In November
National Family Caregiver Month is celebrated each year in November.
In what better month could we express our gratitude for the 90 million
family caregivers nationwide that provide countless hours of care to their
loved ones?
The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) would like to thank all family
caregivers for the selfless acts you do each day. We encourage you to
make caregiving for yourself a priority as a caregiver.
In observation of the month, below are "10 Tips for Family Caregivers" we wanted to share from the Caregiver Action Network (
www.caregiveraction.org). Share these with a family caregiver who could benefit from the information:
1) Seek support from other caregivers. You are not alone!
2) Take care of your own health so that you can be strong enough to take care of your loved one.
3) Accept offers of help and suggest specific things people can do to help you.
4) Learn how to communicate effectively with doctors.
5) Caregiving is hard work, so take respite breaks often.
6) Watch out for signs of depression and don't delay getting professional help when you need it.
7) Be open to new technologies that can help you care for your loved one.
8) Organize medical information so that it's up to date and easy to find.
9) Make sure legal documents are in order.
10) Give yourself credit for doing the best you can!
The Caregiver Support Program at the AAA7 is designed to assist caregivers with finding answers about how their caregiving role impacts their life and where to find resources and services to decrease caregiver stress. Caregivers may be caring for an older adult, their adult child with a disability, or the caregiver may be a grandparent caring for their grandchildren or non-relative child. Services include assessments, training, information and assistance, supplemental services, respite, as well as answers and counseling. For more information about the Caregiver Support Program through the Area Agency on Aging District 7, please call 1-800-582-7277.

OPEN ENROLLMENT for MEDICARE
Ends December 7th
AAA7 Available for Assistance and Help
Are you a Medicare beneficiary? Are you aware that open
enrollment for some Medicare benefits ends December 7th? Open
enrollment is the time of the year when changes can be made in the
plans and providers you've chosen for your Medicare Part D prescription
drug coverage and/or Medicare Advantage option. If you wish to make
changes, you can only do so between October 15th and December 7th. Open enrollment is also a good time to run drug comparisons to make sure the Medicare Part D plan you are on is still your best option as Medicare Part D plans do change from year to year.
Individuals who receive the Low Income Subsidy (LIS) can change their plans anytime of the year. Even if you are receiving help through LIS, it is a good idea to check your plans to make sure all of your medications will be covered on your current plan for 2017.
The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) is a local resource you can utilize for assistance with the open enrollment process and can be reached by calling 1-800-582-7277.
To be eligible for Medicare health insurance plans, you must be at least 65, or be on Social Security disability for two years, and be a US resident or legal citizen for at least five years.
Original Medicare, sometimes referred to as Part A and Part B, helps with hospital, doctor and outpatient services. More than likely, a Medicare supplement is needed in order to cover the costs not covered by Part A and Part B. Medicare Advantage, or Part C, combines Part A, B and D in to one plan. During open enrollment, beneficiaries have the opportunity to make changes to these plans that provides better support for their health and well-being. It's a time to change what doesn't work and keep what does.
More information about Medicare plans and options is available at www.medicare.gov.
Locally, the AAA7 is available as a resource to those in its ten-county district who would like assistance with Medicare or open enrollment. Counties covered by the AAA7 include Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. For questions or assistance, call toll-free at 1-800-582-7277, extension 250.
