Message from the Rock County Council on Aging … At the Rock County Council on Aging, we believe that Older Americans are a special resource. To be honored. To be recognized for their value to the community. Our mission is to help preserve the independence, self worth and dignity of older residents of Rock County. The Rock County Council on Aging is committed to addressing issues of health, nutrition, transportation, information & assistance, benefits counseling, caregiving, independent living, preventative health, elder abuse, and social needs. The Benefit Specialist helps older persons who are having a problem with their private or government benefits. Benefit Specialists are often called “red tape cutters” because they are experts in helping with the complicated paperwork that is often required in benefit programs. Benefit Specialists help with Medicare, Medicare Supplemental Insurance, Medicare Part D, Supplemental Security Income, Social Security, Homestead Tax Credit, Food Stamps, Veteran’s Administration Benefits and much more. Call 757 5414. The Rock County Golden Diners program offers hot, healthy, nutritionally balanced meals. The meals are designed by a registered dietitian to meet one third of the recommended dietary allowance. Participants are asked to contribute toward the cost of the meal. But there’s more to the story than just a well balanced meal. At the Golden Diners sites, friendship and fun are always included on the daily menu. To make reservations, call at least one day ahead, before 11:30 a.m., to 757-5474. Weekday meals are delivered to those who are home-

bound and unable to cook for themselves. Our Home Delivered Meals recipients, many of whom are frail and alone, appreciate the daily human contact they receive when the driver delivers their meal. For information on Home Delivered Meals, call 757-5474. Rock County Specialized Transit responds to the transportation needs of Rock County residents who are age 55 and older, or are disabled. Vans, which are lift equipped, are used to provide door to door service to all areas within Rock County, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 757-5054 to schedule a ride. Volunteer RIDES Drivers, using their own vehicles, provide transportation to medical appointments outside of Rock County, for instance Madison, Monroe or Rockford, IL. Call 757-5054 to make reservations. The National Family Caregiver Support Program is designed for family caregivers to give them information and assistance with their caregiving duties and a grant for temporary respite. For more information, call 758-8455. The Council on Aging also offers several evidencebased programs to improve health and provide a better quality of life. They include Powerful Tools for Caregiving, Living well with Chronic Conditions, Stepping On (a falls prevention program), and Healthy Eating for Successful Living.

How should a hospital run?

“I want to be treated like a customer.” At St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital we never forget that our patients aren’t just patients, they’re customers — and we work hard to deliver the healthcare experience they expect every day. Because for us a great community hospital is about more than a leading-edge facility and state-of-the-art equipment. It’s about treating our patients like individuals — with the compassion and respect they deserve. Tell us how you think a good hospital should run.
