What’s New for
Phase Two of Your Life
ne xt Senior Real Estate Specialists Bruce & Jeanne Nemovitz
W
e began focusing on senior’s real estate issues about 20 years ago when Jeanne and I were asked to speak at a senior community. There was a need for empathy and understanding of the issues older adults and their families face when transitioning from their long time home to a senior community. There was such a powerful response from those listening to our talk. We realized at that moment that this was our calling! Jeanne and I also felt a need to impact the lives of our clients in a powerful way, and working with our senior clients fit the bill! I decided to put my writing skills to work by authoring two books relating to the topic of preparing and downsizing a home of many years, selling a home, and moving to a senior apartment or community. We developed so many wonderful relationships throughout the 4-county Milwaukee-Metro area as our talks expanded to various senior communities. Jeanne and I then began to form a team of professionals dedicated to serving our senior population’s real estate needs such as contractors, handymen, packing and sorting companies, moving companies, staging and all the other services needed to help make their move a smooth and successful journey to their new home. About 13 years ago, I wrote my first article for 50 Plus Magazine and have been writing monthly articles ever since. I try to focus on real estate issues that are taking
place in real time that affect our 50 plus readers. The readership has grown over the years and I receive quite a bit of positive feedback from my readers thanking me for focusing on older adults and providing needed information. I have had the honor to help educate my fellow Realtors by giving webinars, seminars, and collaborating with other agents who are also focusing their efforts or helping and guiding their clients through this tough transition. Jeanne and I were recently honored by being a team finalist in the Better Business Ethics Awards for our efforts in working with our senior clients and their families. We are constantly learning from our very wise elderly homeowners and developing new and better solutions to meet the demands and issues of those transitioning to a senior community. Jeanne and I love what we do and know that in some small way we are impacting the lives of our seniors and their families in a positive way. We are given the gift of being a part of their lives at such a critical time in their lives. We could never have imagined that our real estate careers would be so fulfilling and gratifying. Thank you for reading my articles and the privilege of helping guide both you and your families through your real estate journey.

t Tudor Oaks Senior Living Community our comprehensive Wellness programs enable residents to engage in all aspects of wellness. As many people know, a holistic wellness lifestyle is good for your overall health. According to the International Council on Active Aging, “78% of mature adults know the benefits of exercising. However, only 40% participate nationwide.” Why is this? Common stereotypic attitudes about aging emerge as a result of widely held false beliefs about the aging process.
your life is critical to your quality of life as you age. Just as Tudor Oaks has embraced this philosophy, so have the residents, with 64% consistently active in Wellness Programs. Tudor Oaks offers a variety of over 30 classes per week that focus on the skills, muscles and activities essential to an active lifestyle, concentrating on improving balance, gait, flexibility, strength, and posture. If classes are not quite your speed, we also offer self-directed and individualized programming options. Our equipment, exercise selection, and exercise progressions are specialized for the aging adult. Remaining physically active is just one facet of the program but is key to engaging in the aspects of a holistic wellness lifestyle. If you have any questions give us a call at 414-529-0100 - and stop by Tudor Oaks to take a tour of our Wellness Center. Information provided by Tudor Oaks Senior Living Community, Muskego, WI
Several of the misleading beliefs about aging are: • Aging affects everyone in the same way. The reality is that people age differently and at different rates depending on a number of factors. • Aging cannot be altered or reversed. Today, we can slow down, prevent, postpone, or even reverse biomarkers of aging. • People peak early in life then begin to decline. In point of fact, middle and later adulthood are prime times for developing the potential to remain healthy and active. At Tudor Oaks we understand the realities of the aging process and have adopted a philosophy of bringing wellness to residents where they live, our community. With the reduction of household responsibilities and having your wellness resources under one roof, we eliminate two of the biggest reawned and operated by American Baptist Homes of the Midwest, a not-for-profit provider of senior housing and healthcare since 1930. sons people of all ages don’t stay active and fit: time and inconvenience.

The Fireside Dinner Theatre is recognized as one of the Midwest’s premiere visitor attractions. The philosophy remains the same as the day they opened in 1964; that people will come to where they have been invited and will return to where they have been made to feel welcome. Every visit to The Fireside begins with a personal greeting and escort to your table to enjoy a memorable dining experience with warm, friendly service. Before or after dining, you can browse our charming specialty gift shops or
enjoy a cocktail in the lounge. Then, you will enter the intimate theatre-in-the-round for an exciting professional theatre experience that features Equity actors, singers and dancers from across the country. Menus vary by show and performance time, but are all served dinners except for the Thursday Evening Signature Buffet and the Sunday Brunch Buffet. Executive Chef Michael Scott and his staff use only the highest quality ingredients as everything from the soups and sauces to pastries and desserts are prepared from scratch in The Fireside kitchens. The facility is fully accessible to guests with disabilities and there is plenty of safe, free parking on site. The Fireside’s performance schedule includes seven shows weekly year-round
with matinees on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, evening shows Thursday and Saturday, and a Midday show on Sunday. During the run of MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET there will also be two shows on Fridays in December. Whether you travel with a group from your church, bank, senior center or other organization via motorcoach or on your own with friends and family, The Fireside is a relaxing day out for people of all ages. The dinner theatre packages are an excellent value and the hospitality of the Klopcic Family and their staff is legendary. See for yourself why it’s become such a favorite Wisconsin attraction!

Want to retire right? Invest in your sight.
T
Steps to Take
Questions to Ask
Mark Freedman, MD, urges people to be informed partners in their eye care by asking questions, like:
Will you have a bright, clear future or a retirement clouded by poor vision? The picture may be up to you. “Up to 50% of all blindness in the U.S. is preventable—if people pursue prompt diagnosis and treatment,” says Daniel Ferguson, MD. His partner at Eye Care Specialists, one of the state’s leading ophthalmology practices, Daniel Paskowitz, MD, PhD, adds, “Planning and investing in regular eye check-ups can benefit your sight, attitude, freedom and bank account.” Michael Raciti, MD, explains, “Age-related vision impairment is a leading cause of disability and nursing home placement. It creates increased expenses in terms of doctor visits, special transportation, medical supplies and services.” David Scheidt, OD, adds, “Vision loss also causes: difficulty doing tasks (cleaning, cooking, reading, seeing to take medicine, etc.); an increase in injuries, falls and car accidents; social issues (fear, withdrawal, depression, anger); and loss of freedom (to drive, shop, work, play, etc.).” Brett Rhode, MD, offers the following tips for seeing life to the fullest—now and in the future: ■ Schedule comprehensive, dilated eye exams every 2-4 years ages 40-64 and every 1-2 years age 65+ to check for cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions. ■ Talk to your doctor. Discuss your concerns. Ask questions (see suggestions at right). ■ Follow surgery/treatment recommendations. ■ Be an informed partner in your own care. Educate yourself. Read about disease symptoms and the latest diagnostic tools and treatment procedures. Call 414-321-7035 for free booklets on the leading causes of visual loss in retirement—cataracts, diabetes, glaucoma and macular degeneration.
■ What is my visual acuity (on the 20/20 scale)? ■ Do I have any eye diseases or disorders? ■ What caused my condition? Is it hereditary? ■ How will this condition affect my vision
and lifestyle—now and in the future?
■ Should I watch for any particular
symptoms and notify you if they occur?
■ What kinds of tests do I need? Why? When? ■ What is the best medical/surgical treatment for me? ■ When will treatment start, and how long will it last? ■ What are the risks, side effects, benefits
and success rates of this treatment?
■ Are other treatments available? ■ Are there foods, drugs, or activities
I should avoid while I'm being treated?
■ If my treatment includes taking a medication,
what should I do if I miss a dose?
■ Will changing my diet, exercise or other lifestyle
habits help improve my condition? Would eyerelated vitamin & mineral supplements be helpful?
■ If my vision can’t be corrected, can you refer me
for low vision resources and rehabilitation services?
See the best you can see, when you see the leaders in ophthalmology.

EYE CARE SPECIALISTS
Are you putting your vision at risk? Most people aren’t motivated to make an eye appointment unless they notice a problem—and often not even then. What they don’t realize is that many sight‐threatening conditions have no warning signs. But, if you know the risks, symptoms, tests and treatment options for common eye concerns, you’re more likely to take action. We can help. Call 414‐321‐7035 for detailed free booklets on cataracts, glaucoma, AMD, and diabetes. Then, consider: When was your last eye exam? If it was more than a year ago, call today to protect your vision for tomorrow.

A
t Becker Property Services, LLC, we advise anyone planning to retire to plan ahead. Planning will allow you to make choices rather than have choices made for you. Planning will also permit you to make decisions and choices on your schedule, not someone else’s. Failure to plan is planning to fail. You don’t want to be forced into making choices and decisions about your life that you are not ready or prepared to make, so plan ahead. Becker Property Services, LLC can help you find affordable senior housing. It is our job to develop and manage affordable housing for seniors, age 62 and older. We have developed nearly 100 buildings that provide affordable housing options for senior and disabled populations across the country, with a majority of those located in Wisconsin. Our company currently manages six apartment buildings in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties for senior citizens age 62 and older. These buildings are located in the communities of Cudahy, West Milwaukee, West Allis, and Waukesha. Becker Property Services, LLC was initially established when Becker Consulting Services was organized and formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1984 by Joseph P. Becker. Prior to his private consulting activity in 1984, Joseph Becker was a HUD official for 15 years. His interest in providing housing consultant services stems from experience in planning, developing, operating, and administering housing programs for HUD clients.
In 1988, Kenneth Becker joined the Becker Consulting Services. Since 1988, Kenneth Becker has served as a consultant or co-consultant for numerous housing developments for senior and disabled populations. His interest in providing housing consultant services stems from his experience in banking and finance, and the awareness of the need to develop housing resources for low and moderate income persons, particularly for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and financially disadvantaged individuals. It was in 2002 that Kenneth Becker formed Becker Property Services, LLC, which provides full service property management in addition to encompassing the consulting and development functions of Becker Consulting Services. Today, Becker Property Services provides a full array of consulting, development, and management services. Becker Property Services, LLC manages buildings that are affordable, safe, secure, and barrier free. We offer rent subsidized (tenants pay 30% of their income for rent) one bedroom apartments for senior citizens age 62 and older.

True Comforts of Home
W
immer Communities Senior Residences have been around for a long time. In that time we have learned one thing for sure. Seniors want the true comforts of home. The Centennial in Oak Creek and The Silvernail in Pewaukee offer just that! We’ve learned from our residents and guests that when it’s time to move to a senior community, the important factors are affordability without having to give up great amenities and a sense of home. We know it can be a tough transition from a home of 50+ years to a senior community, so we’re here to help through that transition. One of the greatest things about senior communities is that everyone is walking the same path of life as you! There is a real comfort in that alone. At the Centennial and Silvernail, we focus on the residents and their needs as they age. What your needs are at the time of move-in may be different than what they are in 2 years, 5 years, 10 years down the line. We recognize this and work hard to continually meet your needs. We offer the true comforts of home with our amenities, activities and exceptional neighborly feeling from the moment you walk in the door. We offer conveniences that make your life easier, which include our on-site chapel, country store, fitness room, salon, libraries, computer room, car wash area, wellness programs and van transportation grocery shopping and more!
We also recognize the importance of fun! Our staff puts in hours of time each month planning and coordinating large and small activities with a wide range of interest – live entertainment, wii bowling, seasonal parties, bingo, to name just a few. We offer outside trips such as theatre trips, sporting events, musical entertainment or wherever the residents choose to go! Wellness is an important focus, too ~ whatever we can do to keep our seniors healthy, mentally and physically, is a great investment in our communities. You’ll regularly see podiatry services, hearing testing and hearing aid repairs, flu clinics and fitness classes on our monthly calendar and our newly staffed wellness clinic open 3 days a week! We take great pride in the caring staff that oversees our communities – providing well managed and clean buildings, including 24/7 maintenance, activities and wellness programs, which collectively add enjoyment to your independent lifestyle! We embrace the unique qualities our seniors offer making our communities interesting and exciting. We’re continually amazed at the talent and knowledge that our residents share. We encourage it. We embrace it. We love it! We’d love for you to find comfort in one of our communities. Please be our guest and visit us soon. We’d love to meet you! (See our ad below)

4 Tips for Smooth Downsizing Dreaming of juggling fewer possessions and becoming free of property maintenance? Downsizing means more focus on yourself, family, relationships, and life experiences. After helping hundreds of people settle into their new home at Three Pillars, we’re pleased to share some advice to help in your transition: 1. Take care of #1 Before and after sorting, organizing, or packing, be sure to get plenty of rest and be kind to your brain and body. 2. Evaluate the essentials Set aside time to give thoughtful consideration to “need versus want” of your possessions. Downsizing doesn’t mean everything must go - hold onto some treasures. 3. Survey your storage Consider the storage space you’ll have in your new place, being realistic about keeping some larger or seasonal items in storage. 4. Get organized Begin packing early and devise a plan for a solid labeling system. Fold, roll, or add dividers to keep the inside of boxes organized.
