Aloha and welcome Senior Fair attendees! M

aintaining a sense of purpose in life helps each of us make the most of every day and actually enjoy a richer, longer life. The theme for the 45th Annual Senior Fair is: “Engage at Every Age!” Older Adults in Maui County remain integral to the overall health of our community, and the annual Senior Fair is one place where individuals of all ages can learn of new ways to make a difference in the lives of others. Some of the benefits of engagement include better physical health, improved cognitive functioning and mental health, less loneliness, and an increased sense of belonging. Staying engaged—or reengaging—does not have to be a difficult task. Engagement could be as simple as sitting on your front porch and sharing aloha with

those you may see. One of my favorite times is when I see the familiar sight of one of our community kupuna, who is known as “Mr. Aloha,” wearing his colorful clothing and offering cheerful greetings. He often sits outside waving to those who pass by with a huge smile on his face, and it is impossible not to return a heartfelt smile. If you know of the gentleman to which I refer, no doubt you find yourself smiling now! To “Engage at Every Age” can be as simple or complex as each of us choose. This year as you move amongst the crowds the Senior Fair will undoubtedly bring together, once again remain mindful of the many booths dedicated to helping individuals find ways to remain healthy and contribute to others and the community as a

whole. No matter where each of us is on the spectrum of age, we will find information relevant to improving our overall health, remaining fully engaged in life, providing ways to increase civic engagement, and contributing to our families. This is each of our opportunity to boost our ability and determination to “Engage at Every Age.” Maui County Office on Aging once again wishes to acknowledge Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc. for producing this event. The dedication and commitment of MEO staff members help make the Annual Senior Fair a memorable and pleasant experience for each one of us. I am excited to engage with you all! – Deborah Stone-Walls Maui County Executive on Aging

A person-centered approach

By REUBEN IGNACIO Case Manager

eeting with kupuna and their caregiver(s) in the home is part of my daily job. By providing simple, but invaluable services such as Meals on Wheels, transportation and assistance with bathing, kupuna are allowed to continue living at home independently and in a familiar environment, which keeps them both happy and safe. I’m seeing the value of

sharing and educating caregivers to think about taking care of loved ones using a ‘person-centered’ approach. In this context, personcentered means doing things to help their loved one stay safe (e.g. installing shower grab bars, a ramp, removing throw rugs) and healthy (e.g. managing necessary medications, watching over the food being eaten). Person-centered may also mean doing things to keep their loved one happy, which

might be a car ride along the beach, playing a round of hanafuda or having an occasional hamburger. Instead of thinking only about ‘fixes’ to keep them safe, think about what makes them happy as well. Learn how to balance what keeps them both safe and happy. I’d like to share a story of my visit with a kupuna during the summer: I met with Setsuko and her caregiver daughter-in-law, Gladys. Gladys was very

proud of the work her husband did in the house to accommodate Setsuko, who used a walker extensively. Setsuko had a bed lowered to the ground, a toilet raised higher and a shower with a ramp, bars and chair. While proudly showing me the bathroom, Gladys said, “She is so stubborn, she always leaves her walker outside of the bathroom when she goes shi-shi. It’s not that she forgets, she just refuses. So now we have

to build a bar along the bathroom wall.” I commended Gladys on the great work she and her husband did and the importance of keeping Setsuko safe. (Gladys nodded.) I then said, “Also know there is a difference between what’s important for Setsuko in keeping her safe, and what’s important to Setsuko, which is what makes her happy.” I told her that maybe one reason Setsuko refuses to use her walker in the bathroom is that, for that short time, she feels free and independent

from the confines of her walker. That makes her feel in some control, and that is important to Setsuko. Gladys nodded again, but this time I could see in Gladys’ eyes that she was taking in what I had said. Gladys said she wanted to think more before installing the bar, because they love Setsuko and want her to feel as happy and independent as possible.

Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc.

Community action at its brightest and best By DEBBIE CABEBE MEO Chief Executive Officer EO is a Community Action Agency established in 1965 under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. MEO operates under the National Community Action Network Theory of Change. Community Action provides individuals with low incomes support and tools to achieve stability and economic security, ensures communities where people with low incomes live are healthy and offer economic opportunity, and people with low incomes are engaged and active in building opportunities in communities. Guided by the Community Action Core Principles, MEO recognizes the complexity of the issues of poverty, builds local solutions specific to local needs, supports family stability as a foundation for economic security, pursues positive individual, family and community level change, maximizes involvement of people with low-incomes, engages local community partners and citizens in community solutions, leverages state, federal and community resources and advocates for systematic change. As the sole Maui County non-profit dedicated to comprehensively serving those in poverty, we see poverty each

and every day in the faces of the keiki, youth, kupuna, disabled, disenfranchised, immigrants and families that we serve. The days are long and the work is arduous; the war on poverty is never ending. MEO’s core funding comes from a Community Service Block Grant. The federal funds are passed on to the state and are allocated to designated Community Action Agencies (CAAs) based on the poverty level in each county. In the State of Hawai‘i there are four CAAs: Hawai‘i County Economic Opportunity Council on Hawai‘i Island, Honolulu Community Action Program on Oahu, Kauai Economic Opportunity on Kauai and Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc. on Maui Island, supporting all of Maui County. A bedrock principle of Community Action is that resources of all kinds need to

be integrated so they can be used in combination to solve community and individual problems. MEO leverages federal, state, county and community resources to fulfill its mission, managing numerous public and private resources annually, touching more than 56,000 lives in this past fiscal year. MEO staff goes into the community and to other government sources to bring in not only leveraged funds, but also hundreds of local volunteers. MEO has been “helping people ... changing lives” for 53 years and is an articulate advocate for those whose voices are often not heard — the elderly, disabled, immigrants, youth, offenders and the economically disadvantaged. MEO provides tools to help people and change lives

members of the National Council of Senior Citizens, “Senior Citizens Month” was created to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older individuals to our country each May. Since President Kennedy, every President has issued a formal proclamation requesting that the entire country pay tribute in some way to older persons in their communities. Now known as “Older Americans Month,” it is celebrated across the country through ceremonies such as the Outstanding Older Americans, events, fairs and other similar activities every May. On Maui, this event dates back to 1968, when Wendell Crockett was awarded the prestigious award of Outstanding Older American for Maui County. Since its inception, there have been 99 award recipients, including last year’s winners, Yaemi Yogi and Cornelis Feenstra. The Maui County Office on Aging would like to make a special mahalo to our judges David Spicer, Lois Prey and Doreen Forsberg.

Planning ahead to engage others By STACEY CASCO Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i ach year, I meet hundreds of older adults at community events, nursing care facilities and in their homes. Some are still active and full of boundless energy. Others are just coming to terms with declining health and bank accounts. Many are caring for loved ones. Regardless of where you are in life, now is the perfect time to start planning ahead to engage others. As a paralegal and notary public for the Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i, planning ahead to engage others includes having an Advance Health Care Directive and

Stacey Casco Uniform Durable Power of Attorney. These documents enable you to authorize someone, often called an agent, to act on your behalf should you no longer be able to do so. According to the National Association of States United for Aging and Disability:

$0 PREMIUM! ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH

✦ The lifetime probability of becoming disabled or cognitively impaired is 68 percent. ✦ 18.1 percent of seniors live alone. ✦ By 2030, many retirees will not have enough income and assets to cover care expenses. Unfortunately, many people avoid or delay advance directives until it is too late. I am frequently called to meet seniors at their bedside, when legal authorization is required to make medical decisions, obtain insurance coverage or manage finances. Some seniors are sometimes too ill to comprehend or properly execute a legal document. When this happens, important decisions

are delayed and resources are not available to meet basic needs. Advance Health Care Directive and Uniform Durable Power of Attorney documents are tools that can help engage others when you need those most. You still retain authority to make your own decisions while you have the capacity to do so,

but having an agent available to help you can make things easier and less stressful. Be sure to think carefully about who you can trust to follow your instructions and act in your best interest. You don’t have to leave important decisions to chance. You can determine your destiny. With support from Maui County Office on Aging and

Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i, I am here to help answer any questions you may have about these documents. Seniors age 60 and older are eligible for my assistance, regardless of assets or income. There is no charge for our services, but voluntary contributions are welcome. Call our senior hotline at (888) 536-0011 today.

Some benefits of GROWING OLDER any people are quick to think of growing older in a negative light. Although there certainly are some side effects of aging that one may wish to avoid, people may find that the benefits of growing older outweigh the negatives. Seniors are a rapidly growing segment of the population. In the United States, the Administration on Aging states that the older population — persons 65 years or older — numbered 46.2 million in 2014 (the latest year for which data is available). Statistics Canada reports that, in July 2015, estimates indicated that there were more persons aged 65 years and older in Canada than children aged 0 to 14 years for the first time in the country’s history. Nearly one in six Canadians (16.1 percent) was at least 65 years old. With so many people living longer, it’s time to celebrate the perks of getting older rather than the drawbacks. Here are some great benefits to growing old. ✦ Higher self-esteem: The insecurities of youth give way as one ages, and older people have less negativity and higher self-esteem. A University of Basel study of people ranging in ages from 18 to 89 found that regardless of demographic and social status, the older one gets the higher self-esteem climbs. Qualities like self-control and altruism can contribute to happiness. ✦ Financial perks: Seniors are entitled to discounts on meals, museum entry fees, movies, and other entertainment if they’re willing to disclose their ages. Discounts are available through an array of venues if one speaks up. Seniors also can enjoy travel perks, with slashed prices on resorts, plane tickets and more. ✦ Reasoning and problem-solving skills: Brain scans reveal that older adults are more likely to use both hemispheres of their brains simultaneously — something called bilateralization. This can sharpen reasoning skills. For example, in a University of Illinois study, older air traffic controllers excelled at their cognitively taxing jobs, despite some losses in short-term

memory and visual spatial processing. Older controllers proved to be experts at navigating, juggling multiple aircrafts simultaneously and avoiding collisions. ✦ Less stress: As people grow older, they are able to differentiate their needs from wants and focus on more important goals. This can alleviate worry over things that are beyond one’s control. Seniors may realize how little the opinions of others truly mean in the larger picture, thereby feeling less stress about what others think of them. Growing older may involve gray hair or wrinkling skin, but there are many positive things associated with aging.

You’re doing something!’ ” Ginny says. “Now doctors and physical therapists both are encouraging people to come to the class.” Not only does EnhanceFitness have a positive effect on people’s physical health, but it also helps to strengthen their brain and overall wellbeing. “We do a lot of exercises that are not only physically stimulating, but also are mentally stimulating — the two work hand in hand,” Ginny says. “Once you’re moving around, it gives you more energy, you’re feeling better and you’re happier.” In addition, those who gather for EnhanceFitness have developed a sense of community and camaraderie.

“It’s like watching flowers bloom, like watching a garden grow.” – Ginny Kiick “Some of them started taking line dancing, and they’ll go out to dinner and go out to the fair together,” Ginny says. “If somebody’s been gone for a while, someone will call them to see what’s going on. There’s a real sense of family. They’re really tight. “It’s been beautiful watching the friendships grow,” she adds. “Someone might be shy when they start and it takes a while, but after a while they get in there. It’s a really beautiful program.”

“I’ve met a lot of new friends,” June says. “We go a little early and we chat about all kinds of things.” Ginny encourages seniors who are looking for a way to exercise and strengthen their bodies to consider joining EnhanceFitness. “It’s fun and it’s not intimidating,” Ginny says. “People may feel uncomfortable to go into a gym. A lot of people have never really exercised, so it’s a little intimidating. But the class is not hard and it’s not threatening.

Everybody tries their best and nobody’s judging anybody else. “When people come, they see they’re feeling better, they’re having fun, they’re making friends, they have something to do and they know it’s going to be a positive experience,” she adds. “I don’t see anybody frowning in there. They’re happy and they’re having fun. They’re doing good things for their bodies and they know it because they see the results.”

Hale Makua Health Services

Planning for Maui’s senior population aui County’s Baby Boomer population, individuals ages 65 and older, is expected to grow by 25,282 or 92% from 2016 to 2045, according to the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism 2017 report. This “tsunami” of seniors will dramatically increase the need and demand for senior services. With a national shift in demand from costly, institutional care to more home- and communitybased care, providing Maui’s seniors with convenient, affordable access to recreational and social activities, as well as convenient health care options to allow seniors to gracefully age in place, is a priority for Hale Makua Health Services and Maui County. In an effort to address the future needs of Maui’s

seniors, HMHS has been working with the county to envision a centrally located senior community that efficiently and economically meets the needs of Maui’s growing population of individuals aged 65 and older. On October 5, 2018, the Maui Council County adopted a resolution authorizing the grant of a lease of 7.4 acres of county property within the Kahului Community Center Park to HMHS for a term of 75 years and a resolution urging the mayor to develop a master plan for the full Kahului Community Center Park space in coordination with HMHS. The master plan would be used to guide the expansion of existing and creation of new programs and facilities, including services, senior and inter-generational recreational activities, and a

new county senior center, with assisted transportation, dining and volunteer programs. The adoption of these two resolutions are vital to moving forward with creating a vibrant senior living community for Maui residents, which will enable seniors to live independently for as long as possible and age in place in the community, rather than an institution. About Hale Makua Health Services Hale Makua Health Services is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, established in 1946 to provide a home for elders who had no one to care for them or means to pay for care. It is the only Eden Alternative registered home in the state of Hawaii, and is one of Maui’s largest non-government employers. Over 450 employees serve two

As a low-income resident, she has been utilizing MEO transportation for more than 40 years. Currently Aunty Tiny catches the bus several times a week to go to doctor appointments, do her shopping and other errands. She previously rode the bus to Kaunoa a couple of times a week too, but she says she’s getting old and tired and is slowing down. She turns 80 in December. She says that she loves all of the MEO bus drivers and everyone at MEO, but she has her favorites who take extra care of her. MEO staff loves Aunty Tiny too! Community members like Aunty Tiny make the hard work of Community Action worth it.

Counselors will review your best plan options based on the information that you give them. Making smart choices today can help you save money on rising healthcare costs in the future.
