Have questions or confusion about Medicare? Help is right here! The Senior Health Insurance Program, a wonderful service provided by the Illinois Department on Aging and hosted by the PTC, is here to assist you! The expert knowledge of our volunteers trained in Medicare can inform you on a variety of topics— learning the ABC’s and D’s of Medicare, selecting a supplement plan, sorting claims, filing appeals, checking for subsidies, etc. We receive tremendous positive feedback on our team of volunteers. Smart beneficiaries use SHIP because “The Best Choice is and Educated Choice!” The service is FREE and is open to ALL. Appointments are required. Have you heard? Beginning Spring 2018 all Medicare beneficiaries will receive new cards and new numbers with the purpose of increased security to protect one’s healthcare and financial information. The SSN (Social Security Number) is being replaced with an MBI (Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI). 60 million active cards will be sent through the US postal Service over the course of one year. We are telling you this now, so you will be aware that no one will be calling you by phone about this. Be aware (or should we say BEWARE!) of scammers who may be setting up shop to commit fraud by calling you, posing as a government employee, and trying to get your private information. NEW! Low Vision Group at the PTC Join a gathering that will reflect the common and unique lifestyles of those with low vision. The meeting will be enlightening and interactive; a place to share ideas and tools to live happy, independent, and meaningful lives. The group will meet every other month, has no cost, and is open to non-members. If you are reading this without magnification, please tell your friends who can't!! In our first meeting, Melissa Wittenberg from the Chicago Lighthouse in Glenview provided us with an informal and informative introduction to the services and programs the Lighthouse offers. Be sure to mark your calendar for our next meeting on Monday, July 10th from 10:00 - 11:30. If you are interested, please contact Margie. .

ACES: Caregiver Support Are you caring for your spouse, parent, or other relative? If so, you may feel tired, overwhelmed, stressed, sad, or frustrated. Perhaps you need caregiving tips or leads on resources. Studies show that caregivers reduce stress, have improved health, and provide better care when part of a caregiver support group. The group is not disease specific, it focuses on the caregiver. Join our vital group to meet others in our community who, like you, are caring for an older adult loved one. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 1pm in the Patty Turner Center Library. Drop in. FREE. For more info call Margie at PTC 847-940-4010.

Save Money on License Plate Sticker, Local Vehicle Sticker, and Public Transit

Do care obligations keep you from attending our Support Groups? Here’s a solution! Through our treasured partnership with Faith in Action Volunteers, we are able to offer some respite options. On-site supervision of your loved one in our front lobby may be available during the Alzheimer and ACES meetings.

Also, on a more limited basis, a trained Faith in Action volunteer may come to your home, if needed, while you attend the ACES meeting. For both services, prescreening and reservations are required. There is never a fee. Please call Margie at PTC for eligibility requirements and more information.
