GOLDEN AGE NEWSLETTER CHANGES

As a reader of our newsletter, we want to thank you for your continued support of our Golden Age Newsletter. We hope you are enjoying the arti-cles, information, and activities each month. Because the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Buffalo and Pepin Counties, also known as the ADRC, covers Pepin and Buffalo Counties, you will start to notice some content changes. We will be posting not only the menus for the Pepin County meal sites but also the Buffalo County ones as well. If the menu on a particular day catches your eye, feel free to go to that meal site for a meal, as your county of residence doesn’t prohibit you from participating in the Grab N Go meal program in another county. Also with addi-tions to the newsletter, you may see some content less frequently or completely removed. The birth-day list is being removed starting in January due to the fact that it is very hard to keep up to date and often times, there are errors. We strive to pro-vide you with meaningful articles and information. Please contact the ADRC at www.adrc-bp@co.pepin.wi.us or 866-578-2372 with any questions.

Winter’s Coming By Judy Thorn

Wind is blowing all around. Soon snow will be falling down. White and sparkling on the trees, That last month still had leaves.

Time to build a snowman, And get out the sleds.

Then we snuggle down, In our nice warm beds.

Good smells come from the kitchen, Where Mother’s busy mixing up

Pumpkin pies and ginger breadmen, With raisins for eyes.

Thanksgiving is a special day, When we give thanks to Him and pray,

For all our blessings and our friends Who gather around this special day.

The turkey, we roast, and make a toast To our favorite holiday host.

We remember all our favorite times, And that is why I made this rhyme.

Remember to Stay Up to Date on Recommended Vaccines! By GWAAR Legal Services Team

Vaccines are the best way we have to prevent some infectious diseases. While many serious diseases are no longer common in the United States because of vaccines, these diseases still exist and can spread when people aren’t vaccinated. Not only does getting vaccinated protect you, but it also protects those around you. Because some people have medical conditions that prevent them from getting vaccinated or developing immunity after being vaccinated, it is important for others to get vaccinated so that these diseases are less common.

You can use the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) adult vaccine assessment tool to find out which vaccines are recommended for your age, health conditions, job, and lifestyle. The tool is available here: https://www2.cdc.gov/nip/adultimmsched/. Talk to your doctor about whether you have missed any vaccines. Even if you received the vaccines you needed as a child, the protection from some vaccines can wear off. It is especially important for people with chronic health conditions to be up to date on recommended vaccines because they may be at increased risk for complications from certain vaccine-preventable diseases.

Every year, thousands of adults in the United States become seriously ill and are hospitalized because of vaccine-preventable diseases. Unfortunately, many of these people die from these diseases. One of these diseases is influ-enza, or the flu. The flu and pneumonia represent the eighth-leading cause of death in the United States. The CDC estimated that there were tens of millions of cases during the 2019-2020 flu season, which caused tens of thou-sands of deaths.

This fall, it will be especially important for people to be vaccinated against the flu. In many parts of the country, the COVID-19 pandemic has strained and even overwhelmed healthcare systems. The 2020-2021 flu season is expected to burden healthcare systems even further. Unfortunately, although a yearly flu vaccine is recommended for everyone six months of age and older, only 45% of adults in the United States were vaccinated during the 2019-2020 flu season. Ask your doctor or clinic when they plan to have the flu vaccine available for the upcoming flu season. The CDC recommends that you receive the vaccine by the end of October.

If you are on Medicare, most vaccines that your doctor recommends will be covered by your Medicare prescription drug plan. Medicare prescription drug plans are required to cover most commercially available vaccines, includ-ing the vaccine for shingles. The only exceptions are the vaccines for flu, pneumonia, and hepatitis B, which are covered by Part B. Please note that SeniorCare does not cover any vaccines.

The amount you pay for your vaccine will vary depending on where you get vaccinated. Check your Medicare prescription drug plan’s documents for information about how the plan covers vaccines.

Vaccine Type Medicare Coverage Coverage Rules

Influenza (flu) Part B Medicare pays for (and recommends) one shot every flu season. Additional flu vaccines may be covered if con-sidered medically necessary.

Pneumonia Part B Medicare pays for two shots, per Medicare guidelines, recommended for all adults aged 65+ and younger adults with chronic health conditions.

Hepatitis B Part B Series of three shots, paid for by Medicare for high- or medium-risk individuals, including those with hemophilia, end stage renal disease, diabetes, and other chronic con-ditions that lower resistance to infection.

Shingles All Medicare prescription drug plans must cover

Two shots paid for (and recommended) after age 60. Patient must check with Part D plan to find out specific rules for administration and payment.

Celebrate Caregiving by Pledging to Care for Yourself

November is Na#onal Family Caregiver Month, a #me to recognize the many hard working and devoted people who make it their mis-sion to keep a loved one happy and safe. There are thousands of caregivers across Wisconsin who are selflessly pu%ng their own lives on hold to make sure their loved ones are being cared for. But who will care for the caregiver? Ideally rela#ves, friends, and neighbors

are there to help but in order to truly be a healthy caregiver, there must be a promise to care for oneself. The Family Caregiver Alliance laid the groundwork for caregivers to do just that. Please read A Caregiver’s Pledge and take the pledge to not only care for your loved one, but to care for YOU.

A Caregiver’s Pledge 1. I will understand that I can’t care for anyone else if I also don’t care for myself. I will keep an image in my

mind of pu%ng the oxygen mask on myself first. 2. I will remember that the only person I can change is myself. I cannot change my loved one who is ill, nor my

family members. 3. I will find opportuni#es to laugh, daily. These might come in movies, jokes, television, or with friends who

can see the humor in my situa#on and remind me to do the same. 4. I will get away from my caregiving du#es on a regular basis, even if it is just to walk around the block. But I

will also find ways to have lunch with a friend, go to a movie, window shop, breathe in fresh air, watch the sunset, or eat a hot fudge sundae.

5. I will visit a support group, either online (wisconsincaregiver.org) or in person in my community, so that I know that I am not alone. If a support group isn’t right for me, I will find a friend to talk to, call my family consultant, or a"end a workshop.

6. I will learn as much as I can about my loved one’s illness so I can be"er care for him or her with understand-ing. I will learn techniques that will make caregiving easier for both of us.

7. I will say “yes” when people offer to help. I will make a list of things they can do and post it on the refrigera-tor, so that when those offers come, I’ll be ready. When there are not offers, I will ask for help, even though it might be hard to do so.

8. I will use community resources—such as Meals on Wheels, paratransit, day care programs, and volunteer respite programs—to help make my caregiving du#es easier.

9. I will find something I really like to do and make sure I find #me to do it on a regular basis. Just because I am a caregiver, doesn’t mean I have to give up everything that is meaningful to me. I will read, knit, garden, scrapbook, do genealogy or woodworking for a designated period of #me every week.

10. I will remember that I am loved and appreciated, even when my loved one can’t tell me that. I will honor the nurturing, responsibility, caring and support that I provide to my loved one as a gi' I give.

If you need informa#on about local resources or have specific ques#ons about your caregiving journey, please call The Aging and Disability Resource Center of Buffalo and Pepin Coun"es toll free 866-578-2372.

The Veteran’s Office: FROM: The Office of U.S. Sena-tor Tammy Baldwin

Now that we are entering flu season, Senator Baldwin wanted to make sure you were aware free flu shots are available through the VA for eligible Veterans.

If you are enrolled in VA health care, you can receive the seasonal flu vaccination at more than 60,000 locations through the Community Care Network in-network retail pharmacies and urgent care partners. VA will pay for standard-dose and high-dose flu shots. Even if you haven’t had a flu shot lately, make this the year that you do!

This wellness benefit is only for Veterans en-rolled in the VA health care system. Family members and TRICARE members are not eligible. To check eligibility, contact your local VA medical facility OR call 844-MyVA311 (844-698-2311), select option 1, and then select option 1 again.

If you’re eligible, simply go to an in-network retail pharmacy or urgent care location and present a valid, government-issued identifica-tion (e.g. Veterans Health ID Card, Depart-ment of Defense ID card, state-issued driver's license or ID card, etc.) to receive your free flu shot. No appointment or VA referral is re-quired.

You may also receive a no-cost flu shot dur-ing any scheduled VA appointment, if you are admitted to a VA health care facility or one of the VA’s convenient walk-in flu stations.

Whether you choose to get your free flu shot at your local VA health care facility or an in-network community retail pharmacy or urgent care location, your VA medical record will be updated either way. Visit the address below for more information and to find flu shot loca-tion(s) near you.

Sheri Peterson, Veteran’s Service Officer

Just yesterday I was sitting on our little pon-toon fishing with warm sunshine, thinking that the week prior we were on the same lake, bundled up, with temps of about 42 degrees. What a difference a week or a day will make. Life is kind of like the seasons. It keeps changing every day and you keep wondering what “this” day will bring. So, you start the day thanking Him for a new day, and hope you will hear His voice saying “it’s okay, I’ve got you covered”. Life goes on. Last month I told you that the Riverview Community Center would be holding their annual Christmas Bazaar with some changes. The Bazaar is set for Dec. 5th between the hours of 9:00am -2:00pm. We will have Christmas gift items for sale, no thrift sale, a baked goods table with everything wrapped, and a carry out lunch of Barbeque, chips, bar and beverage. There will also be a raffle for prizes with the drawing at 2:00pm. We are asking for donations of baked goods and Christmas items for the sale. (Some tins and other containers will be available at the Center if you need them.) Something different this year will be “love lights” for trees to be dis-played either along the driveway along the river or in the Center windows. A donation of $5.00 will cover a light and an ornament (or one you wish to bring) for the tree. One tree will be in red bulbs in memory of a loved one gone but not forgotten. Another will be lit with blue bulbs honoring our mili-tary, firefighters, police officers and all medical personnel serving our country. The final tree will be white bulbs denoting those family and friends still living who are endearing to us. Trees will be up by the first part of December and remain until January 12th. (If frozen into the ground, they may be up later than that but not lit) Please contact Char Byington at Riverview Center 672-4101 with any questions. At our last Board Meeting on September 22, we were hap-py to welcome two volunteers to fill the open positions. Zita Stewart and Lois Laehn have volunteered to serve on the Board of the Pepin County Council of Senior Citizens, bringing with them years of experience serving Pepin County citizens. We are very appreciative of their acceptance and look for-ward to working with them to bring new life and talent to the Riverview Center. If any of our members are not receiving the Golden Age News by mail or unable to pick them up at the drop sites, please call our office at 715-672-4101. It is important to us that you are being kept advised of what the Senior Center is doing, and the opportunities for service by the ADRC. A reminder that Riverview Center is available for rental if you are planning on any get togethers which require space for social distancing. In case you are wondering, the monster patch has not gotten me yet. We have found over ten varieties of mutated pump-kins, squash and gourds and although they are pretty to look at, they are not really edible. Marge Briggs

Just a reminder we are approaching the time of year when bad weather may prevent us from providing Home-Delivered and Grab N Go meals. This year will be a bit different due to the pandemic and COVID-19. We cannot solely rely on school closings to alert us as some may be virtual or on a holiday break, and our own congregate sites have yet to re-open. This year, the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Buffalo and Pepin Counties will be making the decision on whether meal sites will be closed.

We will base this decision on input from meteorologists and local County Highway personnel, along with if there are var-ious school closings in Buffalo and Pepin Counties. Also, be sure to fill your cupboard and freezer with your favorite “emergency” foods for the winter months in case we can’t deliver meals. Please contact our office if you have any ques-tions at 866-578-2372.
