2018 Walk to End Alzheimer’s Disease Chippewa Valley

Saturday, September 29, 2018 8:00 am

Registration

9:00 am

Walk will start following a short ceremony

Zorn Arena at UWEC, 105 Garfield Avenue, Eau Claire.

Route length: 2 miles, parking available.

Food trucks and music on site! http://act.alz.org/site/TR/Walk2018/WI-GreaterWisconsin?pg=entry&fr_id=11615

Time to Review Your Medicare Plan Medicare’s Annual Open Enrollment Period is coming soon. Be sure to add this to your fall checklist if you have a Medicare Part D plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan.

Every year insurance companies can change their list of covered drugs and their pricing structure, known as the plan formulary. This means that even if you are taking the same medications, the amount you pay for your medications may change next year. The plans’ premiums, deductibles, and copays can also change each year.

All Medicare beneficiaries should review their current coverage during Medicare’s annual Open Enrollment Period, which runs October 15 through December 7.

Find out what your plan’s costs and coverage will be next year and compare it with other options based on your prescription medications and other needs or preferences. You may decide you’re happy with your plan’s costs and coverage details for 2019. In that case, you won’t need to do anything. Or, you may find a plan that is better suited to your needs and your budget.

Watch the ADRC October newsletter for appointment details

Shopping around to find what’s best for you is always a good idea, but you don’t have to do it alone. Free, unbiased assistance with plan comparisons is available from the Aging & Disability Resource Center Benefit Specialists, who will accept open enrollment appointments beginning October 2018.

NEW MEDICARE CARDS SCAM ALERT New Medicare cards will no longer have the Social Security Numbers. Beware of calls from individuals claiming to represent Medicare or Social Security Administration, saying the beneficiary needs a new Medicare card.

• • • • •

Medicare beneficiaries will receive a new Medicare card automatically Medicare cards do not expire Medicare will not call beneficiaries to offer a new card or request information in order to issue a new card Beneficiaries who lose their Medicare card can request a new one with a new Medicare ID number from the Social Security Administration To report fraud or for more information, call 877-272-8720.

ADRC Adaptive Equipment Loan Program

New items added to our ADRC adaptive equipment loan closet!

A crutch is a mobility aid that transfers weight from the legs to the upper body. It is often used by people who cannot use their legs to support their weight for reasons ranging from short-term injuries to lifelong disabilities. A crutch normally has a soft bar across the top which is placed underneath the armpit. There will typically then be two metal rods underneath this bar, which extend downward. Near the bottom, this bar turns into a single pole that has a rubber end. A handle grip is in the middle of the bar, so the user can hold onto it.

Platform walker attachment is a unique mobility aid that includes a supportive arm rest that allows you to bear weight on the arm rather than the hand. This helps the user to experience a much higher level of control as they move around during their daily activities, and it also avoids putting pressure on fragile joints in the wrist and fingers. This aid is height-adjustable and can be disassembled for storage and transport as needed.

For availability on these items or more information, contact the ADRC (715) 839-4735.

Whether you want to try out an item first, or need something for a short time, the loan program can be a useful service that is quick and easy to use. Adaptive equipment items can be borrowed up to three months for a small contribution fee. See staff in case of financial hardship.

Par2cipa2ng in the meal program, whether Meals on Wheels or congregate sites, there are many benefits for individuals AND the community. Menus are in the ADRC newsle:er, or call Rebecca Hinzmann, ADRC Nutri2on Program Supervisor (715) 839Ͳ6259 for more informa2on on meals in your community.

Thank you !!

Brent Douglas for making us smile!

Why is there potato peelings le in the mashed potatoes?

The potato skin not only add fiber but also nutrients. It also helps the flesh of the potato retain its nutrients during cooking.

Introducing Kayla Olmstead, Registered Die an Kayla will be working with the Fall Creek Kitchen reviewing menus and educa2ng staff to ensure the menus meet the nutri2onal requirements for the Senior Dining program. Kayla received her Master’s Degree in Food and Nutri2on from UWͲStout and has been working with older adults in several Senior Dining programs and LongͲTerm Care facili2es for many years.

Kayla resides in Holcombe with her husband and two children.

She loves to cook and try new healthy recipes.

Watch for healthful ar2cles and informa2on from Kayla in upcoming ADRC newsle:ers.

Welcome Kayla!

Senior Dining Nutrition Staff

In addi2on to delivering a hot meal at the noon 2me, the Meals on Wheels volunteers are also making a daily check to be sure the recipients are ok.

More Than Just a Meal

When a volunteer delivers the meal and someone does not answer the door or the phone, or even if things are out of the ordinary, the volunteer contacts the ADRC Nutri2on Program to report that informa2on.

The emergency contact is then called and asked to check on the person. In one instance, a Meals on Wheels recipient was reported to “just did not look right” and the home was messier than usual.

The person was ill and needed to be admi:ed into the hospital.

Another 2me a recipient did not answer the door or the phone call. The emergency contact was called to check on them and the par2cipant had fallen and needed help. It is so important to have current emergency contact informa2on for everyone on Meals on Wheels.

If there is a phone number change, please call the Aging & Disability Resource Center Nutri2on Program, 715Ͳ839Ͳ4886 to update the emergency contact.

Nutrition Nibbles

Each month a “Nutrition Myth” of the month and also an article related to a nutritional topic and recipes.

Bought to you by Rebecca Hinzmann ADRC Nutrition Supervisor and Kayla Olmstead ADRC Contract Dietitian. If you have ideas for articles, please forward them to Becky at Eau Claire ADRC. We would love to hear from you.

Myth: Red meat is bad for your health.

Fact: Red meat is not bad for your health, but choose leaner cuts of beef & pork. For beef, choose eye of round, top round roast and flank. For pork choose tenderloin & loin chops. Poultry can contain more saturated fat than lean meats depending on preparation, so be sure to remove the skin and grill or bake.

Benefits of Squash?

▪ Zucchini is inexpensive & can be used in many ways!

▪ Delicata is delicious roasted or stuffed.

▪ Acorn squash is available year-round, 9 gm fiber/cup!

▪ Yellow crookneck can be steamed, broiled or sautéed. It is often used in soups and stews.

The spiralizer ranges from $10 on up, that turns fresh veggies into faux-noodles. Carrots and some of the harder veggies also work. Zucchini noodles are fabulous in Asian cuisine. Monthly challenge: Buy a spiralizer!

Roasted Squash Breakfast

1 ½ cups delicata or butternut squash, cut in 1/3-inch slices, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon salt, eggs (1 for each squash circle), shredded cheese (optional), salsa or Sriracha sauce.

Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat both sides of squash with olive oil. Season and place in a baking pan. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove and cool for 1 to 2 minutes.

In the same pan, crack an egg into each of the hollow squash centers.

Put back into oven and bake 15 minutes. Remove and top with cheese, bake 5 more minutes or until melted.

Serve hot with salsa or Sriracha Sauce on spinach bed, toast or a plate.

Caregiver Crisis: Who Will Care for You?

The State of Wisconsin is currently experiencing a longͲterm care workforce crisis. The caregiver crisis is occurring for mul2ple reasons including, but not limited to, fewer caregivers are entering the workforce, there is an increasing number of people seeking longͲterm care services which is crea2ng more demand as well as gaps in star2ng wage for entry level personal caregivers and nonhealthcare workers.

A survey of over 750 longͲterm care employers revealed that there are more than 16,000 caregiver posi2on vacancies in Wisconsin. 54% of the vacant posi2ons had no applicants and 83% had no qualified applicants. This workforce crisis is causing providers of longͲterm care services to have to limit admissions; despite the need for services increasing nearly 25%. Providers must rely on over2me, double shiNs and other strategies to fill open hoursͲ expensive op2ons that are leading to caregiver burnout. Ul2mately, some providers have even had to closer their facili2es.

These closures are something we have experienced here in Eau Claire County. In less than two years, we have had 2 nursing homes close and 1 assisted living facility.

Addi2onally, in Wisconsin nearly 600,000 people are providing care to a loved one at home. The popula2on con2nues to age and as such the number of people who will need assistance to stay in their home and community either due to demen2a and/or physical limita2ons will con2nue to increase. Not only is there a caregiver workforce crisis, there is also added strain on family caregivers who are an integral part in maintaining people in their homes and community. Family caregivers reduce health care and longͲterm care system costs which benefit the community but they must be supported with respite when needed. There is not a single solu2on to a problem of this magnitude. Please join us for a community presenta on and conversa on about this issue.

▪ Lynn Breedlove, former Execu2ve Director of Disability Rights WI.

Lynn and Janet are trusted professionals in the longͲterm care arena and come to us with policy and prac2cal day to day insight into the reality/perspec2ves as it relates to people who use/need longͲterm care services across the age span, their families and providers (as well as the general public) on this topic.

Safeguard Your Home ਒ Do you have any prescription painkillers and know the quantity? ਒ Would you be able to tell if any of your pills were missing?

Make sure you know the quantities and regularly monitor, you may be innocently contributing to abuse.

Nearly 1 out of 4 Eau Claire County teens say it is easy to get prescription medication from their home/ grandparent’s home without permission, or even a friend.

Myth: Older adults are the most likely to become addicted to prescription painkillers.

Dose of Reality: Young people ages 12-25 are highest risk of becoming addicted to painkillers.

Remember to safely dispose of expired, unused or unwanted medications.

Employee Spotlight Jen Solfest, Resource Specialist

I first graduated from CVTC with a paralegal degree and through working in that field for six years I saw how injuries change the lives of clients and their families. I decided I wanted to make an impact on an individual basis. I went back to school and attended the University of Wisconsin – Stout. While in school I completed an internship with the Aging & Disability Resource Center in Eau Claire. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Vocational Rehabilitation with a concentration in Social Work.

I worked at the ADRCs in La Crosse and Black River Falls as my husband relocated for his job, before making Eau Claire our home. I was grateful to come back to Eau Claire and accept a position at the ADRC in Eau Claire. While some of the people have changed over the past six years, their collective passion for providing information and services to people with disabilities and older adults in Eau Claire County has not. As a Resource Specialist, I enjoy my role in helping people navigate a complex system, so they can access the services they need to maintain their health and independence.

Jen Solfest

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our dog Oliver, and our cat Crystal. We are looking forward to welcoming our first child to our family in October!

Living Well with Alzheimer’s

By Judy Fuhrer

Staying Active

Hello everyone.

It’s great to be with you this month! Our puppy, Lacy is loving this warm weather and so am I. I love flower gardening and Lacy loves to stretch out on the grass and watch me. Sometimes she helps me dig holes for the plants.

It is important that those of us with Alzheimer’s or other dementias stay active. I feel fortunate that I have an activity that I love and can still enjoy while living with Alzheimer’s.

Gardening is such a healthy activity.

Bending to plant and pulling to weed are just two of the healthy exercise benefits. Caring for something living and watching it develop into something beautiful gives me a sense of accomplishment.

It is always a joy to go shopping for new plants. I am always finding new interesting varieties of plants. This challenges me to keep learning. A recent interest for me has been the discovery of wildflowers which have such a variety in color, shape, and form.

When a wildflower plant is growing, you get surprises. This year I was very excited by the wild purple lupines that showed up in my garden. Another benefit of flower gardening is that it is an artistic outlet. I may not able to paint a picture on canvass, but I am able to “paint” my yard with beautiful flowers.

The most important benefit of gardening for me is that even with Alzheimer’s I am able to create a beautiful landscape that others, as well as myself can enjoy.

Demen a Friendly Eau Claire County at UWͲEC Chalkfast 2018

Saturday, July 28 was a beau2ful day for the annual Chalkfest at UWͲEau Claire. A big thank you to Sarah Krupa for her amazing talent in crea2ng a silhoue:e figure with a bouquet of ForgetͲMeͲ Not flowers and the Demen2a Friendly Community Eau Claire County logo.

What is Sarah’s interest in demen2a? Sarah’s grandmother passed away in 2012 from vascular demen2a. They shared the same birthday and had a special rela2onship. Sarah’s prototype drawing included a silhoue:e figure with a bouquet of ForgetͲMeͲNot flowers and the logo. A beau2ful tribute to those who are going through the journey of demen2a. It is important to not forget the person is always there with you throughout the disease. They’ll treasure that you treat them with dignity and respect and s2ll include them as they are able and willing. Sarah received many wonderful comments and for almost 12 hours that day, Demen2a Friendly was seen by visitors and ar2sts. Walking through the journey of demen2a can be lonely, but it is easier in a community that is demen2a friendly! th

Driving & Dementia

For most adults, driving represents freedom, independence and control. During the early stages of demen2a, concerns about driving are likely to surface and giving up driving can be a very deep and personal issue.

When you drive, different regions of your brain cooperate to receive sensory data, priori2ze informa2on, recall related past experiences, an2cipate likely scenarios, analyze op2ons, plan ahead, use proper judgment, synchronize movement responses, and juggle more than one task at a 2me. Depending on the specific difficul2es of the individual, and every individual with demen2a may ini2ally present with a different pa:ern of difficul2es based on the specific areas of brain damage ʹ one or more of these func2ons may be impaired.

It is crucial to have the conversa2on about driving in the early stages of demen2a. Asking a person to give up driving, is asking a great deal, but driving is not a right; it is a privilege. HarYord Insurance has a publica2on called, At the Crossroads: Family Conversa2ons

WHERE

can you recycle these things?

Electronics, appliances, ba:eries, and CFL light bulbs all need to be recycled and NOT sent to the landfill. But the most common ques2on that the recycling program gets is, “WHERE can you recycle these things?”

The largest electronics recycler is First Choice Computer and Electronics Recycling, 525 Park Ridge Court, Eau Claire. This company accepts DVD players, TV’s, broken cell phones, computers, and much more. They will take all computer paraphernalia, like CD’s, jump drives, hard drives, ink and toner cartridges, video game cartridges, mice, and keyboards. And don’t worry about your informa2on ge]ng stolen from the computer or jump drive you recycle there, they have a guarantee that all informa2on is properly dealt with.

CFL light bulbs contain mercury vapors which are released when the bulbs get broken. Landfills are already gross places, we need to do our part to ensure that they are not dangerous places as well. Standard alkaline ba:eries can be put in the trash, but lithium, rechargeable, and bu:on ba:eries should also be recycled.

Do your part and keep electronics out of the landfill.

It not only is the ecoͲfriendly choice, it’s the safer choice.

20 During the years I worked as a Caregiver Coordinator I talked with caregivers about home safety, caregiver burnout, self-care for the caregiver and also ways to prepare for the future. Throughout that time, I also watched my father’s health decline, and in turn watched my mother become a full-time caregiver.

As I visited with my mother about various things related to caregiving I slowly realized that I too had become a caregiver. Once I accepted this role I decided it was time to start paying attention to the many things I had encouraged other caregivers to do, mainly getting legal paperwork in order. I had never actually talked to my parents about their healthcare wishes, whether they have a will or powers of attorney, where they stand financially in case someone needs nursing home care or what type of insurance they have.

I decided to start addressing these issues with my mom whenever we would visit my parents in South Dakota.

During that year I learned a lot about my parents. I learned that they have POA papers in place. I learned the names and locations of all their insurance policies. I understood their feelings regarding healthcare and end-of-life issues and I helped them start inquiring about financial assistance in case there is a need for long term care. Discussing these topics was not fun and there were many times I wondered if I was making a big deal out of nothing. I thought it might be easier to just wait and see if we would really need that information and if so, figure things out at that time.

And then I got that dreaded call - my dad was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and chronic heart failure. I made an emergency trip to South Dakota to help my worried mother.

As I drove across southern Minnesota I thought about the things we would need – POA papers, insurance policies and answers to questions about resuscitation. I was so relieved that I had taken the time and effort to go over these things earlier with my parents.

Dealing with the decisions and emotions of Dad’s current situation was stressful enough by itself. I could not imagine the added stress of having to fumble through files searching for legal documents or not knowing anything about how to finance a nursing home placement

Preparation P y O

Estate Planning Health Care choices

POA

As it turned out, all those unpleasant conversations and planning for the future really did pay off! Regardless of how uncomfortable it was to talk to my mom about advance directives, end-of-life decisions and personal finances, I was glad I was bold enough to do so before the crisis literally hit home.

My dad survived the pneumonia but was too weak to return home to mom. We placed him in a nursing home for rehabilitation with hopes of moving back home. Watching my mom say goodbye that first night was hard, but my dad adjusted beautifully to life in the local nursing home and my mother fought her struggles with loneliness and guilt with dignity and continued to move forward.

Ahh, the life of a caregiver.

Jane Mahoney Older Americans Act Consultant Greater Wisconsin Agency on Aging Resources

When I was only a “daughter”, a trip to visit my parents was like a mini-vacation. Mom would have a pan of caramel rolls waiting along with other favorite foods. I would kick back on the couch and let the grandparents play with my kids and just enjoy the visit. When I added “caregiver” to my role, the visits began to have more of a purpose than just a relaxing time. I began to talk with my mother about the not-so-fun topics of estate planning, advance directives and long-term care. I returned from these visits tired, frustrated and a bit sad.

Caregiving truly is a stressful thing.
