5 Benefits of Being A Senior Citizen
Getting older is hardly something to look
upon with fear and trepidation. In fact, retirement can offer people the extra time to
do things they always wanted to do but never had time for – and a whole realm of perks
and benefits to make them more enjoyable.
Here are five of them:

Senior fitness has
never been more
popular. There are
immense physical
and emotional benefits to staying
healthy and active as
we age, and communities across the
country are offering
incentives for seniors to maintain a
healthy lifestyle.
Check your local
fitness centers for
special offers as
well as community
centers and churches. You may be surprised how easy it is
to stay fit on the
cheap.
Enjoy Discounted
Travel, Entertainment, and More:
If you have not already done so, look into
membership with AARP (www.aarp.org).
It only costs $16 per year to join and you
can save on dining, cruises, airline tickets,
hotel stays, rental cars, auto repair, apparel,
and countless other benefits. Even without
an AARP membership it is always a good
idea to ask retailers or service providers if
they offer a senior discount. Many of them
do.
Find out if You Qualify for Property Tax
Exemptions:
If you own a home, you may be eligible for
property tax exemptions or Homestead
Credit Benefits. Contact your local comptroller or tax assessor’s
office for additional information because
property tax exemptions
and Homestead Benefits vary by state and
can include credits for
school, county, or other
types of taxes.
Take Advantage of
Medicare Eligibility:
enroll.
If you are retired and
plan on using Medicare
(www.medicare.gov), it
is advisable to get enrolled some time during
the three months before
your 65th birthday. This
assures that you will be
covered the day you
turn 65. It also helps
you to avoid the 10%
cost increase that comes
every year past the age
of 65 that you wait to
Get a Free Medicare Physical:
Medicare offers a one-time physical exam
for free for all individuals covered under
Part B. Utilize the time before you turn 65
to find out which doctors in your area offer
these free exams and what tests they include.

NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT
Summertime is almost here and soon will be the hot temperatures. Please remember to keep yourself hydrated to
avoid dehydration, and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. As we get older, body water content decreases, the
risk for dehydration increases, and the consequences become more serious. Many times the elderly often experience diminished thirst sensation which leads to reduced
fluid consumption. Insufficient fluid intake can also be the
result of limitations such as reduced swallowing capacity,
decreased mobility, or comprehension and communication disorders. So take care of yourself and keep hydrated
by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day!
Joe & Barbara Pittman have been
residents at Primrose since March
2017. They grew up in Monroe County and have known each other all of
their lives. They have been married
60 years, they have four children,
three boys and one girl, six grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren.
Joe has a degree in Agriculture and taught Vo-Ag for a
couple of years, then went to work at Federal Land Bank,
then Columbiana County Extension agent, where he
retired from in 1992 and then farmed. Barbara was a stayat-home mom. But later worked as a wallpaper hanger for
12 years and H&R Block for 12 years.
They love living at Primrose and knew several of the
residents before they moved into Primrose! If you see
them around be sure to introduce yourself and welcome
them to our Primrose family!

PARKING LOT MAINTENANCE
On Thursday, June 8th and Friday, June 9th we will be
having our entire parking lot resealed. During this time
some areas of our parking lot will be closed and we may
be asking for your keys to move your cars around. Those
that have garages won’t be able to get in and out on one
of those days. We are working with Greystone across the
street to try and get staff parking over there on those
days to free up space for the residents. This is something
that we do ever few years to help preserve our parking
lot. Charlie will be in charge of this project. He will keep
you informed of all the details. Thank you for
your patience and understanding!
PRIMROSE FOOD DRIVE
Primrose is hosting a food drive. The Muskingum County Senior Center delivers over 500
meals a day plus serve around 100 a day at the Center. We
