Managing the Stress of Chronic Illness As people continue to live longer, it’s hard to find a family not affected by chronic illness. While a person might fully recover from a sudden illness in a few days, chronic illness lingers – creating lasting stress and potential family conflict. Cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, are just some of the many medical conditions requiring patients and their families to adjust to medical, emotional and caregiving challenges. Understanding as much as possible about a new diagnosis, with the help of a medical team and family advocates, is a good first step. Doctors and family members may have good ideas about resources to access effective medical treatments, community resources and social support. People facing chronic illness are often worried about challenges to their independence. The question, “Will I be able to take care of myself?” is a difficult question for newly diagnosed people and their close family members to answer honestly. Chronic illnesses affect people differently, making them challenging situations to predict and plan for. A person’s natural desire to remain independent when faced with physical changes may suddenly be questioned by concerned family members. Yet to encourage a person’s sense of hope about the future, it is critical to find creative ways to maintain as much independence as possible. Maybe that might involve family members sharing turns transporting a chronically-ill relative to a favorite club or other cherished activity. Maintaining familiar routines can be a source of joy when faced with the uncertainty of a new illness.

847. 588.8420 ~ www.vniles.com

Identifying caregiver burnout is also an important area to address. While a spouse may say they are able to care for their partner round-the-clock, all people need respite from caregiving to stay emotionally and physically well. Keeping family communication open about ways to share caregiving responsibilities is important. Also exploring hiring in-home care may be an important part of keeping every family member healthy. The stress of a new diagnosis can feel overwhelming. If you, or a friend, have questions about how to cope better with chronic illness, or have questions about available community resources, please contact Melanie Amin, LCSW, Senior Social Work Coordinator at (847) 588-8420.

10 things to know about your new Medicare card 1. Your new card will automatically come to you. You don’t need to do anything as long as your address is up to date. If you need to update your address, visit your mySocial Security account. 2. Your new card will have a new Medicare Number that’s unique to you, instead of your Social Security Number. This will help to protect your identity. 3. Your Medicare coverage and benefits will stay the same. 4. Mailing takes time. Your card may arrive at a different time than your friend’s or neighbor’s. 5. Your new card is paper, which is easier for many providers to use and copy. 6. Once you get your new Medicare card, destroy your old Medicare card and start using your new card right away. 7. If you’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO), your Medicare Advantage Plan ID card is your main card for Medicare—you should still keep and use it whenever you need care. However, you also may be asked to show your new Medicare card, so you should carry this card too. 8. Doctors, other health care providers and facilities know it’s coming and will ask for your new Medicare card when you need care, so carry it with you. 9. Only give your new Medicare Number to doctors, pharmacists, other health care providers, your insurers, or people you trust to work with Medicare on your behalf. 10. If you forget your new card, you, your doctor or other health care provider may be able to look up your Medicare Number online.

Code of Conduct Participants are expected to maintain an accepted level of conduct and hygiene so as not to cause harm or distress to self or others. Disruptive behaviors that affect others will be immediately addressed and may call for immediate and/or permanent dismissal of the participant. Parking Vehicles must be parked in a designated space. If a parked vehicle is taking up more than one space, it is not an acceptable excuse for another operator to do the same. Drivers should be aware that spaces in prime locations tend to fill up quickly. Depending on your time of arrival, the outer lots may be the best choice for parking. Should the staff witness or be notified of any issues in the Senior Center lot, including locked cars with engines running, parking illegally in or next to a handicapped spot, fender benders, and/or observed difficulty with driving, the police will be called to respond.
