SENIOR FAIR HEALTH SYMPOSIUM TOPEKA & SHAWNEE COUNTY

and

Shining New Light on Senior Living

Senior Support Resources Directory Overview The 2013 Senior Support Resources Directory was created from the Topeka & Shawnee County Senior Health Fair & Symposium in October 2012. This Directory will help Seniors and their Support Teams find where to go for help, and insure they know how programs work to make the best decisions. The Symposium provided experts from the community in the following areas: • • • •

Financial & Legal Planning Living Options Recovery Options Programs (Medicare, Medicaid/KanCare & others)

These experts helped provide insights into how programs work and where they can go for help. The Senior Health Fair that followed allowed Seniors and their Support Teams to speak directly to the Providers. If a Provider was not the best fit for their needs, they referred them to an organization that was. The next logical step was to create this Directory, both in online and print versions, that would be a permanent guide and reference for Seniors and their Support Teams. The PDF and the link to the online version has been given to each Provider so they can place it on their website. We want to thank the community for your support of our efforts to bring the resources and support directly to you. Please contact and engage those Sponsors and Providers listed who made the investment to bring you the Topeka & Shawnee County Senior Health Fair & Symposium, and this Senior Support Resources Directory.

Sodium Initiative NUTRITION: Common Ground Community Gardens • Organization run by volunteers who teach children and adults how to create and grow community gardens. POLICY & RESOLUTIONS: Clean Air Topeka (Policy) Clean Air Kansas is a grassroots, non partisan campaign that worked with Kansas residents and other health organizations to secure the passage of a statewide smoke free law for Kansas. The Kansas legislature passed the bill in February 2010 and law was effective July 1, 2010. Clean Air Kansas represented the grassroots voice of citizens calling for uniform, statewide smoke free law tha covers indoor public areas and workplaces including restaurants, bars, and private clubs. The Clean Air Kansas vision was to: 1. Recognize that everyone has the right to breathe some free, clean, indoor air in public places and at work. No one has the right to endanger employees and the public by exposing them to second hand smoke. 2. To affirm the right to breathe over the right to smoke 3. To protect vulnerable populations, including children, employees, the elderly, and those with chronic health conditions. Complete Streets (Resolution) The streets of our cities and towns are an important part of the livability of our communities. They ought to be for everyone, whether young or old, motorist or bicyclist, walker or wheelchair user, bus rider or shopkeeper,. But too many of our streets are designed only for speeding cars, or worse, creeping traffic jams. Instituting a complete streets policy ensures that transportation planners and engineers consistently design and operate the entire roadway with all users in mind–including bicyclists, public transportation vehicles and riders, and pedestrians of all ages & abilities.

Kansas Physical Therapy Association

Kansas Rehabilitation Hospital

Susie Harms, PT, MHS, President

Jami Colson, Director of Marketing Operations/Admissions

Mission Statement: The Kansas Physical Therapy Association is the member organization of physical therapists and physical therapist assistants that represents, promotes, and advocates for the profession of physical therapy, promotes evidence-based practice, and assists members in addressing the health and wellness needs of individuals in Kansas.

Mission Statement: Our mission is to maximize the functional skills of each individual to participate in life at their optimal capacity, through treatment programs designed around the needs and goals of our patients and healthcare partners.

1111 N. Farifax Street Alexandria, VA 22314 Tel: 703-706-3235 www.kpta.com

Services/Support: Physical therapists provide care for people in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private practices, outpatient clinics, home health agencies, schools, sports and fitness facilities, work settings, and nursing homes. Physical therapists diagnose and treat people of all ages, including newborns, children, and elderly individuals. They may consult and practice with other health professionals to help you improve your mobility. Improve Balance and Prevent Falls: Falls among the elderly are prevalent, dangerous, and can diminish their ability to lead an active and independent life. According to the National Aging Council, about one in three seniors above age 65, and nearly one in two seniors over age 80, will fall at least once this year, many times with disastrous consequences. A physical therapist can help you prevent falls by designing an individualized program of exercises and activities with an emphasis on strength, flexibility, and proper gait. Balance may be improved with exercises that strengthen the ankle, knee, and hip muscles and with exercises that improve the function of the vestibular (balance) system. Once a physical therapist has reviewed a complete medical history and conducted a thorough examination, he or she will develop a personalized plan of care. This may include a walking regimen with balance components such as changes in surfaces/terrains, distance, and elevations; Tai Chi (which emphasizes balance, weight shifting, coordination, and postural training); and aquatics classes geared toward balance and coordination. The physical therapist also may teach specific strengthening and balance exercises that can be performed at home. If necessary, the physical therapist will refer you to other medical professionals, such as an ophthalmologist or neurologist. Recover From Stroke: Stroke is the number three cause of death in the U.S., and the leading cause of serious long-term disability. If stroke strikes you or a loved one, a physical therapist can provide the rehabilitation you need. Targeted Customers: All ages. Eligibility: Physical therapists may perform the initial evaluation. A prescription from a qualified medical provider is required to initiate treatment. How to Apply: Visit with your health care provider or to find a PT on-line visit: http://www.apta.org/findapt
