And the Survey Says...
W
hat do senior citizens rank as their highest priority as they age? Financial Security? Health? Family is actually the most important factor in maintaining a high quality of life in Americans’ senior years, according to a recent survey.
Conducted by the National Council on Aging (NCOA), UnitedHealthcare and USA Today, the survey measured responses from 4,000 U.S. adults, including a nationally representative sample of seniors ages 60 and older. It found that four out of 10 seniors rank connectivity to friends and family as their top priority, ahead of financial security (30 percent). Read the survey’s other key findings to see what else seniors are concerned about as they age.
Health
• 65 percent of seniors report having at least two chronic health conditions. • 60 percent of seniors expect their health to stay the same over the next 5-10 years. • 84 percent say it is not very or not at all difficult to perform regular activities.
Community Services
• 71 percent of seniors say their community is responsive to the needs of seniors. • 49 percent believe their community is doing enough to prepare for the growing senior population.
Financial Security
• 53 percent are very or somewhat concerned about their savings and income to last the rest of their life.
• 41 percent of working seniors indicate that social security will be their primary source of retirement income.
Technology
• 34 percent stated ‘I don’t understand how to use it’ as a barrier preventing them from using more technology. • 47 percent say cost prevents their use of technology.
Overall Outlook
• 57 percent of seniors state that overall, the past year of their life has been normal. • 21 percent of seniors expect their lives to get much or somewhat better over the next 5-10 years.

COLORECTAL CANCER Are you over 50?
If you answered “Yes”, it is time for everyone over the age of 50 to get screened for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death for both men and women.
Have you been screened? Get the facts. You can reduce your risk if you get screened starting at the age of 50. Colorectal cancer is preventable if polyps that lead to the cancer are detected and removed. Since there are very few symptoms associated with colorectal cancer, screening is essential! Carlisle Endoscopy Center provides patients with state of the art, high definition endoscopy performed by our Board certified gastroenterologists. OPEN ACCESS ENDOSCOPY NOW AVAILABLE! This allows healthy patients to schedule a screening colonoscopy in our endoscopy center without a prior office visit.

I 'Heart' You
recent large-scale study conducted by researchers in Finland says that being married and cohabiting – especially among middle-aged couples – is associated with considerable better prognosis of acute cardiac events.
In short, marriage is good for your heart. The study was published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology and based on nearly 10 years of register data. The information driving the study included more than 15,000 acute cardiac syndrome events, with more than half resulting in death within 28 days. Among this group, mortality rates were found to be 60 to 168 percent higher in unmarried men, and 71 to 175 percent higher in unmarried women.
So what exactly is the connection between marriage and the heart’s ability to recover from a major event? Study researchers offered the following explanations.
Overall Health Married couples may have a heart advantage because of their health habits and social connectivity to other married couples like them. Seniors are urged to find and acquaint themselves with other seniors. This social interaction can pay large dividends in all types of health, including mental, emotional and physical.
Early Intervention Researchers hypothesized that married couples may be more likely than unmarried people to seek medical assistance in the case of a health issue.
A recent study agrees. It was conducted by the University of Missouri Department of Human Development and Family Studies and found that if spouses understand their partners’ disease and treatment requirements, both people’s health could improve.
Better Care Married people may seek better treatment once in the hospital and after discharge. The study found that a larger proportion of married and cohabiting men received specialized therapy at acute stage. This intervention has been known to contribute to better survival after hospitalization. Lower adherence to aspirin, statins or beta-blockers among the unmarried may have an adverse effect on long-term prognosis, the researchers claim.
The right doctor is just a phone call away.
Choosing the right doctor is a big decision. But it just got a lot easier. One call to our free, 24-hour Find-a-Physician line gives you access to local primary care physicians and specialists. So whether you need a physician close to your home or work, or one who accepts walk-ins or same-day appointments, give us a call and we’ll help you find the doctor who’s just right for you.

How to Choose:
Assisted Living Facility
S
ometimes, illness or age can take a toll on someone. They find that living independently at home is no longer a viable option.
When you need to look for an assisted living facility, there are many things to consider. Cost is often the first thing people think about when searching for a facility. While a clear understanding of expenses is beneficial, there are other aspects to keep in mind. Be sure you know the cost breakdown of each facility. An awareness of how fees are charged will help you avoid surprises later. Special services might be an additional cost. The quality of care and satisfaction of current and former residents will also figure prominently into your decision. Of course, the maintenance and comfort level of the facility is also something to
research. Do an online check of assisted living homes in your area. Many sites will feature reviews from family members, friends and residents. Make a list of facilities that might be a good fit. Be sure to visit each facility on your list. Look carefully at the condition of the buildings. Inquire about activities for the residents. Also, take a look at their calendar of events to get a better idea about the lifestyle of people living there. Go out of your way to meet residents and family members. Touring facilities during the early evenings or weekend afternoons are the best times. Ask for honest opinions about the staff, amenities and accommodations. You or your loved one may only need a secure environment or assistance in case of a fall. In the future, these needs could change. The ideal facility will accommodate additional needs in the future. If mobility becomes a concern, the size and layout of the center may become more important. Eventually, you may need
someone to dispense medication, manage appointments, provide transportation and more personal levels of care. While some facilities can provide increasing amounts of care, other centers may require that you leave the facility should your needs increase. A facility is a good match when it resembles the lifestyle to which the resident is accustomed. Make a list of things that are important to you. If you pursue gardening, crafting or other hobbies, look for a center that lets you continue with these hobbies with ease. People who enjoy staying active and exercising can find a facility that has a gym, exercise room or secure place to walk. Gregarious people need centers that allow plenty of opportunity for socializing. Moving into an assisted living facility doesn't have to be stressful or unpleasant. With research and diligence, you can be confident that you or your loved one will be well cared for while still being able to enjoy life.

Senior Nutrition & Gardening
N
utrition and gardening go hand in hand. More fruits and vegetables in your diet is a good thing, plain and simple.
an inexpensive way to add healthful fruits and vegetables to your diet.
But for seniors, gardening can also have a major impact on other areas of their physical health by keeping them active and engaged in a hobby.
The Perfect Exercise
Gardening requires just enough physical activity to strengthen muscles and increase blood flow throughout the body. And the emotional payoff of producing and sustaining your own source of food is definitely worth the effort.
Nutrition
Especially in urban areas where fresh, organic produce may be less available, gardens provide
Fill your table with organic tomatoes, green beans and corn – all picked from the convenient location of your back yard. And gardeners like to share, meaning that friends and family members often reap the benefits of their green-thumbed acquaintances.
Many seniors prefer a walk around the mall or neighborhood as their source of exercise. And while that is a great way of staying active, so too is spending some time in the garden. Maintaining a great-looking garden requires a lot of raking, watering, pulling and picking – all light exercises that involve the use of different parts of the body. These activities also provide ongoing exercise because consistent work is required to pull off a
healthy, thriving garden.
Get Involved In senior centers across the country, officials are establishing fully funded programs aimed at attracting and retaining senior interest in gardening. Funds have been devoted to help build beds and structures needed to support gardens, as well as tools, watering hoses and irrigation equipment. These community centers are also providing free nutrition education and cooking classes to help seniors find out not only how to grow their own produce, but how to use it, too. Contact your local senior center to find out if it is offering any gardening services.

Reverse Mortgages: Legitimate or Scam?
re reverse mortgages a smart way to enjoy your golden years or a scheme to line the pockets of unscrupulous companies?
Some senior citizens have found the latter to be true, which is reason enough to arm yourself with more information on the topic. Reverse mortgages allow homeowners 62 and older to borrow money against the value of their homes and not pay it back until they move out or pass away. The number of these loans continue to decline, but the rate of default is at a record high 9.4 percent, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And the default is attributed, in some cases, to dishonest lending practices. Know the ins and outs of reverse mortgages
and their potential impact on your finances before deciding whether or not to pursue one.
The Facts Reverse mortgages are low-interest, federally regulated loans that allow senior homeowners to convert a portion of the value of their home into tax-free cash. Seniors can opt for a lump sum payment, monthly payments, a line of credit or a customized plan to fit their needs. Although reverse mortgages require no monthly payments, they still leave the homeowner responsible to maintain the home, pay real estate property taxes and carry homeowners insurance for the life of the loan.
The Scam Some lenders who offer reverse-mortgages attach fees to them that many seniors find
difficult to take on. Some offer false hope of financial freedom without explaining the risks. Others leave widows without a home after pressuring them to leave their name off the deed – only to face foreclosure after their spouse passes away.
Don’t Be Wooed Some unscrupulous lenders are swaying seniors into risky mortgage deals through persuasion. Be on the lookout for deceptive sales pitches and high-pressure tactics. If you are considering a reverse mortgage and feel pressured by your lender to take prompt action, step back and consult with a housing specialist. These professionals, as well as regulators and elder-care advocates, can help walk you through your options. It's always best to make major financial decisions at a slow, thoughtful pace. If you feel pressured to make a quick decision, that's a bad sign.
Selecting the Best Retirement Community for Your Needs
T
hese days, more Americans are remaining active into their retirement years. They are searching for communities that match their lifestyles and goals for relaxed living.
If you are in the market for a retirement community, there are plenty of things to consider. This retirement community will hopefully become your home. It is important to choose a vibrant place, with plenty of parking and recreational activities. Here are some aspects to consider before making a financial commitment to a living facility.
Community Activities and Parking Many senior citizens want to keep their energy levels up during their retirement years. They are more health conscious and see how an active lifestyle leads to a long life. Many seniors enjoy golf, tennis, swimming and walking. Any prospective retirement community should have easy access to such activities. Other seniors enjoy arts and crafts, board games, dancing and organized activities. Taking part in a social events can provide opportunities to make new friends. Research what kinds of social events are organized within the
retirement community. Also, find out if the community has ample opportunities for residents to travel to theaters, museums or shopping malls together. Parking is another important factor when choosing a retirement community. Most people enjoy having family and friends visit, so parking is a necessity. When parking is tight, visitors will be less likely to come. Do not overlook its importance.
Medical Care Facilities Retirement communities should be easily accessible to emergency personnel. Know the location of the closest hospitals, doctors, ambulance services and other personnel. You may wish to restrict your search to communities located near your preferred physician or other service providers. Any prospective community should have a formal emergency plan in place. In addition, check to see if the retirement unit has custom safety features, such as railings in the bathrooms and entranceways.
Pet Policies Pet policies are another feature to consider when investigating potential retirement communities. Some facilities will allow you to bring your pet to live with you while others will not. So if you have a pet you don't want to leave behind, you may be able to bring it with you. Many communities now recognize the health benefits of having pets. Additionally, a park or nearby dog walking area will benefit you and your animal
companion, particularly if your pet requires daily exercise. Taking a walk each day will benefit both of you.
Churches, Libraries and Schools Consider how close the community is to schools, sports facilities, and other sites that produce a large amount of traffic volumes and noise levels. Many people prefer to live in less congested, quiet areas during their latter years. Also, think about where the nearest libraries and churches are located, as well as public transportation. Ask whether the community provides its own transportation for residents. Some facilities have their own fleet of minivans and buses. It is extremely helpful for seniors who no longer drive and need to do some routine personal shopping.
The Community Current residents will give you a feel for their level of satisfaction with the community. Talk to them about their experiences and seek candid reviews of the amenities and staff. After all, it is important you feel confident that you have selected a retirement community that fits your personal needs and lifestyles. By taking the time to research multiple facilities, you will undoubtedly find a warm, welcoming facility. You will be able to build lasting friendships and gain the support you need to have fun during your retirement.

How to Check Your Skin
Y
our skin exposes your health secrets.
It is the largest organ system in your body. Symptoms of underlying health problems can usually be spotted somewhere on your skin. That's why a regular self-examination is essential. You can catch a problem early and have it treated before it becomes a major concern. Skin cancer is among the most worrisome problems to consider. If you spent your youth sunning yourself on the beach or performing yard work under the bright blue sky, you will need to be aware of your skin. Also, people who have a family history of skin cancer should check themselves regularly. There are other issues to keep in mind, so looking for changes to your skin is always a good idea. If you spot anything unusual, or something that makes you curious, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
WHAT TO DO Doing a regular skin self-exam is the best way to check for development of skin cancer. The optimal time to conduct this exam is after a shower or bath. Use a room with plenty of light. You will a full-length mirror and a hand-held mirror. Become acquainted with your birthmark moles, and other marks. Familiarize yourself with their look and feel.
Check for anything new:
• A new mole that is unlike your other moles • A new red or darker color flaky patch that seems a little raised • A new flesh-colored firm bump • A change in the size, shape, color, or feel of a mole • A sore that doesn't heal
Check yourself from head to toe:
• Look at your face, neck, ears, and scalp. A comb or a blow dryer can move your hair so you can see better. A relative or friend could help you. It can be hard to check
your scalp by yourself. • Look at the front and back of your body in the mirror. Then, raise your arms and look at your left and right sides. • Bend your elbows. Look carefully at your fingernails, palms, forearms (including the undersides) and upper arms. • Examine all sides of your legs. Also check your genital area and between your buttocks. • Sit and closely examine your feet, including your toenails, your soles, and between your toes. A regular examination will help you understand what is normal for you. It might be helpful to record the dates of your skin exams and note how your skin looks. If a physician has taken photos of your skin, compare your present condition to the photos to help check for changes. If you find anything unusual, contact your doctor.
How to Choose a full-service
Resort Rental Agency
N
ot all rental companies are the same.
Perhaps you are searching for an agency to help you rent your home. You might be planning on renting a vacation property rather than staying at a hotel. It is far more convenient to find a place that can handle a variety of requests. There are many types of rental management companies. Don't just look for an agency that will book your vacation home and then the job is done. By picking the right full-service agency, you can get a relaxing resort experience. Ask the agency about the types of rental properties they handle. Their inventory will tell you a lot about the services you can expect. If the company mostly manages low-end and unpopular properties, look elsewhere. The best agencies manage popular, indemand resort properties in the area because everyone knows they provide quality service.
Next, check out the services the company offers after the booking. Great rental agencies will give you additional services. They might book other tickets to amenities or provide other information. If you are going on vacation, you want to relax and enjoy yourself. Searching for local grocery stores, firewood and rental equipment can take away from your goal of relaxing. You might even need ski lift tickets and lessons. Spending your vacation waiting in line or shopping for food isn't much of a vacation, so an agency with extra amenities will make a huge difference. On the other hand, if you need an agency to help you manage your vacation property, you will want the same outstanding service. Find a company that will perform property maintenance for you. A trusted, reliable management company will take care of mowing the grass while you are away. Resort rental agencies should inspect the property to verify that it is being wellmaintained. They provide housekeeping services, snow removal, chimney sweeping and landscaping. They will perform basic maintenance inside the house as well. Many vacation home owners cannot visit
their property often. Finding someone who will take care of the property in your absence is a must. After all, unidentified problems will only worsen in time. A good way to understand the services your renters will receive is by staying in your vacation home. You can see what a rental resort agency will do for clients by staying in your home during a vacation and trying their services. It will tell you what renters can expect when they stay in your home. Another added bonus of resort rental agencies is they will provide concierge services. The best companies will remind you of five-star hotels. If you need dinner reservations, call the agency. Do you need to find a dry cleaner in your area? The company can help you. The best resort rental companies will surpass your expectations, which means you and your family will have a fun and enjoyable vacation. Anyone who is renting out a vacation home or looking for someone to manage their vacation property should use a full-service agency. It really is the only way to go.

How to Choose a Spa
pend some time in luxury by visiting a spa. It is a great way to refresh your body and mind.
Men and women enjoy relaxing massages, makeovers and even style tips. You can get a facial, manicure or waxing treatments. Some people prefer to stop at a spa before a special occasion, such as a wedding or class reunion. Others use a spa to recover from a stressful situation. Not all spas are the same. Each one offers different services. You may find a quick, affordable visit to a local establishment is the perfect day trip. Maybe you need a luxurious getaway over a long weekend. Whatever your budget, you can find a spa that fits your needs. Comparison shopping will help you find the right place for you. Here are some other factors to keep in mind when choosing a spa.
Style Atmosphere is a key element when selecting the perfect spa. Relaxation, serenity and wellness are vital. You should have the sensation that you are leaving your troubles at the door. When you visit the spa, pay attention to how your body feels. The lights, smells and sounds should unwind you. If people seem stressed, then it will be hard to relax. You are paying for ambiance as well as
services. It is vital that the decor and staff make you feel warm and welcomed.
Service You can receive a wide variety of services, including manicures, facials, saunas, hair removals, mud baths and makeup applications. They may even have services that are not listed in their brochures. Check with different spas before deciding on the services you prefer. When you want to try a new spa, schedule a basic service, such as a manicure. If you like the atmosphere and customer service, you might enjoy a more advanced service. Each client should feel like her experience is the staff's top priority. You don't want to feel rushed. Rather, the best spas will make you feel like good friends are completely focused on providing you individual attention and service.
Cleanliness A clean environment is indicative of good management. In this business, sanitation is essential. There should be no broken equipment or dirty corners. Everything should be organized. Spa guests must feel safe and comfortable in a sparkling clean space.
Schedule Opt for a spa with convenient hours. The
best spas are usually quite busy; however, they will try to accommodate you if you need some flexibility on occasion. Along with finding out the spa's house, ask how long you will need to wait for an appointment. It may be days or even weeks before you can get a specific service at a popular place. On the other hand, some spas accept walk-in customers. Customers should not have to wait long to begin treatments, nor should they feel hurried through a process. A spa close to home can be a big plus. You will feel as though you took a vacation without ever leaving town.
Price Budgets are personal. While it's easy to look at a list and pick the cheapest service, it will rarely be your best option. Like so much in life, you get what you pay for at a spa. Different spas have different definitions for the treatments they offer, making it difficult to compare. You may even have to research spa terms to help you understand the services. There are plenty of things to think about when selecting a spa, from the expertise of the staff and the sophistication of their decor, to the range of services offered. Maybe the best way to pick a spa is to make an appointment and try it out. The right spa will send you home feeling relaxed and looking beautiful.
The things you miss can once again become the things you enjoy. If bone or joint pain is keeping you from enjoying life the way you used to, turn to the specialized orthopedic care available at Carlisle Regional Medical Center. We offer comprehensive orthopedic services, including sports medicine, hip and knee replacement, robotic-assisted surgery, rehab, and more to help you get back in action. And it’s all right here in Carlisle. Find out what the skilled orthopedic surgeons at CRMC can do for you.

Online Dating
A
t-a-click romance isn’t just for 20-somethings. It’s also for the young at heart. In fact, the 50 and over segment is the fastest growing group of subscribers for online dating, according to a study by Lehman Brothers Equity Research.
The convenience of clicking through profiles of potential dates is the main reason seniors are opting for the internet over expensive, fading personal ads. But if you choose to go this route, there are certain precautions to take to ensure your safety and well-being.
Are You Ready? The popularity of online dating sites has exploded over the past 10 years due to their ease of use and the convenience of being able to browse through prospective dates. But just because more people are using these sites doesn’t mean they are right for you. Are you coming off of a long, frustrating relationship? Did your spouse recently pass away, leaving you with emotional and mental anguish? If your emotions and psychological state seem a bit unstable, consider sitting down with a therapist before adding the complexities of another relationship into the mix.
Research Before You Reach Out There are literally hundreds of online dating websites across the internet. Some are targeted toward certain races, interests and backgrounds, so if you have a type in mind, you can whittle down your pool by choosing the site that fits your needs. Are you looking for a physically active mate? A certain age range? Search through the many options to find the one that you feel comfortable using.
Safety First As with any online endeavor that may lead to a face-toface meeting, your safety is paramount. It is troubling to think that some people use online dating sites to lure unsuspecting people into dangerous situations, but that is the reality. Agree to meet your date in a populated restaurant or sporting event where many other people will be around. If going out at night, be sure not to walk through dimly lit areas by yourself and try to park close to your destination. If any red flags come up during the online courting process, back out immediately and move on to the next profile. There are many other fish in the online ocean.

our cruise or cabin getaway is planned and your bags are packed. Now don’t forget to doublecheck your lists, make sure you have all medication and let people know you’re heading out of town.
Yes, taking a trip may be require more work as you age, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a great time away from home. Proper planning can make all the difference in ensuring safe, enjoyable travels.
Talk to Your Doctor One of the first things you should do to prepare for an extended trip is to set up an appointment with your doctor. Explain your travel plans and discuss any concerns you may have about being away from home. Your physician may need to update your shots or explain any potential health risks ahead of your trip. The sooner you can schedule a sit-down with your doctor, the better. Overseas traveling may require certain vaccinations up to six weeks before you depart.
Write It Down Especially if you take various forms of medication requiring different dosages, make a physical list of all prescription and over-the-counter medications you take. Also write down the dosage and what time you should take these medications. Being on vacation can throw off your daily schedule, so it is crucial that you keep this list with you to remind you of medicinal requirements. You can also set alarms on your phone to alert you when it is time to take your medication.
Other Safeguards Any kind of travel – especially international – can open you up to the risk of infection or dehydration. The air inside planes is dry, so health experts urge you to bring a large bottle of water with you for the ride. The Centers for Disease Control for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you think twice about what you eat or drink in a foreign country. The CDC’s travel site (www.cdc.gov/travel) offers a comprehensive list of illnesses that are prevalent in different countries and tips on how to avoid them.

How to enjoy a:
Recreational Vehicle Lifestyle
M
any people dream of owning a recreational vehicle
An RV allows you to ride freely around the country. You can choose how and where you choose to spend your time. It's all about freedom, which is what drives many people to become RV owners. Every person has their own vision of an RV lifestyle, from living in an RV resort to camping in the wilderness or driving around the country visiting family. What do you want to do in your RV?
Destination Before purchasing a new RV, think of your goals. There are all the destinations you want to see: national parks, lakes, and maybe even big cities. But you should also consider your mental and emotional destination. How do you want to wake up each day? Do you want to build relationships with family, friends and old acquaintances? Having a clear idea of what you want to do in your life will help you during the purchasing
process. It will make the decisions much easier.
Find the Right Vehicle While RV stands for "recreational vehicle," it might as well stand for "right vehicle." Everyone's definition of right vehicle will be different, of course. It's a good thing that RVs come in all shapes and sizes. You can purchase a tiny model based on minivans to a full-size commercial vehicle as big as some houses. You should also consider fuel efficiency and reliability. Those two factors will also play a big part in how you enjoy your RV-centered life. Visit RV shows and local dealerships to understand the market and your price range. Aside from the functional aspects of the RV, also think about the operational costs. Every vehicle needs routine maintenance. Find out what costs will be covered under your warranty or maintenance plan. It will help you plan your purchase.
Full- or Part-Time? Will you be a full- or part-time RVer. Most owners begin their new lifestyle part-time. They may take their vehicle on the road for family vacations or fishing trips. Many people decide to become full-time RVers, which means moving out of their permanent
home and spending their lives on the road. The more time you spend in your RV, the more carefully you need to consider your purchase. For full-timers, it will feel like you are buying real estate. After all, your home is an important investment in your future. Some people appreciate having a regular home, a permanent plot of land where you can return, even if only for a few weeks or months each year. Others desire the freedom that comes with life on the road. Selling your home and eliminating property tax, utilities and worries that go with all of that can be a relief for some people. It's your decision.
Accessories & Supplies RVs come with accessories and supplies that will make your trips enjoyable. You may want a satellite TV, Internet access and upscale furnishings to complete your RV. Other people want a simple vehicle. They prefer to minimize their equipment and gear to keep themselves happy while on the road. It all depends on your budget and preferences. Your RV lifestyle can be everything you want it to be. Whether you want a basic motorhome in the woods or an upscale land yacht, owning an RV is all about making your hopes and dreams come true.
