What is affordable housing? The Low Income Housing Tax Credit program is managed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Through the program, owners of multi-family homes designate as tax credit properties, to low-income residents for a reduced rent. Senior apartments that advertise the word ‘affordable’ are generally tax credit apartment communities. You will also often see the words “Income Limit Restrictions Apply" Each tax credit senior apartment community has different income requirements so it's important to ask when contacting them. These communities have many of the same amenities as the 55 & 62+ communities, some are resort style pool, movie theatre, library, exercise room, social activities.

• Never assume a driver sees you crossing the street.
• Be seen to be safe. Wear light or brightly colored clothing during the day. Wear reflective material on your clothing and carry a flashlight at night. Put lights on the front and back of your bike.
Try to make eye contact with drivers as they ap proach. Before you start to cross a street, make sure you have plenty of time to get across. Rushing in creases your risk of falling.
You’ve made a plan to be more active, and you’re ready to go outside and get started. But before you do, make sure that you can exercise safely in your neighborhood. Here are a few tips that can help you stay safe as you get moving.
• Let others know where you’re going and when you plan to be back.
• If possible, walk during daylight hours.
• Choose routes that are well-used, well-lit, and safe. Choose routes with places to sit in case you want to stop and rest.
• Look across ALL lanes you must cross and make sure each lane is clear before proceeding. Look left, right, and left again before crossing. Just because one driver stops, don’t presume drivers in other lanes will stop for you.
Staying Safe When Exercising Outdoors for Older Adults
• Check out city parks. Many parks have walking or jogging trails away from https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/exercising-outdoorstraffic.
• Always walk facing oncoming traffic.
• Stick to well-lit places with other people around.

Think Ahead About Safety.
• Carry your ID with emergency contact information and bring a small amount of cash and a cell phone with you, especially if walking alone. Stay alert by not talking on the phone as you walk and keeping the volume low on your headphones.
• Walk on a sidewalk or a path whenever possible. Watch out for uneven sidewalks, which are tripping
•hazards.Lookfor a smooth, stable surface alongside the road. Walk Safely in Urban Areas.
• If the road has guardrails, see if there’s a smooth, flat surface behind the barrier where you can walk. If you need to walk on a paved shoulder, stay as far away from traffic as possible.
• Watch for bridges and narrow shoulders.
• Wear sturdy, appropriate shoes for your activity that give you proper footing. Walk Safely in Rural Areas.
• Stay alert at all times. If you’re listening to music as you walk, turn down the volume so you can still hear bike bells and warnings from other walkers and run ners coming up behind you.
• Cross at crosswalks or intersections. Jaywalking in creases your risk of a serious accident. Pay attention to the traffic signal. Cross only when you have the pedestrian crossing signal.

“What am I going to do with all of the stuff I have accumulated over the years?”

Help the person get exercise each day, limit naps, and make sure the person gets enough rest at night. Being overly tired can increase late-afternoon and nighttime restlessness. 2. Plan activities that use more energy early in the day. For example, try bathing in the morning or having the largest family meal in the middle of the day. 3. Set a quiet, peaceful mood in the evening to help the person relax. Keep the lights low, try to reduce the noise levels, and play soothing music if he or she enjoys it. 4. Try to have the person go to bed at the same time each night. A bedtime routine, such as reading out loud, also may help. 5. Limit ca eine. 6. Use nightlights in the bedroom, hall, and bathroom.

Is my preventive care up to date? Your doctor can tell you if there are any tests you might need. For example, women over age 65 should be checked regularly for osteoporosis. 3. How does my health condition a ect my ability to exercise? Some health conditions can a ect your exercise routine. For example, people with arthritis may need to avoid some types of activity, especially when joints are swollen or in amed. Those with diabetes may need to adjust their daily schedule, meal plan, or medications when planning their activities. Your doctor can talk to you about any adjustments you need to make to ensure that you get the most out of your new exercise routine. https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/how-older-adults-can-get-started-exercise Are you considering adding exercise to your daily routine or signi cantly increasing your level of activity? Talk to your doctor about the exercises and physical activities that are best for you. During your appointment, you can ask:
1. Are there any exercises or activities I should avoid? Your doctor can make recommendations based on your health history, keeping in mind any recent surgeries or ongoing health conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, or heart disease. This would be a great time to check with your doctor about any unexplained symptoms you’ve been experiencing, such as chest pain or pressure, joint pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. Your doctor may recommend postponing exercise until the problem is diagnosed and treated.

Tips for Caregivers
Featured
Article
• It’s easy to get into a two-way con versation between the doctor and yourself—try not to do this. Always include both the person you care for and the doctor when you talk.
• If you live out of town, talk to the doctor about how you can keep up to date on the person’s health since you live out of town.
• Before the appointment, ask the per son and the other caregivers if they have any questions or concerns they would like you to bring up.

• Respect the person’s privacy, and leave the room when necessary.
• When the doctor asks a question, let the person answer unless you have been asked to do so.
As a caregiver, what do I need to know about my family member’s health and best practices when taking them to the doctor?
