Cancer: Screening, Prevention And Early Detection

P

revention is the best way to fight it, as many types of cancers can be prevented, while others are more easily treated when diagnosed early. Cancer screenings are an important part of early diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Colon Cancer Everyone age 50 and older needs to get regularly screened for colorectal (colon) cancer. When found early, colorectal cancer can be treated. Screening helps find abnormal growths that can be removed before they turn into cancer.

An interview with Dr. Thornwell Parker

Q: How can I help slow the skin aging process? A: Factors that cause skin aging are the same that cause skin cancer. Sun damage destroys elastic collagen fibers, leading to wrinkling and pigmentation blotchiness. Some treatments—including chemical peels and laser treatments—can simultaneously eliminate pre-cancerous damage while restoring cosmetic beauty. Addition procedures and rejuvenations such as face and eyelifts, performed with board-certified plastic surgery expertise, can be performed safely under IV sedation or local anesthesia.

Managing Skin Cancer and the Skin Aging Process

Q: Who is at risk for skin cancer? A: Everyone. It is the most common cancer, and patients at highest risk include those with excess sun or tanning salon exposure, fair skin, blue or green eyes, blonde or red hair, family members with skin cancer, immune suppression, and exposure to radiation or chemicals like arsenic. Q: How do I reduce my chances of skin cancer? A: Regular, professional skin exams are important. Early detection can catch cancer while it’s small, allowing for easier treatment. Perform monthly self-exams to watch for Continued on next page Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

any moles or spots that are changing, and avoid excess sun exposure. Wear protective clothing, liberally apply sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher containing titanium, zinc, or avobenzone, and wear protective lip balm. Q: Are skin cancers difficult to treat? A: Like a tree, skin cancers grow root-like extensions. Complete removal traditionally required taking extra skin, resulting in a large wound. Mohs micrographic surgery was developed to offer a more precise, yet conservative, approach to removing these root-like extensions. Q: What is Mohs surgery? A: Mohs removes skin cancer using specialized, state-of-the-art techniques of mapping and microscope examination. It has two main advantages: superior cure rate—approximately 99% for new cancers and 95% for cancers that have come back after other types of treatment—and a minimal amount of skin removed during surgery. Additionally, Mohs is performed safely under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Q: For what types of skin cancer is Mohs surgery recommended? A: Mohs surgery is particularly well suited for skin cancers on the face,

22 GREATER DALLAS – 2018 SUMMER–WINTER

basal cell or squamous cell cancers, melanoma, and ill-defined, recurrent, or aggressive cancers. Q: Who is qualified to perform Mohs surgery? A: Only members of the American College of Mohs Surgery. Membership requires an additional one or two years of fellowship training. Q: Will I need plastic surgery after my skin cancers are removed? A: A fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon is also trained in reconstructive procedures and will usually perform any necessary stitching to repair the wound. Wounds that are large or in cosmetically significant areas may also require the expertise of a plastic surgeon. ~ Editors note: This article was submitted by Dr. Thornwell Parker of Skin Cancer Consultants.

Psychological Support

esearch shows that one in two men and one in three women will receive a cancer diagnosis during their lifetime. A cancer diagnosis can be lifechanging, whether that diagnosis is your own, or that of a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker.

Getting quality medical care is vital to treating cancer, but equally important is getting emotional and psychological care and support on a cancer journey. Cancer does not only impact one’s physical health. For the person who has the diagnosis and their loved ones, a cancer diagnosis can exacerbate existing personal stressors and cause new ones, such as financial concerns, fear, depression and isolation. With the incidence of cancer on the rise and an increase in cancer survivors living five years or more beyond diagnosis, the need for psychosocial and emotional support has both increased and been demonstrated to improve the quality of life and long term outcomes for cancer patients. In 2007, the Institute of Medicine recognized that a comprehensive cancer treatment plan must include this type of support. In other words, one is not receiving the “gold standard” of oncology care unless one receives emotional and psychological support, along with medical treatment.

The Alzheimer’s Association’s 2018 Facts & Figures Report Reveals Increases in Alzheimer’s Prevalence and Costs of Care

W

ith each passing year, new data continues to prove that Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic. Significant increases in costs and incidence, including care costs for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias surpassing a quarter of a trillion dollars have been reported in the Alzheimer’s Association 2018 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report. However, this years report goes beyond the statistics with a special report on the financial and personal benefits of early diagnosis, addressing prevalence, mortality and morbidity, caregiving and what the disease could mean to our health care system if left unchecked. As the number of older Americans grows rapidly, so does the number of people living with Alzheimer’s and the impact to the nation’s economy. An estimated 5.7 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s with an expected increase to 7.1 million people by 2025. “In the Greater Dallas area alone, there are approximately 64,000 people with Alzheimer’s and it continues to increase each year. This number does not include all those who are affected by the disease such as family and caregivers,” states

30 GREATER DALLAS – 2018 SUMMER–WINTER


Alzheimer’s disease is not only affecting those diagnosed, but caregivers as well. Due to the long duration of this disease, the strain on Alzheimer’s caregivers can last several years and produce serious declines in caregiver physical, emotional and financial well-being. In 2017, 16 million Americans provided an estimated 18.4 billion hours of unpaid care in the form of physical, emotional and financial support at a valued cost of $232.1 billion. The difficulties in providing this level resulted in an estimated $11.4 billion of additional health care costs for Alzheimer’s and other dementia caregivers in 2017. By 2050, the

total cost of care is projected to exceed $1.1 trillion. Unfortunately, mortality from Alzheimer’s disease also continues to rise. While deaths from other major causes continue to decrease, new data shows that deaths from Alzheimer’s disease have more than doubled, increasing 123 percent between 2000 and 2015. In comparison, the number of deaths from heart disease – the number one killer in America – decreased 11 percent.

“Alzheimer’s is the most underrecognized threat to public health in the 21st century” according to Dr. David Satcher, former U.S. Surgeon General and former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director. Investing in a nationwide Alzheimer’s public health response will help create population-level change, achieve a higher quality of life for those living with the disease and their caregivers, and reduce associated costs.

was working with an Adult Protective Services representative just a few days ago, and she said something very profound.

You May Not Be Able to Plan in Advance Later On continued any power of attorney documents and not being able to make the required showing to get a guardianship. The woman from APS said, “It’s always to soon, until it’s too late.” How true.

People often assume that, just because they are family, they will be able to jump right in, take over the finances, help with medical decisions, etc. WRONG!

Many families keep putting off the very critical act of executing the proper set of documents to insure that they can legally pitch in to help, if a loved one needs assistance. Procrastination can cost - BIG TIME! A will, financial powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, advance directives, declaration of guardians in the event of later need are essential for every adult member of the family. If there are minor children in the mix, there should also be a declaration of guardian for your children in the event of later need. People often assume that, just because they are family, they will be able to jump right in, take over the finances, help with medical decisions, etc. WRONG! And the consequences of not having the right authority when you need it can be dramatic. When a family member needs help, the bills don’t just automatically stop! Imagine the anguish that results from not being able to access that family members finances. No one realized the need to plan ahead. It’s frustrating, gut-wrenching and expensive, if you have to come out of your own pocket to pay those bills. Consult with an elder attorney. There are issues that you probably haven’t thought of and questions that you don’t know the answers to. Please do it NOW! Remember, it’s always to soon, until it’s too late. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by J. Clarke Wilcox, attorney with Whatley Wilcox, PLLC. He may be reached at 888-593-5337.

n the past few years, scams of senior adults utilizing social media have skyrocketed according to law enforcement and social service agencies resulting in significant amounts of much needed financial assets being lost with little or no chance of recovery. “It is an epidemic targeting the most vulnerable, who also happen to control 70% of the nation’s wealth,” says Julie Krawczyk, Director of the Elder Financial Safety Center, a collaboration of The Senior Source, Dallas County District Attorney’s office, and the Probate Courts. Many seniors have embraced social media to keep in touch with friends and family, and it has become a popular tool utilized to combat isolation and loneliness. However, scammers, primarily located overseas, have found this to be an easy, fertile ground for financial exploitation, particularly of seniors. According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, online 46 GREATER DALLAS – 2018 SUMMER–WINTER

Here are a few recommendations to address the issues and risks: n N ever, ever accept a Facebook friend request from someone you don’t know! This is currently the most active social media portal scammers are using to worm their way into the lives of lonely seniors, particularly women, eventually evolving into a one on one texting relationship. n N ever deposit a check into your bank or credit union account from someone you have never met face to face, or is not a known service provider you utilize. There is absolutely no reason for you to be an intermediary depository for someone asking you to then send funds elsewhere. The deposit eventually bounces and the money or cards you passed on are gone forever, and you are on the hook for the deficit caused in your account. n A spouse or trusted offspring should monitor closely internet activity of an aging senior.

romance scams account for higher financial losses than any other internet-based crime. It’s not uncommon for victims to lose tens of thousands of dollars, even reaching six figures in some cases.

t is April and the mosquito season has officially begun. With warmer weather you can expect to see increase in mosquito breeding. Increase in mosquitos brings with it the danger of mosquito-borne diseases. The most serious disease spread the bite of mosquitos remains West Nile Virus (WNV). WNV is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitos become infected when they feed on the blood from infected birds. The infected mosquitos can then transmit WNV to humans and animals. WNV can make you sick, even worse cause neurologic complications or worse yet, death. What is Dallas County doing about this? Dallas County conducts mosquito surveillance, testing and where necessary spraying. What can you do to avoid catching the virus? Simply follow the 4 Ds - (1) DEET-Use insect

Change water in wading pools, pet dishes and birdbaths several times per week; and (4) DUSK & DAWNStay indoors during dusk and dawn hours when mosquitoes are most active. Dallas County will do its part to mitigate the mosquito problem and you do your part to take the precautions – the 4 Ds. Together we can FIGHT THE BITE!~

he flu is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. This flu season has been extremely severe both nationally as well here in Dallas County. As of April 2018, Dallas County has seen close to 2,900 reported flu-related hospitalizations and worse yet 83 flu-related deaths of which 4 are children and 60 are adults over the age of 60. CDC reports people with heart disease and those have had a stroke are at high risk for developing the flu. So why was this flu season so severe? It is hard to pinpoint the reason as to why this season is so severe except to acknowledge that the virus can spread rapidly and evenly across the whole country. How can you reduce the risk of getting the flu? It’s simple; get the flu shot early in the season, preferably in October and wash your hands frequently. To prevent the spread of flu- cover your cough/sneezes with the bend of your elbow and staying

“I Think I’ll Wait Until My Hearing Gets Really Bad” What is your reason to postpone an investment in better hearing?

W

hile cost may certainly be a concern, it has also been shown that even when hearing aids are free, many still balk at wearing them. What’s worse is when physicians tell their patients that they are “too young” to wear hearing aids, or “not bad enough yet,” or that “hearing aids only make things louder.” Physicians who are not Ear, Nose and Throat specialists get very little education about hearing in medical school. Even ENTs who are quite knowledgeable about ears are seldom educated about hearing aids, but because they are medical doctors, patients listen to them and accept as fact statements that might only be opinions. Hearing aid technology changes so frequently that audiologists can barely keep up, but that’s precisely what makes audiology a specialty that requires several years of schooling and constant updating! When your physician (or anyone!) tells you to skip getting hearing aids for now, ask if s/he knows of a medical or surgical intervention that will make you hear better or make your tinnitus subside. If the answer is no, then get out of there and head to an audiologist for another opinion. If you have trouble hearing - even “sometimes” - please don’t postpone taking care of it.

Any abnormal growth, bump, or lump in your wrist or hand is generally considered a tumor. This word can be frightening since it’s usually associated with cancer; however, that is rarely the case. In reality, nearly all tumors of the hands and wrists are benign. They can present on the surface of the skin in the form of a mole or wart, or underneath the skin near the soft tissue or bone. It’s important to realize that your hands are wondrously complex mechanisms composed of a vast network of integrated skin, fat, ligaments, tendons, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, bones, and more. Therefore, a wide variety of tumors can occur in them but don’t worry — they can be treated. GANGLION CYSTS Ganglion cysts, also called Bible cysts, are the most common types of hand tumors or masses. They are usually found in the wrist but can also appear at the base of your fingers or joints. The cyst will be firm and filled with a thick, sticky, clear substance. Sometimes one large cyst may pop up while other times several smaller ones may appear. Often what may look like many small cysts is still one large one, connected by a common stalk.

BOUT MASSES & TUMORS

How To Address Masses, Tumors and Ganglion Cysts On Your Hands

Ganglion cysts are more prevalent in women and typically show up between the ages of 20 and 40 years. Causes are not definitively known. It’s commonly accepted that they are related to stress or trauma of the hand. Treatments vary from observation without intervention to puncturing it with a needle (aspiration), or possibly removing it surgically. OTHER TYPES OF TUMORS A giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath is the next most common variety of hand tumor. This tumor is different than the ganglion cyst since it is completely solid, whereas the ganglion cyst is filled with liquid. These tumors are usually benign and associated with degenerative joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

How to Address Masses, Tumors and Ganglion Cysts On Your Hands continued cyst (also benign) and appears under the epidermis, typically on the same site as a previous cut or injury. This cyst is filled with a waxy substance called keratin. Other types of tumors include lipomas, which are fatty tumors, as well as neuromas (nerve tumors), nerve sheath tumors, fibromas, and glomus tumors. DIAGNOSIS Despite having or not having symptoms such as hand pain or weakness, it is always a good idea to have any cyst evaluated by a doctor. Your doctor can confirm the type of cyst with which you are dealing. He or she can also allay any fears you may have about it. Furthermore, your doctor will talk with you to determine the best treatment option. Typically, cysts do not necessarily mandate emergency

treatment unless it has experienced major trauma. Your doctor may also perform a more intensive examination by aspirating or taking a fluid sample from the cyst, or by using an ultrasound. Do not engage in popular home remedies for cysts since they could be more harmful than helpful. REPORT NEW FINDINGS Tumors and masses found on the body can be seemingly intimidating, inciting a fear of cancer in some. While we want you to rest assured that these growths are usually benign, we also want to encourage you to always have new findings checked out. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Skin Cancer Consultants.

Cancer: Screening, Prevention And Early Detection continued from page 11

Almost all colorectal cancers start as polyps, or abnormal growths in the colon or rectum. Screening can help find these polyps so they can be removed before turning into cancer. Breast Cancer Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, after skin cancer. The risk of developing breast cancer increases as women get older. Current recommendations are for women ages 50 to 74 to get a mammogram (an x-ray picture of the breasts) every two years. Cervical Cancer Pap tests are recommended every three years for women ages 21-65. There are other screening options for cervical cancer, too. Lung Cancer I urge you, if you smoke, to quit now. Lung cancer, one of the many risks from smoking, is the leading cancer killer in women. If you are over 55 and a current smoker, or someone who has quit within the past 15 years, ask your doctor about lung cancer screening.

Skin Cancer Nearly 5 million people are treated for skin cancer every year in the U.S. Skin cancer can be serious, expensive, and sometimes even deadly. Fortunately, most skin cancers can be prevented. Protect your skin when you go outside. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothes, or hang out in the shade when you can.

Prostate Cancer Men who are 55 to 69 years old should make individual decisions about being screened for prostate cancer with a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test. Men who are 70 years old and older should not be screened for prostate cancer routinely.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

Older Adults in Dallas

S

year, thousands still enter nursing homes — never knowing they had the option to remain in their own homes with assistance from a home caregiver.

Nearly 9 in 10 seniors say they’d prefer to keep living at home rather than move to a facility. Yet every

“I prefer being at home because it lets me be with my husband and my pets,” says Mrs. Granger, whose severe stroke in 2016 rendered her unable to be left alone without care. Her caregiver, Annie, stays every day between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., which allows Mrs. Granger’s

eniors in Dallas/Fort Worth know they are lucky. Not only is this a great place to live, but here they have the ability to grow old without leaving their own homes or losing their independence due to home care agencies that provide caregivers and care managers based on customized care plans.

husband to continue working. “In these economic times, he couldn’t afford to retire,” she notes. “But during the day, Annie watches over me all the time, to make sure I’m safe and don’t fall.” Another Home Care client is 94-year-old Mrs. Stuart. Now suffering from pulmonary fibrosis, she is tied to an oxygen tank 24 hours a day and needs a wheelchair. All of her friends her age already moved into an assisted living facility,

but that was not for her. “When I talk to them on the phone, I laugh when they ask me when I’m going to move into their place,” she says. “If I just had one or two rooms I’d feel too closed-in. I have a number of collections and I can look at them any time I want. I’m just so happy to be around this house, where my hummingbirds and all my memories are.” Despite her frailty and illness, Mrs. Stuart can keep her independent lifestyle — with help from her livein caregiver. “She helps me shower and does all the cooking, housekeeping and driving. She reminds me to take my medicine. She fixes really good meals!” Role reversal is equally stressful for adult children and their elderly parents alike. Home care agencies provide relief and peace of mind to their clients and their families because living at home is the best place to live. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Jared Caplan, General Manager, Home Care Assistance of Dallas, 214-363-3400, jcaplan@homecareassistance.com.

Planning for Retirement continued from page 115 a year in a skilled nursing facility is 64% higher than what seniors estimate. The message here: Plan for your care and put money aside for these costs! Of seniors surveyed, 46% have not saved enough money to cover a year of: in-home care, an assisted living (53%) or a skilled nursing facility (59%). Too often seniors outlive their money or spend their savings on care for a spouse, leaving little for themselves. They may depend on family or government for assistance, which unfortunately puts stress not only on the senior but their family as well. What happens if Medicaid policies change, all money is spent, and families have no other resource to supplement care? For

those currently in this position and with little income, help is available through grants, previous employer resources, government sources, Veterans Affairs benefits, as well as local support services such as the Senior Source in Dallas. If there is time, then you must plan for your future. Decide on your plan of care, set aside resources, and discuss this with adult children so they can plan with you. Most importantly, your family will know your wishes and feel comforted that a plan is in place. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Dr. Nancy Oppenheimer-Marks with Home Instead Senior Care.

Many have a non-profit organization that can help support the care of non-covered patients. IN-PATIENT CARE – These hospices offer full hospice services in their on-campus unit or building. The patient moves into the inpatient care facility to receive their hospice services rather than in the patients’ home setting.

PET THERAPY – There’s nothing like a visit from a four-legged creature to brighten the day of a terminally ill patient. Pet therapy teams visit with patients wherever they reside – at home or in professional care settings. Studies have shown many benefits of pet companionship, ranging from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to relief from boredom, pain and loneliness. This service is not reimbursed by Medicare. VA CONTRACT – If the patient is not a Medicare Recipient and is covered by the VA, the VA will make payments directly to their contracted agencies.

Senior Housing Definitions continued from page 147 SECURED UNIT – A secured unit dedicated to Alzheimer’s/Dementia residents to prevent wandering outside the community without supervision. SHORT-TERM CARE – Acute care provided on a short term basis. SKILLED CARE – 24 hour licensed nursing services, eight hours of which are RN covered. Patient may receive rehab services either inpatient or outpatient and may be fully dependent for ADL’s. Patients receive medications by an RN according to a licensed physicians orders. SKILLED NURSING FACILITY – Facilities provide 24/7 care for residents and offer full assistance with ADL’s. Daily rates typically include a furnished bedroom and a private or shared bath, meals, activities, transportation, phone service, cable television and all personal/nursing care. Payor sources usually accepted are Medicare,

Medicaid, VA, some insurance plans and private sources. TRACH CARE – Refers to care administered to patients who have undergone a tracheotomy. A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea). The surgeon inserts a tube into the opening to bypass an obstruction, allow air to get to the lungs, or remove secretions. VENTILATOR - Moves breatheable air into and out of the lungs, to provide the mechanism of breathing for a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or is breathing insufficiently. WANDERGUARD - Offered at some facilities. A resident with memory loss or confusion wears a small discrete pendant. Each external door in the care home is fitted with a radio detector which detects when a pendant moves near an exit. The WanderGuard will sound an audible alarm, alerting the staff of a patient wandering. ~ Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com 235


Understanding the Difference Between Alzheimer’s and Dementia continued from page 213 settings. As dementia progresses, memory, reasoning, communication, and the ability to perform daily activities are inhibited. Other signs of dementia can include repeatedly asking the same questions, poor hygiene and poor decision-making. The progression of dementia can worsen over time, and the underlying disease contributing to the dementia will give an indication of how fast and how severe the dementia could become. Although dementia most often occurs in senior adults, it is not considered a normal part of aging. In some cases, young people may also develop dementia due to infections such as HIV, vascular disease, stroke, depression or chronic drug use. What is Alzheimer’s Disease? Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia and accounts for 60 to 80 percent of diagnosed dementia. It is a progressive disease of the brain that affects memory, thinking and behavior. Though symptoms are often mild at 236 GREATER DALLAS – 2018 SUMMER–WINTER

the onset of the disease, as they worsen over time, Alzheimer’s often interferes with daily tasks. In the late stages of the disease, Alzheimer’s can limit one’s ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in America and there is no cure for the disease. Some treatments for Alzheimer’s can slow the progression of symptoms, improving overall quality of life for the person living with Alzheimer’s. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s, you are not alone. There are licensed and certified state-of-the-art assisted living residences for those living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as other memory disorders. Many communities and churches provide support groups for family members, ongoing caregiver support and grief counseling. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Mandy Quinn with The Cottages at Chapel Creek.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

moderate, it may surprise seekers to discover that there is a difference between the staff to resident ratio found in smaller versus larger facilities. It is not uncommon to encounter a Residential Care Home with a ratio of 1 caregiver to 3 residents. While at larger facilities they could surpass a ratio of 1:12 during shifts. Neglect and abuse are growing concerns due to the influx of new facilities simply meeting basic requirements. More than the frequency of contact between a staff and residents, an environment with a corporate feel can trigger unwelcoming emotions for someone wrestling with familiarity. Sometimes a larger assisted living facility will use linoleum floors, hospital style curtains in

semi-private rooms, and cafeteria-style food services. Residential Care Homes have proved to be a solid option for older adults while seeking a welcoming place to call their new home under the assisted living umbrella.

What Do Smaller Assisted Living Facilities Have to Offer Over the Larger, More Corporate-Type Assisted Living Facilities? continued from page 217

This viewpoint is not to say, necessarily that there aren’t benefits of a larger, more corporate facility structure. Choosing an assisted living facility takes a great deal of research, and time visiting and interviewing different facilities and administrators. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Garland Serenity Homes.

The Cultural Hub The Point & Pavilion at CC Young Enriches Lives, Builds Community

E

very community needs a hub. A place where people can gather, enjoy fellowship, share ideas, engage with the world around them or simply hang out. The ancient Greeks had their stoas. Early Americans had the town square. And CC Young, Dallas’s premier senior living community, has The Point, its highly regarded arts, wellness and education center. “We designed The Point as a culturally rich place for learning, growth and connection,” said Russell Crews, CC Young’s president and CEO. “Whether you’re looking to grab a snack in the café, or take a class, attend a lecture or practice Tai Chi, there’s really something every day for all of our residents, their families and the greater Dallas community, age 55 and better. Most of what we offer is free as a

way to encourage engagement in life.” Celebrating its 10th anniversary, The Point is a 20,000-square-foot “destination” building, a gorgeous space that forges a strong connection between CC Young residents and the community’s neighbors in Dallas. Among other amenities, The Point features an art gallery, a fitness center, an auditorium, a theater, a meditation chapel, rental spaces and more. The Point is adjacent to the community’s Central Park and Pavilion, a one-of-a-kind, large-scale sculpture surrounded by idyllic green spaces—perfect for hosting special events and enriching experiences for all ages. “Our vision at CC Young is to enhance the quality of life for all we serve, and we have a particular passion around the importance of

creativity in the later years,” said Crews. “Our philosophy of senior living is that if you provide opportunities for an active lifestyle, you’ll be promoting wellness and general health. The Point and Pavilion give our residents a central place to gather, learn and have fun.” From swing band dance events to senior-friendly technology classes to monthly artist talks, there is always

something going on. Because of this full social calendar, The Point draws 3,000 visitors a month, making it one of the region’s most vibrant arts and cultural centers. If you are interested in learning more about The Point & Pavilion, contact Brian Parman, Director, at 972-755-3260 or bparman@ ccyoung.org. ~
