Board Approves New Budget AAA Increases Funding For Meals On Wheels

At its June meeting the Senior Center Board of Directors approved a new budget for the year beginning July 1st, and late in July the Klamath Lake Counties Council On Aging (our local Area Agency On Aging (AAA)) granted additional funds to meet the ever growing demands of the Meals-OnWheels (MOW) program. With the new AAA funding the center anticipates overall revenue for the next year of $1,121,085.

AAA funding and other government funding generally require local matching contributions. The Center must raise $122,000 in matching funds for its meals and health promotion activities each year and more as the program expands. Information about donating is presented on page 3 of this publication.

The number of meals served by the Senior Center is expected to increase by more than 25% this year. The Center sites three factors that drive the significant increase in meals deliveries.

First, Klamath County has a higher proportion of seniors aged 65 or over than any other Oregon County. Second, the “baby boomers” are now being dubbed the “silver tsunami” – the fastest growing sector of the population. Third, the incidence of poverty stricken or low income households with older adults is significantly higher here than in most areas. The AAA and the Senior Center are working closely together in an attempt to meet increasing demands and avoid waiting lists for services.

Volunteerism plays a significant role is the Senior Center’s ability to meet the needs of our local older adults. According to Center auditors volunteers now provide as much as $300,000 of value in labor for the Center.

The Center is now working with a coalition of other agencies to develop a central volunteer program for the County.

Volunteers are increasingly hard to recruit so collectively coalition members hope to develop a more effective and efficient program to the benefit of all providers needing volunteers to serve the County’s older adults.

Senior Center Initiates Travel Training Program

Utililizing support from Federal transportation grants the Oregon Department of Transportation, Rail and Public Transit Division, awarded the Klamath Senior Center funding for a mobility management program to include a travel training program for those utilizing the center’s transportation program. This program is aimed at providing the center’s transportation patrons with support that may be needed to enhance the ability and confidence of riders in using both the center’s transportation services as well as other components of the larger area transportation services program to include use of services from other providers such as the Basin Transit Service (BTS) and the Klamath Tribe’s Quail Trail service.

The Klamath Senior Center operates six transportation vehicles and employs six drivers funded from multiple sources including United Way, local donations, fares, and substantial funding from Special Transportation Funds ( STF, cigarette tax dollars) and Federal Section 5310 funding from the Federal Department of Transportation. BTS operates a local transit service with fixed route buses and a para transit program known as Dial-A-Ride funded by a local tax base, STF and other government funding. The Tribe’s Quail Trail primarily provides inter community service throughout much of the County Starting July 1, 2018 the State of Oregon initiated a payroll tax to further support transportation services.

That additional funding will also be available to local providers of transportation services with planning for disbursement already underway for distribution in the Spring of 2019. BTS One of the Senior Center drivers, Selena Matthews, has been appointed to take the lead in implementing our driver training program. So if you use our services or are a new patron please welcome her efforts to assist you in better understanding the larger transportation services program offered by our community. Your participation is voluntary and offers many benefits. Selena will be available to offer personalized coaching and will even ride along with you if needed on a BTS bus to learn the schedules, fares and such things as how to use transfer privileges. A ten ride free bus pass (compliments of BTS) will be offered to all who participate in Selena’s training program.

Following is an excerpt from a report from the Transportation Research Board of The National Academies which summarizes the benefits and importance of travel training. Comments are welcomed from all interested persons about our programs. Please address them to Marc Kane, the director at the Klamath Senior Center.

Why Get Involved with Travel Training? * Travel training for older adults creates substantial benefits for individuals and organizations, and these benefits are significantly larger than the costs. In fact, the list of benefits is long and extensive. Individual travelers can realize increased mobility and independence. Public transportation providers, many of whom face severe resource constraints, can expect financial benefits. A large number of individuals could use travel training, and this number is expected to grow dramatically in the near future.

The benefits to the transit providers can also be quite substantial, as follows:

The numerous benefits travel training provides for individual travelers include the following:

Travel training programs typically create more capacity on paratransit vehicles for riders who have no other travel options than the paratransit services.

Increased tripmaking, both short term and long term, leading to enhanced mobility and independence.

Meals-On-Wheels Drivers and “runners” that partner with drivers are urgently needed to meet the expanding demands of the MOW program.

Improved travel attributes, such as greater flexibility with times of travel, no need to make advance reservations, and less dependence on family and friends for rides.

Interested persons are urged to contact the Senior Center for an application. Drivers are paid mileage and all volunteers receive appropriate training and support.

Personal development, such as increased confidence in travel abilities and more control over one’s own activities and schedule.

Quality of life improvements, such as aging in place, getting out more often, reduced isolation, and freedom to travel spontaneously, according to individual needs or desires.

Economic benefits, such as lower costs for riders and avoiding the costs of nursing homes.

There can be substantial cost savings to the transit agency or cost avoidance for the transit agency if travel training can encourage paratransit riders to use fixed route services instead of the paratransit services.

Travel training can benefit transit agencies by increasing the use of public transit and contributing to a mobility options philosophy (providing people with more options).

Travel training generates good will among transit’s funders with its emphasis on cost control and among transit’s consumers with its efforts to improve their mobility.

Benefits like these are likely to have even more relevance in the future. Census Bureau projections indicate that the number of adults age 65 and older will grow from about 40 million in 2011 (13 percent of the population) to about 87 million in 2050 (about 21 percent of the population). Increases in life expectancy mean that this growth in the older adult population will be even more dramatic for people age 85 and older. The population of oldest adults (85 years of age and older) in the United States will increase from about 5 million in 2011 (1.6 percent of the population) to about 18 million (4.5 percent of the population) in 2050. These projections suggest that concerns about the mobility of older adults could be even greater in the future.

What’s Your Gift?

By Sharon (Johnston) Pappas © What is YOUR gift We have at least one Something to share Before each day is done

Maybe it’s the gift of love Prayer, a kind word, a hug, or smile Always ready and willing To go that extra mile

Are you a helper, a fixer Do you teach or preach Making a difference In every life you reach

Do you quietly give A dollar or two Seeing a need You could help someone through

Look around… Look within There’s so much to do Open the gift…

That has been given to you!

The cabin was built In the forest so green.

The road leading to It was rugged and mean.

Inside was neat, and Had a wonderful smell.

It was warm and inviting.

It was grandpa’s I could tell.

When you got there Everything changed.

There were five little Cabins all neatly arranged.

Grandma and I went up to see Him on a Friday afternoon.

To bring supplies and to Listen to grandpa’s new tune.

They all had chimneys And a shake style roof.

I took some pictures, so I could bring back proof.

His guitar would sing, And so would he.

I loved to listen, and It made me feel happy!

The chimneys had smoke Curling upward to the sky.

The aroma was welcoming, and I think someone was baking a pie.

We brought with us a List of grandpa’s needs, Including adventure stories Considered good reads.

Grandpa’s cabin was the one on The end, facing the west.

They all looked the same, But grandpa’s was the best!

We spent the night, made breakfast, And came back the next day.

We stopped and saw the elk, and Went to the beach on our way.

What wonderful times, Those days were.

I can still see them vividly, They have not become a blurr!

The Missing Link: The New Frontier of Movement Improvement.

Maybe you haven’t even heard about fascia?

Fascia is the glue that holds us together. It packages everything. It holds our muscles and bones in place so we can move. What if fascia holds things in place too much, holding them hostage?

Tina Mahacek is presenting a new series of lessons on fascial release to allow bones to better align for movement improvement. As usual there will be fun and laughter while you learn these new skills.

Everyone needs exercise in order to function properly.

There are 7 classes every week. All classes are at the Senior Center. The program is the same for all seven classes, so you can choose the classes that best fit your schedule.

Mon. Wed. & Fri., - 8:45 to 9:45 Mon. Wed. Thurs. & Fri. - 10:15 to 11:15 Call me, Mary Noller for more information at 541-281-3810.

SHIP TALK

(Senior Health Insurance Program)

These past couple of columns I’ve discussed the new Medicare cards, possible fraud and fraud and abuse in particular. It seems the timely to finish up this line of thinking with information regarding billing mistakes in general. For my old readers we introduced this resource exactly two years ago, but for the new readers, it’s valuable information you may not have or know how to address– namely quality of care.

Did you know that Medicare will address this issue? To do so it contracts with an agency to handle a myriad of quality of care issues? The agency is called Livanta. This organization reviews hundreds of complaints each week from Medicare patients about the quality of care received from hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation facilities, home health agencies, hospices, ambulance companies, doctors, nurses, and other providers who receive Medicare funds. Livanta’s independent physician reviewer analyzes the complaint made, the medical records of the care in question and any other relevant documentation collected to determine if the standard of care was met.

Some examples of concerns may be: 1. You received the wrong medication 2. You received an infection while in the health care facility 3. Your condition changed and was not treated.

4. You received inadequate discharge instructions.

5. You were discharged too soon.

6. You were forced to stop care before you got all of your treatment 7. You received the wrong treatment.

8. You think the billing is in error.

One of the most compelling reasons for submitting a quality of care complaint is not only to address your own situation, but you might help improve care for all future Medicare patients of the involved provider.

Livanta can be reached at 1-877-588-1123 and service is free. If you decide to make a call, be sure and have your Medicare number, date of service, name of provider and other pertinent information with you. You can also go to the website at www.livanta.com. Just click on BFCCQIO in the upper right hand corner, then click into area 5, and choose Oregon.

Complaints should always be carefully considered and not made without good cause. However, it’s wise to be well informed and check out this valuable resource.

Finally, we urge you to call the Senior Center at 541-883-7171 to make an appointment to review your situation and see if we can help. The service is free and your information is private.

Many grow and harvest their own vegetables and forage for wild greens some of which they use for herbal tea. Both heated and unheated olive oil is used frequently on salads or vegetables. They consume small amounts of dairy, meat, fish and pasta, moderate amounts of wine and 2-3 cups/day of Turkish style, strong coffee.

What sets this area apart is the emphasis on potatoes, goat’s milk, wild foraged tea, legumes (especially garbanzo, black-eyed peas and lentils), lemon in everything and honey. They use honey to treat colds, insomnia and to heal wounds. And, because they live remotely, they’ve been able to resist a Western diet.

Other non-food focused behaviors that help to increase longevity are: • Ikarians eat slowly often with a large group of family and friends; • They nap at least five-days a week which decreases their risk of heart disease; • And, interestingly, an earlier research study found that Ikarian males between the ages of 65-85 were still having sex, meaning less stress that translates to healthier eating according to the researcher.

Perhaps by now, you are over all this Blue Zones talk. It hasn’t convinced you to make changes and, darn it, you just may be resisting. So, I’ll share my story to see if it resonates. From January through March this year, I had multiple digestive tract tests due to ongoing abdominal pain and heartburn.

Not surprising, most was related to aging, but what was found convinced me to further alter my diet. With a focus on legumes and occasional small amounts of salmon or chicken, I consume mostly vegetables in any form— raw, cooked, roasted (with olive oil), lots of salads with olive oil and lemon.

No beef, no bread or sugar in any form (well, at times I do cheat). I’ve lost 20 pounds although that was not my intention at the outset. More importantly, my abdominal and heartburn issues are erased. From another point of view, it is an alkaline vs acid approach.

If you’d like to meet with me for consultation on fitness and/or Blue Zones, please leave your name and phone number with the receptionist at the Senior Center.

Tips for Talking with Your Doctor

Bulletin

Article respectfully submitted by Klamath Hospice

The YMCA Wild West Show Senior Excursion

Effective doctor-patient communication is one of the keys to good health, but is not always easy. It will take time and effort on your part, as well as your physician’s.

Some suggestions to make the most out of your next doctor visit might include: • Keep a list of concerns in order of importance. Be willing to schedule a follow up appointment for concerns that are not able to be addressed during this visit.

• Write down a list of all medications, vitamins, and supplements that are currently being taken.

• Write down any important health and life changes since the last visit.

• Bring a trusted friend or family member for support. Sometimes this person will remember things that you may not.

• Take notes if necessary or ask your friend/family member to do so on your behalf.

• Be aware of how you can access your medical records in order to keep track of test results, diagnoses, treatment plans and medications in order to stay prepared for future appointments.

• If you are unclear regarding a diagnosis or treatment plan, ask questions.

Possible questions to ask your physician include: • What do my symptoms mean?

• What caused this condition?

• How serious is it?

• What are the best treatment options?

• Are there side effects of treatment?

• What is the short-term and long-term prognosis?

Good communication takes time and effort, but it is well worth the investment.
