Medicare Open Enrollment October 15- December 7

At Your Service! Our part-time staff member, Margie Fischer, M.A., offers a variety of helpful information to members of our community. Topics include in-home services, community resources, help with applying for benefits, Medicare information, caregiver support and more. Margie has compiled a handy resource booklet tailored to our local area. The 40-page Guide to Community Services for Older Adults and Their Families is available for free at the Patty Turner Center. It can be mailed out upon request. Margie is generally in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday. Stop in, call, leave a voicemail, or send an email to Margie@pattyturnercenter.org. PTC Social Services is a partnership between West Deerfield Township and the Deerfield Park District. Service is friendly, free, and confidential.

Grant Money Available! The West Deerfield Township Accessibility Grant for disabled residents is aimed at improving quality of life through increased access to the community. Grants up to $1000 per household per year may be awarded. Expenses which may qualify for this program include things like home modifications, mobility equipment, adaptive communication devices, some therapies, etc. Older adults are encouraged to apply!! The program is intended to assist those WDT residents with the greatest financial need, but there is no stated income limit. Application forms are available at PTC, the township office, and online. Grants are awarded quarterly; the next application deadline is December 31st. For more info, call the Township at 847-9450614 or PTC Social Services.

It’s important to investigate which Drug Plan will provide you the best coverage for the best price. Open Enrollment is the one time each year that all beneficiaries can shop for Drug Plans. The new plan becomes effective January 1. Don’t feel program loyalty! With sharp price increases seen the pharmaceutical industry, checking the formulary and cost is more important than ever. You can do it online on your own by using the Medicare Drug Plan Finder—we are offering a how-to DIY class (see below)—or, call for an appointment with one of our SHIP counselors. Don’t delay: slots always fill up! Last year we assisted over 100 people. When coming to your appointment, please bring your Medicare card, name of your current plan, and a list of your current medications-- including dose and frequency. SHIP says, “The Best Choice is an Educated Choice!” SHIP is the Senior Health Insurance Program and is part of the Illinois Department on Aging. Call the front desk to book your appointment.

DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Part D Class Smart Medicare beneficiaries know they should revaluate and—if indicated—change their Part D prescription drug plans every year. But how? The PTC is offering a free, hands-on class about using the Medicare Drug Plan Finder to select your best plan at the best price! Participants will be guided how to access it, enter their drugs and preferred pharmacy, interpret the results, and enroll in a plan. After the info session, registered participants will have the opportunity to sit down at a computer in our Library and try it out with personal guidance from our SHIP Staff. Last year’s program filled to capacity and everyone left happy, with a better understanding, and saving money! Pre-requisite: All participants MUST know how to use a computer/internet. Last year’s attendees are welcome to re-enroll for a refresher, if desired. Please contact the PTC Front Desk to register by November 9. FREE. Thursday November 16 1:30—2:45

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. 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. Care recipients must be comfortable being apart from their loved one, have appropriate behavior, and be able to use the restroom on their own. 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. Please Note - ACES will not meet on 11/22, Thanksgiving Eve.
