elcome to the premier issue of the Buxmont Lifestyles over 50. Since 2006, Lifestyles over 50 has been a resource for boomers, seniors and caregivers in Pennsylvania and now serves Bucks and Montgomery County residents.

The focus of our directory is on health and senior care services available in Bucks and Montgomery counties. Inside you will find helpful resources for aging (see the table of contents on page 2). These services may be for you or they may be for a loved one. The directory will prove to be an invaluable resource so please keep a copy of it somewhere handy.

You will also find informative articles. We emphasize a healthy lifestyle in this issue with an article on bike riding and walking the rail trails in the area. There are endless miles of beautiful trails in our part of the country so take advantage and get out there and “ride the rails”.

Lifestyles over 50

As an added music bonus we include a list of outdoor summer concerts in your area.

Today, many of our nation’s old rail beds sit unused and by members of the surrounding community, the materials overgrown. A clever organization, known as Rails to Trails, used to make them vary.

Power of Music Life has a soundtrack. From the moment we are born, we are awash in waves of organized patterns of sound. Music is an intimate personal companion on our human journey. Childhood lullabies and nursery rhymes, popular songs and dances of our teen years, and what we choose to listen to as adults all become part of the rich musical tapestry woven by the culture, time period and geography of our individual Since 1990, under the direction of founder Kathy Purcell, circumstances.

Everyone is affected by the irresistible power instruments, singing, songwriting, drumming, music and of music. movement, hand chime choir, individual instrument and Music has a tremendous ability to inspire, to energize, to soothe. As we journey through our lives, music impacts us in more ways than we often realize. It affects our emotions by causing us to feel happy or sad, excited or relaxed, angry or at peace. It possesses the power to evoke distant memories, helps us to learn and remember, provides a backdrop for our personal interactions, brings us together socially; and, when used therapeutically it can enhance our well being.

Although the health benefits of music have been realized since ancient times, the scientific study and practice of using music as a therapeutic tool was not codified until the 1940s. The American Music Therapy Association cites a few of the benefits: “Music Therapy interventions can be designed to: Promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate pain, express feelings, enhance memory, improve communication, and promote physical rehabilitation” (AMTA, 2016).

voice lessons and singing groups.

For healthy seniors, music therapy sessions can simply provide a rewarding experience through meaningful and pleasurable participation and opportunities to maintain physical and mental skills, socialization and reminisce. Since music is processed throughout the entire brain, it is especially beneficial for those with declining health, diminished cognitive function and memory loss.

Music therapy is beneficial in decreasing dependence on pain medication and can increase compliance with other therapies which allows patients to heal more quickly from an injury or surgery. Individuals receiving hospice care and their families also benefit from working with a music therapist during this difficult time.

Inflatable dummy tank in WWII effective. Many churches have their own detachment of a spiritual Ghost Army. John warns us about them in 2 John 7: “For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.”

These deceivers can even be church leaders who pretend to wear stripes they don’t deserve. Jesus

The Ghost Army

By Alan Allegra

E

veryone has heard of Generals Patton and Eisenhower, the Tuskegee Airmen, the Enola Gay, and Rosie the Riveter.

But have you heard of the Twenty-Third Headquarters Special Troops? No? Don’t be surprised — up until about 20 years ago, almost no one had heard of the Ghost Army of World War II. With a force of 1,100 brilliant, creative men, the Ghost Army’s mission was to defraud, disappoint, dupe, deceive, and decoy the enemy. They did so by using inflatable artillery, tanks, airplanes, and transports; the most extensive sound effects library available; phony uniforms and markings; drawings; and signs. They impersonated entire platoons in person and on radio. They looked and sounded so real, they fooled not only the enemy, but our military as well! One reason they were so successful was because the Germans didn’t think the Americans were smart enough to fool them. Their mission — and very existence — was so top secret, only a few military and government officials in their direct line knew about them.

It was the enemy who nicknamed them the Ghost Army, because they appeared so real, but then seemed to disappear.

The religious world has its own Ghost Army that is just as

sounds the alarm: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15). “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray” (Matthew 24:4-5). Of their disciples, he says, “This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me” (Mark 7:6).

The Ghost Army would have been ineffective if the Germans had caught on. Satan can be rendered ineffective when believers catch on to his devices (2 Corinthians 2:11).

Under cover of church communion, worthy works, pious platitudes, and even manifest miracles, Ghost Army recruits look and sound real, but are merely inflatable Christians.

In the middle of a pointed discourse about the days in which we dwell, Paul points out those who seem more spiritual than they really are (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Ghost Army recruits do not have the Holy Spirit in them, and inwardly are not Christ’s (Romans 8:9).

Although the 23 rd gave the impression of wielding the might of many tanks and artillery pieces, in reality, they only had small machine guns; they could be easily overwhelmed.

Duplicitous false disciples, too, have little defense against Satan, the “roaring lion” (1 Peter 5:8). Without the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), a person cannot stand secure. The devil is one enemy that is not easily fooled.

Amazingly, when the real battles began, the Ghost Army disappeared; that was their job. One mark of a pretend believer is desertion when things get tough (Luke 8:13; 1 John 2:19).

If you are not sure you are part of the Lord’s Army, it’s time to enlist! Read the book of 1 John to see whose side you’re on.

The Ghost Army of World War II saved thousands of lives; the spiritual Ghost Army destroys millions of souls.

The only honorable discharge from the spiritual Ghost Army is, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household” (Acts 16:31).

Is It Dementia Or Just Old Age?

By Art Villafane, Lifestyles over 50

A

s we get older things change.

We look different, and we feel different. In normal aging our bodies and our brains slow down. We maintain our intelligence, but our brains change. We are less physically and mentally flexible, and we take more time to process information.

Our memory changes as well, and it’s more difficult to remember names, places and other things as we age.

So what are specific examples of normal, old-age forgetfulness? Recently, Harvard Medical School identified several normal memory problems: Transience. The tendency to forget facts or events over time. You are most likely to forget information soon after you learn it.

Absentmindedness. This type of forgetting occurs when you don’t pay close enough attention. You forget where you just put your pen because you didn’t focus on where you put it in the first place.

Blocking. Someone asks you a question and the answer is right on the tip of your tongue — you know that you know it, but you just can’t think of it.

Misattribution. Misattribution occurs when you remember something accurately in part, but misattribute some detail, like the time, place, or person involved.

Suggestibility. Suggestibility is the vulnerability of your memory to the power of suggestion — information that you learn about an occurrence after the fact becomes incorporated into your memory of the incident, even though you did not experience these details.

Bias. In your memory, your perceptions are filtered by your personal biases — experiences, beliefs, prior knowledge, and even your mood at the moment.

Persistence. The persistence of memories of traumatic events, negative feelings, and ongoing fears is another form of memory problem.

Sometimes memory issues are not

black and white. If you have any questions it is imperative to consult your doctor. Below are some additional commonly asked questions.

Can I prevent cognitive decline?

Some cognitive decline is a normal part of growing older. However, your lifestyle, diet and exercise can help maintain your brain health.

How can I slow the normal aging of the brain? Studies show that obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol all can increase your risk for dementia. There are any number of sensible, healthy food plans and advice available through books and the Internet.

Eat fruits, veggies and whole grains. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains can reduce your risk for chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The antioxidants in leafy greens, cruciferous (such as broccoli, cabbage and turnips) and darkskinned vegetables may be especially protective. Give beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, eggplant, kale, red bell peppers, romaine lettuce or spinach a try.

Avoid saturated fats.

Foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol, such as red meat and whole-milk dairy products, can contribute to high blood cholesterol levels. To limit your intake of saturated fats, use olive oil or canola oil instead of butter when sautéing foods (or grill or roast your foods instead). When you eat meat, choose poultry or fish. Also, choose low-fat or nonfat dairy products over wholemilk products.

Get your omega-3s. The most common source of omega-3 fatty acids is fatty fish, such as sardines, tuna, salmon, mackerel and herring.

To get your omega-3s, try to eat one of these types of fish once or twice a week.Talk to your doctor about taking supplements. Research shows that some vitamins, such as vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B12 and foliate may help protect your brain.

In addition to a healthy diet, taking a multivitamin may help ensure you get enough of these nutrients.

Adult Day Care Services provide a coordinated program of professional and compassionate services for adults in a community-based group setting. Services are designed to provide social and some health services to adults who need supervised care in a safe place outside the home during the day. They also afford caregivers respite from the demanding responsibilities of caregiving. Adult day care facilities for the elderly are licensed and inspected by the Department of Aging. Costs for Adult Day Care Services range from $75/day to $100/day. The costs are paid for with private funds or may be partially/fully covered by long-term care insurance, Veterans Assistance, or Medicaid through the County’s Aging Waiver Program. A list of questions to ask when visiting adult day care services can be found at Lifestylesover50.com.

Personal Care

Non-medical home care includes a wide variety of companionship, home helper and personal care services that helps individuals with living activities as well as ensure a safe environment. All non-medical home care companies are licensed by the state of Pennsylvania. Payment for services is often made by the client as traditional medical insurance does not cover non-medical home care. For those who qualify, non-medical home care may be paid for partially or fully through Medicaid (via the County’s Aging Waiver Program), Veterans Assistance and long-term care insurance. The average cost of non-medical home care services can range from $18 - $28 per hour, depending on one’s needs.

Private

Independent Living is designed for individuals who can live independently. Some are affiliated with health care facilities that provide additional support, if needed.

Ombudsman provides assistance in investigating and resolving complaints brought by, or on behalf of, longterm care consumers such as residents of nursing homes, personal care, assisted living facilities and recipients of home health care. Contact 1-800-677-1116 or Eldercare.gov for your local ombudsman.

Personal Care Homes are Pennsylvania State licensed facilities that offer semi-private and/or private rooms to those who need assistance with living activities but do not require skilled nursing care. The levels of assistance varies among the communities.

Respite Care is short-term care and relief to enable those caring for a loved one in their homes to have a break for rest and relaxation or time away to do errands. Personal care homes typically offer respite care as a short term (several days) admission to the facility.

Semi-private

communities that offer varying levels of on-site care to residents; from assistance with daily living activities to nursing services. The costs for personal care homes can range. The average cost per month for a semi-private room is between $2,000 and $4,500, and a private room costs between $3,500 and $7,000 in southeastern Pennsylvania.

The costs are typically funded by the residents but may be funded by Veterans Assistance and long-term care insurance. Below are some commonly used terms.

Alzheimer’s / Dementia care is a service offered by some personal care homes to manage the needs of those with memory impairment. Levels of care vary and may include staff training, special programming and secured areas.

Assisted Living is a term for personal care facilities that meet specific Pennsylvania State licensing criteria.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities offer a comprehensive, lifetime range of care from independent living to skilled nursing care. Costs and levels of care vary widely.

Rehab / Therapy

Skilled Nursing Facilities provide 24-hour care for those requiring rehabilitation or for those with long-term illnesses.

Services may include medical care, therapies and assistance with activities of daily living. Facilities are licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Depending on an individual’s circumstances, costs for skilled nursing and rehabilitation can be covered fully or partially by Medicare, Medicaid, major insurance, and long-term care insurance. In some cases, care needs to be paid for by an individual’s private funds, in which case monthly costs can range between $10,000 and $14,000.
