class. I enjoy attending the class with him. It is good for both of us. • As a man I have experienced this program to be an excellent addition to my overall exercise program. Previously, I have not worked with weights – thus, this program is a very beneficial addition. • It is a great program! • Thank you for offering this. It was exactly the jumpstart I needed. I already see and fell the difference. • Totally love it! • Liked the pace of the class • Have kept up my strength. Balance has improved. • I strongly recommend this program to everyone.! !

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 for a way to connect with a loved one, music can be a curative answer for both the caregiver and the one being cared for. Caregiving brings about a wide range of emotions including joy, sadness, frustration and guilt. Music can reach a person whose ability to Communicate is affected by dementia, stroke or other disease. 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, such as bathing or grooming, more bearable. Try adding music to your day. Musical Memories: Changing the Lives of People with Dementia Through Personalized Music The Aging & Disability Resource Center developed a program similar to the Wisconsin Music and Memory Program. It is called Musical Memories, and it is designed to help people with dementias find renewed meaning and connection in their lives through the gift of personalized music at no cost. The Musical Memories Program may: • Provide enjoyment through personalized music to persons with dementia • Increase fulfilling engagement between people with dementia, staff, family and community • Increase cooperation and attention, reduce resistance to care • Reduce reliance on anti-psychotic and anti-anxiety medications • Reduce agitation and sun downing • Enhance engagement and socialization, fostering a calmer social environment • Offer an enjoyable, fulfilling activity for people on dialysis, using a ventilator, or bed confined.

How Long will Medicare Pay for a Stay in a Skilled Nursing Facility? If a beneficiary meets all the requirements, the amount Medicare covers depends on how long they need to stay in the SNF because coverage decreases over time. Keep in mind that seniors with Medigap policies or Medicare Advantage Plans may have additional coverage for SNF stays. Here is how Medicare covers SNF stays: • Days 1 through 20 Medicare pays the full cost for each benefit period. • Days 21 through 100 Medicare pays all but daily coinsurance. In 2018, coinsurance is $167.50/day. • After 100 days Medicare provides no coverage after 100 days. Beneficiaries must pay for any additional days out of pocket, apply for Medicaid coverage. Sometimes beneficiaries take “breaks” from this care that can change their eligibility for coverage. For example, if a beneficiary leaves the SNF for less than 30 days and then needs to return for the same medical condition (or a related one), they will not need another qualifying three-day hospital stay to be eligible for additional SNF coverage left in their benefit period. If the break lasts for 60 consecutive days, then this triggers the end of a benefit period and the beneficiary’s SNF benefits are renewed only after they meet the above requirements again.

Almond-Sesame Energy Bars Line a 7 x 11 inch or 9 x 9 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving 1-inch overhang. Spray with cooking spray. 1/4 cup whole flaxseeds; 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats; 1/4 cup sesame seeds; 1 cup whole-grain puffed rice or wheat cereal; 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins; 3/4 cup almonds, coarsely chopped; 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder; 3/4 cup almond butter; 2/3 cup honey; 1 tsp vanilla extract Toast flaxseeds in dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Transfer to small bowl and let cool. Add oats to skillet and toast over medium-low heat, stirring light golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add sesame seeds to skillet and toast over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until light golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to the bowl with oats. Grind flaxseeds into a coarse meal in a spice grinder. Add to oat mixture in bowl. Add puffed rice or wheat, dried cranberries (or raisins), almonds, and milk powder, stir. Combine almond butter and honey in saucepan over low heat, stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla and add to oat mixture; mix until dry ingredients are moistened and start to clump together. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Use a piece of plastic wrap to press mixture firmly into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. Use foil overhang to lift bars and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 24 bars, (bars will keep, covered or individually wrapped, in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks). Do not use a nonstick skillet for stovetop toasting because nonstick pans should not be heated dry. Can substitute ground flaxmeal for whole flaxseeds; skip toasting and grinding. Peanut Energy Bars: Substitute ½ cup peanuts for sesame seeds and reduce almonds to ½ cup. (natural peanut butter for almond butter).
