hat do you think of when someone mentions “The Big Easy?” When I think of New Orleans, a flood of emotions, sounds, and smells fill my memory. From the incredible jazz music that fills your soul and

If you’ve never been to New Orleans before, there are a few things that may make you wonder if you’re still in the United States, or if maybe you have been transported to some far-off land. For instance, everyone speaks English, or at least you think so. But mixed in with the basic combina-

makes you feel like you just woke up for the first time in years, to the aroma of fresh beignets with powdered sugar and chicory coffee from the historic Café du Monde, or smells of fresh hot gumbo and jambalaya from locally sourced ingredients cooked from recipes passed down over years of perfection. I cannot help but to smile with delight when I think of the Big Easy—NOLA!

tion of English words that create a sentence, one will find a slew of mixed dialects. You see, on the bayou there is a strong use of Creole. New Orleans was a big gumbo style melting pot of its own. The history of this city, and the entire state of Louisiana, has great influence from France, Spain, and the Caribbean. Descendants of these settlers, slaves, and the natives have planted roots in New Orleans and are known as Creole,

By Amanda M. Vallone and they speak a combination of this dialect and English. Reading and understanding some of their words is really half the fun as a visitor. Some words to know before you go: • Bayou (by' you) - Slow stream, or body of water running through a marsh or swamp. • Beignet (ben yay) - A deep fried pastry made from choux dough. Similar to a fritter or doughnut. • Cajun (kay' jun) - French Acadians who settled in NOLA after immigrating from Canada. • Creole (cree' ole) - Descendants of French, Spanish, and Caribbean slaves and natives; has also come to mean any person whose ancestry derives from the Caribbean's mixed nationalities. • Laissez les bons temps rouler (Lazay Lay Bon Tom Roulay) - “Let the good times roll.” So, after you take a bit of the local language lesson, it would be good to know why this city has so many names. New Orleans, Louisiana is commonly referred to as NOLA, the Big Easy, the “birthplace of jazz,” Mardi Gras City, |6|

Crescent City, City that Care Forgot, and N’awlins. The Big Easy became the oﬃcial name of this great city because it has not only weathered storms, disease, wars, and the most epic hurricanes of our memory, but also because the people who weathered those conditions always seem to have something to celebrate. NOLA is always letting the good times roll and having a party. From Mardi Gras to holidays, there is always something exciting and merry going on in the Big Easy. This year I am leading a group trip to New Orleans, one of the most unique and culturally diverse places to visit for a city spotlight tour. We’ll have historic tours, free time, enjoy a delicious cooking class and great eats! I would love for you to join me! We even decided to go in early

December so that we’ll not only be able to get into the holiday spirit, we’ll get to celebrate the NOLA way at a very special time of year. So, let’s all go down to the Bayou and laissez les bon temps rouler!

LEGACY

Thriving After War: A POW Embraces Life

he United States of America is losing World War II heroes at an astonishing rate. Every day, 372 WWII veterans die, and fewer than 560,000 of the 16 million who fought are still with us.

We are a fortunate country to have the opportunity to serve our veterans, but many of these men and women return from war to simply live. Thriving after war is another story altogether. To thrive is to prosper and flourish; to grow vigorously. To live may simply be equal to a beating heart. Retired U.S. Navy Chief Hospital Marine Corpsman and WWII Prisoner of War John Unger has accomplished both, and in the meantime, has created a legacy of humility, calm, a sense of humor and family.

An Eager Volunteer Born in Austria in 1920, John immigrated with his family to the U.S. in 1931. He eagerly enlisted in the Navy in 1939 in Missouri. “As a teenager I found myself looking for something to do, so I took a test, passed it, and the next thing you know I served 20 years in the U.S. Navy,” said John. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in San Diego and was trained at the U.S. Naval Hospital Corps School San Diego, California. Within a year had earned Hospital Apprentice First Class. During his service, he wore Navy and Marine uniforms, serving both branches simultaneously at times. A couple years in, he was stationed at Pearl Harbor when an opportunity arose to serve in Wake Island. “I volunteered to go to Wake Island because, at the time, I was living in Pearl Harbor and it was costing a little extra,” he said. “I figured I could probably save some money. I’d do my six months and come back.” Wake Island is in the western Pacific Ocean and is part of a small coral atoll – a ring-shaped island that’s surrounded by a lagoon – with a land area of only 2.5 miles. It sits west of Hawaii and nearly 600 miles from the nearest inhabited island. It’s been long used by U.S. military forces as an air base ideal for refueling. John was about to begin his service with the Marines of the First Defense Battalion on Wake Island when he realized his voluntary assignment there wasn’t what he expected, and wouldn’t be only 6 months long, either.

MAY 2018 | ONE-STOP Senior Care | Aging Tree.com • 866-320-8803

By Vickie Pleus, APR, CPRC The Alamo of the Paciﬁc The Japanese sought control of Wake Island four days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. John had been on the island for mere weeks when the Japanese attacked it the first time, unsuccessfully. He still recalls dodging bullets and jumping into bunkers. Months later, the Japanese returned to Wake Island with a vengeance and overwhelmed the less than 500 U.S. Marines and 70 sailors. This attack would become known as “The Alamo of the Pacific.” Upon capture, all but 98 of the 1,100 civilian workers and all military personnel stationed on Wake Island were transported to Japanese-run prison camps in China. Unger was one of them. He would spend the next 44 months in two Japanese camps, including Shanghai War Prisoners Camp in Kaiwgwan Shanghai. The 98 civilian prisoners who remained on the island were executed two years later by Rear Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara in response to a Navy raid on the island. The massacre continues to be one of the most brutal episodes of the war in the Pacific. John said that in the Japanese POW camps in China, daily beatings and impossibly small meals were the norm. The history books say prisoners there lived on 600 calories a day. John remembered how the situation was harder on the civilian prisoners than the soldiers. cont. pg 10

“Most of us (soldiers) were pretty young, but the civilian workers were older people. They suffered quite a bit; they had a lot of problems,” he said. During capture, John was a Pharmacist's Mate Third Class. He knew German, which helped him in his relationships with his captors. And, they valued his medical skills. Even today, John says the Japanese were good to him. A Surprise Surrender John’s POW experience ended on Sept. 4, 1945, after Japan surrendered and their troops at Wake Island lowered their flags. “You would have expected (us to be) cheering or something; but we were all dumbfounded, I guess,” he said. As the flags lowered, John knew he could begin raising his family. His last reported day as a POW was October 16, 1945. While his fellow soldiers rushed onto trains and planes bound for America, John remained behind. “I was about to get on the train when I doubled over with appendicitis,” he recalled. “All the others went home by plane, but I went home by hospital ship.” As soon has he was well enough to be out of the bed, the Navy put him back to work on the ship that

was transporting him home. After all, he was still an enlisted soldier – appendectomy or not! One Wife, Multiple Weddings It was a chance meeting at a hospital in California that brought private John Unger eye to eye with the love of his life, Alice, during his several first months of service. She had visited the hospital in which he was working. “I saw this lady with nice hair and she looked really good,” he remembered, as love crept in his soft voice. “So, I got her address and I visited her.” After a short courtship, they eloped to Tijuana. It was the first of three times they’d “marry.” The exchanged vows off the coast of Mexico after Wake Island, and later still in the Catholic Church, receiving the sacrament that was so important to them. John wrote to his beloved Alice constantly during his imprisonment in China, though he never knew if she’d received any of his correspondence. The Marines’ short-wave radios communicated back home the names of servicemen still alive, and Alice knew John remained among the living, at least, but it would be years before he learned the fate of his unborn child. “We were really only allowed to write, ‘Having a great time! Wish

you were here!’ – those kinds of things,” said John. “If you wrote anything else they would tear it up. “Some of the ladies got remarried, because we were all supposed to be dead,” said John, adding that he didn’t worry about Alice remarrying because, he joked, he left her “barefoot and pregnant.” It would be two years before he received one of Alice’s letters. That’s when he learned the baby was a boy named John. In No Hurry to Leave John continued his post-war Naval career in California. “I got really good treatment after the war, everybody was really nice,” remembered John. “I had bitterness in the beginning, but you realize war is war.” But, the Korean War loomed. In no time, John was asked to return to Japan. Even easygoing John wasn’t ready for that quite yet. “I said: I’m not going. But, in the service, you do what you’re told,” he said. After six months in Japan, he returned to the states again. This time, for good. John retired from the U.S. Navy after 20 years of honorable service, during which time he received a Unit Citation from President Roosevelt. Serving as a medical specialist of various ranks throughout his tenure in the Navy, he retired as Chief Hospital Corpsman.

Duty to Country, to Family Upon reuniting with his family after Wake Island, John faced additional challenges: His wife’s sister’s family was in crisis. He received a frightening phone call from his niece that her mother had overdosed and John’s 6-year-old nephew, Brian, had ingested the drugs, too. John immediately drove to their home to rescue Brian. “Brian didn’t look right, so I threw him in the car. I called the dispensary on the way there to get help,” he said. “When we got there, the medical staff said they couldn’t do anything until the doctor arrived. I said, ‘I’m not waiting for no doctor!’ So, the doctor came in and finished the job. Sure enough, we got it in time. In a couple days, Brian was back to normal.” John adopted Brian and he’s been his beloved second son ever since. From Alive to Thrive: What Makes the Man Humility, modesty, a positive attitude, a grounding faith and an easygoing nature have proven to be a formula for a thriving life for John Unger, who’s now 97 and recently relocated from California to Palm Coast. “The service here is great; I think this is where I’ll stay a while,” he said about his new home. John doesn’t think much about how others take his stories of heroism, camp imprisonment, his witnessing of wartime medical trauma, losing comrades in the Pacific battles of WWII, and saving his son’s life. He doesn’t consider himself a hero. “He’s modest, and when he would speak to me about war when I was young, he always was lighthearted about telling his stories,” said Brian Patrick, John’s grandson. “The lessons he’s shared are about patience and listening. He’s calm

and has the patience of a saint. He’s also taught us respect and understanding. When we say today that we’re ‘having a bad day,’ think of what it was like to be a POW for 44 months. It gives us perspective.” “I tell him how fascinating he is, but he’s so humble,” said Susan, his part-time caretaker. “He’s so easygoing and laid back. He’s in the history books kids are reading today. There are not a lot of people around that we can ask questions of. You’d never know he’s 97, that’s for sure. I just find it incredible.” John’s given speeches about his experiences several times, and a writer included his story in a book. You’ll find John’s chapter in “Voices of the Pacific War: Bluejackets Remember” by Bruce M. Petty. These are some ways John has influenced those who love him. But what does John consider his legacy to be? His legacy is his family.

MAY 2018 | ONE-STOP Senior Care | Aging Tree.com • 866-320-8803

“I think it’s amazing that he is able to be a part of his great grandchildren’s lives; the fourth great-grandchild is due soon,” said Brian Patrick. “I’ve had the privilege of growing up with my grandparents. The influence they have had on this family is immeasurable.” “Overall, (the Navy) was a good life,” said John. “My family says I’ve lived my life okay, and that’s the main thing.”

“Worries” of Older Americans By Cheree M. Albert MSN, ARNP, CPNP

Part 2: Cutting Costs, Staying in Your Own Home, Sudden Bills and Financial Security

et's address 4 more issues on the Top 10 “Worries” of Older Americans: Cutting Costs, Staying in Your Own Home, Sudden Bills and Financial Security. As a nation we are getting older! Data from the US Census Bureau notes that the population is expected to become much older, with nearly one in five U.S. residents aged 65 and older in 2030. What is significant for our discussion here is that the number of people in the oldest old age group is projected to grow from 5.8 million in 2010 to 8.7 million in 2030 and projected to reach 19 million in 2050. This changing age structure of the population will have an impact on families, communities and society as whole. On a more personal level it begs the questions: Will I be able to stay in my home? How will I handle sudden bills on a fixed income? Will I run out of money? Living more frugally can be done in any income bracket and can provide greater control over how you spend your time. Cutting costs is not a one-size-fits-all conversation though many strategies apply to all of us. Much is written about how to cut costs and here is a Top 20 list of tips that can help make it happen: 1. Know what you spend every dollar of your money on

2. Eliminate unnecessary routine expenses 3. Be truly mindful about where you are spending your money 4. Reduce debt 5. Calculate monthly AND yearly expenses 6. Invest in staying healthy; More fruits and vegetables, movement and sleep, stress less 7. Eliminate budget busting vices 8. Avoid retirement penalties; know important deadlines 9. Consider doing home maintenance/repairs yourself or barter 10. Negotiate/avoid fees for banking and investment services 11. Eliminate or reduce your mortgage; consider right sizing, lower cost of living 12. Evaluate electric and gas utilities; thermostat settings 13. Evaluate water usage and opportunities to cut cost; no partial loads 14. Do an insurance review of your health, auto and homeowner’s policies 15. Determine phone and media needs vs wants 16. Alternatives to car ownership? 17. Get senior discounts; Travel off peak season; Group travel 18. Make “living the more frugal life” your hobby 19. Explore opportunities for free entertainment ex. public library, local events

20. Plug into a retirement budget calculator to be able to see your results I spoke with Todd Myers, at Mutual of Omaha and he shared that “running out of money is the greatest fear” he often hears from his clients. Throughout our conversation I was reminded of the quote often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, “Failing to plan is planning to fail”. I felt a call to action as he shared the stories of not planning for long term care, for example. Todd noted the importance of being in the business of listening. He shared several strategies to address common concerns to create a plan that would guarantee income in the later years. When asked “Who would be an ideal candidate and ideal timing to have these conversations he replied, “Bottomline is getting to help sooner, a plan in place sooner”. Ideally these conversations will have been started prior to the 3rd decade so that a plan can be in place by age 59½. “Retirement is about retirement, not about figuring out how to put a new roof on or how to buy a new car”. Where will you be living as time goes by? With choices that range from independent or retirement living to assisted living, continuing care, nursing home care and more what factors will need to be addressed to make the decision? With a multitude of options, which of these will even be possible?

cont. pg 13 | 12 |

Staying in your own home, a.k.a. aging in place, is often the desired option. The opportunity to do this requires a safe environment to minimize falls and injury and the ability to make structural changes to navigate the layout with mobility equipment as needed. Aging in place also requires the ability to manage activities of daily living; personal care, shopping, cooking, cleaning and pet care. When assistance is needed a home care assistant or in-home companion that is not medically based may be an option to assist with purchasing and preparation of healthy, well-balanced meals, assistance with personal hygiene, driving, cleaning, medication scheduling and more. Though they do not provide medical care these professional, licensed and insured individuals greatly contribute to the health and wellbeing of seniors and their families. When specialized home medical equipment and supplies are required an investment in the planning, environment and education to support an optimal level of health, comfort, and safety is essential. Home health care is often indicated when specialized equipment is needed for seniors with advanced medical issues, trouble breathing, little to no mobility, or pre-diagnosed medical disorders. Home Health Care is advanced care within the home provided by licensed medical professionals. It is conducted by home health aides and home healthcare nurses, sometimes one of each, who have the required medi-

cal abilities and equipment knowledge. Oftentimes when discharged from the hospital or after a temporary stay in a rehabilitation facility or nursing home, you are eligible for home health care assistance paid for by Medicare. If you decide on home health care for a loved one, with or without a physician’s order, be sure to check your options regarding insurance for both short and long-term care. Private home care is typically not covered by Medicaid or insurance. When staying in the home is the goal, how do you truly know what will be the safest and most logical approach in the event care needs change? Will in home assistance or out of the home care be the best option? Can you afford it? Can you afford not to? Every situation is unique and there are a variety of resources available to help us come to the best solution for our individual situation. My interview with Florida Reverse Mortgage Specialist, John Reardon, provided a wealth of information about the Reverse Mortgage option that allows a homeowner, age 62 and older, to borrow money from their home. You may even be able to borrow enough money to pay off the existing mortgage on your home resulting in a significant monthly budget savings. This type of loan product could be a good financial choice to support staying in your own home. John shared the challenges of living on a fixed income and described a few needs the reverse mortgage

Stroke rehabilitation consists of a coordinated treatment plan developed and implemented by specialized physicians, therapists and nurses. Stroke rehabilitation programs, like that of HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Altamonte Springs, help patients adjust to the emotional and physical changes following stroke. With the goal of returning patients to independent living, therapy teams work to retrain the ability to perform daily tasks and move safely at home and in the community. For more information or to schedule a stroke-risk assessment, call HealthSouth Altamonte Springs at 407 587-8600 or visit healthsouthaltamontesprings.com.

INSIDE ADVISOR Legal Your Spouse Needs a Nursing Home – Avoid this Planning Pitfall It happens a lot. One spouse goes to the nursing home and is eligible for Medicaid. So, the family doesn’t do any post-death asset protection planning. But what happens if the “well-spouse” dies first. Well, it’s a nightmare because the well-spouse's death may make the spouse in the nursing home ineligible for Medicaid. As a result, Medicaid Planning must consider the possibility that the well-spouse may pass away first. This is because a married couple with one spouse in the nursing home can have about $126,000 of com-

bined countable assets, while an unmarried nursing home resident can have only $2,000 of countable assets. And you probably can’t disinherit the ill spouse, because except in rare instances, Florida requires that a surviving spouse receive at least 30% of the deceased spouse’s assets. And if the ill spouse refuses the inheritance, they will likely be disqualified from receiving Medicaid for a period. To avoid this trap and ensure that the widowed nursing home resident has substantially more than $2,000.00 without disqualifying them from Medicaid, thoughtful estate or government benefits planning must occur; the wellspouse needs a plan that leaves at least 30% of her/his assets to a

“Special Needs Trust.” This strategy works because assets owned by a properly drafted Special Needs Trust cannot be counted against the surviving spouse’s Medicaid Eligibility. When anyone with significantly declining health or age 70+ is considering their post-death planning, they should talk to an estate planning attorney who has experience with long-term care asset protection strategies.

Bath Safety Keeps You Home! Bath safety items include: bath chairs, transfer benches hand held showers, mats, grab bars, raised toilet seats and toilet safety frames. These prevent many people each year from taking a fall in the bathroom and saves millions of dollars in health care costs, unfortunately Medicare doesn't cover these products. Most bath chairs are adjustable in height and there are models with arms for extra support. The height adjustment can make it easier to sit and rise. A transfer bench is similar to a bath chair but has a section on the outside of the bath tub, so a person can sit down and slide without being able to walk into the shower or bath tub. Hand held showers allow control of the shower from

a sitting position which is safer because a person doesn't need to stand to use it. Bath mats provide a non-slip surface to stand on and grab bars can be mounted in most baths or showers. The bars come in different lengths of 12,18,24 and 32 inches, these are mounted into studs and should be installed by someone who knows how to work with ceramic tile. Grab bars give a person something to hold onto in the bath or shower. Raised toilet seats can enable a person to sit and rise from a taller seat that mounts onto a commode. There are some with arms and can fit a standard and some fit an elongated commode. The toilet safety frame mounts onto a commode and has two bars or handles for a person

By Scott Guimond & Pat Garrett to use to rise or sit. Finding the product or service that makes your life easier is not complicated. The staff at HealthMed Solutions are able to help you with any questions about equipment selection and aids to daily living. Located inside Aging Tree, HealthMed Solutions has many of the products we discussed and the knowledge to recommend solutions to your safety concerns.

VITAS Healthcare

Seeking Volunteers Both Strong and Tender VITAS Volunteer Manager Jacqueline Rivera is looking for a few good seniors to be hospice volunteers. Don’t read anything into that, because millennials and military veterans are on Rivera’s wish list, too. Identifying good volunteer prospects has nothing to do with demographics, she laughs, and everything to do with finding souls who are compassionate and unfazed by death and dying. “Every single volunteer is a little different,” observes Rivera, who recruits and oversees volunteer hospice workers for VITAS in Volusia and Flagler counties. “But the commonality I see is that they all have giving

hearts, along with the strength to be around terminally-ill people approaching the ends of their lives.” Rivera currently has 55 volunteers working in the two counties and is looking for more. Volunteers take on a wide range of responsibilities at VITAS, to include going on walks with hospice patients, reading to them and engaging in emotionally sustaining conversations. There’s also VITAS Paw–Pals®, a group of well-behaved pets and their owners who visit patients. A typical VITAS volunteer works four hours a month. Each goes through a training class, is fingerprinted and undergoes

a background check before interacting with patients. Rivera says VITAS volunteers also need patience, because on any given day “you have no idea if a patient is going to be sleeping, or if they’re having a good day or not.” Aging Tree readers wanting information about volunteer work proven to enhance the lives of hospice patients can contact Jacqueline Rivera at 386.366.6123. VITAS Healthcare is the nation’s largest provider of hospice solutions. For more information, go to VITAS. com or contact us at 866-759-6695.

Hospice begins with a conversation There is so much to talk about, so much to learn. What would you want at the end of life? What do the people you love want? It’s never too soon to talk about comfort, peace, dignity—hospice.

Many individuals often need help understanding the facts about hospice. In fact, many people are confused about what hospice is and how to make the most of all it has to offer.

Filled with conversation topics, our free downloadable guide addresses hospice issues. It’s a structured way to help make informed decisions about end-of-life care—and make a difficult conversation easier on everyone. Take the first step: Download “Considering Hospice Care:

Vision Health

Upper Eyelid Surgery As an Eyelid and Facial Plastic Surgeon, one of the most common things I see patients for are problems concerning their upper eyelids. People will frequently come in complaining that their eyelids are blocking their vision, or that they just do not like the way they look. The most common problem or complaint is that there is excess skin or fat on the upper eyelids. This skin can hang down blocking the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision and also be a cosmetic concern. Often when the patient notes that the excess eyelid skin is affecting their vision, their insurance can cover the procedure, if certain criteria

are met. Typically, upper eyelid skin removal, or blepharoplasty, involves using mild sedation with local anesthetic. A small incision is made in the eyelid crease (eyelid fold) and the appropriate amount of skin is removed. Another very common upper eyelid issue that we see is ptosis, or droopy eyelids. Patients often notice their lids blocking their vision and appearing sleepy. In these cases, rather than just needing skin removed, they also need the muscle that opens the eyelid tightened. Similar to a blepharoplasty, insurance can also cover the procedure if certain criteria are met.

Robert Cordero, M.D.

Kevin M. Barber, M.D.

Ryan T. Scruggs, M.D.

By Ryan T. Scruggs, M.D.

With both procedures, the incision is closed with absorbable sutures that does not need to be removed. Recovery typically involves no heavy lifting or bending for 3 days, ice packs for the first 2 days, and bruising for about 1-2 weeks. Determining which procedure is right for you requires a careful evaluation.

Stem Cell History

INSIDE ADVISOR

Stem Cells: Building blocks of the body

When a human embryo is less than 4 days old, it's cells are called totipotent stem cells. This early stage within the life of a stem cell cycle is called totipotent because each of the stem cells at this stage have total potential to form a human being if they were separated and implanted individually into a woman’s uterus. This is the power of stem cells and why research in this area holds great promise in treating degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis and in cosmetic procedures like “vampire facials”. Harnessing our stem cells holds the key to improving the way we heal.

As they continue to develop, undergoing mitosis (replicating) and specialization, they become pluripotent stem cells. They’re able to make cells from all three basic body layers, so they can potentially produce any cell or tissue the body needs to repair itself. Embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent. After the embryo implants into the wall of the uterus, the cells continue to develop and specialize into multipotent stem cells. Multipotent cells can develop into more than one cell type, but are more limited than pluripotent cells; adult stem cells, like those found in amniotic tissues,

By Andrew J. Gleason, BSN, CCRN, NP-S. Marketing Director amniotic fluid and cord blood are considered multipotent stem cells.

Safe, Effective, Painless Solution to Erectile Dysfunction. The Doctors at Alpha Medical Group Offer a Safe, Effective, Painless Solution to Erectile Dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction (ED) can interfere significantly with a couple’s intimacy—not to mention the toll it takes on a man’s mental and emotional health. Until now, men have had few options that work well, and many of those options can be painful. A medical breakthrough, The SwissWave Protocol at Alpha Medical Group, has proven to be the holy grail of ED treatment: a painless, no-needle procedure that actually works. The SwissWave Protocol uses electromagnetic acoustical pulsed energy waves to open existing blood vessels, grow new blood vessels, and stimulate the growth of new erectile tissue in the penis. The FDA registered device for the treatment of soft tissue repair was

developed in Switzerland and is widely used throughout Europe and Canada.

Essentially, it allows sound waves to fix the physical problem. Sound too good to be true? It’s not. The huge stack of scientific studies backing the innovation all agree: it works. A double-blind study pub-

lished in the journal, Therapeutic Advances in Urology, found that wave therapy delivered a significant clinical improvement of erectile function without any adverse effects. An article in Urology Times, an important resource for urologists, concluded that wave therapy has been tested extensively through randomized, placebo-controlled, and open-label studies in clinics worldwide. It concluded that the technology had demonstrated “impressive eﬃcacy and safety.” Unfortunately, it’s estimated that one in four men over 35 have had issues with ED—and the percentage rises quickly as men age, with the vast majority experiencing such issues by the time they’re seniors. Most men turn to pills at the first sign of ED. Despite what the commercials would have you believe, they don’t work for a sig-

nificant number of men who have ED problems and eventually stop working in those who have initial success with them. The reality is that an estimated 70 percent of all men don’t respond to popular pills like Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. Some get a partial erection, but that doesn’t allow for full sexual activity. And don’t forget the dangerous side effects and drug interactions associated with those pills, which prevent many guys from taking them at all. This leaves only two other viable medical options: an injection or a surgical implant. The choice is essentially to stick a needle into your penis before every sexual encounter or undergo surgery on the penis—with the possibility of serious complications and frequent failure rates. Unlike other treatments, The SwissWave Protocol at Alpha Medical Group threats the actual cause of the problem and not just the symptoms. The technology, which originated from Switzerland’s noted precision experts, has been used successfully in Europe for years and has been put to the test via comprehensive clinical trials. As a result, low intensity acoustical wave therapy has been oﬃcially accepted by the European Association of Urology (EAU) as the “Gold Standard for Treatment of ED.” Education Provided by: Alpha Medical Group, 515 Palm Coast Pkwy SW Ste 5, Palm Coast, FL 32137, Ph: 386-276-3075 www.AlphaMedicalGroup.com

Social Security Social Security Honors the Nation’s Heroes On Memorial Day INSIDE ADVISOR

On Memorial Day, we honor service members who have given their lives for our nation. Social Security acknowledges the heroism and courage of our military service members, and we remember those who have given their lives to protect our country. Part of how we honor these heroes is the way we provide Social Security benefits. The loss of a family member is diﬃcult for anyone. Social Security helps by providing benefits to protect service members’ dependents. Widows, widowers, and their dependent children may be eligible for Social Security survivors benefits. You can learn more about Social Security survivors benefits at www. socialsecurity.gov/survivors. It’s also important to recognize those service members who are still with us, especially those who have been wounded. Just as they served us, we have the obligation to serve them. Social Security has benefits to protect veterans when an injury prevents them from returning to active duty or performing other work. Wounded military service members can also receive expedited processing of their Social Security

disability claims. For example, Social Security will provide expedited processing of disability claims filed by veterans who have a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Compensation rating of 100 percent Permanent & Total (P&T). The VA and Social Security each have

disability programs. You may find that you qualify for disability benefits through one program but not the other, or that you qualify for both. Depending on the situation, some family members of military personnel, including dependent children and, in some cases, spouses, may be eligible to receive Social Security benefits. You can get answers to commonly asked questions and find useful information about the application process at www.socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors.

By Harry Martinez Social Security Manager in DeLand, FL Service members can also receive Social Security in addition to military retirement benefits. The good news is that your military retirement benefit generally does not reduce your Social Security retirement benefit. Learn more about Social Security retirement benefits at www.socialsecurity. gov/retirement. You may also want to visit the Military Service page of our Retirement Planner, available at www. socialsecurity.gov/planners/ retire/veterans.html. Service members are also eligible for Medicare at age 65. If you have health insurance from the VA or under the TRICARE or CHAMPVA programs, your health benefits may change, or end, when you become eligible for Medicare. Learn more about Medicare benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/ medicare. In acknowledgment of those who died for our country, those who served, and those who serve today, we at Social Security honor and thank you.

INSIDE ADVISOR

Let's Talk About Retirement Living

Leaving worries behind: Senior Living Communities Nothing can replace your home or your loved ones home or the memories. But, what if that option doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist anymore or you would like to downsize.

Senior Living Communities

Some Florida seniors who are looking for senior living are not looking for medical reasons. They just want to downsize and make things a little easier. They also want to live in a community of people, who are at a similar station in life, share their interests, and provide them with a sense of community. For seniors looking for these options, senior living apartments

can be a great choice. Seniors from all over the country are retiring to Florida and they have a lot of great options to choose from when they are looking for a new place to call home. The types of amenities vary somewhat from community to community. Make sure to compare the different services when looking at different communities. This will help you determine the value of your monthly cost.

The Right Senior Living Community for You

Since cost is always a consideration, a senior living community can be one of the most affordable options. Seniors will often look at In-

dependent Living Communities and Senior Living Communities. There is a difference and there is a cost difference. In Senior Living Communities you find more independent, higher functioning residents that may be what you are looking for. At Villa Grande on Saxon, we love our independent residents and provide many wonderful amenities included with our rent you may not find elsewhere in the Volusia County area. Call us today for more information and a free lunch! For more information about Independent Living Communities contact Villa Grande on Saxon Apartments, Orange City, FL.

INSIDE ADVISOR

What is TMJ? Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders, commonly called By Dr. John A. Whitsitt, "TMJ," are a group of D.D.S., F.A.C.P. conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. The conditions fall into three main categories: 1. Myofascial pain involves discomfort or pain in the muscles that control jaw function. 2. Internal derangement of the joint involves a displaced disc, dislocated jaw, or injury to the condyle. 3. Arthritis refers to a group of degenerative/ inflammatory joint disorders that can affect the temporomandibular joint. A person may have one or more of these conditions at the same time. Some estimates suggest that TMJ disorders affect over 10 million Americans and more common in women than men. If your symptoms persist, we may recommend a variety of treatment options. Medications. A nonsurgical treatment, medication may help relieve the pain associated with TMJ disorders. Oral splints or mouth guards (occlusal appliances). Often, people with jaw pain will benefit from wearing a soft or firm device inserted over their teeth. Physical therapy. Treatments might include ultrasound, moist heat and ice — along with exercises to stretch and strengthen jaw muscles. Counseling. Education and counseling can help you understand the factors and behaviors that may aggravate your pain, so you can avoid them.

Veterans Information

INSIDE ADVISOR

MAIL CALL:

While the Veterans Administration (VA) recently has made great strides in the delivery of healthcare and monetary benefits, there are still a few mysteries that perplex the best of us. So, each month we consult our trusted resources to bring you answers to the most vexing VA questions. Send us your questions at customerservice@ agingtree.com or call and you could be featured in Ask Sarge as well as and those selected will get a free jar gripper from Aging Tree. Q: I’m a proud Marine, but truth be told, I’m having trouble getting into my home and especially my bathroom due to my disabilities. Is there anything VA can do to help me? Bob, Ormond Beach A: As a matter of fact, there are three possibilities available depending on your situation, Gunny, so let’s explore each. The first is a Home Improvement & Structural Adaptation (HISA) grant. Up to $2,000 may be available for non-service connected veterans with non-service connected disabilities if the improvement is determined by VA to be necessary to provide access to the home or essential lavatory and sanitary facilities. VA may pay up to $6,800 when renovations are required due to service connected disabilities or when veterans are rated 50 percent or more service connected. But wait, there’s more! Even renters can use the grant if the landlord agrees to the modifications! You can use HISA to... • Build a wooden or concrete ramp to gain access to your home • Widen doorways for wheelchair access to your bedroom or bathroom • Lower your kitchen or bathroom counters or sinks • Improve the sidewalk or driveway close to your house so you can use your wheelchair • Install railings deemed necessary to help you walk safely • Install a roll-in shower Alterations Considered for Blind Veterans eligible for HISA

•

Hand rails on outside steps and non-skid surfaces for steps • Improved lighting • Repair of broken or worn stairs • Sliding doors for cabinets • Porch cover or awning • Smoke alarm/fire detection system • Grab bars for bathroom • Other - as the HISA Committee approves Two other potential grant programs exist for Veterans with certain permanent and total service-connected disabilities to help purchase or construct an adapted home or to modify an existing home to accommodate a disability. Special Home Adaptation (SHA) grants. An SHA grant helps pay to modify a home to meet the needs of a veteran with a certain type and level of disability and who needs assistance with safe mobility around the house. An SHA grant for such modifications can be as high as $12,756. An SHA grant may be available to a veteran with disability compensation for permanent and total service-connected disability due to: • Blindness in both eyes (5/200 visual acuity or less). • Loss or loss of use of both hands or of arms below the elbow. • Certain severe burns • Certain severe respiratory injuries You can use SHA grants in one of the following ways: • Adapt an existing home the Veteran or a family member already owns in which the Veteran lives • Adapt a home the Veteran or fam-

Ask 'ol Sarge' Send us your VA Questions!!

ily member intends to purchase in which the Veteran will live • Help a Veteran purchase a home already adapted in which the Veteran will live But wait, there’s more! This SHA grant may be available to a veteran who is or will be temporarily residing in a home owned by a family member, for modifications to that home. Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant Veterans with a service connected permanent total service-connected disability who have experienced one or more of the following conditions: • Loss or loss of use of both arms and or both legs • Blindness in both eyes or only light perception An SAH grant can be as much as $63,780, and can potentially be used up to three times! While these grants may go a long way in helping some veterans to stay independent in their own homes, it is important to remember that these are not automatic entitlements, even if you meet the criteria to apply. These grant benefits are dependent on the continual renewal of existing laws and the annual allocation of VA funds to support the grants. Even then, there is only so much money allocated to these grants each year, so apply as soon as you have a need! The information provided here is an overview of the benefit and is not intended to be exhaustive. As with many things, there are usually caveats and everyone’s situation is diﬀerent. Therefore, it is generally recommend that you seek the help of a Veterans Service Oﬃcer when applying for these benefits.
