Phase Two of Your Life

Realty Executives

e began focusing on senior’s real estate issues about 20 years ago when Jeanne and I were asked to speak at a senior community. There was a need for empathy and understanding of the issues older adults and their families face when transitioning from their long time home to a senior community. There was such a powerful response from those listening to our talk. We realized at that moment that this was our calling! Jeanne and I also felt a need to impact the lives of our clients in a powerful way, and working with our senior clients fit the bill! I decided to put my writing skills to work by authoring two books relating to the topic of preparing and downsizing a home of many years, selling a home, and moving to a senior apartment or community. We developed so many wonderful relationships throughout the 4-county Milwaukee-Metro area as our talks expanded to various senior communities. Jeanne and I then began to form a team of professionals dedicated to serving our senior population’s real estate needs such as contractors, handymen, packing and sorting companies, moving companies, staging and all the other services needed to help make their move a smooth and successful journey to their new home. About 13 years ago, I wrote my first article for 50 Plus Magazine and have been writing monthly articles ever since. I try to focus on real estate issues that are taking place in real

time that affect our 50 plus readers. The readership has grown over the years and I receive quite a bit of positive feedback from my readers thanking me for focusing on older adults and providing needed information.

I have had the honor to help educate my fellow Realtors by giving webinars, seminars, and collaborating with other agents who are also focusing their efforts or helping and guiding their clients through this tough transition.

Jeanne and I were recently honored by being a team finalist in the Better Business Ethics Awards for our efforts in working with our senior clients and their families.

We are constantly learning from our very wise elderly homeowners and developing new and better solutions to meet the demands and issues of those transitioning to a senior community.

Jeanne and I love what we do and know that in some small way we are impacting the lives of our seniors and their families in a positive way. We are given the gift of being a part of their lives at such a critical time in their lives. We could never have imagined that our real estate careers would be so fulfilling and gratifying. Thank you for reading my articles and the privilege of helping guide both you and your families through your real estate journey.

Delayed Retirement Credits

BY TOM MARGENAU

People who delay starting their Social Security beyond their full retirement age (currently age 66) get a bonus equal to twothirds of one percent added to their monthly Social Security checks for each month they wait to begin benefits. That comes out to a 32 percent if they wait until age 70. (There is no bonus added after age 70.)

The rules regarding this bonus cause lots of confusion with seniors. Today’s questions come from folks who are having trouble understanding this issue.

FYI: Even though I refer to this procedure as a delayed retirement “bonus,” (because, frankly, that’s what it is), the actual term the Social Security Administration uses for the same provision is “delayed retirement credits.” So if you are talking to an SSA rep about this, use their terminology. : I am about to turn 68 years old. I was planning to wait until age 70 to apply for my Social Security. But some family financial issues are causing me to rethink that plan. I was expecting to get a 32 percent bonus by waiting until age 70. Am I going to lose all of that by filing now? : It isn’t an “all or nothing” situation. You will lose some of your anticipated bonus, but not all of it. As I explained at the beginning of this column, you get a delayed retirement credit equal to two-thirds of one percent for each month you delay taking benefits after age 66. So if you file at age 68, you will get 24 months’ worth of credits, or about 16 percent, added to your full retirement rate. : I turned 69 in March 2016 and that is when I applied for my Social Security. I was expecting to get a 24 percent bonus added to my Social Security checks. But it was slightly less than that. When I called the Social Security people to ask why, they couldn’t explain it to me. They said it might be a “computer glitch.” Do you know what is going on? : It’s not really a computer glitch, but just a bit of an anomaly in the way these delayed retirement credits are doled out. You generally cannot get delayed retirement credits for a year until that year is over with. You said you were 69 in March of this year. If I am doing the math properly, that means you turned 66 in March 2013. So when applied for your benefits in March, they added in all the credits you were due for 2013, 2014, and 2015. But they can’t give you the delayed retirement credits for 2016 until next year. So sometime in 2017, you will get a little boost in your Social Security check to add in the credits you are due for those first couple of months this year. : I have been waiting until I am 70 to start my Social Security. I turn 70 on June 28. You previously told me that I could file my Social Security retirement claim now and that I should tell the Social Security clerk I want my benefits to start in June. But when I talked to a rep on the phone, he told me that if I wanted my full array of delayed retirement credits, I must wait until July to sign up. I want all the credits I can get. So should I wait until July?

Q A Q A

Q

ne xt

A

: No. You should call the Social Security people back and tell them you want your benefits to start in June.

As I said previously in this column, the rules say you get a delayed retirement credit of two thirds of one percent for each month you delay benefits after age 66. That comes out to a 32 percent increase if you wait until age 70. And the rules further say that you earn those credits up to the month before the month you reach age 70. In other words, the last DRC you will get is for May 2016. So you can and should ask for your benefits to begin in June. : I started my Social Security benefits when I was 70. I am getting $2,970 per month. My wife is 66 and never worked outside the home. So she is supposed to get half of my Social Security, or $1,485. But she is getting about $300 less than that. What is going on? : This is one of the Social Security provisions I’ve never understood. So I can explain it to people, but I can’t give the rationale behind the rule. And what that rule says is that a wife does not share in the delayed retirement bonus added to a retiree’s Social Security check. Her rate is based on your full retirement age benefit, not on the bonus-augmented Social Security rate you are actually getting.

Using my little desktop calculator, I’m guessing your full retirement age benefit rate is about $2,250. And half of that is $1,125, and I’ll bet that is what your wife is correctly getting from your Social Security account.

That’s the bad news. But pay attention to the answer to the next question for a bit of good news. : I’m trying to do some estate planning for my wife. I took my Social Security at age 70. I am now 84 years old.

I am getting $3,100 per month. My wife is 81. She gets her own Social Security check of $2,100 per month. If I die, what will she start getting from Social Security? : The “good news” I mentioned in my answer to the prior question is that the benefit rate payable to a widow includes the delayed retirement bonus. (Why a widow shares in the bonus but a wife doesn’t is something I can’t explain.) So if you were to die tomorrow, your wife would start getting $3,100 per month. Or to be more precise, she would keep getting her $2,100 retirement check, and then she would get an extra $1,000 on your account to take her total benefits up to your current $3,100 level.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Living Longer

BY CHUCK NORRIS

T

he proclamation couldn’t have been any clearer or the source more credible: “We are a nation of walkers.”

The statement, you may be surprised to learn, has no relation to the zombie apocalypse as seen on the most popular show on television. If it did, surely it would have been seen as more newsworthy and you would have heard about it by now.

They are words spoken by our surgeon general, Vivek Murthy, delivered in a keynote address at the second National Walking Summit, held this past October in Washington, D.C. The focus of the summit was the concept of walkable communities, and Murthy’s appeal to representatives from 44 states centered on the need to improve infrastructure in communities to make walking easier; about making sure that “everyone in America has a good shot at being healthy.”

Apparently, Johns Hopkins University’s Andrea Gielen’s comment last week about physical activity putting some folks in harm’s way is far too real a circumstance in this country. Several presentations at the summit graphically illustrated how historically depressed areas and current poverty zones have a strong correlation with low levels of walking opportunities and, in turn, high levels of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. People walking in the poorest one-third of urban census tracts are twice as likely to be killed by cars. It was also noted that, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the pedestrian fatality rate rises significantly for people age 45 and over.

Expanding the concept of walking as not only a way to improve public health but also a moral imperative to improve infrastructure for underserved communities seems to have been a major theme of the summit. There were also many encouraging trends to report. For example, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, since 2005, the number of Americans walking has increased 6 percent.

Walking, now referred to as “steps” in the exercise world, is starting to replace jogging as a preferred workout form, with up to 20 million Americans taking to sidewalks and trails. People are walking not just to improve overall health but to relieve stress and tension, as a group social activity, as well as a means to stimulate creative thinking. The American Heart Association believes it to be a trend that will stick, given it is free, simple, and manageable for most everyone who is ambulatory, including people who are older, overweight or new to exercise. It is the easiest way to make exercise part of life. To facilitate this growing trend, $1.5 billion has been allocated in recent years toward walking and biking improvements around the country.

That’s not even the best news or the strongest incentive to step out. According to a brand-new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a brisk 20-minute walk each day could be enough to reduce an individual’s risk of early death.

Just this 20-minute investment will burn between 90 to 110 calories and can move an individual from the inactive health category to moderately inactive, and that alone can reduce the risk of premature death up to 30 percent.

According to the Livestrong organization, there are more than 31 major health benefits achieved by walking as exercise.

They include everything from lowering body-fat percentage to toning your abs to decreasing lower back pain to reducing your risk of heart attack, stroke and glaucoma. This simple form of exercise can positively impact eight out of 10 of this country’s costliest health conditions. Walking can significantly reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Adults with diabetes who walk at least a mile each day are less than half as likely as inactive adults with diabetes to die.

Still, more than a few hurdles remain for us as a nation to reap these benefits.

Even with the allocations made in recent years around the country toward walking and biking improvements, they still account for less than 1 percent of overall transportation spending.

The federal government recommends that adults do a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity every week. Brisk walking qualifies. That adds up to 30 minutes, five times a week, or about 21 minutes of exercise every day. Currently, only 49.2 percent of Americans over age 18 are actually fulfilling this minimum aerobic requirement, which tells us that most Americans are clinically sedentary.

Americans continue to walk a lot less than people in other industrialized nations. A 2010 pedometer study found that Americans only walked an average of about 5,000 steps a day, with 1 mile representing approximately 2,000 steps. This is in the upper limit for a sedentary lifestyle. By comparison, Australians and the Swiss walk an average of almost 10,000 steps a day, and Japanese participants walk about 7,000 steps a day A study of 3,000 Australians covering 15 years showed that a sedentary person who increased his or her steps from 1,000 to 10,000 steps a day, seven days a week, reduced his or her mortality risk by 46 percent.

Want to live longer, enjoy life and improve your health? You simply must take the proper steps. It’s not that hard.

t Tudor Oaks Senior Living Community our comprehensive Wellness programs enable residents to engage in all aspects of wellness. As many people know, a holistic wellness lifestyle is good for your overall health. According to the International Council on Active Aging, “78% of mature adults know the benefits of exercising. However, only 40% participate nationwide.” Why is this? Common stereotypic attitudes about aging emerge as a result of widely held false beliefs about the aging process.

your life is critical to your quality of life as you age. Just as Tudor Oaks has embraced this philosophy, so have the residents, with 64% consistently active in Wellness Programs. Tudor Oaks offers a variety of over 30 classes per week that focus on the skills, muscles and activities essential to an active lifestyle, concentrating on improving balance, gait, flexibility, strength, and posture. If classes are not quite your speed, we also offer self-directed and individualized programming options. Our equipment, exercise selection, and exercise progressions are specialized for the aging adult. Remaining physically active is just one facet of the program but is key to engaging in the aspects of a holistic wellness lifestyle. If you have any questions give us a call at 414-529-0100 - and stop by Tudor Oaks to take a tour of our Wellness Center.

Information provided by Tudor Oaks Senior Living Community, Muskego, WI

Several of the misleading beliefs about aging are: • Aging affects everyone in the same way. The reality is that people age differently and at different rates depending on a number of factors.

• Aging cannot be altered or reversed. Today, we can slow down, prevent, postpone, or even reverse biomarkers of aging.

• People peak early in life then begin to decline. In point of fact, middle and later adulthood are prime times for developing the potential to remain healthy and active.

At Tudor Oaks we understand the realities of the aging process and have adopted a philosophy of bringing wellness to residents where they live, our community. With the reduction of household responsibilities and having your wellness resources under one roof, we eliminate two of the biggest reawned and operated by American Baptist Homes of the Midwest, a not-for-profit provider of senior housing and healthcare since 1930. sons people of all ages don’t stay active and fit: time and inconvenience.

Older Adults Shine as Volunteers

I

nterfaith Older Adult Programs is well-known for offering services to older adults in our community, such as providing rides to medical appointments, or helping with yardwork as the seasons change.

But for more than 35 years, Interfaith has also offered volunteer opportunities specifically for adults, age 55 and better, giving them a chance to share their wisdom and experience to positively impact our community. These exceptional volunteer initiatives are a part of Interfaith’s Senior Corps program: • Foster Grandparents tutor and mentor children 15 hours per week • Interfaith-MPS Tutors work with MPS elementary school students • Senior Ambassadors help older adults navigate local resources • Telephone Reassurance volunteers make safety check-in calls to isolated seniors • Volunteers for Veterans serve veterans and their families

“Because of our Senior Corps volunteers, our communities are changing for the better,” said Kristen Ruhl, Interfaith’s Director of Senior Corps Programs. “To each volunteer, I want to say that you make a measurable difference in the world around you.”

Volunteers are helping themselves, in addition to our community. According to an Interfaith survey, 95 percent of Senior Corps volunteers believe their volunteer activities have positively impacted their overall well-being.

If you are 55+ and want to join our dedicated volunteers, please contact us. Learn more on our website at interfaithmilw. org/volunteer, or call 414-220-8655.

Since 1975, Interfaith responds to the current physical and social challenges of aging by providing innovative programs, successful solutions, and the often much needed extra helping hand.

Senior Corps volunteer initiatives are supported at the federal level by the Corporation for National and Community Service. Learn more at interfaithmilw.org.

The Impact of Interfaith Volunteers

Interfaith’s Senior Corps staff are working together more closely than ever before, and the collective effort of our 55+ volunteers only has more room to grow. Their impact is seen every day, from the volunteer who delivers food to a homebound veteran, to the tutor who helps a child learn how to read, to the person who makes a phone call to check in on an isolated older adult.

Menus vary by the show and performance time, but are all served dinners except the Thursday Evening Signature Buffet and the Sunday Brunch Buffet.

Executive Chef Michael Scott and his staff use only the highest quality ingredients as everything from the soups and sauces to pastries and desserts are prepared from scratch in The Fireside kitchens.

The facility is fully accessible to guests with disabilities and there is plenty of safe, free parking on site. The Fireside’s performance

schedule includes seven shows weekly year-round with matinees on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, evening shows Thursday and Saturday, and a Midday show on Sunday. Friday matinees and evening shows are added in December.

Invest in your vision for retirement

Steps to Take Are you focused on a bright, clear future or a retirement clouded by poor vision? The picture may be up to you. “Up to 50% of all blindness in the U.S. is preventable— if people pursue prompt diagnosis and treatment,” notes Brett Rhode, MD. His partner at Eye Care Specialists, one of the state’s leading ophthalmology practices, Daniel Ferguson, MD, adds, “Planning and investing in regular eye check-ups can benefit your sight, attitude, freedom and bank account.” Daniel Paskowitz, MD, PhD, explains, “Age-related vision impairment is a leading cause of disability and nursing home placement. It creates increased expenses in terms of doctor visits, special transportation, medical supplies and services.” Vision loss also causes: difficulty doing tasks (cleaning, cooking, reading, seeing to take medicine, etc.); an increase in injuries, falls and car accidents; social issues (fear, withdrawal, depression, anger); and loss of freedom (to drive, shop, work, play, etc.)

Eye Care Specialists offers the following tips for seeing life to the fullest—now and in the future: ■ Schedule comprehensive, dilated eye exams every 2-4 years ages 40-64 and every 1-2 years age 65+ to check for cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions.

■ Talk to your doctor. Discuss your concerns.

Ask questions (see suggestions at right).

■ Follow surgery/treatment recommendations.

■ Be an informed partner in your own care.

Educate yourself. Read about disease symptoms and the latest diagnostic tools and treatment procedures.

For free booklets on the leading causes of visual problems during retirement, call 414-321-7035.

Questions to Ask

Mark Freedman, MD, urges people to be informed partners in their eye care by asking questions, like: ■ What is my visual acuity (on the 20/20 scale)?

■ Do I have any eye diseases or disorders?

■ What caused my condition? Is it hereditary?

■ How will this condition affect my vision

and lifestyle—now and in the future?

■ Should I watch for any particular

symptoms and notify you if they occur?

■ What kinds of tests do I need? Why? When?

■ What is the best medical/surgical treatment for me?

■ When will treatment start, and how long will it last?

■ What are the risks, side effects, benefits

and success rates of this treatment?

■ Are other treatments available?

■ Are there foods, drugs, or activities

I should avoid while I'm being treated?

■ If my treatment includes taking a medication,

what should I do if I miss a dose?

■ Will changing my diet, exercise or other lifestyle

habits help improve my condition? Would eyerelated vitamin & mineral supplements be helpful?

■ If my vision can’t be corrected, can you refer me

for low vision resources and rehabilitation services?

Becker Property Services

t Becker Property Services, LLC, we advise anyone planning to retire to plan ahead. Planning will allow you to make choices rather than have choices made for you. Planning will also permit you to make decisions and choices on your schedule, not someone else’s. Failure to plan is planning to fail. You don’t want to be forced into making choices and decisions about your life that you are not ready or prepared to make, so plan ahead.

Becker Property Services, LLC can help you find affordable senior housing. It is our job to develop and manage affordable housing for seniors, age 62 and older. We have developed nearly 100 buildings that provide affordable housing options for senior and disabled populations across the country, with a majority of those located in Wisconsin. Our company currently manages six apartment buildings in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties for senior citizens age 62 and older. These buildings are located in the communities of Cudahy, West Milwaukee, West Allis, and Waukesha.

Becker Property Services, LLC was initially established when Becker Consulting Services was organized and formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1984 by Joseph P. Becker. Prior to his private consulting activity in 1984, Joseph Becker was a HUD official for 15 years. His interest in providing housing consultant services stems from experience in planning, developing, operating, and administering housing programs for HUD clients.

In 1988, Kenneth Becker joined the Becker Consulting Services. Since 1988, Kenneth Becker has served as a consultant or co-consultant for numerous housing developments for senior and disabled populations. His interest in providing housing consultant services stems from his experience in banking and finance, and the awareness of the need to develop housing resources for low and moderate income persons, particularly for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and financially disadvantaged individuals.

It was in 2002 that Kenneth Becker formed Becker Property Services, LLC, which provides full service property management in addition to encompassing the consulting and development functions of Becker Consulting Services. Today, Becker Property Services provides a full array of consulting, development, and management services.

Becker Property Services, LLC manages buildings that are affordable, safe, secure, and barrier free.

True Comforts of Home

W

immer Communities Senior Residences have been around for a long time. In that time we have learned one thing for sure. Seniors want the true comforts of home. The Centennial in Oak Creek and The Silvernail in Pewaukee offer just that!

We’ve learned from our residents and guests that when it’s time to move to a senior community, the important factors are affordability without having to give up great amenities and a sense of home. We know it can be a tough transition from a home of 50+ years to a senior community, so we’re here to help through that transition. One of the greatest things about senior communities is that everyone is walking the same path of life as you! There is a real comfort in that alone.

At the Centennial and Silvernail, we focus on the residents and their needs as they age. What your needs are at the time of move-in may be different than what they are in 2 years, 5 years, 10 years down the line. We recognize this and work hard to continually meet your needs.

We offer the true comforts of home with our amenities, activities and exceptional neighborly feeling from the moment you walk in the door. We offer conveniences that make your life easier, which include our on-site chapel, country store, fitness room, salon, libraries, computer room, car wash area, wellness programs and van transportation grocery shopping and more!

ne xt

We also recognize the importance of fun! Our staff puts in hours of time each month planning and coordinating large and small activities with a wide range of interest – live entertainment, wii bowling, seasonal parties, bingo, to name just a few.

We offer outside trips such as theatre trips, sporting events, musical entertainment or wherever the residents choose to go!

Wellness is an important focus, too ~ whatever we can do to keep our seniors healthy, mentally and physically, is a great investment in our communities. You’ll regularly see podiatry services, hearing testing and hearing aid repairs, flu clinics and fitness classes on our monthly calendar and our newly staffed wellness clinic open 3 days a week!

We take great pride in the caring staff that oversees our communities – providing well managed and clean buildings, including 24/7 maintenance, activities and wellness programs, which collectively add enjoyment to your independent lifestyle!

We embrace the unique qualities our seniors offer making our communities interesting and exciting. We’re continually amazed at the talent and knowledge that our residents share.

We encourage it. We embrace it. We love it!

We’d love for you to find comfort in one of our communities. Please be our guest and visit us soon. We’d love to meet you! (See our ad below)
