COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT BREAST AUGMENTATION 3ALINE V 3ILICONE Saline implants are filled with a sterile saline solution that has the consistency of water, whereas silicone is a slightly thicker gel that is closer to the consistency of natural tissue. The difference is more obvious to patients with less breast tissue between the skin and the implant. Saline implants are filled by the physician after placement, so they do not require as large an incision as silicone implants that are pre-filled by the manufacturer. Note that “gummy bear� refers to a type of silicone implants.

3IZING The patient’s body dimensions, natural tissue, and goals will guide the physician to determine the measurements for the implant base diameter (width of the implant). Once the base diameter and type of implant are selected, the patient must only decide the projection desired, which is a scale from 1 (nobody can tell) to 4 (obvious augmentation). #OSMETIC 3URGERY Cosmetic procedures like breast augmentation are performed under local anesthesia, as opposed to general anesthesia. This reduces recovery time and procedure risk, in addition to significantly reducing the cost of augmentation.

The procedure takes only 1-2 hours, and is performed here at Luxe. It’s far easier than you may imagine.

~Christina Georgina Rossetti, “A Year’s Windfalls,” 1866 It is time to enjoy the month of love with thoughts of your special valentine. This month MLiving investigates what you need to know to make you comfortable in your home, with remodeling, new construction or with the decision to move to a new home or planned community.

We also discuss the financial planning for these changes in MFinance.

Decorating a home can be tough, but made easier if you put your personality into choosing the decor — it’s all about being comfortable today. See how Dan Kory and Elaine Canning did just that in MHome.

Our health column takes a look at dental issues, an important topic as we age. As part of our 2017 health resolution, we include an active lifestyle round-up for you — places to go and things to do to make your life healthier and more fun.

Dining Out visits M’Osteria, a popular new eatery on the food scene. We talk with Tim Harrington on our Profile page.

As we age sometimes it is fun to remember... pick up a pack of Valentine cards (the kind that you received as a child) and send them out to your friends; I bet that will make them smile.

As always, email me with any comments or suggestions at pnowak@adamsstreetpublishing.com Best, Pat Nowak, Editor

& Kathny Wade Joh In early 2016 Kathy and John Wade made a big decision. After residing for over 30 years in a Bowling Green single family home, they made the move to a villa within a multifamily development. “To be honest,� states Kathy with a sheepish smile, “I just like looking at houses and I started with no agenda in mind.

The more I looked at condos and villas the more I liked the idea.

I knew John would need to be convinced.� Kathy, a recently retired nurse, posed the ultimate question to her husband. “I asked him which he preferred: lawn maintenance or golf? I knew that would steer the discussion in a positive direction.�

John, who is semi-retired from Environmental Water, LTD reluctantly agreed. “It is true that I was the one who needed to be convinced. I had so many preconceived ideas about living in a condo or villa. Nosy neighbors, feeling cramped, association fees that were too high... all the usual stuff. Beside golf,� he claims, acknowledging his wife’s sales pitch, “I was also concerned about our cabin.� (The Wades have a summer cabin near Coldwater Michigan.) “Outdoor maintenance on two places was always difficult.

By eliminating one of those chores it gave us both a lot more freedom to enjoy our summers.�

Kathy and John are healthy, active and fully able to maintain a home. For now. “We have two wonderful daughters who are married to great guys. Plus four grandchildren,� says Kathy with unmasked pride. “We wanted to have a place they could come over and not worry about us. With our villa we have a semi finished basement that our grandkids can play in, lots of walking space around the community with six ponds that we can all enjoy— worry and maintenance free.�

John is as practical as he is sincere. “Our kids have busy, active lives, just like we did when we were their age. They shouldn’t have to come over to our place and do chores.” He smiles self deprecatingly as he continues. “I thought I was too young to have someone take care of my lawn.

In the short time we have been in our villa all that attitude has fallen away. I initially went along with the idea because Kathy suggested it. Now I am sold.”

“‘Future proofing’ your home is a large and growing area of the constructions business,” says Bill McConnell, President of Dunright Building Services. “The goal is to keep people in their homes for as long as they want to stay there.”

McConnell, in the construction business since 1983, always looks for balance. “Obviously you don’t want to turn your home into an institutional facility. Good builders and remodelers can do things that will help greatly to make a home livable and flexible for people as they get older. We can do things in a way that will improve the resale value of your home and ensure that your living arrangements have the flexibility and security needed for you to stay there well into retirement.”

Maintenance Reduction

The single biggest burden for homeowners is routine maintenance.

Afraid of losing everything you’ve saved to the high cost of nursing care?

a stay in your home,” says McConnell. “New windows, besides being a general improvement in any home, are now designed to be easy care. In addition, there are a wide range of gutter covers that are aesthetically appealing but work extremely well.

The goal is to put away the ladders and buckets.”

A rapidly growing area of remodeling is house automation.

“Thermostat controls, lights, security and cameras are all available and most are now wireless,” claims McConnell, “They can be run from your phone. They provide great comfort and sense of security as we travel more in retirement. From a simple phone app we can ‘check in’ on our home from anywhere we have phone service. Lighting can be automated, security can be checked and called in; cameras can be installed to keep watch on the property.”

Finally, our homes can be made over to provide significant longevity as we mature. “One of the main upgrades we do is to remodel to an open floor plan design,” explains McConnell. “We create an open floor plan putting all the essentials on a single floor — laundry, kitchen, bedroom, and living area. We also make modifications to homes in ways that don’t look institutional.

Installing flat bathroom floors and spa upgrades, making easy transitions into the shower. In the kitchen we can remodel with self closing drawers, size appropriate appliances, and even modern dishwashers that pull out like a cabinet instead of the bend over door.”

There are dozens of modifications to our homes that can ensure that we can stay safely and happily in our homes. The most important caveat is to remember that contractors are not all the same. McConnell

recommends that before beginning any work on your home that you ensure that workers are licensed, bonded, and insured. A good contractor is proud of their licensing and their references. They will be more than happy to share all of that information with you. There is even a relatively new licence, CAPS (Certified Aging in Place), an additional layer of certification for builders and contractors.

Option:Go

New construction in planned developments can be enticing.

JP Ankney from Gulfstream Development Communities states “today’s new construction offers people over 50 ountless amenities, including: fitness centers, swimming pools, and clubhouses bustling with activities, interest groups, and fun”.

Communities located in Sylvania and Monclova offer a choice of home size, with lawn care and snow removal taken care of — no need to worry about maintenance.

of living. Others don’t see any value in things like a clubhouse, pool or exercise facility and planned activities.

Once we get that out of the way we have several options.”

Gerig, who has been an area realtor for 16 years, always tries to block out the decision process in convenient chunks. “Some people just want to change homes, usually downsizing and modernizing. Moving from a larger, multi floor single family home to a ranch is a good option once the kids have moved out, while also considering proximity and neighborhood. Besides security and safety, look at places that are closer to the activities and shopping you do on a regular basis. Since we are no longer constrained by our kids needs, like schools, we can look to our own needs, including churches, work out facilities, the library and social activities.”

To be free from the responsibility and maintenance of a single family home, a qualified realtor can be a guide through the process. “There are several options if you decide to move into a multi housing area.” The first decision, according to Gerig, is to choose between a villa and a condo.

“In a condo you own everything from the walls in,” explains Gerig. “In a villa you own the ground that the living space sits on, which gives you some options for exterior landscaping.”

Regardless, there are association fees. “Association dues or fees will vary with each planned community, each type of unit and what they include. A realtor can help investigate and walk a buyer through all of these decisions,” says Gerig. “Common area maintenance, like snow removal, is a great upside, especially if you intend to travel or be gone for extended periods of time.” Gerig also recommends a second, experienced eye when looking for a new place to settle into as we mature. “While we may not be having any mobility problems, our friends will be getting older as well. Looking for accessibility issues like parking, wider doorways and hallways, and steps to navigate are all things that, even if we don’t need those options, our friends may appreciate.”

Finance Financing Construction Costs and Home Modifications Use Prudent Measures

by Michael Siebenaler

Construction costs for adjustments and repairs can often cause financial tensions without careful planning and helpful resources. Adjustments and repairs often involve physical modifications for changing needs including installing walk-in bathtubs, smoothing floor surfaces or changing water faucet handles to easy-to-use fixtures and pull out shelving. Be sure when you’re making the modifications to use a licensed, bonded, and insured contractor. But first you have to plan where will the money come from? Loan? Savings? Retirement plan (e.g. 401K)? We got the facts with some insight from Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, Inc. and PNC Bank.

Gov’t Loans and Grants

Government organizations like Veterans Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Rural Repair and Rehabilitation) offer competitive loans. HUD provides grants for home repairs each year by giving money to states and local agencies including local Area Agencies on Aging. These agencies help senior citizens with a variety of needs including home repair, often for free. Awards depend on the applicant’s income and some are free while others are charged on a sliding scale. The Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, Inc. serves ten NW Ohio counties. “We offer several home repair programs,” says Justin Moor, vice president of communications at the agency areaofficeonaging. com 419-382-0624. “These programs are worth trying first before using savings, a 401k/retirement account or reverse mortgage/loan.”

With a few special exceptions (e.g. assistive technology devices), Medicare and most other private insurance typically do not pay for the cost of home modifications. Free labor requires pay back of the materials as the personnel resources typically comes from non-profit organizations or charities like Habitat

February 2017

for Humanity, Rebuilding Together and NeighborWorks. Grants must be used for the modification purpose, which might require confirmation/proof, and do not need to be paid back. The LowIncome Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a good example of a grant that can help pay utilities when making energy saving modifications.

Commercial LendingOptions

Reverse mortgages are a possibility only with residents living in the home for a number of years. See www.ncoa. org/economic-security/home-equity/ reverse-mortgages/ for more information. Homeowners with equity might want a low interest Home Equity Line of Credit. “A lump sum loan is a one-time, closed-end loan that usually has a fixed interest rate while a line of credit lets you withdraw the funds any time and usually has adjustable interest rates,” says PNC Loan Officer Joshua Harrison. “It’s important to try for a loan on a nationwide, state and/or county level (visit www.usa.gov/statetribal-governments) as well as a type that has the lowest possible interest rate for older adults.”

Community Development Financial Institutions can also provide financial help. The Heritage Home Program (www.heritagehomeprogram. org/loans/loans.php) uses a partnership with KeyBank for loans. You can also contact your banker for information on applications independent special needs assistance. Whatever your choice, be sure to confirm the qualifications of any lenders with The Ohio Department of Commerce at 1-866-278-0003.

Home construction or modification costs may be expensive but before you deplete your savings or take out a costly loan, consider the tips above - your home sweet home can always offer you the mobility and comfort you need.

Health

Other Strategies to maintain your Dental Health according to the Centers for Disease Control

Dental Health As We Get Older Please Brush and Floss

by Stephen Roberts PhD According to former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, a large percentage of people 65 and older retain their teeth, but approximately 1 in 4 seniors have periodontal disease. Seniors 65 and older are seven times more likely to have oral cancer than younger people.

To keep your teeth healthy, it is recommended that you visit your dentist on a regular basis. Based on that guidance, I recently went to my dentist, Dr. William Garber on Talmadge and Laskey, to get my biannual cleaning and checkup. While it’s supposed to be biannual, somehow it seems to stretch out into eight or 10 months between visits, reflecting my less than enthusiastic desire to have a very nice, friendly, charming and professional dental hygienist work on my mouth.

Am I the only one with this issue?

Obviously I know check-ups and cleaning are very important. We need to take care of our teeth just as we try to take care of the rest of our health.

Unfortunately, seniors are less likely to go to the dentist due to a lack of income and dental coverage. Only 45 % of seniors 75 and older report going to the dentist in the past year as compared to 60% of the younger population.

Important Dental Issues

After the cleaning, my dentist and I talked about what he felt were the most important issues for older people’s dental health. Dr. Garber explained that root exposure is very important. As we get older, our gums recede leaving our roots exposed and less protected. Our teeth have enamel to protect them – our roots do not.

This situation allows the ravages of bacteria to attack the roots, which are more vulnerable than our enamel covered teeth.

 Drink fluoridated water and use fluoride toothpaste.  Brush and floss carefully  Do not use tobacco products  Drink moderately since drinking high rates of alcohol, especially when mixed with tobacco, increases the risk for oral and throat cancers  Get dental care before cancer chemotherapy or radiation to the head or neck since these procedures can damage a lot of dental areas.  If you are caregiver work to help elders with oral hygiene.

Gums recede due to tobacco use, periodontal disease, overly aggressive tooth brushing and inadequate flossing and brushing. Going to the dentist for scheduled cleanings can help with this issue.

Another point of concern for Dr. Garber is that, as we get older, we may be prescribed medications for other ailments that reduce the amount of saliva we produce. Saliva contains substances such as calcium and phosphate that neutralize the acid that is produced by bacteria in our mouth.

This acid attacks the teeth and can eventually lead to decay.

Some of the drugs that tend to dry the mouth and cut down on the presence of saliva include antihistamines, beta blockers, opioids, insulin and nicotine. If you have a dry mouth, drink lots of water, ask if your drugs can be changed, chew sugarless gum and eat food that requires chewing.

As we age we must be mindful of caring for our teeth. After all they they have taken care of us.

Good News - Baby Boomers Less Likely to Have Strokes

According to Joel N. Swerdel, a Ph.D. candidate at the Rutgers University School of Public Health, over the past 20 years, the rate of stroke more than doubled in those 35-39, doubled in those 40-44 and increased in people 45 to 54 years. The rate of stroke declined in those 55 and older.

Mr. Swerdel warns that people under 50 need to be aware of this increased stroke risk for young adults, as the outcomes of a stroke can be more destructive than a heart attack. sph.rutgers.edu

Dini ng out M Osteria Bridges Great Food With Old World Aesthetics Pat Giammarco’s Italian eatery is truly one-of-a-kind

By Jeff Klima Pat Giammarco has created an amazing fusion of food and atmosphere in downtown Toledo. Like a proud parent, Giammarco steers me around his restaurant, first showing off the gleaming, immaculate-looking steel surfaces on which his artisan pizzas are crafted, then it’s down into the depths of the restaurant’s interior to check out the bread and pastas being hand-rolled from scratch. “We’re a scratch restaurant,” his right hand man and executive chef, JT, assured me. “Everything is made from scratch. Everything is as local as possible.” Giammarco disappears from the interview time and time again to make sure every detail of the evening is perfect for his many guests and diners, and it’s still early on a typical Friday night. He’s apologetic each time he dashes away, and sends his staff over to make sure I am being cared for. It’s exciting to see someone who cares so much about the quality of his restaurant’s appeal.

From Italy via Detroit

High-energy and good-natured, Giammarco is an Italian immigrant whose parents settled in Detroit when he was 10. With a hearty handshake and quick with a sly wink to reward astute observations, the owner makes you feel like a best friend within moments of meeting him. “I don’t want to say anything negative, but we think we’re the best Italian restaurant in the area,” Giammarco said simply. Reinventing great Italian food in Toledo, the gregarious impresario is also determined to focus the interview on what M Osteria is achieving and not worry so much about his other business dealings. Of course, you can’t exactly mention the Giammarco name without bringing up that his nationwide chain, Marco’s Pizza, is one of the most successful businesses to emerge from the Glass City. And though pizza is on the menu at both, the difference between running the two entities, Giammarco said, is “the difference between speaking English and Chinese.”

M Osteria’s Tortellini Pasta:

Owner, Pat Giammarco with head chef JT.

The best thing on the menu

I get down to brass tacks when I first meet JT, who is responsible for much of the eatery’s inspired menu, asking him what most folks order when they stop in. “The best thing on the menu is our tortellini,” he assures me without having to put much thought into the matter. “We do a five-hour braised brisket, let it sit overnight, after it comes out of the oven, pull it all and roll in our house-made ricotta, our house-made créme fraîsch, a little parmesan, house-made veal demi, roll all that together and then hand roll tortellinis stuffed with the mixture.”

If that sounds delicious, I promise it’s even better than that. “We try and change up the menu, but our customers won’t let us get rid of it,” JT said, with a proud papa shrug of his own.

That doesn’t mean ignore the rest of the menu though, which features salads, antipasti, paninis and plenty of classic Italian options with a haute flair.

Everything looks good as the servers bring out plate after plate with generous portions of high-quality, fresh food. Giammarco and JT explain that the menu changes every three-four months, seasonally and there’s always something new to try.

If you find yourself without a conversation to engage in, spend some quiet moments taking in the beautiful stylings of the 140-year-old building. Totally restored and brought up to code, the ambiance of the restaurant mimics its food: a fresh and exciting new take on an old idea. The exterior wall features a mural showcasing a cathedral and canal of Venice, put up by the Toledo Museum of Art to highlight one of the paintings in its exhibit. It’s a sort of “mood advertising,” that adds a splash of authentico and romance to M Osteria’s location.

With close access to plenty of Toledo’s biggest attractions including the Huntington Center and Hensville, delicious food for most budgets and a convenient parking lot right next door, M Osteria should be one of your go-to downtown dining experiences.

(serves six)

For the pasta (do not sub stitute dried lasagna, use fresh dough) 240g All Purpose Flour (approx. 3.0 cups) 12g Salt (approx. 2½ Tsp .)

12g Olive Oil (approx. 2½ Tsp. ) 180g Whole Eggs (aproo x 3 Wh

240g (approx 13 Egg Yol ks)

ole Eggs)

Blend the flour and salt together by hand.

Slowly add other ingred ients until a dough is formed.

Beef Tortellini Filling: 2lbs. Braised Beef 1 ½ cups Ricotta ¼ cup créme fraîche ¼ cup veal demi glace ¼ cup fine herb Salt, pepper and cham pagne vinegar to taste.

11:30am-11pm, Monday through Friday, 611 Monroe St. 419-214-4222. mosteriatoledo.com

One-of-a-kind

Naturally, the question arises if M Osteria and Bar will become a chain like Marco’s, as clearly Giammarco has a knack for duplicating success. The restaurant, since opening in 2015, has quickly become a mainstay of the downtown food and art culture scene and would probably take off in any other location it tried. But that’s not going to happen. “This is it.

One great location. If you want to eat at M Osteria, you’re gonna have to come to Toledo, Ohio,” Giammarco confirms.

PHOTOS BY MICHAEL NEMETH

A Gourmet Setting This month, on page 8, we talk about making a house more liveable as one ages. Dan Kory and Elaine Canning loved their Holland home, but after 18 years, it needed an update. Since Elaine is known as quite a chef, the remodel focused on their kitchen, and what a kitchen it is.

Contemporary, modern and sleek, the gray and white room has all the latest in cooking and design updates as well as spacious sitting areas for dining around the island that seats eight or at a table for ten. Their appliances offer the best options for cooking for two or eighty. This is the heart of their home and party central when guests come over.

With the kitchen finished, they added design touches to other rooms in the house with new flooring, paint and furniture. They continued using the same color scheme but added eclectic touches in the dining area and the great room. Bright colors in artwork and accessories finished the home to perfection.

These impressive updates give the home a different and updated persona — just as the owners desired.

Help Available to Cover Heating Costs

Now is the time eligible persons can receive $175 to help with their heating bill costs through the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP).

Single-member households with an income of $20,790 or less and two-person households with an income of $28,035 are eligible to apply.

Applications for this heating assistance are available by contacting the Area Office on Aging at 419-382-0624.

Many people who are eligible for HEAP are also eligible for another program to help stay warm. By checking a box on the HEAP application, people can get information about the Home Weatherization Assistance Program to make their home more energy efficient to further reduce heating costs.

Many of those who stay warm with these programs are also eligible for a help saving money on their prescriptions. More than 800 northwest Ohioans age 65 and over with limited incomes saved an average of $4,000 a year on their prescriptions, totaling $3.2 million in prescription savings thanks to the Area Office

on Aging enrolling them in a prescription savings program. “If it weren’t for the money the Area Office on Aging helped me save on my prescriptions, I would be choosing between either being able to pay for my prescriptions or pay for food,” said Edie Timblin.

Area Office on Aging Connects Family Caregivers with Trained Volunteers The Area Office on Aging’s Caregiver Volunteer Respite Program helps family members caring for frail, aging loved ones alleviate stress by providing them a temporary break. Each week, a Retired Senior Volunteer Program member visits with the aging loved one at home for two to four hours so the caregiver has some time off. The new relationships formed benefit the volunteer and care recipient at the

same time that the caregiver gets a much-needed break.

Family caregiver, Pam Braden, said, “With a volunteer coming and giving me a break from my caregiving role has helped me alleviate some stress.

When I come back to my caregiving role, I am refreshed. My mother enjoys the opportunity to visit with a new caring friend.”

For those family caregivers who are in need of a break, contact the Area Office on Aging at 419-382-0624 to find out more information about getting a temporary break. For those who are interested in volunteering to visit with a family caregiver’s aging loved one so the caregiver can get a break, contact the Area Office on Aging at 419-382-0624 for more information on the upcoming volunteer training.
