OLDER AMERICANS MONTH 2013

Unleash the Power of Age!

Betty Parks and Valeita Williams from the Altrusa Club of Lawrence presented a check to DCSS Intern Kasia Potocka last month at the Lawrence Senior Center. The donation will be used to expand the selection of books available in the DCSS Caregiver Resource Library. The library was made possible by funds from Altrusa and we appreciate their continued support. Kasia has been organizing materials and researching possible additions to the library, which is utilized by our Caregiver Support *URXS 7KH JURXS PHHWV WKH ÂżUVW DQG WKLUG 0RQGD\ RI each month from 2:15 to 3:45 p.m. at the Lawrence Senior Center and is open to all caregivers, offering an opportunity to share feelings and discuss caregiving topics in an understanding and caring environment. Books are available to anyone interested in learning more about caregiving and may be checked-out from the Community Services Department at DCSS. Visit our website for a list of available books and resource materials, or call 842-0543 for information.

Every year since 1963, May has been the month to appreciate and celebrate the vitality and aspirations of older adults and their contributions and achievements. It is a proud tradition that shows our nation’s commitment to honor the value that elders continue to contribute to our communities. This year’s Older Americans Month theme “Unleash the Power of Age!â€? - emphasizes the important role of older adults. This May, communities across the nation will recognize older Americans as SURGXFWLYH DFWLYH DQG LQĂ€XHQWLDO PHPEHUV RI VRFLHW\ Older Americans Month celebrations will acknowledge the value that older adults continue to bring to our communities by making an effort to applaud recent achievements of local elders and inviting them to share the activities they do to unleash the power of age. Douglas County Senior Services encourages you to take part in the celebrations by sharing your Older Americans Month resolutions with the U.S. Administration on Aging. Post what you will do this May to unleash the power of age on the AoA Facebook page, and follow up by sharing a picture or story about the experience later in the year. While DCSS provides services, support, and resources to older adults year-round, Older Americans Month is a great opportunity to show special appreciation! We will continue to provide opportunities for elders to come together and share their experiences with one another, as well as with individuals of other generations.

STRENGTH-TRAINING TIPS

Es it ok to keep doing the same strength^training routine all the timea E donbt know if Ebm making progress any more.

L A

Iirst, kudos to you for including strength training as part of your physical acti-ity. =erobic eVercise (like walking) is not enough all on its own to maintain the muscle that adults otherwise tend to lose as we get older. Howe-er, if you keep doing eVactly the same strength^training eVercises without changing or ad-ancing them in some way, you can reach a strength^training plateau, and \RX GRQÂśW JHW DV PXFK EHQHÂżW IURP WKH WLPH \RXÂśUH SXWWLQJ LQ DV you could. The =merican Council on EVercise (=CE) says itbs EHVW WR NHHS FKDOOHQJLQJ RXUVHOYHV ÂżUVW E\ JUDGXDOO\ LQFUHDVLQJ the number of crepsd (repetitions, or how many times you do a VSHFLÂżF PRYH VWDUWLQJ DW DQG ZRUNLQJ XS WR 7KDW PDNHV one csetd of an eVercise, and people may do from one to three csetsd of each eVercise. @nce you can comfortably do an eVercise OP times in a row, try a more challenging -ersion of the eVercise. Ef youbre using free weights or a Nautilus^type machine, =CE UHFRPPHQGV LQFUHDVLQJ WKH DPRXQW RI ZHLJKW E\ ÂżYH SHUFHQW ,I you use -ery light weights, go to the neVt hea-ier weight load (for H[DPSOH IURP WZR SRXQGV WR WKUHH SRXQGV RU IURP ÂżYH SRXQGV to se-en pounds). But start back at only eight crepsd of doing the eVercise. Gradually work your way up to doing the eVercise more times before you add additional weight. Ef youb-e been using elastic bands or body weight for your strength training, use the same approachW increase the number of times you do the eVercise up to OP, and then ad-ance to a more challenging way to do the eVercise. =nother tip for a-oiding or dealing with a strength^training plateau is to try different types of eVercises, using muscles in slightly different ways. =lso key to maVimi`ing the results of your strength training is to rest affected muscles two days between strength eVercises. Muscle is built during the time off after strength traininge if you get back to it too soon after your last workout, you donbt gi-e your body enough chance to rebuild.

MAKING MEDICARE MAKE SENSE Answers To Some of The Most Commonly Asked Medicare 8uestions

!: I recently got a notice from Medicare about my new Part D plan, allowing me to change to a higher-rated plan if I want to. I thought the Medicare Prescription Drug and Health Plan Open Enrollment Period were over. What does this mean?

A: Medicare has sent these letters to Medicare EHQHÂżFLDULHV ZKR KDYH decided to enroll in what are called “low performing plansâ€? - that is, plans which have scored less than three VWDUV RQ WKH 0HGLFDUH ÂżYH star rating system for the last three or more years. This is the second such PDLOLQJ 7KH ÂżUVW RQH VHQW last fall, went to people who were enrolled last year in a low performing plan. This new mailing went to 0HGLFDUH EHQHÂżFLDULHV ZKR enrolled in a low performing plan during the most recent Open Enrollment Period. If you got either letter, you have a one-time opportunity to change your enrollment to a higher

rated plan, right away, without waiting for the next Open Enrollment Period in October. You can also change to a plan which does not yet have a rating, because it is too new to have received one. But you don’t have to make any change at all if you don’t want to. If you decide to make a change, it will take place on WKH ¿UVW GD\ RI WKH PRQWK following your election. It will not change the plan you are in this month. You may also change from a low performing Medicare Advantage health plan to a Medicare Advantage health plan in your coverage area with a higher rating or to Original Medicare, if you want to; in the latter case, you will also be allowed
