A Salute to Vietnam Era Veterans
When we think of Vietnam
Veterans, everyone can probably
think of a way they were directly
touched through a family member
or friend in the service. In fact,
Vietnam Veterans represented
9.7% of their generation with
2,709,918 Americans serving in
uniform in Vietnam.* This
October, in honor of their service,
Monroe Mayor William Ross has
deemed October as Vietnam
Veterans Month.
In salute to Vietnam Veterans
Month and all veterans who have
served, the Behring Senior Center
and Aging & Disability Resource
Center are planning veteran
specific events. First, the Behring
Senior Center is putting on A
Salute to Vietnam Era Veterans
on Sunday, October 4th at the
Monroe High School at 1:30 pm. It
will be featuring presentations
from Army Photographer Pete
Finnegan with his exhibit: “Good
Soldier/Bad Soldier”; Steve
Saunders, Author; JR Robertson,
Vietnam Veteran; Clayton
Ruegsegger, Green County
Veterans Services; and Kay Krebs
with a Family Member Tribute.
This event will also give special
recognition to those who served
from Green County. This is open
to the public and to all veterans, so
please join us in this salute.
We then invite you to join us at
Blends & Friends Café for our first
Veterans Café on Monday,
October 5th from 7:30 to 10:30
am. Connect and meet other
veterans from the area or discuss
the event from Sunday over
breakfast. Blends & Friends Café
is located in the Behring Senior
Center and breakfast is available
on a donation basis for those age
60+. Coffee is also available for
purchase. The Veterans Cafe will
continue to meet the 1st Monday
of every month.
Lastly, if you are a Green County
veteran who needs assistance with
transportation to attend medical
appointments, socialize, or meet
your basic needs call the ADRC
and ask about our Driver Escort
Program. Driver Escorts use their
own vehicle to help those who
need transportation to Madison,
Janesville, the VA Clinic, and
many other places. We even have
veterans who are drivers and
specifically drive other vets. If you
still like to drive, Driver Escort
could be a great opportunity for
you too. Call the ADRC at 608328-9499 for more information.
More than words can say…your
courage, your dedication, your
patriotism is appreciated each and
every day!

Medicare Part D 2016
Open Enrollment
by Linda Gallagher, Elder Benefit Specialist
Even if you’re happy with your current Medicare Part D
plan, it’s still wise to check if there are plans that offer better
drug coverage at a more affordable price.
Medicare’s open enrollment period (OEP) for Medicare Part
D comes only once a year. This year the OEP is October 15 –
December 7, 2015. If you are 65 and over, this is the time to
review and make changes to your Medicare supplemental
drug coverage. If you enroll in a plan during fall open
enrollment your new coverage will begin January 1, 2016.
Seniors and their families can use the online Medicare Plan
Finder to input individual prescription lists to find a plan
that best fits their needs. Instructions for using the plan
finder can be found on the ADRC web page:
adrcgreencounty.org. If using the computer isn’t an option
the ADRC can do a personalized plan for you. Call the Elder
Benefit Specialist at 328-9366 to request a form to be mailed
to you. Family Care members should contact their case
manager. Persons enrolled in Senior Care do not have to
enroll in a Medicare Part D plan as Senior Care is creditable
prescription drug coverage.
Medicare Part D is one of the federal government’s most
successful programs and a program that affects the lives of
millions of Americans. Part D provides Medicare
beneficiaries in every state a choice of competing, affordable
prescription drug plans to meet their medication needs.
Here are the Part D projected changes for 2016:
• Initial Deductible: will be increased by
$40 to $360 in 2016. (not all plans have a
deductible)
• Initial Coverage Limit: will increase from
$2,960 in 2015 to $3,310 in 2016.
• Out-of-Pocket Threshold: will increase
from $4,700 in 2015 to $4,850 in 2016.
• Coverage Gap (donut hole): begins once
you reach your Medicare Part D plan’s initial
coverage limit ($3,310 in 2016) and ends
when you spend a total of $4,850 in 2016.
In 2016, Part D enrollees will receive a 55%
discount on the total cost of their brandname drugs purchased while in the donut
hole. The 50% discount paid by the brandname drug manufacturer will apply to getting
out of the donut hole; however the additional
5% paid by your Medicare Part D plan will
not count toward your TrOOP. (True out-ofpocket costs)
For example: if you reach the donut hole
and purchase a brand-name medication with
a retail cost of $100, you will pay $45 for the
medication, and receive $95 credit toward
meeting your 2016 total out-of-pocket
spending limit.
Enrollees will pay a maximum of 58% copay on generic drugs purchased while in the
coverage gap (a 42% discount). For example:
If you reach the 2016 donut hole, and your
generic medication has a retail cost of $100,
you will pay $58. The $58 that you spend
will count toward your TrOOP.
• Minimum Cost-sharing in the
Catastrophic Coverage Portion of the
Benefit: will increase to greater of 5% or
$2.95 for generic or preferred drug that is a
multi-source drug and the greater of 5% or
$7.40 for all other drugs in 2016.
• Maximum Co-payments below the Outof-Pocket Threshold for certain Low
Income Full Subsidy Eligible Enrollees:
will increase to $2.95 for generic or preferred
drug that is a multi-source drug and $7.40 for
all other drugs in 2016.

enrollment or Medicare in general contact,

Green County is Working to Become A
Dementia-Friendly Community!
Imagine this, your spouse or parent
is living with dementia and they
want to go to the local grocery
store. You are reluctant to take
them because you are not sure
what they will do or say. What if
my loved one gets overwhelmed or
anxious and becomes upset at the
register? What if they get confused
and take something from the store,
not realizing they still need to pay
for it? How will the employees and
other customers respond and what
will they think?
This scenario is similar to what
many individuals with dementia
and their loved ones have to face.
How do we support them so that
they can continue to be valuable,
active participants in our
communities?
The Green County Caregiver
Coalition is starting exciting
efforts to create dementia-friendly
communities in our county. We
many times think that people with
dementia are living in a facility,
but in reality the majority of them
are living at home. We need to
work together to help make our
communities a place where
individuals with dementia can live
a high quality of life. We want
them to maintain their
independence, but be there to
support and guide them when it is
needed. Dementia-friendly
communities are all about
increasing the awareness and
understanding of dementia to
decrease the isolation and stigma.
One aspect of the development of
dementia-friendly communities
includes creating awareness within
businesses and organizations so
that individuals impacted by
dementia do not become isolated.
We want those impacted to feel
more comfortable so they can
continue to go to the places that
they are familiar with and enjoy,
such as local restaurants, grocery
stores, banks, and shops. To
establish this, individuals working
within these environments
participate in training that aims to
increase their awareness of
dementia and the need for
patience, compassion, and a proper
approach when interacting with
people who live with dementia.
Businesses and organizations that
participate in the dementia-friendly
training can promote this by using
the purple angel decal (pictured
above) on their store entrances and
websites.
The purple angel is the
international symbol for dementiafriendly communities.
If you are interested in joining the
dementia-friendly community
initiative or want to learn more
about becoming dementia-friendly,
contact the Aging & Disability
Resource Center to connect with
Whitney Thompson, the Dementia
Care Specialist by calling 608-4264295.

Caring for a loved one with dementia
Are you caring for someone with
Alzheimer’s or a related dementia?
Feeling overwhelmed or unsure of
where to turn for help and support?
There are funds and support
available to help you. The
Alzheimer’s Family and Caregiver
Support Program (AFCSP) as well
as the National Family Caregiver
Support Program (NFCSP) are
programs that are managed through
the Aging and Disability Resource
Center. These programs are
designed to provide support to you,
the caregiver, to assure you can
continue to provide the care you
wish to without becoming
exhausted or “burned out”.
Numerous services, agencies and
options exist but it’s often difficult
to know where to find them. An
Information and Assistance
Specialist will meet with you to
provide support and help you
navigate through the maze of all
you need to know as a caregiver. It
is common for caregivers to feel
stress as well as anger, guilt,
frustration, isolation, and
unhappiness. However, even
though it can be quite demanding,
being a caregiver can also be
rewarding. Providing for the needs
of someone you care about can be
very satisfying.
The key to being a successful
caregiver is to reduce stress by
accepting assistance, seeking
support and taking good care of
yourself. Taking time away from
caregiving duties, even for a brief
period, will benefit both you and
the person you are caring for. By
sharing the work load, your load
will be lessened and you have more
physical and mental energy to share
with your loved one.
Along with ongoing support, these
programs also pay for some of the
expenses related to the care of the
person with dementia. Some
examples of services that are
allowable include (but are not
limited to):
• Home care services (including
personal care assistance, meal
preparation, medication assistance,
homemaker services, supportive
home care, etc)
• Respite care (someone to provide
care in your absence, either in your
Linnea Guse, LA Klug, Amber Russell, & Mandy Johnsen
Information & Assistance Specialists of ADRC
home or in a facility)
• Adult Day programs
• Home safety modifications
• Some medications (dementia or
behavioral)
• Home delivered meals
• Supplies for urinary incontinence
• Project Lifesaver or other
wandering programs
• Other services that allow the
individual with dementia to remain
in the community
If you or someone you know could
benefit from these programs, we
would love to hear from you. We
want to support you through your
caregiving journey. To find out
more about the Alzheimer’s Family
and Caregiver Support Program
contact the Aging & Disability
Resource Center at 608-328-9499.
Core Needs & Dementia
Dementia Care Specialist Corner
By: Whitney Thompson, MPH, CHES, Dementia Care Specialist for the ADRC of SW WI
We all have the
same core needs,
regardless of
whether or not
we have
dementia. Some
of those needs
include feeling
useful, having
Whitney Thompson,
MPH, CHES
our self-esteem
boosted, giving and receiving love,
and caring for ourselves and others.
Keep these core needs in mind
when you are interacting with an
individual with dementia. How can
you make them feel useful? How
can you boost their self-esteem?
How can they care for you?
The quality of life of an individual
with dementia can improve when
they are engaged in activities they
enjoy and feel useful and
purposeful completing.
Many times as caregivers it can be
easier and faster to take over tasks
such as household chores, but
individuals with dementia may feel
a sense of purpose if they are able
to contribute. If they are not able to
complete the entire task safely and
free of frustration it may be helpful
to adapt the task. For example, if
they like to cook, but can no longer
safely do so on their own, they
could be responsible for rinsing the
vegetables. This can make them
feel useful.
Keep some of the other core needs
in mind. How can we boost their
self-esteem and show them how
they care for themselves and
others? In the example of helping
with dinner by rinsing the
vegetables, we can thank them for
their help and talk about how much
we appreciate and admire all of the
delicious meals they have prepared
for us over the years. This is an
example of how to apply core
needs of individuals to improve
their quality of life, but each
individual with dementia is unique.
Be creative and remember their life
story.
If you are impacted by dementia
and looking for more education and
support, contact the Aging &
Disability Resource Center in
Green County to get connected to
the Dementia Care Specialist by
calling 608-328-9499. Know you
are not alone!

Safe Travels with Stepping On
Sarah loved spending time with
her grandson. It was the highlight
of her week. They used to play
soccer every time he came over.
It kept her fit and young. But as
kids grow their schedules change
and so was the case for Sarah and
her grandson about two years ago.
Sarah lost her teammate to play
soccer with, and began to sit more
than she should. Sarah said, “I
got fatter and stiffer the more I
sat, but I didn’t know what I
could do about it.” This year
Sarah decided she wanted to do
some traveling and go to London,
but she didn’t think she could. “ I
was too weak,” she said “I
worried I wouldn’t make it on the
trip.” Then Sarah signed up for a
Stepping On class being held at
the Behring Senior Center in
Monroe. Week 1 Sarah learned
simple balance and strength
exercises she could do, and how
to advance them. Week 3, Sarah
added a two pound ankle weight
and started to see her balance
improve. By the end of the seven
weeks, Sarah was thrilled with her
progress and ready to travel to
London. “This class has made me
confident enough to take my trip,”
Sarah said with a smile.
Everyone in class applauded her
efforts!
If you have ever fallen or are you
concerned about falling?
Stepping On is a workshop that
can help older adults identify why
they fall and different ways to
prevent falls, including strength
and balance exercises, home
safety check suggestions, and a
medication review. Space is
limited to the first 18 people at
each location. If you are
interested in signing up, please

Resource Center at 608-328-9499.

Nutrition Facts Labels:
Using Labels to Your Advantage
Here are some tips for reading the
label and making smart food
choices:
Check serving and calories.
Compare this number to how
many servings you are actually
eating. You may be surprised that
your can of soup is actually two
servings instead of one. That just
doubled all the sodium and
calories on the label. Keep a
close eye on those serving sizes!
Eat less sugar.
Look for foods and beverages low
in added sugars. Names for
added sugars include sucrose,
glucose, high fructose corn syrup,
corn syrup, maple syrup, and
fructose. Added sugar increase
calories and add zero nutrients to
food. The American Heart
Association recommends limiting
the amount of added sugar you
consume to about 6 teaspoons per
day for women and 9 teaspoons
per day for men.
Know your fats.
Look for foods low in saturated and
trans fats, and cholesterol, to help
reduce the risk of heart disease.
Most of the fats you eat should be
polyunsaturated and
monounsaturated fats, such as those
in fish, nuts, and vegetable oils.
When cooking, stick with oils that
are liquid at room temperature, like
olive oil and not shortening.
Reduce sodium (salt) and increase
potassium.
Research shows that eating less than
2,300 milligrams of sodium (about
1 tsp of salt) per day may reduce the
risk of high blood pressure. To
meet the daily potassium
recommendation of at least 4,700
milligrams, consume fruits and
vegetables, and fat-free and low-fat
milk products, that are sources of
potassium. These include sweet
potatoes, white potatoes, white
beans, plain yogurt, prune juice, and
bananas. These can help reduce
some of sodium’s effect on blood
pressure.
