Social Security Q&A McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Q: Is there a time limit on how long I can collect Social Security disability benefits? A: Your disability benefits will continue as long as your medical condition has not improved and you remain unable to work. Your case will be reviewed at regular intervals to make sure you are still disabled. If you still are receiving disability benefits when you reach full retirement age, we will automatically convert them to retirement benefits. See www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10153.html#6 for more information on disability. ———
Q: My mom is interested in getting help with her Medicare Part D prescription costs, but she has about $10,000 in the bank. Would she still be eligible? A: Based solely on the bank account balance you mention, yes. However, there are other factors to consider as well, including your mom’s income. If your mother has other resources, they may be included too. This year a person’s total resources are, in most cases, limited to $13,070 (or $26,120 if married and living with spouse) to qualify for Extra Help with Medicare prescription drug costs. The resource limits shown on the application include a $1,500 per person exclusion for burial purposes. Resources include the value of the things you own, such as real estate (other than the place you live), cash, bank accounts, stocks, bonds, and retirement accounts like IRAs or 401ks. There are exceptions, though. Read more about how to qualify and apply for the Extra Help at www.socialsecurity.gov/pre scriptionhelp/index.htm ——— Q: My mother receives Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. She may have
MOND A Y, J U L Y 2 , 2 0 1 2
to enter a nursing home later this year. How does this affect her SSI benefits? A: Moving to a nursing home can affect your mother’s SSI benefits, but it depends on the type of facility. In some cases, the SSI payment may be reduced or stopped. Whenever your mother enters or leaves a nursing home, assisted living facility, hospital, skilled nursing facility, or any other kind of institution, it is important that you tell Social Security. Call Social Security’s toll-free number, (800) 772-1213 (TTY [800] 325-0778). We can answer specific questions from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday-Friday. We also provide information by automated phone service 24 hours a day. This column was prepared by the Social Security Administration. For fast answers to specific Social Security questions, contact Social Security toll free at (800) 7721213.

When a pedicure becomes more than pampering For seniors, receiving foot care from a registered nurse may look like pampering, but it is more about health management By Mary Tatko
Of Target Publications
Clete Scharnhorst, 88, doesn’t look like your typical pedicure customer, but on a recent Wednesday at Clarkston’s Pautler Senior Center he made no objections to a foot soak, toenail trim and lotion rub. He and his wife, Mary Lou, 87, weren’t there for beauty treatments; they are participants in Aging and Long Term Care’s foot-clinic program that offers care to Asotin County residents ages 60 and older. Reta Newman, an information specialist at ALTC in Clarkston, said foot care isn’t a luxury. For people with diabetes, for example, filing back callouses helps keep feet functioning. “There’ve been a lot of doctors that have been referring (patients) to us,” she said. Sheila Brogdon, ALTC of Southeast Washington assistant director, in Yakima, said demand for the service is high. “It’s a very popular program, I tell you that,” Brogdon said. “And the program just continues to grow, although the funding hasn’t.” ALTC program coordinator Eliticia Sanchez, also based in Yakima, said she’s not sure of the program’s age, but knows it’s been operating in Asotin County at least since she started with the agency in 1997. Though a volunteer at the Clarkson ALTC office, Gena Kurth, manages files and sends out reminder postcards, the local program is administered through ALTC’s Yakima office, which oversees an eight-county area of southeastern Washington, including Asotin County. Edith Haber is one of two registered nurses who provide the foot-care service in Clarkston. She and Marcia Jacobs offer Monday and Wednesday appointments, made through the ALTC office in Clarkston. “Reta (Newman) takes care of that for us,” Haber said. “And boy is that ever a big help.” Haber buys supplies, such as lotions and creams, and submits the bill for reimbursement. The Pautler Senior Center allows the foot-care program use of a room for appointments and supply storage, free of charge. The foot-clinic nurses are paid through donations first, then with state and federal funds from the Senior Citizens Services Act and Older Americans Act, respectively. “The charge is strictly donations,” Haber said. “We do not charge.” “Nothing less than a 50 dollar bill,” Clete Scharnhorst said, laughing. He and Mary Lou, who live in Clarkston, have been foot-clinic clients for more than a year. “I don’t think a lot of people know about it,” she said.
Tribune/Steve Hanks
Edith Haber’s tool kit includes a wide varity of tools used during foot-care clinics offered twice a week at the Pautler Senior Center in Clarkston. “They do a wonderful job,” Clete Scharnhorst said, as Haber finished trimming his nails and began applying callus cream to his toes. As she applies lotion, Haber explained, she inspects the client’s feet and ankles for damaged skin, swelling – any sign of injury or disease. She takes the pedal pulse, felt on the top of the foot, to make sure circulation to the lower extremities is adequate. She makes a note if there’s something she wants to check again at the next appointment, which is usually six weeks to two months away, “depending on how fast their nails grow.” If the concern is more immediate, she’ll refer the client to a doctor. Haber estimates the clinic serves about 200 clients. “There’s just so many reasons why people can’t get down to their feet,” she said. Newman said in two satisfaction surveys conducted during the past six years, ALTC clients have always been appreciative of the foot-care service. “They don’t want it to go away,” she said. Haber advises people call their legislators to ask them to preserve Senior Citizens Act funding. In addition to foot care, ALTC’s programs include nutrition, case management, transportation and respite care. “We have to lobby every year in Olympia to try to get funding for these programs,” said Haber, who sits on ALTC’s advisory council. When Nez Perce County residents inquire about the
foot-care service, the ALTC staff refers them to private providers in Lewiston. “With funding constraints, we’ve had to restrict it to Asotin County (residents),” Newman said. One of the foot-care options for those in Nez Perce County is Happy Feet Toenail Trimming, operated by Sandie Haddox, a retired licensed practical nurse of 40 years, who charges $15 per appointment. Jody Alkire, a Lewiston cosmetologist, is the other foot-care provider to whom ALTC currently makes referrals. Alkire said her services start at $35 and vary according to the condition of the client’s feet. Throughout her career, one of Haddox’s duties as a nurse was to clip toenails; eventually she began offering the service once a month at area assisted-living centers. After retiring about eight years ago, she started the Happy Feet business out of her Lewiston Orchards home. “I decided, well, I’m sitting here twiddling my thumbs, getting fatter,” she said. Now she sees clients at her home and has an employee who goes into other people’s homes to provide in-home care. Her services are similar to those at the ALTC foot clinic: soaking feet, clipping and filing toenails, and “I give them a little foot rub – that’s what makes ‘happy feet.’ ” Like the nurses at ALTC’s clinic, she’s always on the lookout for red flags indicating possible health issues.

“It’s a very popular program, I tell you that,” — Sheila Brogdon, ATLC of Southeastern Washington assistant director, Yakima. “And the program just continues to grow, although funding hasn’t.” “That’s one of the reasons I soak their feet,” Haddox said. “In the process of drying their foot off, I’m looking to see if there’s anything that needs a doctor’s attention.” When she sees something concerning, she calls it to the client’s or caregiver’s attention. Haddox sees most of her clients about once a month. An appointment with a new client usually takes about half an hour; returning customers are in and out in 15 to 20 minutes. Providing affordable care was her motivation for starting Happy Feet, she said. “Most of them (her clients) are on fixed incomes. If you’re only getting $600 a month, $60 is a lot just to have someone clip your toenails,” she said. “It’s more of a service than a business.” Tatko can be contacted at mtatko@lmtribune.com or (208) 848-2244

Changes in ALTC staff Aging and Long Term Care’s Clarkston office has a new local program coordinator. Sherry Greenup, a former case manager for ALTC, started June 1. She succeeds Jane Clear, who retired April 30 after 17 years at ALTC. “It’s a shock when the time comes to lose someone who’s been there that long,” ALTC information specialist Reta Newman said of Clear’s retirement. “Sherry was a good fit because she already knows the personality of the office and the area. We’re grateful to have her.”

Symptoms of heat exhaustion are heavy sweating, faintness, dizziness, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, cool moist skin with goose bumps, pale or flushed skin, nausea and headache. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should stop activity; move to a cool, shaded area; loosen clothing; consume fluids and cool the skin with water. Fans aid in evaporation and improve cooling. Heatstroke is the most severe heat-related illness and occurs when heat stress overwhelms the body’s ability to maintain normal temperature. Signs of heatstroke are a temperature of more than 104 degrees; hot, dry skin; rapid heartbeat; rapid, shallow breathing; cessation of sweating; irritability; nausea; headache; confusion or loss of consciousness.

I only managed to catch two of the three games these teams end of the day’s matches, resulting in Neill obtaining an injury bowled before I had to go home and take a nap, so I can’t be sure and Palmer winning by default. Vollmer and Prouty played two there weren’t other standout moments, but all the bowlers have more doubles matches, winning one of the matches and losing my admiration. the other. The third event I was able to catch was the Idaho Veterans I must interject here that I always believed watching tennis Home “Walk & Roll,” which was held Thursday afternoon. It was relatively low impact, but my opinion changed after watch- was nice to see so many volunteers show up to help with this ing just the one match.

See Senior Talk, Page 20 When I arrived at Lancer Lanes in Clarkston I was very thankful that bowling was an indoor sport as it was hot outside and I imagined the air conditioning in the building would help energize me — Wrong! Oh, the air conditioning was great, but watching eight teams of bowlers roll those heavy balls down those long lanes was more activity than I ever believed it could be. These individuals who do these, well let’s just say it — extreme sports — are amazing. Yes, I know tennis and bowling are not what most consider extreme sports but when you’re doing them so actively at an age when a fall can be debilitating, that, to me, is extreme. Heck, I don’t have the energy in my fourties to watch them do it for very long, and to think there were people twice my age competing is astonishing to me. At the bowling alley, I didn’t get the opportunity 743-2471 to speak with any of the competitors, but I did write down their names and the team scores. I don’t know how old any of them were, but at any age there were some real standouts it seemed to me.

This is my seventh Senior Talk column and I have to say no other before it was more tiring or inspiring. The 2012 North Idaho Senior Games were held in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley during the third week of June, bringing with it seniors ages 50 and older from all over the Pacific Northwest to participate. There were 14 events for these seniors to compete in during the week and medals were awarded by age group. The WA-ID Volunteer Center oversees this annual event with the help of many volunteers from throughout the community. During the week I was able to break away from the office to attend three of the events and, to be honest, I’m not sure I would have had the energy for many more. The first event I attended was a commentary tennis match Wednesday morning at the Lewis-Clark State College Tennis Center where I watched two men in their seventies outplay two women in their fifties. My first thought when I saw Bill Prouty and Ernie Vollmer, both of Spokane, matched up against Diane Palmer and Mary Jane Neill, both of Pullman, was that it just didn’t seem fair to put these two older fellas who didn’t seem to move very fast on the court with these two very fit and spry women. I was certain that defeat was in the guys’ future. Much to my shock though, that is not at all the way it went down. Prouty and Vollmer move much quicker when they are faced with flying tennis balls coming at them. And their reaction time is much faster when they hold a tennis racket in their hands. As it turned out, the men defeated the women 6-3, 6-2. The ladies revived themselves later in the day with Neill win-

He then became a partner at MacIntosh Veterinary Clinic in north Lewiston and used his knowledge to be personal vet to Ahmed the Shriners’ camel for many years. He said he is one of the few camel vets in the state of Idaho, but admits much of his knowledge came from asking a few zoo vets for advice.

He has five children, seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Hobbies: He is active at Orchards Community Church, where he has held many positions through the years. He enjoys hunting, fishing and traveling. Bryant told the Tribune: “I thought, well the community supported me over the years, so I wanted to give back some of my time. But it can snowball on ya! But I try to force myself not to stay at home too much.” When asked his favorite part of volunteering, He replied “Just the satisfaction of paying back, ya know, to the community that really supported me over the years.”

I have been wearing hearing aids for over twenty five years and have been to numerous specialists in this regard. Miracle Ear and specifically, Mark Banks has been the best that I have been to in all this time. Being border-line legally deaf, it has been a real task to find a devise that works for me. However, Mark has been tenacious in the pursuit of a solution to my problem. Because of his professionalism, patience, and knowledge of his craft, we have reached that goal. I have recommended Miracle Ear, and specifically Mark Banks to several of my friends who have hearing problems, and I know that they will be as satisfied as I am with the results. 1927 Idaho Street, Lewiston

EVANSTON, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Music training has a lifelong impact on the aging process, according to a new study out of Northwestern University. Researchers in the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern measured the automatic brain responses musicians of all ages and non-musicians to speech sounds. Researchers discovered that older musicians had a distinct neural timing advantage. Researchers concluded that age-related delays in neural timing are not inevitable and can be offset with musical training. The data, with recent animal data from other research centers suggests intensive training even late in life could improve speech processing in older adults and improve their ability to communicate in complex, noisy acoustic environments, said Don Caspary, a researcher on age-related hearing loss at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.
