Medicare Open Enrollment October 15-December 7

At Your Service!

It’s important to investigate which Drug Plan will provide you the best coverage for the best price in the coming year. 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,” advises Sandy Leith, Director of the Illinois Department on Aging’s SHIP Program. With the sharp price increases seen in the pharmaceutical industry, checking the formulary and cost is more important than ever. You can do it on your own by using Medicare’s Drug Plan Finder -- we are offering a DIY class (see below) -- or call for an appointment with one of our SHIP counselors. Don’t delay, as slots always fill up! Last year we assisted about 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. “The Best Choice in an Educated Choice!”

Pre-requisite: All class participants MUST know how to use a computer and the internet.

How the Illinois Budget Crisis Affects Some Programs!

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 Please note that ACES will not be meeting on Yom Kippur (10/12) or Thanksgiving Eve (11/23)

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, pre-

The Benefit Access Program (License Plate Discount & Senior Rides Free Card) is also affected. The state is currently running TWO months behind with processing. Allow yourself enough time to get your benefit!! Many folks, through no fault of their own, have lost the benefit or have had to pay late fees. Check when your BAP eligibility expires, or have Margie at PTC look it up for you. It is suggested you renew at the first opportunity, which is three months prior to expiration. For those of you unfamiliar with the BAP: One must be 65 or older--or over 16 and totally disabled; AND have an annual income from all sources under $27,610 for singles or $36,635 for couples. The application is good for two years. ALL applications and documentation must be submitted online; no paper forms exist. You can do it yourself at the Illinois Department on Aging’s website. Deerfield residents and PTC members can make an appointment with Margie and she will do it for you!
