A: After you have received disability benefits for 24 months, we will automatically enroll you in Medicare. We start counting the 24 months from the month you were entitled to receive disability, not the month when you received your first benefit payment. Sometimes you can get state Medicaid in the meantime. There are exceptions to this rule. People with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and chronic renal disease may be able to get Medicare earlier.

A trip to the beauty parlor feels good Women and men at area assisted-living sites enjoy getting their hair done

By Mary Tatko

Of Target Publications

When Sharon Clizer asked fellow Beta Sigma Phi sorority members to donate bottles of nail polish for the residents at Preferred Care Adult Family home in Clarkston, she hoped some of the service organization’s members might have a few to spare. When all was said and done, members of the Laureate Beta chapter had donated more than 400 bottles.

It was a gift of beauty, and so much more.

Preferred Care’s owner, Mary Ann Garges, beamed as resident Melba Hodges, 95, modestly extended an expertly manicured hand so her petal-pink nails — her own, not artificial — could be admired by visitors recently.

“Those hands could probably tell a lot of stories,” Garges said.

“I was a farmer’s wife,” Hodges said, recalling days when she would dress 200 chickens. “I could never have nice nails.”

Pampering is well deserved and often long overdue for the residents, Garges said: “Our motto is, ‘If not now, when?’ ” Earlier that morning, Clizer had arranged Hodges’ snow-white hair in a simple style that managed to be both classic and current, and suited her vibrant personality. “I always kept it curled,” Hodges said. “Since I’ve been here, I’m tickled to have her fix it.”

Equally important as feeling pretty and put-together, socializing with Clizer is something to look forward to each week. “It’s worth a lot, I think,” Hodges said. “I feel like she’s an old friend.”

Clizer comes to Preferred Care to do hair and nails every Wednesday, and this week she also was planning a Saturday visit to style Margaret Wolf ’s hair for her 90th birthday party. “It’s wonderful,” Wolf, a retired teacher, said of her weekly beauty regimen.

“It’s a real treat for me,” she explained as Clizer applied a coat of polish to her nails. “I remember the years when I got my hair done twice a year — to get a perm.”

Clizer, 69, became a certified nursing assistant at age 66 when she partnered with Garges to start Preferred Care. She left her administrative duties there to take a job as director of religious education at Holy Family Catholic Parish in Clarkston. “But I couldn’t give up the hair,” she said.

Caregiver Margaret Cole appreciates Clizer’s dedication to the residents. “She really does a nice job,” Cole said.

For the last 14 years, Jan Olson has been the hair-

Sharon Clizer paints the nails of Margaret Wolf, 90, of Pomeroy after giving her a shampoo at Preferred Care in Clarkston.

“I think it’s fundamental to all of us to feel pretty and have that attention.”

— Sarah Yoder, administrator at the Idaho State Veterans Home

“What would the beauty shop be without a little gossip here and there.”

— Jan Olson, hairdresser at Emeritus at Juniper Meadows

Emeritus at Juniper Meadows executive director Darce Tribune/ Vassar sees the salon both Barry Kough as a practical service and an enhancement to the residents’ day-to-day lives. “It’s one of your outings,” she said.

“Outings” for salon services aren’t appreciated only by women.

alk It seems that when so many of us are letting technology do most of our communicating, the camaraderie can get lost in translation.

That is why I went in search of a place free from tweets and cellphone ringers, to have lunch with a group who prefers human contact to Facebook updates.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about the Senior Roundtable at the Pautler Senior Center in Clarkston. It was Friday, which at the Roundtable means the premier salad bar mixed with an extra half hour or so of time spent with friends.

Pat Sargent, who manages the local program, comes out to the dining area as the masses arrive.

Sargent greets each table, making the rounds, saying hello and getting razzed by a few of the patrons, which she gives right back.

As I walked from table to table with her, I saw a few familiar faces and meet lots of new ones. Each one welcoming and happy to be right where they were â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sharing a meal with new and old friends.

Fridays are busy for the Senior Roundtable, as many seniors really enjoy the salad bar, which could be lost due to budget issues. This particular Friday, there were 139 folks having lunch at the center. Sargent tries to make it fair by rolling dice for the order in which the tables will eat. But this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just make it fair, it adds a level of fun. As she rolled the dice, individuals in the crowd called out the numbers of the tables they were sitting at hoping they

Let the dice roll friends and family membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; voices because we tweet, text, email and communicate through social media like Facebook and Google-plus. All the while there is a whole group of society who long for that personal connection: hearing voices, seeing faces, being in the same room with others just like them.

The Senior Roundtable doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just provide area seniors with a place to catch up with friends, it provides them with a nutritious meal three times a week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a meal they otherwise may not get, for any one COMMENTARY of several reasons, from not being able to afford it to simply not wanting to cook for one. The individuals who come to the lunches at the center do so with gratitude for all this program has given to them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fellowship, entertainment, good food would be next. and a crew of individuals who work I sat with a group and discussed hard to make sure that each experitheir favorite parts of coming to ence they have at the Roundtable is lunch at the center a great one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do dishes,â&#x20AC;? one man said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to ď ˇ Hayden can be contacted at ďŹ x it,â&#x20AC;?

Behler is a widower and tries to keep himself busy with daily activities.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny when you think about how many of us are in constant communication with the outside world, yet we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often see those with whom we are communicating.
