Some of the most important lessons I have learned about health have come from older adults and caregivers. Their stories have shown me that people may know what they need to stay healthy but still struggle to get it. Something as simple as a ride to a doctor’s appointment, help paying for food or medicine, or support caring for a loved one can make a big difference. When these resources are hard to get, it becomes much harder for people to stay healthy and live independently. I am reminded of this through Ollie Tansimore’s story. Ollie is a Philadelphia grandfather who has spent the past 10 years caring for his granddaughter. Like many family caregivers, he was juggling many responsibilities while trying to find resources to support his family. Through PCA’s Caregiver Support Program, he connected with a care manager who helped him find services and support. This assistance reduced some of the daily demands of caregiving and gave his family extra help. Ollie’s experience highlights an important reality: The challenge is not always knowing what is healthy. Sometimes, the

challenge is having access to resources that make healthy choices possible. Health experts refer to these factors as the social determinants of health: The conditions where people live, learn, work, play, and age that affect health and quality of life. These factors can affect whether a person can access the care and resources they need. This is where community-based services can make a real difference. At PCA, we connect older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers with programs that support their health and well-being. Whether someone needs meals, transportation, caregiver support, in-home services, social activities, or information through our Helpline, these resources can help them overcome challenges that affect their health. These supports can help keep small problems from becoming bigger ones. When people can get to appointments, get their medications, access healthy food, and find help when they need it, they are more likely to stay healthy and stay connected to their communities. If you or someone you know needs help finding services and support, contact the PCA Helpline at 215-765-9040 or go to www.pcaCares.org.

Medicare is health insurance for people 65 or older. Medicare also covers younger people with certain disabilities, including endstage renal disease and ALS (also called Lou Gehrig’s disease).

Part D (prescription drugs) helps cover the cost of prescription drugs. Plans that offer Medicare Part D are run by private

insurance companies that follow rules set by Medicare. When you first sign up for Medicare and during Open Enrollment, you can choose how you get your Medicare coverage. There are two main ways to get Medicare. Original Medicare includes Parts A and B. You can join a separate Medicare drug plan to get Medicare drug coverage. You can use any doctor or hospital that takes Medicare, anywhere in the U.S. You can also use supplemental coverage that helps pay your out-of-pocket costs, including the 20% coinsurance. This includes buying Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) or using coverage from a current or former employer or union, or Medicaid (if you have it). Medicare Advantage (Part C) is a Medicare-approved plan from a private company that offers an alternative to Original Medicare for your health and drug coverage. These plans bundle together your Part A, Part B and usually Part D. You may need to use doctors in its network and get approval for certain drugs or services. Usually there are different out-of-pocket costs than Original Medicare. There is also a limit on out-of-pocket costs, so you don’t need to buy supplemental coverage. Most plans offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover — including vision, hearing and dental.

5 Philadelphia Health Department resources older adults should know about Philadelphia at https://foodfitphilly.org/phillylovesfresh. Food Fit Philly (also provides information on sodium warnings and guides on what to look for on nutrition labels. From learning how to properly wash fruits and vegetables to learning if your produce is safe to eat, PHPD publishes timely and relevant articles in English and Spanish in at www. phila.gov/departments/department-of-public-health.

Report a concern By Mary Anna Rodabaugh

The Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) offers resources that can help older adults stay healthy, prepare for emergencies, and remain independent. Some services are especially relevant to older Philadelphians, whether they need affordable healthcare, vaccinations, information during extreme weather, or help understanding environmental health risks.

City health centers

The health centers offer more than just vaccines. Patients can also receive breast exams, cholesterol screenings, lung cancer screenings, prostate cancer screenings, basic dental care, and diagnosis and treatment of chronic and acute illnesses. All health centers, except Health Center 1, offer primary care services. PDPH’s health centers accept Medicare, Medicaid, HMO plans, and most other insurances. If you are uninsured, the centers will charge a small fee based on income and can also help you apply for affordable health insurance. Translation and interpretation services are also available. The health centers also treat urgent care (walk-in) patients but require appointments for certain services. For more information on city health centers, call 311.

Philadelphia runs eight health centers throughout the city. Each center provides primary care and medical support to registered patients. For older adults in need of vaccines, the health centers offer flu, COVID-19 and even Mpox (formerly known as monkey pox) vaccines. Mpox is available at Health Center 1, located at Air management services 1930 S. Broad St. Fl. 2 in South At first, you may not think twice Philadelphia. about air quality in Philadel-

phia. However, when Canada has sweeping wildfires, the smoke can travel to our area, making it difficult to breathe. PDPH makes it easy to check air quality data in real-time. They operate an ambient air monitoring network across Philadelphia. Ten permanent air monitoring stations provide critical information on the quality of air in Philadelphia. A van equipped with air sensors and other technology provides air quality data in additional areas. To provide even more information on air quality, PDPH launched a new initiative called Breathe Philly. It provides accurate hourly air quality measurements close to where you live.

Nutrition and physical activity

PDPH has a farmers market finder tool at www.phila.gov/ farmers-markets.The Philly Loves Fresh tool allows you to find produce trucks in West and Southwest

If you have a health or safety concern, such as noise pollution, illegal smoking, complaints about a medical facility, or to report mosquitoes, wasps, hornets or rats, you can do so on the PDPH services page. By voicing your health concerns, you are improving the health of your community, neighbors, and yourself. Call 311 to get you to the correct reporting line.

Health Information Portal (HIP)

The Health Information Portal was developed to communicate important health information to Philadelphia-area healthcare professionals. This includes a running list of advisories and webpages for health alerts in Philadelphia. Visit https://hip.phila.gov to learn more. You can contact the Philadelphia Department of Public Health at 215-686-5200 or www. phila.gov (search for “public health”). Mary Anna Rodabaugh is a writer, editor and writing coach.

Help paying for prescriptions is available

Pennsylvania’s Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the Elderly (PACE) Program helps qualified residents, age 65 and up, get prescription medicine at a lower cost. These programs work with Medicare Part D and other drug plans, like those from retiree plans, employers, Medicare Advantage and veterans’ benefits, to reduce the amount you pay out of pocket for medicine. The programs work with local, state and federal agencies to make sure older adults get the help they need. The PACE Application Center helps with filling out and submitting applications to get benefits. Here’s what they do: • Reach out to eligible people who haven’t signed up yet and help them apply • Make sure people don’t misuse their medicine • Help people sign up for other benefits, like Medicare Part D, Property Tax and Rent Rebates,

SNAP (food assistance) and LIHEAP (help with heating costs) To apply for PACE, call 1-800225-7223 or go to www.pacecares.primetherapeutics.com. Applicants should have income and insurance information available.

PCA and Center in the Park strengthen advocacy for long-term care residents across Philadelphia

By Bill Conallen Older adults living in long-term care settings deserve more than quality care. They deserve to be heard, treated with dignity and included in decisions that affect their daily lives. Philadelphia Corporation for Aging’s (PCA’s) Ombudsman Program helps make sure those voices are heard by providing advocacy, information and support to people living in long-term care communities throughout Philadelphia. Through a partnership with Center in the Park (CIP), the program provides Ombudsman services to residents across the entire city. The Germantown-based nonprofit administers the program through a contract with PCA. “Residents in long-term care facilities have basic rights that must be respected,” said Andrea DeLoatch, PCA Ombudsman Program Manager. “Our Ombudsman Program ensures that residents’ rights are upheld.” Ombudspeople serve as independent advocates for residents of nursing homes, personal care homes, assisted living communities, domiciliary care homes and adult day centers. They listen to residents’ concerns; investigate complaints;

and work with residents, families and care providers to resolve problems. Concerns can involve nearly every part of life in a long-term care setting. Ombudspeople may assist with questions about personal finances, Medicare and Medicaid benefits, billing, and access to personal funds. They can also address concerns involving meals, social activities, medications, nursing care, rehabilitation services and the physical environment. Protecting residents’ rights is another important part of their work. Ombudspeople can help residents understand policies involving admission, transfer and discharge while advocating for practices that preserve privacy, independence and dignity. The program also helps residents and families navigate what can sometimes be a complicated longterm care system. Ombudspeople provide information about residents’ rights, explain available options and connect individuals with additional long-term care programs and resources. Center in the Park’s expanded role brings advocacy to long-term care residents citywide. Founded in 1968, the nonprofit has deep roots in Phila-

delphia’s older adult community and provides a range of services. Its Ombudsman staff and volunteers visit long-term care settings, educate residents about their rights, and investigate concerns raised by residents or those acting on their behalf. “This citywide expansion strengthens protections for older adults and helps ensure that long-term care residents have access to independent advocacy when concerns arise,” Center in the Park Executive Director Reneé Cunningham said. “It also gives residents and their families another resource to help them understand their rights, raise concerns and navigate issues affecting their care and quality of life.” Volunteers are also an important part of the effort. Center in the Park is recruiting volunteer Ombudspeople to serve residents throughout

Philadelphia. They have a need for bilingual and bicultural volunteers who can help the program reflect the diversity of the communities it serves. Volunteers receive training and ongoing support. For residents and their families, having an Ombudsman available can mean having someone in their corner when questions or concerns arise. For PCA and Center in the Park, the partnership represents a shared commitment to making sure Philadelphia’s long-term care residents remain active participants in decisions about their lives and care. For Ombudsman services or information about volunteering, contact Center in the Park at 215-844-1829. More information is also available through the PCA Helpline at 215765-9040. Bill Conallen is the public relations specialist at Philadelphia Corporation for Aging.

Unite for HER helps heal, empower, restore people living with breast or ovarian cancer

By Jay Nachman

Chester County resident Sue Weldon was 39 when she received a breast cancer diagnosis in 2004. The experience led her to found Unite for HER, a national nonprofit that provides free supportive services and resources to people with breast and ovarian cancer. An active gymnastics coach and mother of three at the time of her diagnosis, Weldon underwent six months of chemotherapy and took an array of medications to treat the disease. She experienced fatigue, exhaustion and nausea. “It was a lot to navigate, and I didn’t realize what was going to be affecting me during that time. That’s when I was able to lean into learning about the power of inte-

grative therapies that could help me support myself during cancer,” she said. Weldon founded Unite for HER in 2009. Today, the organization serves approximately 11,000 people annually in all 50 states. Unite for HER’s integrative care model is intended to complement, rather than replace, traditional cancer treatment. The organization’s programs provide services addressing some of the physical, emotional and practical challenges that can accompany cancer care. Applications to Unite for HER’s wellness programs can be made through the organization’s website. Each recipient receives services valued at approximately $2,000. The Wellness Passport Pro-

gram is for people diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer, stages 1 through 4, within the past 18 months. The Empowered Living Program is available to people diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer at any stage, regardless of when they were diagnosed. Services available through the programs include acupuncture, yoga and meditation sessions; counseling; grocery gift cards; and meal delivery. Participants may also receive care packages containing products intended to provide additional support during treatment. The Empowered Living Program includes consultations with a registered dietitian and sixweek wellness workshops. Over the course of establishing Unite

for HER, Weldon said she learned about health equity and barriers to healthcare. Approximately 58% of Unite for HER’s recipients are women of color or come from communities that face barriers to accessing healthcare. The organization also offers programs for Spanish speakers and has Spanish-speaking staff available to serve them. Cancer treatment can create practical and financial challenges in addition to the medical demands of treatment. Weldon said some Unite for HER members struggle to afford basic necessities while undergoing treatment. “A lot of our members struggle with just getting food on the table. They have to choose sometimes between transportation to their chemotherapy or having food for their family,” Weldon said. “When we come in and give them a $150 gift card for groceries, that actually helps them with more than financial stressors, but their emotional stress and their overall nutrition.” Unite for HER’s programs are available to eligible people with breast or ovarian cancer. More information is available at www. uniteforher.org or by calling 610883-1177. Spanish-speaking individuals can call 484-836-2247.

Hydration matters: Simple ways to drink more water

By Janai Johnson

Water plays an important role in many body functions, yet many people do not think about hydration until they feel thirsty. Getting enough water helps regulate body temperature, cushion joints, protect sensitive tissues, remove waste, and prevent dehydration. Dehydration can affect how you feel and function. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), dehydration can contribute to difficulty concentrating, mood changes, overheating, constipation, and kidney stones. Your body may need more fluids when you are physically active, spend time in hot weather, have a fever, or experience vomiting or diarrhea. There is no single amount of water that everyone needs each day. Fluid needs vary based on factors, such as age, activity level, health conditions, and medications. Water and other beverages provide most of your daily fluid intake. Foods with high water content, such as

fruits and vegetables, can also help you stay hydrated. Here are a few simple ways to add more water to your daily routine: • Make it part of your routine. Drink water when you wake up, with meals, or when you take a break. • Give it some flavor by adding lemon, lime, cucumber, berries, or fresh mint. • Eat foods that contain water. Enjoy fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, oranges, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce, as part of your meals and snacks • Keep it cold and ready to drink. Store a bottle or pitcher of water in the refrigerator, so it is ready when you want it. • Set a reminder. Use your phone, watch, or another reminder to prompt you to drink water throughout the day. While water is a simple choice for staying hydrated, other beverages can also contribute to your daily fluid intake. Plain coffee and tea, sparkling water, milk, and unsweetened, fortified milk alternatives can also contribute to your daily fluid intake. Everyone’s hydration needs are different. If you have questions about how much water you should drink, talk with your doctor about what is right for you.
