A Senior Magazine for Living a Healthier, Smarter and More Active Life in Rock County
Looking for a Good New Year’s Resolution? Commit to Increase Your Confidence and Reduce Your Falls Risk. By Betsy Abramson, Deputy Director, Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging
O
f all the things you want to do in 2016, having a(nother) fall is certainly not on the list. Falls now exceed motor vehicle crashes in Wisconsin as the most common cause of injury-related deaths. The most common age group for falls, and the ones for whom the falls are the most devastating…? You guessed it: older adults. A whopping 90% of fall-related deaths and 70% of fall-related in-patient hospitalizations involve people age 65 and older. It’s very disturbing: one out of every three adults age 65 and over falls every year. Falls are very expensive. Hospitalizations and emergency room visits due to falls result in $800 million in hospital charges each year in Wisconsin. Over 70% of these costs (more than $56 million) for fall-related hospitalization and emergency room visits are paid by government insurance programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. And that’s just the hospital and ER costs. It doesn’t include the costs of home care, rehab stays, physical and occupational therapies after the falls, wound care, time off work for caregivers and on and on…. Falls can be life-changing – in a very bad way Senior Review | 1 – for you as an older adult. The consequences
include fracture, head injury, soft-tissue injury, loss of mobility, loss of independent living and death. A fall can impose significant burdens on you, your caregivers, your communities and your local health care system. Falls often lead to older adults having to give up living independently. Approximately 40% of those admitted to a nursing home had a fall in the 30 days prior to admission. Even if a fall doesn’t cause you any injuries, you may develop a fear of falling again or a loss of confidence that causes you to limit your activities. This fear can lead you to reduce your ability to move around and lose physical conditioning, which in turn could further increase your risk of falling. The threat of a fall can be a barrier to you safely doing all the things you want to do at home and staying actively engaged in your community – volunteering, going to classes, socializing with friends, going to family events, exercising shopping, doing chores, and other activities. Preventing falls is critically important to maintaining your personal independence. So, looking ahead to 2016, resolve to take control to help prevent falls. Here are some ideas: • Have a home assessment and modify your home or apartment as necessary – check out Continued on Page 2
“Stepping On” Classes in Rock County One of the best ways to prevent falls is for an older adult to enroll in the evidence-based (research-proven) community workshop, such as Stepping On. This is a prevention program that empowers older adults to carry out health behaviors that reduce the risks of falls. Stepping On is a community-based workshop offered once a week for seven weeks using adult education principles that build older adults’ confidence in your own ability to reduce falls. In a small-group setting, older adults learn strength and balance exercises and develop specific knowledge and skills to prevent falls. Two trained leaders facilitate the workshops. The workshops are not lectures; the participants participate extensively and learn to problem-solve themselves and for each other. Mutual support and success will build your confidence in your ability to manage your health behaviors to reduce your risk of falls and to maintain active and fulfilling lives. Stepping On is offered in Rock County many times throughout the year. We are in the process of scheduling classes for 2016. Visit the Council on Aging’s website at www.co.rock.wi.us/aging or call 608-758-8455 for more information about dates, times and locations. So this year, make and keep a New Year’s resolution to prevent falls.

Safe Winter Driving Tips from the Janesville Police Department
ith the colder weather approaching, the Janesville Police Department would like to remind drivers of the following safe driving tips in ice/snow weather conditions: • Pay attention to road conditions, slow down and remember the posted speed limit is for dry weather conditions. Clear snow and ice from all windows and lights before driving. • Give yourself plenty of room between cars - more time and distance are needed to stop in snowy and icy weather. • Look farther ahead in traffic than you normal do so you can have more reaction time. • Watch for slippery bridge decks; they will ice up sooner than regular roads. • Leave plenty of room for maintenance vehicles and plows.
Continued from Page 1
slippery surfaces, obstacles in traffic ways, poor lighting especially on steps and stairs, unsafe practices in reaching or climbing on items to reach objects. • Consider adding grab bars in your bathrooms. • Remove throw rugs, add handrails and improve lighting. • Have your vision checked and if you wear glasses, make sure they’re adjusted appropriately. Further, don’t delay cataract surgery if needed. • Talk to your pharmacist and physician about your medications. Are any of your medications one of the drugs that contributes to falls? • Go to a good shoe store and evaluate your footwear to make sure your shoes are the right size and have good treads. Safety first, not fashion. • Consider gait training, including advice on assistive devices • Ask health care providers, physical therapists or fitness instructors for an individualized, progressive exercise program that includes both strength and balance training. • Purchase and take vitamin supplements to ensure that you are
• If approaching a plow that's in operation stay back at least 200 feet, as required by law. Never pass a snowplow when it's plowing. • Use your headlights if it's snowing. • Carry a cell phone in the vehicle when driving in adverse conditions in case of trouble. • DO NOT CALL 911 for information about snow emergencies. • To help improve the efficiency and response to winter
getting enough Vitamin D daily (800-1000 IUs – international units). There is not enough sun in Wisconsin, even in the summer, to get adequate Vitamin D. • Purchase and take calcium supplements; 1200 mg a day is recommended, spread out over the day (for example, take 400 mg three times each day). It’s very hard to get this much from food, so read the bottle’s labels and get the appropriate supplements. Ask the pharmacist or doctor if you’re not sure. • Tell your doctor if you have fallen. He or she is not going to push you into a nursing home or call your kids and tell them to do so. Your doctor can recommend a further assessment, review your medications and make other recommendations. Don’t keep falls a secret. • If some of these ideas cost more than you can afford on your budget, consider asking for these items as gifts from your family for your birthday or a holiday. They’ll be much more valuable to you than another bathrobe or bottle of cologne! • Attend a “Stepping On” workshop!
weather, please park your vehicle off city streets whenever possible. When a snow emergency is declared all vehicles must be removed from city streets. However, snow plowing and salting operations can occur during times when a snow emergency has not been declared. By removing your vehicle from the road you help snow plow operators gain better access to the entire street. Fewer obstructions, like parked vehicles, mean that snow plow operators can clear the streets quicker and more completely. Do your part to help improve winter weather responses by parking your vehicle off city streets during the winter season. For information on snow emergencies in Janesville, call 608-755-SNOW or go to the City of Janesville website at www.ci.janesville.wi.us/snow.

Agrace to Begin “Journey Through Grief” Support Group in January
January Tip of the Month Take That Social Security Card Out of Your Wallet. Do Not Carry It with You!
JANESVILLE, Wis. – In January, Agrace HospiceCare will begin “Journey Through Grief,” a support group series that is open to the public and provided without charge. This six-week grief support group is for adults who are grieving a death. In addition to providing grief support, the group leader will present and discuss the grieving process. The group will meet at the Agrace Center for Hospice & Palliative Care, 2901 N. Wright Road, Janesville, on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon, from January 12 through February 16. Contact Jody Haak-Reuter at (608) 327-7118 to register or complete online registration at agrace.org/griefgroups. Agrace recommends waiting two to three months after a death before joining a grief support group. For more information about this series or Agrace’s other grief support groups, call (608) 755-1871 or visit agrace.org/griefgroups.
For your protection, do not carry your social security card in your wallet or in your purse. You need your social security card for very few situations, so take it out of your wallet or purse and put in a safe place at home. Keep your Social Security card in a safe place with your other important papers. Many people have their number memorized, so why carry the card with you? If your wallet or purse would be lost or stolen and your social security card and all your personal information was in it, you could be harmed in many ways, such as a being a victim of identity theft. Someone illegally using your Social Security number and assuming your identity can cause a lot of problems. When a dishonest person has your Social Security number, the thief can use it to get other personal information about you. Most of the time identity thieves use your number and your good credit to apply for more credit in your name. Then, they use the credit cards and do not pay the bills. You do not find out that someone is using your number until you are turned down for credit, or you begin to get calls from unknown creditors demanding payment for items you never bought.

The Dangers of Hypothermia
he cold weather is upon us in Wisconsin! While some people enjoy the snow and cold and others can’t wait for summer to return, none can deny that winter can produce some dangers, especially for older people. Not only are there slippery sidewalks to contend with, but also the possibility of hypothermia. Hypothermia is a drop in body temperature that is caused by staying in a cool place for too long. This may bring to mind images of someone who is lost outside in a blizzard, but hypothermia can strike a person in their own home where the heat is turned down too low. A body temperature below 96 degrees can cause an irregular heartbeat leading to heart problems and even death, if not treated promptly. Hypothermia is especially dangerous because it happens gradually and affects your thinking. You may not even realize you need help! As caregivers, it important to be aware of the symptoms and risks of hypothermia as people with
Text-to-911: Call if You Can, Text if You Can’t By Kathy Sukus, 9-1-1 Communications Director
I
n September 2015 a new Text-to-911 service was deployed by the Rock County 911 Communications Center. This new service is not intended to replace voice calls to 911. Voice calls to 911 are still the quickest and most efficient way to reach help. However, if you are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired or you are in a situation where you could be in danger if someone
advanced age are especially vulnerable. When checking in on your relatives, friends or neighbors, be especially aware of the symptoms of hypothermia. • Confusion or sleepiness • Slowed, slurred speech or shallow breathing • Weak pulse or low blood pressure • Cold, pale skin • A lot of shivering or stiffness in the arms or legs • Chilly rooms or other signs that they have been in a cold place • Poor control over body movements or slow reactions If you think someone may have hypothermia, take his/ her temperature and if it doesn’t rise above 96 degrees, call 9-1-1. Then keep the person warm and dry by moving them to a warmer place, wrapping the person in blankets or coats or using your own body warmth by lying close to them. Do not rub their arms or legs as this can result in skin tears. Once at the emergency room, the doctor will verify the diagnosis and then warm the person’s body from the inside out. It is very important that a person with hypothermia is treated by a physician. Sometimes people are tempted to turn their thermostats down too low as a way of saving money
hears you making a voice call, text-to-911 is another way to reach emergency assistance in Rock County. Texting to 911 works the same way as texting anyone else, but there are a few important details you must include in your initial text: 1. Type 911 in the “TO” field (without spaces or dashes). 2. In the “MESSAGE” field provide the address of the emergency, including town/city. 3. Also provide the type of emergency and whether you need police, fire or an ambulance. Please remember that text-to-911 should be used for emergency situations only. Non-
on their energy bill, but this can result in a dangerous situation. It is essential for people keep their home warm, especially on those days and weeks where the temperatures stay near zero. To be safe, your thermostat should be set for at least 68 degrees. Even temperatures between 60 and 65 can lead to illness. There are some things you can do to keep yourself warm and cut down on heating costs. First, you can get ideas on reducing your heating bill by calling your power or gas company for information on weatherizing your home. Ideas such as closing vents and doors to rooms you are not using can cut your energy usage. Also, wearing several layers of loose clothing will keep you warmer while tight clothing can keep your blood from flowing freely. And lastly, eating enough food to keep up your body weight can also keep you warmer. If paying for heat is a problem due to a limited income, you may qualify for help through the Energy Assistance Program. Call the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Rock County at 608-741-3600 for more information. May you have a happy and safe winter! Jane Mahoney, Older American’s Act Consultant, Greater Wisconsin Agency on Aging Resources www.gwaar.org
emergencies should still be called in on the county’s non-emergency number: 757-2244 (via voice or TDD-telephone device for the deaf). The service is also only basic text messaging at this time, so no pictures or videos. Lastly, avoid abbreviations or texting lingo as it could confuse the 911 call taker and delay emergency response. Further information concerning textto-911 (including instructional videos) can be located on the 911 Center’s website: www. rockcounty911.com. Editor’s Note: If you have further questions about this service, please contact the 9-1-1 Communications Center at 608-757-5100.

Seniors Volunteering for Seniors Program
Seniors Volunteering for Seniors is a program offered by the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program of Rock County. This program helps people who need assistance get to doctor appointments, grocery stores, and other needs such as picking up medications. We also provide phone assurance for medication reminders or just to visit, friendly home visits, and limited respite relief. The only requirement is you live in Rock County, are 55 and older, and need assistance while out, and are unable to receive help from Rock County Transit or MTM, a carrier for Badgercare/ Medicaid. The program utilizes senior volunteers who donate their time, use their own vehicles, and are reimbursed for their mileage. Our volunteers have donated over 21,000 hours since beginning in 2010. This program is so popular that we have had a waiting list until just recently and we are now currently taking new clients. We are also in need of more volunteers. If you would like to be a part of Seniors Volunteering for Seniors and help fellow seniors, please call 608-362-9593 or 608-7564281 and ask for Patty.
