Alertline of Beloit Health System First to Become Dementia Friendly Program in Beloit
T
he AlertLine of Beloit Health in conjunction with the Dementia Friendly Initiatives of Rock County completed the criteria to earn the designation of being dementia friendly, becoming the first group to do so in Beloit. These efforts were rewarded recently by the delivery of the Purple Angel Sticker to AlertLine Coordinator Judy Simonds. Recently almost 100% of the AlertLine volunteers attended a Dementia Friendly Training taught by Cori Marsh, Dementia Care Specialist at the ADRC of Rock County. What this means is the AlertLine of Beloit Health System has committed to providing care to those with dementia by learning more about recognizing the disease, communicating with someone who may have dementia and being able to direct anyone with questions to community
resources. Judy Simonds said, “I heard about this program and immediately thought this was something we should do for our volunteers, in turn our volunteers showed how important working with those with dementia was by voluntarily attending the training.” Marsh says, “People with dementia want to maintain their social networks so they continue to have a feeling of belonging, access local facilities and do the things they have always done and find their way around safely. Becoming dementia friendly enables us to support these wishes for those impacted by dementia.” She went on to say, “It is wonderful that AlertLine has committed to Ms. Marsh currently coordinates the Dementia Friendly Initiatives of Rock County committee. “Members of the group include those impacted
OBVI Can Assist Those with Vision Impairments
The State of Wisconsin Office for the Blind and Visually Impaired (OBVI), provides rehabilitation services to people who are blind or visually impaired. The goals of the Office are to enable people with visual impairment to live safely and independently. OBVI staff meets with individuals in their homes and/or conducts group trainings in community settings. OBVI staff teaches new ways of doing everyday tasks and introduces equipment that might help people be more independent. Areas that may be discussed are: home management, personal care, orientation and mobility, transportation, communications and resource information. The onset of vision loss changes an individual’s life dramatically. Some of the changes are emotional, as the person faces the vision loss and all its implications for his or
by dementia and their care partners, community members in general, businesses and healthcare agencies that have come together and discuss how ‘dementia friendly’ could look in Rock County and make a plan to implement those strategies,” says Marsh. She goes on to say, “we are always looking to expand our group, or hear from others that have any thoughts or ideas.” There are 18 people from Rock County that have completed the Train the Trainer program and are ready to go in to local businesses and organizations and provide this free training. Contact Cori Marsh at 608741-3615 for more information or schedule a free training.

her identity, relationships, and functioning. By learning new ways to doing tasks and by using new kinds of equipment, many people who are visually impaired are able to maintain healthy and satisfying lives. Learning to do these tasks in new ways also helps people cope with the emotional effects of their vision loss. OBVI’s goal is to assist people to be independent.

Second Year for “Lighten Up! “Program The Council on Aging has just wrapped up its’ second year of workshops for a new pilot program called Lighten Up! Lighten UP! is an eight-week program that can help find new ways to feel happy, identify the things that get you down, practice techniques to increase well-being, and enjoy a fun, lively discussions. During the workshop, participants learn tips to reduce stress, manage difficult situations, and find positive experiences in daily life. Each participant will receives a home practice booklet with exercises to help practice what is being learned in the class. Amy Stricker, Kathie Duschene and Jo Ann Koltyk were the leaders for previous workshops. Leader Stricker stated, “Facilitating a Lighten Up! workshop has been such a great experience. Not only do I observe the participants benefitting, but they also report satisfaction with the workshop. I can see when they “get” what we are talking about and they anticipate using these ideas in their everyday lives. The participants formed bonds with each other, also. They encourage and support others in class.
Social bonds and experiences are a part of the workshop that is emphasized as part of well-being. I feel I am benefitting, as well. The concepts of this program are so positive I even leave feeling great.” Research has shown a strong correlation between well-being and health care outcomes among older adults. Past participants report higher feelings of wellbeing upon completion of Lighten UP! and fewer feelings of depression and anxiety. This pilot project is being funded from the Wisconsin Partnership Program of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. The Rock County Council on Aging is partnering with the UW Madison Institute on Aging and the ADRC of Kenosha County for this study. The Council on Aging plans to hold at least three additional workshops in 2016. The workshop is for individuals age 60 or older or younger disabled individuals. For more information about Lighten UP! contact the Rock County Council on Aging at 7575416.

Do I Really Have to Worry about My Teeth at My Age?

hat is a valid question, and can only be answered accurately if you know how long you will be living. A mouth that is unhealthy can lead to much more than just a few cavities. In fact, it can result in many things that may change your life. You are among one of the first generations who have had the resources to allow you to maintain all or most of your natural teeth. You are likely to have had regular prevention visits with your dental hygienist and have teeth restored when they did have cavities. Some people have numerous gold or porcelain crowns or even implants to preserve the function of their teeth. The teeth have several key roles. Besides the obvious function of chewing our food, they also help your face maintain “vertical dimension”. When the teeth are missing in back or heavily worn down, the cheeks start

to sink in and wrinkles form. So teeth keep your face looking good as well as providing you with the ability to smile and talk. It may seem like dentures are a good replacement for teeth. Well, they are a good replacement for NO TEETH, but they are never like your own. The palate (roof of the mouth) actually contributes to the enjoyment of the taste of foods. The pleasure of a conversation with others is made possible by the teeth helping to form our speech. Both of these are compromised by a denture that covers the palate. People adapt all the time to this type of change, but speech changes take time to adapt to and the sense of taste is affected any time the denture is in place. Another concern are gums that bleed. This is a sign of infection. When there is infection in the mouth, it can travel through the body and

affect other areas. If you have diabetes, the health of your gums is vital to being able to control your diabetes. If you suffer from lung and/ or heart conditions, healthy gums are important for you as well, because the bacteria that cause the gums to bleed can also cause lung and heart conditions to worsen. Who knew the health of our teeth and gums was so important? Keep your mouth in tip top shape with brushing 2-3 times per day and cleaning between the teeth with something like floss, or brushes designed to go between the teeth. You may also consider using
products sweetened with the natural occurring sugar “xylitol”. This sweetener prevents the bacteria from sticking to the structures in the mouth. When bacteria cannot stick to the teeth and gums, they can’t cause cavities or infect the gums. Toothpaste, candies or gum sweetened with xylitol are easy and effective methods of using xylitol. If you have any questions regarding improving your dental health and preserving your teeth, I am available to answer them.

Check on Health During the Holidays
G
etting together to share a meal and spending time with those we love is often the highlight of the season. For many, the holidays are a chance to go home, to see parents, friends and family who they don’t get to see as often as they would like during the rest of the year. For children of aging parents however, a holiday visit can often be the first time adult children get an inkling that maybe mom and dad aren’t doing as well as they could be. Perhaps they have fallen, or they aren’t as steady on their feet as they once were. They may have lost or gained weight. Maybe they are a little more forgetful than they used to be. They could be having a hard time navigating everyday tasks that used to be easy. They might not be managing a medical condition or their medications as effectively as they once did. If your holiday visit with your parents has you concerned it is important to evaluate the situation and look into services and resources that can help. Taking care of potential medical and support needs before they become major problems can help to ensure your parents can continue to live safely and independently at home. It can be hard to know where to start when it comes to the needs of aging loved ones. A good place to start is to focus on some key areas.
Indications of potential care and support needs include: Medical Indicators • An acute, chronic or terminal health condition • Home safety concerns, falls, or fear of falling Social Indicators • Isolation • No longer participates in previously enjoyed activities Psychosocial Indicators • Depression or anxiety • Lack of family support Physical & Mental Activity Indicators • Change in range of motion • Cognitive changes Nutritional Indicators • Fatigue • Weight loss or gain Activities of Daily Living Indicators • Need for medication assistance • Need of assistance with chores, bathing, shopping, or meal preparation Please visit HomeHealthUnited. org/Checklist for a full list of care and support need indicators. So what do you do if you have identified a need? The type of care you choose depends on the level of care needed.
The Reverse Gift List By Jane Mahoney, Older American’s Act Consultant, Greater Wisconsin Agency on Aging Resource
T
his year as the holidays approach there is one more thing to add to your “to-do” list. It is called the Reverse Gift List and it’s an exercise in which you think not about giving, but getting. It goes against all you’ve been taught, but when you are caring for someone else, it is vitally important to also care for yourself! The Reverse Gift List will help you get started! To write a Reverse Gift List you need a sheet of paper, a pen or pencil and some ideas. Make two columns on your paper and label the first one “People I Trust”. Label the second column “Things They Can Do”. Now think of all the special people in your life who love you and care about you; neighbors, family (siblings, children, grandchildren, cousins), clergy and friends. Now write down some things they may enjoy doing that would be helpful to you; cook a meal a week, pick up groceries or medications, vacuum or dust, stop for a visit or sit with your loved one while you do something on your own. The possibilities are endless. The idea is to think of things that are easy or enjoyable for them to do. Not everyone likes to cook, but your sister may really enjoy it! Your daughter may not be thrilled to clean your house for you, but may find it easy to pick up your groceries while she’s at the store anyway. Your cousin might enjoy staying with your

Custodial care (non-skilled) services can help with activities of daily living like meal preparation, household chores, bathing, grooming and dressing. It can also provide medication assistance, transportation, and other health services coordination. Skilled care services such as home health services, palliative care and hospice are available to those who need more specialized care. Home health services are available to help patients recover from illness or injury. Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatments to help people facing chronic or quality of life limiting illnesses. Hospice services are available to help those with a limited life expectancy who are no longer seeking curative treatment achieve the best quality of life possible. Other resources such as personal emergency response systems, Meals On Wheels or senior transportation services may be available in your community to assist your loved ones as well.
loved one for a couple hours a week while you take a walk by yourself or while you attend a support group. Your pastor or priest might not want to vacuum but could schedule regular visits so you have someone else to talk to. Your grandchild (or great-grandchild) would likely enjoy stopping over after school for a snack and a visit each week. Once you have written your Reverse Gift List, talk to the people on the list and tell them your ideas. You may want to write down several things each person might be willing to do and let them choose what would be best for them. It might be helpful to ask someone who is close to you to help you distribute the list. At this time of year your friends and family will be wondering what they can give you for Christmas. This is the perfect time to have a list of practical and helpful things you need. The truth is, most people enjoy helping. Allowing the people that care about you to help is actually giving them a gift. It is giving them the gift of giving! And just so it doesn’t feel lopsided, remember all the nice things you’ve done for other people, and all the things you will do again once your life isn’t consumed with being a caregiver. There is a time for everything, and now is the time for you to be the receiver of gifts. Your time for giving has happened and will happen again. Just sit back, write your Reverse Gift List and let others take care of you for a change! Happy Holidays! If you are in search of local resources or programs, please contact the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Rock County at 608-741-3600 or if you are
Hopefully your visit home finds your family healthy, happy and doing well. But if you think your aging loved ones could benefit from a little bit of assistance, act now before a small problem develops into a big one.

Tis the Season to Give Wisely
n this season of giving it is important for consumers to remember to give wisely. Unfortunately, there are individuals and organizations that misrepresent themselves as charities to take advantage of the generous nature of good people, and Americans lose millions of dollars to fraudulent donations every year. To help you make sure that your money goes to the cause you intend, the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance suggests the following tips: • Never send cash! Always make donations by check. • Make the check payable to the charity, not the name of an individual who happens to be soliciting on behalf of the charity. • Be wary of names that closely resemble the names of well-known organizations. • Don’t feel guilty about not giving. • Reputable charities understand that not every person is in a position to give. • Never feel pressured to give immediately. • It is always a good idea to take some time to think over any decisions to donate to a charity. If you would like a more complete listing of tips on giving wisely, you can contact the BBB at the address listed below to request the “BBB Wise Giving Guide.” In addition, the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection has developed a

If a solicitor is unable or unwilling to answer these questions, insist that you receive written materials before making a decision about donating to the organization. You may also contact certain state agencies if you have concerns regarding a specific charity. For instance, the Department of Regulation and Licensing maintains a list of all registered charitable organizations in Wisconsin. You can inquire about a particular charity by contacting the department at the phone number listed at the end of this article. In addition, if you have a complaint about a charity, you may contact the Department of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection (DATCP). DATCP will investigate any complaint filed.

“We Wish You a Healthy Holiday and a Nutritious New Year” By Nutrition and Health Associates
F
or most people eating is more than just putting food in your mouth and chewing. Food is comforting, social, and evokes memories; especially during the holidays. While indulging in seasonal favorites is enjoyable, overindulging can get you off the healthy eating track. Finding moderation for day to day eating is challenging, and for some, the holidays make the issue feel nearly impossible to manage. Some say there are foods with addictive qualities that produce feel good hormones, making the habit difficult to break. Others say eating can provide such a good distraction from worries, stress or negative feelings, that it is a result of different triggers that cause us to eat emotionally. The following are some examples of these triggers: • Social: Others encourage you to eat or you eat to fit in • Emotional: Eating in response to boredom, stress or fatigue • Situational: You get the chance to eat out or are watching TV. • Thoughts: You are feeling poorly
about yourself or are looking for an outlet • Physiological: You have increased hunger after skipping meals earlier in the day Whether this is a year round cycle or a seasonal cycle for you and you are ready to break free, you might try one of the ideas below to break the cycle. • Talk with a friend • Go mall walking • Write down your feelings • Drink a glass of water or tea • Pass time with a game or hobby • Listen to music When you are ready to make a change, keep in mind… • Small changes = big differences. Meet your first goal at least 75% of the time before trying to start a new goal. • Be forgiving; research shows that people who plan to eat low nutrient dense foods, are less likely to load up on them and tend to be a healthier weight!

Leona Petit
Leona Petit has lived in Beloit since she was nine years old and has raised her family here. When Leona moved to Riverside Terrace in early 2011, she didn’t realize how many residents would be familiar faces. “Some of us even had our first jobs together,” she explains. “It’s so nice to not be alone and feel so comfortable.” What else does Leona like about her Riverside Terrace apartment?
“I can’t come up with anything I don’t love!” she replies. She enjoys the programs, delicious food, and is one of the “Baking Ladies” concocting goodies for the residents. Her doctor and children wanted her to live where she could “be active” and she is!

Older Driver Safety Awareness Week By Molly Nolte, Rock County Mobility Manager
O
lder Driver Safety Awareness Week is December 7–11, 2015! The American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc. (AOTA) is promoting this important annual event. The fact is, we all grow older every single day. And although some of our abilities may change due to increasing age, that does not mean we should be limited when we travel! There are many things we can do to improve our safety when we drive or are passengers in personal vehicles. Here are some quick tips: Always have your vision and hearing checked annually; these senses are important when we drive! Be sure you are fitted properly in your vehicle; you should be able to reach the gas and brake pedals easily and comfortably, and should be at least ten inches away from your steering wheel for safe airbag
December is Root Vegetable Month! Root Vegetable Harvest Season Beets Carrots Onions Parsnips Potatoes Radishes Rutabagas Turnips

deployment in the event of a crash. Adjust your mirrors so you can see around your vehicle and diminish blind spots. And check with your physician or pharmacist to make sure none of your medications affect your driving. (www.aarp.org) The AOTA website has resources and information for each day of Older Driver Safety Awareness Week. Topics include: Anticipating Changes That Can Affect Driving, Screening and Evaluations with an Occupational Therapist, Staying Engaged in the Community, and so much more. For all of the information from the AOTA, please visit their website: http://www.aota.org/ conference-events/older-driver-safety-awarenessweek.aspx And don’t forget to explore the many other
transportation options Rock County has to offer people of all ages and abilities! Public transportation is a great way to take a break from driving; consider Janesville and Beloit Transit Services. Riding the bus is a convenient, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly way to get where you need to go. Another benefit of riding the bus: who wants to drive during Wisconsin winters? Avoid traffic and stay warm on a public bus. If you have any questions about riding with JTS or BTS, contact the Rock County Mobility Manager for travel training information! The Mobility Manager has many resources available for travel independence! Just call 608757-5408. Happy Older Driver Safety Awareness Week!

What are root vegetables?
Root vegetables are a group of plants that grow underground with edible roots. The vegetables have a variety of flavors and textures, and also each have a diverse nutrient profile. Many root vegetables are harvested in the fall but keep well in storage throughout winter. This month is a great time to explore some of the variety. Beets, carrots, onions, parsnips, potatoes, radishes, rutabagas, and turnips are all root vegetables.

How do I use root vegetables?
● Perfect for colder weather, root vegetables are wonderful roasted. Dice your favorite root vegetables into large, equally sized cubes and sprinkle lightly with oil and seasonings (if desired). Bake at 350° F for about an hour, or until vegetables are tender. As a versatile side dish, you can choose your favorite spices such as rosemary, garlic powder or just plain salt and pepper! ● Slice root vegetables into sticks. Ever had raw sweet potato? It’s a fantastic, sweet and crunchy snack! Carrots, sweet potatoes, and radishes are all great enjoyed plain when you’re in a hurry. Mash ‘em! Looking for a creamy, rich side dish? Many root vegetables can be cooked and mashed beyond your basic white potatoes.
