“Treasured Caregivers” are recognized at nautical-themed lunch celebration The Beaver County Office on Aging (BCOA) Care Management team honored their “Treasured Caregivers” at the 12th annual Family Caregiver Program recognition seminar on June 22. The purpose of the event was to give caregivers a relaxing day away from caregiving duties, provide education and tips on taking

care of their loved ones, and help them to feel appreciated for what they do.

Attendees were treated to a delicious buffet luncheon provided by the Monaca Turners. All caregivers were greeted and photographed in front of an ocean backdrop complete with a wooden dock housing a

pelican, giant sea horse and sea turtle, which all complimented the “Under the Sea” party theme.

Eleven caregivers and their guests were welcomed to the event by Care Management supervisor Tesi Dye. Keynote speakers included 2016 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

T

he Beaver County Office on Aging is proud to announce the graduation of the second PEER group at Beaver Meadows, part of St. Barnabas.

PEER stands for Pennsylvania’s Empowered Expert Residents.

The project is a concept that trains residents in the facility to be advocates for other residents by enhancing the quality of care and quality of life for the residents in that facility. PEER volunteers work closely with the staff and administration of the facility, as well as coordinating with the local staff ombudsman.

Five training sessions took place at Beaver Meadows conducted by the Beaver County Office on Aging’s staff ombudsmen Joline Pawlack and Tracey Weyman, along with volunteer ombudsman Jean Dobay. The staff at Beaver Meadows also had a special session to learn about PEER. After graduation, the staff ombudsman will meet regularly with the PEERS to provide support.

“Extra Help” lowers Medicare prescription drug costs

M

any older adults and people with disabilities on Medicare struggle with prescription drug costs, especially if they take expensive medications or hit the “donut hole” at some point during the year. The good news is that help is available with Medicare prescription drug costs. Individuals can apply for this help at any time during the year, and the application generally does not require sending in any documentation to prove one’s information.

To qualify for Extra Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Costs, individuals must meet income and resource guidelines that can change each year. In 2016, the income limit is $1,485/month and the resources limit is $13,640 for a single person. For married couples, the income limit is $2,003/month and the resource limit is $27,250. Resources do not include someone’s primary residence, motor vehicles, life insurance, burial spaces or plots, or some pre-paid burial accounts.

Since not all income or resources count,

people are encouraged to apply even if they appear to be over these limits.

purple colored paper to notify these individuals about their Extra Help.

The Social Security Administration handles the applications for Extra Help. Individuals can apply online (ssa.gov/prescriptionhelp), by phone (800-772-1213), or by mail (must be an original paper application and not a photocopy). As mentioned earlier, people are not required to send in documentation with their application.

If Social Security needs any additional information, they will contact the applicant to request this. All applicants will get a written notice telling them whether they qualify for Extra Help, how much help they will get, and when the Extra Help starts. Those who are denied Extra Help can appeal.

There are two levels of Extra Help: full help and partial help. Those with the lowest income and resources qualify for full help, as do people on both Medicare and Medicaid. Others qualify for partial help. Extra Help lowers or eliminates the person’s Part D premium and annual deductible, limits their copays at the pharmacy, and eliminates the donut hole. Extra Help can save people thousands of dollars a year in prescription drug costs.

Please note: Medicare beneficiaries who get any help from Medicaid (even if it is just the help with the Medicare Part B premium) automatically qualify for Extra Help and do not need to apply. Medicare sends out letters on

Anyone who needs help applying for Extra Help or who wants more information about Extra Help is encouraged to call APPRISE at (800) 783-7067. Individuals denied Extra Help can call the Pennsylvania Health Law Project at (800) 274-3258 for help.

Keen-Age News . . . For Beaver County’s Active Seniors Beaver County Office on Aging

Angela has grown an Austrian lettuce this summer.

Here’s the “dirt” on everevolving gardens!

By Angela Gentile, Planning Unit Program Monitor Beaver County Office on Aging For Beaver County Senior News

Y

ou can say that I like playing in the dirt. I enjoy growing vegetables. My thought is if I am going to spend time growing plants, it might as well be something that I can eat.

There are lots of seniors who like to play in the dirt, too. All of the plots are in use at the Beaver County Senior Gardens in Brighton Township. What began several decades ago as simply just garden plots for adults ages 60 and older to grow vegetables and flowers has morphed into a true, vibrant community garden.

The latest addition this year has been a 21-by-26-foot, open-air steel shelter pavilion. It is a great place for gardeners to take a break from the sun and to get out of the rain. Plus, it will be a site for future educational gardening education programs and workshops, meetings and socials.

The Senior Garden Project expanded to include younger people, including a Beaver Girl Scout Troop, New Horizon School and the WIN (Working with Individual’s Needs) program of the Beaver County Rehabilitation Center.

Two church groups have joined in, too.

The benefit is that younger people are learning gardening techniques and some of the churches are sharing their harvest with others in need throughout the county.

As many of you may know, I am a member of the Master Gardeners and am always amazed by how much produce can be harvested from several plants. I help my parents with their senior garden in Brighton Township.

In addition to the gardens, I maintain two small gardens at home. Each

year, I attempt to grow something new along with my regular crop. This year I have planted seeds to grow Chinese red beans, which are very long; Italian yellow bean which resembles a Roman bean; and apple-shaped gourds. I am looking forward to tasting the results of the beans. The gourds are decorative.

Plants can be expensive, but I am able to use plants for my garden that my father has produced from seed cultivated under lights. He has been very successful doing it! Sometimes he grows too much and my sister and I have to take the excess plants.

If I ask for five plants, I can expect to take 10 home. Recently, when asked if I needed some cabbage, I received 12 plants. I asked my dad, “What do you think one little girl is going to do with 12 cabbage plants?” He said “just take the plants,” and that was the end of the conversation. My mother chimed in that I should plan to make a lot of haluski this summer. That is not a bad idea, but I am hoping Mom will help.

It was a relief that I got away with only having to take eight tomato plants home this year. Most years, I have at least 12.

Along with many older adults, we love gardening and look forward to planting season every year. Just imagine, all of this delicious nutritious produce is grown from people who enjoy playing in the dirt! BCSN To learn more about availability the senior gardens for the next growing season, contact the Penn State Extension at (724) 774-3003.

The Beaver County Office on Aging and the Beaver County Master Gardeners at Penn State Extension have worked together for years on the project. Now, partnerships have flourished with the Beaver County Commissioners, Beaver County Jail Community Service Program, Brighton Township Supervisors, Job Training for Beaver County and others to keep adding numerous features and improvements.

This included several water sources, sheds, compost boxes, benches, picnic tables, parking lot, more garden plots, trash cans and lawn service.

Prostate Cancer: What You Need to Know

By Ronald O. Monah, M.D., Senior Medical Director, Gateway HealthSM For Beaver County Senior News

W

hat is prostate cancer?

The prostate gland is an important part of the male reproductive system. It is located between the rectum and urinary bladder and can be felt during a digital rectal exam. It is a small organ that is about the size of a walnut and produces semen, which is the fluid that carries sperm during sexual intercourse. Its size increases with age and its growth is fueled primarily by the male hormone testosterone.

What are the symptoms of prostate cancer? In its early stages, no symptoms might be noticeable. As the disease progresses, some changes might occur. These include frequent urination, an urgent need to urinate and more than usual nighttime urination. Since these same symptoms can occur with other diseases, you should always seek the advice of a physician.

Who can get prostate cancer? Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), about one out of five men or 20 percent will get this disease. There is a greater chance of developing prostate cancer as a man gets older. This disease also has a higher prevalence among African American men.

As a man matures, usually after age 50, the prostate continues to grow.

When this happens, the prostate tissue can press on the urethra, which is the thin tube that empties urine from the bladder. This can

lead to problems passing urine.

This condition is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but it’s important to know that this condition is not cancer, nor does it lead to prostate cancer.

If you are suspected of having prostate cancer, then a small needle biopsy of the prostate is taken to confirm a cancer diagnosis. Generally, prostate cancer is considered a low grade cancer because it grows slowly in the body. Treatments are determined on the severity of the cancer and the age of the individual.

What is a prostate cancer screening? There are two screening tools used to test for prostate cancer.

The first is a digital rectal exam, whereby the doctor inserts a finger inside the rectum to feel for any abnormalities in size and shape of the organ. The second screening test is a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test, which looks for elevated proteins in the blood produced by the prostate gland. Men should speak with their doctors about the benefits of these tests.

Unfortunately, the tests aren’t perfect – especially the PSA. Sometimes there are false positives and false negatives which may require additional testing such as an ultrasound or a needle biopsy. The research is still out for determining best screening methods and if in fact the screening

methods are useful. Two years ago, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force conducted a comprehensive review of the medical evidence and concluded that the benefits of PSAbased screening for prostate cancer do not outweigh the expected risks.

Discuss with your doctor if prostate cancer screening is appropriate for you.

What happens if I have prostate cancer?

Because prostate cancer generally grows very slowly, most physicians decide to take the “watch and wait” approach. This is decided because some of the treatments are radical and do more harm than good. Radiation burns the skin and surgery can sever sensitive nerves responsible for urinary and sexual functions, which may lead to incontinence or impotence. Hormone therapy is also a possible option. If you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, depending on age and stage of cancer, your doctor will help you decide which treatment is best for you.

Finally, while cancer is not always preventable, the best thing for you to do is to stay healthy by eating a well-balanced diet, get regular exercise and make sure yearly exams and other health screenings and vaccinations are up to date. Simple lifestyle changes such as drinking less alcohol and quitting smoking can also help reduce your risk. By knowing your body, lab test results and vital signs, you can stay ahead of prostate cancer as much as possible. BCSN More information on prostate health is available at cancer.gov.

Stem Cell Therapy and Willie Nelson: Rebels by Their Own Rules

By Matt Reinstetle For Beaver County Senior News In the world of country music, few people march to the beat or their own drum - or better yet, guitar - quite like Willie Nelson.

Nelson, 82, has been active in the country music scene since the Willie Nelson’s rebel mid 1950s and continues to tour. mentality led him to finding In the 1970s, country music was alternatives to traditional confined to a set of standards standards both inside the known as the Nashville Sound, recording studio and for which featured clean-cut and treating his lung disease. formulaic stylings. Nelson, and other country artists, ushered in a new wave of country music known as Outlaw Country, which didn’t play by the rules.

That mentality led him to not being afraid to go against traditional standards inside and outside the recording studio.

In November, Nelson said in an interview with The Washington Post that he had undergone a stem cell therapy treatment to help his emphysema and pneumonia, brought on by years of cigarette smoking.

The Lung Institute uses autologous stem cells, also known as “adult” stem cells, from the patient’s own body. The stem cells are extracted from the body, separated and returned intravenously.

The cells then travel through the heart and into the lungs where they are trapped in what the Lung Institute calls the “pulmonary trap.” Once in the trap, the stem cells promote healing.

Since opening their first clinic in 2013, the Lung Institute has treated more than 2,000 people with lung disease. A recent study produced by the clinic found that 82 percent of their patients saw an improvement in quality of life.

One of those people is Richard L., of Fort. McCoy, Fla., whose last name is abbreviated for medical privacy. Richard visited the Lung Institute in 2015 and noticed improvements with his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms.

“I couldn’t even go inside a store without using portable oxygen,” Richard said. “Now, half of the time I just leave it in the car.”

When the traditional way of thinking is no longer working, it sometimes takes a rebel mentality to shake up an industry for the better. BCSN
