Introducing ABQ Seniors Out ‘n About, a FREE products, services and event guide for Active Seniors!

Thank you for reading ABQ Seniors Out ‘n About!

This publication was born out of multiple interests and experiences with seniors and the baby boomer population. I worked in the assisted living industry for 10 years and when my oldest son was born, he had a total of 20 grandparents, yes 20! Working on the assisted living side, I worked with families who were faced with health care decisions, often in an emergency, and had no idea where to start. With the multiple sets of grandparents, I saw a wide range of age and ability and often found truth in the saying that we don’t stop doing things because we age, we age because we stop doing things. Age means many different things for many different people. Some baby boomers are raising their grandchildren, some are sailing off on Alaskan cruises, and some are battling health care issues.

My mission with this publication is to provide consumers a meaningful resource directory filled with resources for all ages and all abilities. I know that this will be an effective resource for you for many years to come and in order to provide you with the highest Our concept is simple: level of service, I will continue to grow and expand the available Fast answers for our readers resources.

AGING

With Vitality, Grace & Confidence

It’s one of the great ironies

of life: Your rewards for surviving the tumultuous teen years, establishing a career and nurturing a family culminates in dry skin, a thickening waist and too many moments peppered with “Now, where did I leave those car keys?” “You know...that time of your life that seemed so far away when viewed from a distance.

As the calendar pages keep turning, you may find yourself greeting this new phase of life with mixed feedlings: a sense of accomplishment, sure, but perhaps also apprehension for the unknown and even surprise from unanticipated changes.

“With age comes wisdom and experience, but it can also include new and unexpected signs of growing older that can impact your body and life,” said Barbara Hannah Grufferman, positive aging expert and author of the best-selling book “The Best of Everything After 50.”

Fortunately, in many regards, age is but a state of mind. With these practical tips, you can glide into the future with vitality, grace and confidence.

Make your physical wellness a priority.

For decades, you’ve heard admonishments about taking proper care of your body: eating right, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking and excess drinking, and getting plenty of rest. If you ignored that advice, remember this: It’s never too late to introduce healthier habits. taking care of your body will help ensure that have the physical stamina to continue enjoying your favorite activites and will give you the best shot at keeping your health condition optimal.

Embrace confidence boosters

Change is at the very heart of midlife, and most of us can come to acknowledge, even appreciate, how life has a way of evolving. But changes can sometimes cause confidence to lag, especially when it’s your body that’s changing.

One common confidence breaker: a sensitive bladder. A recent survey

by Always Discreet found that women with sensitive bladders feel less confident than those who don’t experience leaks, in certain situations like traveling long distances, or being in an unknown or unfamiliar area.

However, you don’t have to let sensitive bladder stand in the way of living your life. A full line of bladder leak protection products provide women incredible comfort, protection, discretion and odor control. To learn more visit AlwaysDiscreet.com.

Medicare

Open Enrollment 101

E

Know your options and get free help.

As autumn progresses, it’s important to keep your health in mind. Medicare’s fall open enrollment period will allow you to review your plan options.

Maybe you have a new prescription that is not covered by your current drug plan or you have a new health condition. To ensure you get the most from Medicare in 2017, you should research your Medicare plan options during Medicare open enrollment.

Open enrollment begins Oct. 15 and closes Dec. 7. Changes made during this time will take effect on Jan. 1, 2017.

During open enrollment, you can: • Adjust Medicare Advantage or Medicare prescription drug coverage.

• Change from original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan (or vice versa).

• Switch between Medicare Advantage plans.

• Join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.

• Switch existing drug plans or drop Medicare prescription drug coverage.

If you’re unsure where to start, your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) can help.

SHIPs offer free one-on-one assistance year-round to Medicare-eligible beneficiaries, their families and caregivers. Trained counselors in your area can help with understanding Medicare benefits and the enrollment process. Assistance is personalized, so SHIP counselors can help you find available options that fit your unique situation.

The program – funded by the Administration for Community Living, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – provides services in every state. Learn more at ACL.gov.
