Client Testimonials I reached out to you during the most stressful time of life for both my loved ones and myself - horror had occurred to my dear loving mother.

My mom had fractured her hip and due to her frail health and advanced age required risky hip replacement surgery. Many issues legal and otherwise arose which I could not personally resolve. You not only resolved each and every one, but you continue to do so now, over 4 years later.

You always display extreme sincerity, compassion and friendship, using your vast experience and confidence in your ability, to continually bring satisfaction, positive results and a tremendous sense of relief and comfort to my loved ones and myself.

You have gone out of your way to visit Mom on multiple occasions in her Nursing house and we love you for it. As an attorney, friend, and a great man, I could not possibly hope to know anyone more phenomenal. The three greatest men I have ever known are my dear departed father, my dear departed father-in-law and Ely Rosenzveig.

Wartburg and the Alzheimer’s Association hosted Healthier Habits for a Healthier You Seminar

Wartburg and the Alzheimer’s Association of Hudson Valley/Rockland/Westchester, NY hosted an interactive seminar “Healthier Habits for a Healthier You” on May 14, 2015 highlighting the importance of optimizing our physical and cognitive health as we age. The event was held in the Gatz Conference Center located on Wartburg’s beautiful 34-acre historic campus in Mount Vernon, NY. Over 30 individuals were in attendance, including health care professionals, community members, religious leaders, caregivers, residents, and staff.

Patricia Gastonk LMSW, a care consultant with the Alzheimer’s Association of Hudson Valley/Rockland/ Westchester, and Michelle Kebrdle, MS, CCC-SLP, speech-language pathologist with Wartburg, co-lead the event. The seminar featured the presentation of recently published research findings in the areas of diet and nutrition, exercise, cognitive activity and social engagement complimented with hands-on tools to help you incorporate healthy lifestyle habits into each of these areas enabling you to create your own personalized plan for healthy aging.

“We have come a very long way in the area of research in Alzheimer's disease. Even ten years ago we could not have conceived of reducing the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Although there is more to do, we now believe that with appropriate investment in Alzheimer's research, we will achieve the breakthroughs necessary to develop preventions or effective treatments for the disease,” said Patricia Gaston, LMSW, presenter of the research findings.

During the evening program, attendees participated in various exercises, led by Michelle Kebrdle, Speech Therapist at Wartburg. “Consciously incorporating stimulation of all the senses – sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch - is fundamental when developing healthy habits for both your physical and cognitive well being,” said Mrs. Kebrdle. “It is important to take ordinary everyday tasks and make them challenging – for example brushing your teeth you’re your left hand if you are right handed – the benefits will be numerous in the long run as you are building your brains.”

“It’s always a pleasure to partner with the Alzheimer’s Association. In this case, we are focusing on what we do know about healthy aging, both physically and cognitively.

The research and practical tools are helpful reminders to all of us,” said David Gentner, Wartburg President & CEO.

Wartburg Wartburg is an award-winning provider of comprehensive senior services, including independent living, assisted living, Alzheimer’s/dementia care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation and hospice care. Its 34-acre campus in Mount Vernon serves seniors and their families in southern Westchester and the northern Bronx and now the NY Metro Area. Wartburg’s nursing home has been recognized by U. S. News & World Report as among the “Best Nursing Homes in New York State for four consecutive years, in 2014. Over the past few years, Wartburg has launched an ambitious building expansion program, including the Friedrichs Residence, with 61 independent living apartments, and a Rehabilitation and Adult Day Services Center, both opened in 2013.

Summertime serves as a great opportunity to kick back, count your blessings, and enjoy friends and family.

Maybe it’s the warm weather, long days and the extra hours of sunshine, but this season brings out the best in life.

Baby boomers kick-start their adventurous side and, in some cases, head out for parts unknown. Whatever the choice, work/life balance tends to tip toward the second word in that equation and living life to the fullest becomes a priority.

The options here in Westchester County are limitless, from day trips, to hikes, to picnics in the parks. Summer will be over sooner than you think, so enjoy the warm weather. As the summer kicks off, we will celebrate Father’s Day on June 21.

Up next is Independence Day. July 4th is a day for gratitude, celebration and relaxation.

Family, friends and neighbors gather together to barbecue and watch fireworks light up the sky – from Rye, to Scarsdale, to New Rochelle. It’s an exciting time with summer about to kick into full gear and we hope you enjoy every minute of it.

July 4th embodies that spirit marked by our nation’s annual birthday celebration. Independence Day is synonymous with fireworks— family, food, barbecues and fun.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at Boomers & Beyond!

Phelps Memorial Hospital Center leads the way, introduces Telehealth Technology helps patients manage chronic conditions at home

Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the emphasis on healthcare in the U.S. has shifted towards the importance of preventive care as a way of improving the health of the population and avoiding costly hospitalizations.

Now, Phelps Memorial Hospital Center has taken an important step to achieve this objective by launching a “telehealth” program that extends the continuum of care into the homes of patients who need support managing chronic conditions or are at risk for repeated hospitalizations. Phelps is the only hospital in Westchester to offer this service, in collaboration with the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Hudson Valley.

Participants in the six-month pilot program are patients of Phelps Medical Associates physicians. Telehealth services are being offered free of charge to participants, thanks to a generous donation from the William Olson Memorial Fund.

Studies show that up to 20 percent of hospital inpatients are readmitted within 30 days of discharge due to exacerbations of congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or diabetes. The purpose of the telehealth program is to prevent avoidable re-hospitalizations and support a patient’s ability to agein-place safely, responsibly and independently.

Using equipment installed in a patient’s home, biometric assessments (including blood pressure, pulse oximetry and weight) are captured and wirelessly transmitted to the telehealth department at the VNA, where these vital signs are reviewed and changes in the patient’s health status are noted. If an abnormal result is found, a telehealth nurse contacts the patient to determine the cause and follows up with the patient’s primary care

provider, if necessary. If the nurse discovers that the patient has not been taking medication as prescribed, for example, or is eating foods that are prohibited due to a medical condition, patient education on these topics can take place instantly.

Karen Giordano of Elmsford has high blood pressure and finds the telehealth system easy to use.

“I would highly recommend it to other people. By looking at my numbers (vital signs) every day, it keeps me aware of my health and I become an active participant in my own health.” Every week Ms. Giordano checks in via a “video chat” with telehealth nurse Anne Cusack, RN, BSN. "Anne also calls me immediately if one of my numbers is not what it is supposed to be,” says Ms. Giordano. “I don’t get out much, so I love chatting on the video chat.”

provided

Phelps patient, Karen Giordano enjoys the ability to video chat with teleheath nurse Anne Cusack, RN, BSN (l). Telehealth allows Karen to be an active participant in her own health.

Phelps Memorial Hospital Center in Sleepy Hollow, is the only hospital in Westchester to use telehealth services.

“Telehealth helps patients selfmanage their chronic or newly diagnosed conditions, and gives them extra clinical support so they can be more independent,” says Judith Sapione, RN, clinical quality manager for Phelps Medical Associates, the hospital’s primary and specialty care medical group, who is overseeing the program. “Patients really feel like they’re in control of their health. Especially for those who are very frail, or have multiple chronic conditions, it’s a real support and comfort knowing that they’re being monitored so closely.”

According to Sapione, with the early intervention made possible by telehealth, a patient knows when his condition warrants a visit to his physician, and he is less likely to wait until he becomes so ill that he needs to go to the emergency room.

Bon Secours Charity Health System, Bon Secours Health System and Westchester Medical Center sign joint venture Boomers & Beyond - Westchester

PAGE 10

July, 2015

Westchester Medical Center (WMC) and the Bon Secours Charity Health System (BSCHS) recently announced a groundbreaking commitment to high-quality care as close to home as possible for the people of the Hudson Valley.

“A Joint Venture with Westchester Medical Center represents an unparalleled opportunity to enhance the quality of services for the people in the region and will preserve and expand local health care,” said Mark Nantz, Executive Vice President of Bon Secours Health System. “The challenges of today’s healthcare environment require that healthcare systems explore innovative ways to deliver high-quality care through clinical transformation and population health management. We believe this joint venture will achieve the best for both our organizations.”

WMC Board Chair Mark Tulis said that these actions are part of a long-term, broad strategic planning effort to invest in the Hudson Valley. “The Hudson Valley is our home and our commitment continues to be making sure that our friends and neighbors have access to the best care right here, without having to leave the region. Our vision is to build on Bon Secours’ strong foundation, enhance what is available and foster integration and coordination, which will ensure the long-term viability of these partners and more,” Tulis added.

Mary Leahy, M.D., CEO of Bon Secours Charity Health System said a joint venture such as this one is “transformative and will allow our organizations to thrive in a climate of change. We share a common vision of clinical and operational excellence and a keen desire to maintain the long-held mission of Bon Secours and the Sisters of Charity.”

provided

Michael Israel, President and CEO of Westchester Medical Center shakes hands with Mary Leahy, MD, CEO of Bon Secours Charity Health System after signing the agreement.

“Westchester Medical Center’s historic mission has been to ensure that all the residents of the Hudson Valley have the finest healthcare available as close to home as possible,” said Michael D. Israel, President and CEO of Westchester Medical Center. “Our focus remains protecting the valued local healthcare services that the residents of this region have come to expect and deserve and, with our clinical and operational acumen, further strengthen local programs and offerings in the community, which started with our partnership with MidHudson Regional Hospital last year.”

According to Dr. Leahy, Bon Secours Charity will remain a Catholic healthcare provider with Bon Secours Health System and the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth as corporate members with Bon Secours Ministries and with the Sisters of Charity as canonical sponsors.

A Bon Secours Charity joint venture, with management from Westchester Medical Center and certain continued services from Bon Secours Health System, will improve and sustain high-quality, compassionate healthcare through population health management with special emphasis on care for the most vulnerable.

Israel and Leahy added that Bon Secours is already a major force in Westchester Medical Center’s current partnership with more than 250 local organizations and 5,000 individual providers as part of an integrated delivery system that will improve care coordination and focus on the specific health care problems faced by the low-income populations in the area.

“We are also pleased at this time to introduce WMCHealth, the Westchester Medical Center Health Network. WMCHealth unifies all of our well-known brands across our region with a new identity, sending a clear message about the strength and scale of our new organization, one uniquely centered on the residents of the Hudson Valley,” Israel said.

“Based on a decade of positive performance at the Medical Center, the return to fiscal stability at MidHudson Regional Hospital in Poughkeepsie in its first year aligned with WMC, and our significant profile in New York State’s DSRIP program, we believe our growing network is well positioned to thrive.”

Tulis said, “Westchester Medical Center was born and raised, so to speak, in the Hudson Valley, and now we are reshaping health care here. We take our responsibility to the healthcare and economic fabric of the region very seriously, and our commitment to ensure that we all have the finest care available here in the Hudson Valley has never been stronger.”

Millennials now outnumber baby boomers Boomers & Beyond - Westchester

Recent findings released by the Pew Research Center have found that millennials now outnumber the baby boomer generation, a fact that will need to be accounted for in the job market.

While the official consensus is still underway, the Pew Research Institute’s use of analysis displays the behaviors, demographic and implications of the growing millennial generation in comparison to the babyboomers.

In 2015, the millennial generation is expected to increase to 75.3 million; in comparison, the baby boomer population is 74.8 million. With immigration on the rise, the population is expected to reach 81.1 million by 2036. At the same time, the climbing mortality rates among the older immigrants in the baby boomer generation account for the subsequent demographic changes. Moreover, this coincides with the increasing number of retirements among baby boomers.

According to Dowell Myers, professor at the Price School of Public Policy and specialist in urban growth, millennials have caused a considerable burden to education. Most are 20 to 25 years of age and will advantageously influence the prospective labor pool.

“Well first, I think this is important because [the] baby boomer generation is so big,” Myers said. “They’re our biggest generation. So this study is saying that the next generation might be bigger than they are. There is an important part … Generation X is too small and they haven’t been able to hold up all of their duties in the world and the millennials come along now who are bigger and hopefully strong and able to do a better job.”

PAGE 11

July, 2015

Carl Martellino, the executive director of the University of Southern California Career Center, said that differences between the baby boomers and millennials lie in the ways they maintain interests and approach career paths.

“Cohorts of individuals influence each other,” Martellino said.

“Each cohort has a particular expe-

rience based on what’s happening with the economy, what’s happening in politics, what’s happening around the world that informs their point of reference. Rather than following a path, millennials are interested in creating the kind of career and flexibility they want.

It is more of an entrepreneurial approach.”

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Opens State-of-the-Art Cath Lab at Lawrence Hospital PAGE 12

Dr. Mark Apfelbaum often sees a look of relief on patients’ faces when he treats them at the new NewYork-Presbyterian Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville.

Having any type of heart procedure can be unnerving, but undergoing it close to home at a world-class facility gives patients piece of mind. NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital opened its high tech Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory approximately five weeks ago.

“The response we are getting from patients and their families has been extremely positive,” said Dr. Mark Apfelbaum, director of the NewYork-Presbyterian Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital and associate professor of medicine at Columbia University Medical Center.

“It can be a little intimidating undergoing these types of tests, especially when you have to drive to an unfamiliar hospital.

From day one, I have seen how comfortable patients are here, and that means a lot to the entire staff at NYP/Lawrence.”

For patients requiring catheterization, a type of life-saving intervention, access to a catheterization lab is critical to ensure quick restoration of blood flow to the heart by opening the arteries. Historically, patients in Westchester County traveled to hospitals further away to receive this treatment.

However, when someone is having a heart attack, quick treatment is vital to reducing damage to the heart and even saving a life.

That’s why in part NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital chose to open a Cath Lab in Bronxville. Its heart program is ranked #1 in New York State and #3 in the country, according to U.S. News and World Report.

Now local residents can experience that same level of care at NYP/Lawrence.

Its Cath Lab is staffed by interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists from ColumbiaDoctors, the faculty practice of Columbia University. It provides a variety of minimally invasive procedures such as coronary stenting, heart biopsy, and pacemaker implantation and is one of few centers in Westchester County licensed to perform emergency cardiac angioplasty for patients having a heart attack.

July, 2015

Mark Apfelbaum, MD Director, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at NYP/Lawrence.

“We see and treat our patients very quickly, which makes a big difference for them,” Apfelbaum said. “The sooner you can treat a patient and get into an artery, the better they will do, the better they will recover. Patients are greatly benefiting from the world-class care at NYP/Lawrence.”

NYP/Lawrence’s Cath Lab is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is conveniently located near the hospital’s emergency room, which can save precious minutes in transit for patients experiencing a heart attack. In addition to the emergency and diagnostic procedures offered, patients can also undergo routine testing via angiograms and cardiac imaging. In an angiogram, doctors take a series of X-rays of the heart to search for narrowing and blockages. Cardiac imaging allows doctors to screen for narrowing arteries via a specially designed catheter with ultrasound tips. Patients who may require more advanced cardiac care will have easy access to surgeons at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center.

“I have been an attending at Columbia for 25 years,” Apfelbaum said. “For me, the opening of the Cardiac Cath Lab is something new and very exciting. Now being here at NYP/Lawrence and getting such a great response from the community is very rewarding.”

ATTORNEYS AT LAW Many Years of Experience Protecting the Legal Interests of the Elderly & Special Needs Populations

Why should I spend money hiring attorneys to do asset protection planning for me and my loved ones?

Currently, the monthly cost for nursing home care in New York ranges between $10,000-$15,000, and properly certified home health attendants (nurse aides) can cost as much or more for round- the-clock home care. Statistically, it is likely that most people will need either or both of these care options as they grow older. It is critical that you plan appropriately to best minimize the strain that elder care costs may have on your estate, and to help put you in the best position possible to qualify for benefits that are largely covered by the government, under Medicare or Medicaid.

Our firm has attorneys with extensive experience in developing tax-effective action plans for our clients that help protect their assets from government imposition. We have also been very successful in negotiating the complex bureaucratic minefield in which Medicaid is now mired. We have achieved remarkable results for our clients on a host of Medicaid related issues, from obtaining Medicaid approvals for coverage of home care and institutional care benefits, to very accommodative resolutions of Medicaid spousal recovery claims, where the office of Medicaid aggressively pursues the non-institutionalized (i.e., or “community”) spouse for Medicaid benefits provided.

Why should I have a lawyer prepare my will?

If you die without a Will, the law, not you, determines how your assets are divided and to whom they are given. A poorly drafted Will may result in a sizeable chunk of your assets not ending up where you want them to go. We are an experienced law firm that can expertly craft your will to address your long-term care, tax, estate planning, and asset protection planning issues. It is in your best interest that planning be done properly so as to minimize the tax burden on your estate.

Our experience and skill in the fields of Trusts, Wills, and Estates enables our firm to uniquely tailor estate planning to your individual needs. We will review your entire estate and draft a personalized plan that will best direct the disposition of your assets after death, whether through your Will, or by means of testamentary substitutes (trusts, joint-asset ownership with right of survivorship, or by beneficiary designation in life insurance policies, annuities, or individual retirement accounts).

My father is having difficulty caring for himself. I am afraid he will no longer be able to live on his own. I am worried about finding the money to pay for his care, whether he stays at home or moves to an assisted living facility or nursing home. What do I do?

Your concerns are certainly daunting, and heart-rending. Our firm offers you a caring hand, an open ear, and uncompromising professional competence, and commitment. We will help find for you solutions that best suit your needs, using the latest tax, trust, and other asset protection strategies available under the law.

White Plains Hospital receives American Heart Association’s Boomers & Beyond - Westchester

Get With The Guidelines - Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award Award demonstrates White Plains Hospital’s exceptional quality care for stroke patients

White Plains Hospital has once again received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. The award recognizes the hospital’s success ensuring that stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence. 2015 marks the ninth consecutive year that White Plains Hospital has been recognized with this quality achievement award.

White Plains Hospital also received the association’s Target: Stroke Honor Roll for meeting stroke quality measures that reduce the time between the patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA, the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat ischemic stroke. If given intravenously in the first three hours after the start of stroke symptoms, tPA has been shown to significantly reduce the effects of stroke and lessen the chance of permanent disability. White Plains Hospital earned the award by meeting specific quality achievement measures for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients at a set level for a designated period.

“This award demonstrates our commitment to ensuring patients receive care based on nationally-respected clinical guidelines,” said Margaret Crilly, RN, Coordinator of White Plains Hospital’s Stroke Program. “White Plains Hospital is dedicated to improving the quality of stroke care and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Stroke helps us achieve that goal.”

The Ruth & Jerome A. Siegel Regional Stroke Center at White Plains Hospital has been designated as a Regional Stroke Center by the New York State Department of Health, a distinction that demonstrates the Hospital’s ability to diagnose and treat strokes using a highly specialized medical stroke team.

“We are pleased to recognize White Plains Hospital for their commitment to stroke care,” said Deepak L. Bhatt, M.D., M.P.H., national chairman of the Get With The Guidelines steering committee and Executive Director of Interventional Cardiovascular Programs at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. “Studies have shown that hospitals that consistently follow Get With The Guidelines quality improvement measures can reduce length of stay and 30day readmission rates and reduce disparities in care.”

I met a neighbor of mine the other day who told me about the problem she is having with her sisters. Her mother is quite elderly and still living alone in her large home. My neighbor feels that this living arrangement is unsafe for her mother and the large house is a financial drain on the mother and the daughters.

My neighbor is 78, her mother is 100, and her sisters are all in ) dis) their mid-late 70’s. These agreements among siblings are common and although these ages are certainly higher than the norm, those who are facing this situation at late stages in life are not as rare as one might think.

People are living longer and, frequently, widowed seniors are re- marrying at later ages, creating complicated situation for the aging blended family.

Many of us can remember our grandparents being cared for by nuclear and extended families.

Unfortunately circumstances have changed. Many adult children no longer live close to home and many are working outside the home, making it more difficult to care for parents at home. Regardless of the reasons and circumstances, siblings often do not agree on the choices for the care of their parents. Frequent issues are safety, including suitable living arrangements and the ability to drive, finances, kind of care needed, and who will assume responsibility for the care. One option for resolving these differences that is becoming more popular is mediation. When the siblings can no longer discuss the problems or reach decisions, the participation of a neutral, third party can get the conversation * %$ is ) a &(% )) *that* going. Mediation process allows all the participants to arrive at their own solutions, resulting in a necessary plan of action.

Guide to

Online Dating

Technologically savvy seniors are exploring the world of online dating. Over the past several years, many sites have popped up to help older adults dip back into the dating world, offering pages and features specific to the over-50 crowd. These senior sites have seen greater adoption in the past five or so years, establishing credibility among older adults and community members alike.

• AARP Dating: This site allows adults to craft their own personality profiles, then post creative date ideas they'd enjoy sharing with another person. Visiting seniors can sift through potential dates, contact prospects and set up official hangouts.

• eHarmony: Did you know that more than 14 percent of all eHarmony users are over the age of 55? This site may cost a little more money upfront, but there's a reason - the site itself is responsible for four percent of all marriages in the U.S.

Internet sites aren't the only places to find potential mates.

App dating has increased exponentially recently, with companies like Tinder and Hinge reporting huge success in the U.S. Seniors who want to use mobile apps should look into the following for best results.

• Hinge: Think of Hinge as your way to digitally meet single friends of your friends without having to deal with awkward face-to-face introductions. The site searches which of your Facebook friends' connections are searching, allowing you to access a wide range of potential matches.

• Stitch: Made specifically for seniors, Stitch is a mobile dating app that pairs single older adults and allows them the companionship they are searching for. The site couples local people based on mutual interests and shared desires, taking the stress out of senior dating.

BCW hosts Grand Opening of New Offices at 800 Westchester Avenue Ribbon cutting marks exciting new era for The Business Council

More than 250 members of the business community turned out last night for The Business Council of Westchester’s grand opening at its new address at one of Westchester’s premier office buildings.

In celebrating the move to 800 Westchester Avenue in Rye Brook with its members and local dignitaries, The Business Council also unveiled its new logo, branding and strategic initiatives aimed at helping members and growing the county’s economy.

“At The Business Council of Westchester, we are committed to helping our members build their businesses and connect with likeminded leaders – all with an eye for growing the regional economy,” said Marsha Gordon, president and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester.

“Our new look and new location, coupled with enhanced programming and impressive speakers does just that.

We’re incredibly pleased to be moving ahead on so many exciting fronts.”

The Business Council recently moved its headquarters from Corporate Park Drive in White Plains to 800 Westchester Avenue in Rye Brook where it is leasing approximately 4,400 square feet of office space with access to an elegant cafeteria with executive dining room, conference center, board room, terrace and indoor parking.

In addition to the new space, The BCW unveiled its new logo, messaging and branding as well as augmented programming that will include some of the region’s most innovative and provocative thought-leaders and decision makers.

The new look Business Council was developed in response to a detailed survey completed by its membership in early 2015. As a result, The BCW will continue to serve members in its traditionally successful ways through its signature events such as networking, Hall of Fame, Rising Stars and the Annual Dinner, yet expand with a laserlike focus in areas that members identified as integral to businesses, including business and corporate leadership; government and advocacy; and creating a sustainable and economically strong future in Westchester County.

To help support these efforts, The Business Council will be rolling out its new website, www.thebcw.org, in the coming months.

“We’re building on the success of our popular Conversations and Speakers Series, and expanding into the areas of technology, advertising, media and information,” Gordon added. “When coupled with our already impressive lineup of leaders and programming, this growth will ensure that we serve members in an ever-changing business environment.”

At the grand opening, County Executive Robert P. Astorino praised The BCW and encouraged leaders to get involved with Westchester’s largest business membership organization.

“Westchester County is working hard to attract new businesses to the county, and The Business Council of Westchester is a great partner,” said Astorino. “The Business Council is an invaluable resource, and the new office is a testament to the strength of the organization and the dynamism of Westchester.”

About The Business Council of Westchester The county’s largest and most influential business membership organization, The Business Council of Westchester is committed to helping businesses market, learn, advocate and grow. In addition, The Business Council of Westchester is actively involved in reviewing federal, state and county legislation and regulations in order to assess the potential impact on the business community and to influence the outcomes through advocacy when the business community’s interests may be affected. It also acts as an information resource for the business community and government leaders at all levels.

Five Travel Splurges for Senior Travelers Boomers & Beyond - Westchester July, 2015

PAGE 19

When it comes to creating a memorable summer vacation, splurging on a few creature comforts and travel extras can make all the difference.

Trust us, you should consider these 5 travel “splurges”.

Pillows If you sleep better with your own pillow and can fit it into your suitcase, consider bringing it along, especially if you are driving or taking the train to your destination. If you are flying, you may wish to leave your big pillow at home and bring along a neck pillow or travel pillow for those long hours on the airplane.

Slippers After a long day on your feet, there’s nothing nicer than taking off those walking shoes and sliding your feet into soft, comfortable slippers. So you can’t buy one last souvenir because you brought slippers, but who cares? Your feet will be warm and cozy.

Taxis Taxis are definitely more expensive than public transportation, but they are comfortable and efficient.

You won’t have to trudge up and down staircases or stand at crowded bus stops. There will be room in the trunk for your suitcase and wheelchair.

Local tour guides It might seem expensive to hire a local tour guide but you’ll be surprised at how much you’ll gain by taking a half-day or day-long tour with an expert. A good local tour guide knows the best times to visit every museum and can help you navigate the subway system. Some tour guides can even help you skip the long entrance lines.

Air conditioning Ask about air conditioning when you book your hotel or bed and breakfast stay. If air conditioning is not available at your destination, ask about fans or bring a tiny portable fan of your own.

Community Fund grant supports dance therapy program at Wartburg PAGE 20

July, 2015

Wartburg received a $13,500 grant from The Community Fund of Bronxville Eastchester Tuckahoe, Inc. to support Wartburg’s Dance and Movement Program. The grant pays for a professional dance therapist to oversee the Dance and Movement Program offered across Wartburg’s residential facilities.

The dance program is part of Wartburg’s award-winning, internationally recognized Creative Aging and Lifelong Learning Program and will provide therapy to seniors in the independent and assisted living facilities, the nursing home, registrants in the Adult Day Services program and patients in the rehabilitation center. The dance program, already a favorite among residents, will be funded for one year.

“We are extremely grateful for this generous grant,” said David Gentner, president and

CEO of Wartburg, an awardwinning provider of comprehensive senior services. “Dance therapy is exceptionally rewarding, both physically and emotionally, and it embodies our mission of nurturing body, mind and spirit.”

“We are happy to provide the funding to support the Dance and Movement Therapy Program at Wartburg and the many seniors from our community who call Wartburg their home,” said Melinda Burge, executive director of The Community Fund of Bronxville Eastchester Tuckahoe, Inc. “After visiting Wartburg’s beautiful campus and seeing the program in person, it was clear to my colleagues and I the benefits the program provides to its residents.”

“Our dance therapy program will be led by a professional dance therapist from Sarah

Lawrence College along with several Wartburg staff members and myself,” said Ann Frey, director of volunteers at Wartburg. “It’s a wonderful program that not only addresses the physical, cognitive, social and

emotional needs of our residents, but is also a lot of fun!”

The prestigious and growing Creative Aging & Lifelong Learning Program was started in 2009 and includes classes in painting, quilt-making, singing,

How to handle the summer heat PAGE 21

The heat is on with summer officially kicking into high gear. Many people dread the dog days of summer because they worry about becoming overheated.

Heat stroke and related health issues are a real concern, but don’t have to keep you from enjoying some fun in the sun. Make sure you stay cool with these Boomers & Beyond tips: Keep your home cool. Have fans in the room and open windows for cross-ventilation.

If you can’t afford to have air conditioning in your entire home, make sure to have an air conditioner in one room. It is essential to have a place to go if you get overheated. You can spend time in this air conditioned room on the hottest days so you don’t face the risk of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Go swimming. A local pool or beach is an excellent place to get exercise and keep cool. Go into the water for some relief.

Swim, float or just wade around.

If you are at home, go into a cool shower for a few minutes to bring your body temperature down. Have a water bottle in the refrigerator to spray on yourself when it gets hot.

Drink water throughout the day. Have a glass of water every 20 minutes to a half hour.

Avoid alcoholic beverages in the heat as well as sugary sodas. Water is the best way to stay hydrated and keep cool.

Keep beverages with electrolytes in your refrigerator in case you get very sweaty and feel fatigued. The National Institutes of Health also recommend staying away from beverages with caffeine.

Wear loose fitting clothing made from natural fabrics such as cotton. Synthetic fabrics hold in the heat and make you perspire more. Tight clothing can also make you feel hot. A loose fitting cotton outfit is breathable and comfortable.

Avoid being outdoors in the afternoon. The hours between noon and three in the afternoon tend to be the hottest. Go out early in the morning or later in the evening when it is cooler outside. Never exercise during the heat of the day. Take walks or do your exercises during the cooler times of day. Stay inside with the fans or air conditioner in the middle of the day so you don’t get overheated.

Do you ever have difficulty hearing or understanding speech in restaurants?

At parties or family gatherings? Do you feel that people are mumbling all the time? Is the volume on your television creeping up? Is telephone conversation sometimes difficult to understand? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is a strong possibility that you may have some degree of hearing loss. It has been shown that if a hearing loss is present, a person has to struggle to hear speech.

Undue stress is put on that individual. This stress can have a negative effect on a persons quality of life. It can cause that person to avoid many social situations.

This, in turn, can cause that person to become more isolated. Over the past 15 years Westchester Audiology and Hearing Aid Specialist, P.C. has been helping people hear and communicate better by providing superior healthcare to their patients.
