Characters welcome.

Some people think that rehabilitation centers and nursing homes are quiet, boring places filled with quiet people just passing the time.

Those people never visited Essex Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare. As a member of the Centers Health Care family, Essex Center continues to add quality staff and provide them with the most up to date training and we’re very proud of our 4-Star staff rating from Medicare. gov. But most of all we’re proud of the lifestyle our residents enjoy. When it comes to passing the time, this place can be a real blast, so if you

aren’t ready to live life to the fullest, maybe you should think about one of those other homes.

Where a lot of quiet people sit around watching the hands of the clock and passing the time.

Come by for a visit, and see how much richer and fuller life is at Essex Center.

Additional facilities located through out the Adirondack region.

Seniors can overcome feelings of apprehension about going to the gym

Older adults can overcome gym intimidation

R

egular exercise and a nutritious diet are two of the best things seniors can do to maintain their health. Exercise can delay or prevent many of the health problems associated with aging, including weak bones and feelings of fatigue.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says a person age 65 or older who is generally fit with no limiting health conditions should try to get two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic

activity per week, while also including weight training and muscle-strengthening activities in their routines on two or more days a week.

Individuals often find that gyms have the array of fitness equipment they need to stay healthy. But many people, including older men and women who have not exercised in some time, may be hesitant to join a gym for fear of intimidation. Some seniors may avoid machines and classes believing they will not use the appara-

Are you or someone you know not enjoying life like they used to?

• Have you lost interest in the activities you used to enjoy?

• Do you struggle with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness?

• Are you finding it harder and harder to get through the day?

• Loss of energy, sleep, appetite and physical health?

Tour the circuit of machines and other equipment. Find out if you can sample a class to see if it might be a good fit.

• Find a gym buddy. Working out with a partner in your age group may encourage you to keep going to the gym and increase your comfort level. You each can offer support and enjoy a good laugh through the learning process.

• Don’t get discouraged. Anyone working out for the first time, regardless of age, will feel somewhat out of place until exercise becomes part of a routine. Give it some time before throwing in the towel.

Once you catch on, you may discover you enjoy working out.

• Choose a senior-friendly gym. Some gyms cater to senior members. They may offer “Silver Sneakers” classes at their facility. Other niche gyms may only accept members of a certain age group. Investigate these gyms if working out with a younger crowd is proving too great a deterrent.

Fitness is important for healthy seniors.

It can prolong life, help seniors maintain healthy weights and reduce their risk of injury. ■

tus properly, or that they will be judged by other gym members. Some seniors may feel like gyms do not cater to their older clientele, creating an atmosphere that is dominated by younger members and loud music.

Such misconceptions are often unfounded, as many gyms welcome older members with open arms. But even if seniors find gyms intimidating, they should still sign up for memberships. In such situations, the following tips can help seniors shed their fears and adapt to their new gyms.

• Start the process slowly. Shop around for a gym that makes you feel comfortable. Get fully informed about which classes are offered, and the benefits, if any, afforded to older members.

• Get a doctor’s go-ahead. Make sure to clear exercise and gym membership with your doctor prior to purchasing a membership. He or she also may have a list of gyms where fellow senior patients have memberships.

• Build up gradually. Begin with exercises you feel comfortable performing.

Spend time walking on the treadmill while observing other gym members.

RSVP news and notes

By Kyle Miller RSV P VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR

PORT HENRY | The success of RSVP of Essex County lies in our volunteers.

It is through the combined contributions of these folks that so many others who are in need receive benefit. This year, more than 150 people in Essex County over the age of 55 — people just like you and I — gave of their time to make a world of difference in our community.

One of the ways that RSVP says “thank you” to our volunteers for their service to others, is with our annual Recognition Luncheon.

Each year, active RSVP volunteers receive a personal invitation to join us for a free day of fun, food and good times.

2017’s Recognition Luncheon proved to be a banner year.

Despite the rainy weather, nearly 90 people came out to beautiful Noblewood Park, in Willsboro.

We almost had to spill out of the lovely enclosed pavilion to the “al fresco” picnic tables A delicious meal of spare ribs and macaroni and cheese was prepared by Rob Alexander and the ACAP food services, who catered the event.

The greatest compliment for the cooks was how quiet the boisterous crowd became once the food was served and we all dug in.

The beautiful woodland setting on the shore of Lake Champlain was an ideal spot to spend a relaxing day.

Besides the wonderful meal and genial conversations, the goody bags at each seat and the basket giveaways were a source of great entertainment.

We were honored to have Essex Town Supervisor Edward Gardner and Willsboro Town Supervisor Shaun Gillilland in attendance, and we thank them for coming.

While the luncheon is to thank all RSVP volunteers, two people were especially recognized for their outstanding contributions.

Phyllis Smith received a lifetime achievement award for her many years of service to RSVP and Edwin Rafferty received the volunteer of the year award for his work at the

Moses Ludington Hospital gift shop.

Every year the Recognition Luncheon gets bigger and better. One thing that would please me to no end would be to save a seat for you at next year’s!

Why not become an RSVP volunteer and join us?

Free Tax Preparation: A great program that has been a success in those areas where it has been introduced is the VITA tax program.

The “Volunteer Income Tax Assistance” program provides free tax preparation assistance to senior and low to middle income households. It is made possible through the cooperation of United Way of the Adirondack Region, IRS and RSVP. In Essex County there will be tax preparation sites at the Hand House in Elizabethtown, the Schroon Lake Senior Center, and the Lake Placid Public Library.

We’re seeking to grow the free tax preparation sites to include the Moriah Town Hall in Port Henry.

With just two new volunteers, we can add Port Henry as a much-needed site to that area of the county.

Volunteers will receive free tax preparation training, a laptop computer station and tax preparation software.

As a volunteer, you can be a working person, a college student, semi-retired or retired. If you would like to become a VITA volunteer either as a tax-preparer or greeter, please call Kyle Miller at 518-546-3565.

Drivers Needed: One of the many things that the Essex County Office for the Aging does is provide transportation to people who might otherwise not have a way to get to their medical appointments.

RSVP sends them as many volunteer drivers as we canbut there is always greater demand than there are drivers.

Can you imagine having a doctor’s appointment you’ve scheduled three months ago and having to cancel because of a car ride? That’s what some Essex County residents face.

Many of you in Essex County who are 55 and older are excellent drivers. If this sounds like you, consider what a splendid use of your time it would be to volunteer as a driver!

You really would be a life-saver!

You’ll receive mileage reimbursement to gas up your car

Senior Life | Winter 2017 • 5

and you’ll be covered by Volunteer Insurance. Give Kyle Miller a call at 518-546-3565 to find out more.

Other Opportunities to Volunteer: RSVP volunteers have many choices to contribute to helping your communities. Here are a few of the programs volunteers support: Friendly Visitor volunteers spend a few hours a week simply enjoying a visit with someone who may not otherwise have outside social contact.

Reading Buddy volunteers pair with elementary school students one-on-one in the classroom reading to and listening to primary school students read to boost literacy.

Hospice volunteers provide comfort to those near endof-life by visiting with elderly or infirm individuals in their own homes and providing respite for families and caregivers.

Literacy volunteers serve in a very rewarding effort that can literally change lives.

Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin counties offers free tutoring (one on one, or group sessions) for basic literacy and for the high school equivalency exam.

Consider how you might enjoy spending a few volunteer hours a week and then call Kyle Miller at 518-546-3565 to take the first step! ■

Protect your joints and prevent pain

J

• Get some green in your diet. A healthy diet pays numerous dividends, but many may not know that a healthy diet can help prevent joint pain. Green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, kale and parsley are high in calcium and can reduce age-related bone loss while also slowing cartilage destruction.

• Shed those extra pounds. If you start including more healthy vegetables in your diet, you might just start to lose a little weight as well. Such weight loss also can help your joints, as the AF notes that every extra pound a person gains puts four times the stress on his or her knees. The AF also notes that research has shown that losing as little as 11 pounds can reduce a person’s risk of osteoarthritis of the knee by 50 percent.

• Hit the pool. Swimming is a great full-body workout and can be especially helpful to the joints. The buoyancy of water supports the body’s weight, reducing stress on the joints and minimizing pain as a result. If possible, swimmers already experiencing pain should swim in heated pools, which can help relieve pain. While you

oints play vital roles in the human body, forming the connections between bones and facilitating movement. Damage to the joints can be especially painful, and that damage may result from conditions such as osteoarthritis or gout.

While not all joint pain is debilitating, the discomfort of joint pain is such that it’s wise for adults to take steps to protect their joints with the hope of preventing joint pain down the road. Recognizing that joint pain can negatively affect quality of life, the Arthritis Foundation offers the following joint protection tips to men and women.

• Forgo fashion with regard to footwear. When women choose their footwear, fashion should not be their top priority. According to the Arthritis Foundation, threeinch heels stress the feet seven times more than one-inch heels and heels put additional stress on knees, possibly increasing women’s risk for osteoarthritis. Though heels may be fashionable, the risk of developing joint pain is not worth making the fashion statement.

can still benefit from swimming in pools with colder temperatures, cold water may not soothe the joints like warm water can.

• Take breaks at work. Many people develop joint pain thanks to their jobs. If you spend all day sitting at a desk or standing on your feet, try to find a greater balance between the two. Joints can grow stiff from sitting all day, while standing throughout your work day can stress the joints. Take a short break every 30 minutes to stand up and walk around if you spend most of your day at a desk. If you stand a lot at your job, stop to sit down for a few minutes once every half hour.

Joint pain and aging do not have to go hand in hand.

More information about joint paint is available at arthritis.org. ■

Swimming is a great workout that can alleviate pain and reduce stress on the joints.

Assistive devices help people remain mobile

D

isabilities affect people from all walks of life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 55 million Americans have a disability of some kind.

Of these people, 33 million have a disability that makes it difficult for them to carry out some daily activities. Statistics Canada states that, as of 2012, 13.7 percent of the population age 15 years or older reported having a disability that could impact daily life.

People with disabilities may need assistive devices to reclaim some measure of their independence. For example, millions of people rely on wheelchairs or walking aids to get around. These are called assistive technology and rehabilitative devices, which include tools, equipment or products that can help people with disabilities get around more easily.

These devices may be as small as magnifying glasses for reading to as large as wheelchairs.

The National Institutes of Health state

that 2.2 million people in the U.S depend on wheelchairs for day-to-day tasks and mobility. More than six million use canes, walkers or crutches to assist with mobility.

The following are some of the common types of mobility devices available for purchase.

• Canes: Canes are handheld devices that provide a little extra stability or support to weakened limbs. Canes are easily transported and can assist those who need only a little help.

• Standard walkers: Also known as medical walkers, standard walkers offer substantial support and must be lifted to move. That requires upper body strength, which can be difficult for some to maintain on long trips.

• Rolling walkers: Rolling walkers are similar to standard walkers. But rolling walkers have wheels, either on the front only or on both sets of legs. They are somewhat less stable than standard walkers. Rolling walkers with wheel-locking devices may

Lord Howe Estates 54 Adirondack Drive, Ticonderoga, NY 12883 • (518) 585-6696

offer stability when needed. Some rolling walkers are called “rollators.”

• Wheelchairs: Standard wheelchairs must be powered by the person in the chair or by someone pushing it from behind. This can be difficult for people with minimal upper body strength. Mechanical wheelchairs are powered with a lever or button. Some people may opt for motorized scooters over bulkier wheelchairs when possible.

Assistive devices can be highly effective, but only when they are used properly and safely. Assistive devices should be measured for each user. Many walkers are height-adjustable. The width of a device also is important. A walker or another device that is too wide can affect mobility or require modifications to be made around the home. Weight is another consideration. The device should be lightweight so it can be maneuvered, but also weigh enough to provide enough stability to keep users upright.

Moses Circle

Users should proceed slowly and favor their stronger sides when relying on canes or walkers. Devices should not be used to climb atop other items like step stools.

Children should not be allowed to play with or ride on assistive devices. If there are safety belts or locks on any assistive technology, they should be put in place before use to prevent further injury. ■
