She is among the handful of EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) and has one of the greatest and most recognizable voices in the history of popular music. She has been nominated for a Grammy 46 times, and with Yentl she became the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a major motion picture. In My Name Is Barbra, she tells her own story about her life and extraordinary career, from growing up in Brooklyn to her first star-making appearances in New York nightclubs to her breakout performance in Funny Girl (musical and film) to the long string of successes in every medium in the years that followed. The book is, like Barbra herself, frank, funny, opinionated, and charming.

8 Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023Disability Network Eastern Michigan (DNEM) is expanding its popular Recreation, Education, & Community Inclusion Team (REC-IT) programs to include additional adaptive sports programs to the community. DNEM’s REC-IT began several years ago as a small program focusing on inclusive arts, crafts and cooking classes. In 2022, DNEM hired Carrie Gerdeman, a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) to expand the program. Since then, the REC-IT program has grown to provide Adaptive Sports, Wellness Programs, and Therapeutic Exercises. At their first Adaptive Kayaking event in June 2022, DNEM welcomed 17 participants onto the water with the help of assistive technology and trained volunteers. By the end of the summer, the organization was able to assist 112 kayakers enjoy the independent activity. Gerdeman anticipates increased participation in the organization’s adaptive recreation offerings thanks to outreach efforts, collaborations with community partners, and education about disabilities. With the increased aging population each year, DNEM has increased the number of older adults served and foresees this number increasing even more in the coming years. DNEM’s REC-IT programming is expanding in 2023 so more adults aging with disabilities can participate in a greater variety of adaptive recreational activities. They plan to grow into a thriving therapeutic recreation community and program expansion plans are the result of input, requests, and survey results of the communities they serve. This year, Disability Network Eastern Michigan will add Adaptive Golfing and Cycling to the list of inclusive recreation activities. “With our programs we want to showcase diversity and promote inclusion. We want to provide the opportunity for all individuals to stretch their limits in a run, face their fears in a kayak, or snag the "big one" on Lake St. Clair. We want individuals to open their hearts and find their passions through music, dance, art and adaptive recreation” said Kelly Winn, DNEM's Chief Executive Officer. Persons with disabilities often face physical and societal barriers to recreation participation. 5K walks in the community are generally not accessible for all. Water sports, fishing, and golf events usually do not include adaptable equipment for people with disabilities. Education on how to make events inclusive and accessible is lacking. Change is needed and DNEM is committed to breaking down the recreation barriers that exist for people with disabilities. Whether someone wants to try cooking, painting, kayaking, hand cycling, fishing, or hunting, DNEM wants to bring awareness to how community events can be a richer and more transformative experience when all are included. One in five (20%) people in Michigan have a disability. This number is increasing as the population ages. The number of older adults with disabilities will continue to grow as well. “We see the participation numbers grow and continue to grow rapidly” notes Carrie Gerdeman, DNEM Recreation & Health Services Director. “Due to their physical disability and age, many of our consumers initially believe they are unable to participate in sports, outdoor recreation, and many more day-to-day activities” said Gerdeman. “Through REC-IT, this belief is challenged by learning ways to adapt activities and make them accessible.” Disability Network Eastern Michigan (DNEM) is committed to promoting inclusion for all by breaking down barriers and opening paths towards independence and personal choice through resources, advocacy, information, support, and education. DNEM provides programming and resources to residents of Huron, Lapeer, Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair, Sanilac and Tuscola counties. Please visit www.DNEMichigan.org or call 586-268-4160 to learn more about the many programs and services offered to people of all ages with disabilities.

According to the study for men, the most important period for forming musical taste is between the ages of 13 to 16. Men were, on average, aged 14 when their favorite song was released. For women, the most important period is between 11 and 14, with 13 being the most likely age for when their favorite song came out. It also found that childhood influences were stronger for women than men and the key years for shaping taste were tied to the end of puberty. Baby boomers (adults born between 1946 and 1964) see if you agree. Here is a list of the #1 Pop Singles in the USA according to Billboard’s Year End Charts released between 1962 and 1980.

12 Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023by Brian Christopher Retirement living doesn’t have to mean winding down, staying put and putting up with yet another Michigan winter. It can be about freedom, exploration and doing what you want on your own time in the sun. Hitting the road in a recreational vehicle offers all that and more for some. “Whether you’re retiring soon or already living your best life, most RVers agree that it’s an amazing lifestyle,” said Shawn Verbruggen, internal communications specialist with General RV Center. “You can make that lifestyle as social as you like or be as quiet as you like. If you love to see new places and seek out adventure, this could be the right choice for you.” People put a lot of thought into their retirement “nest egg,” but what about the actual nest? For migrating “snowbirds,” having an RV means your nest goes with you, wherever you choose to take it. And when you get there, you’ll choose how you want to spend your time. “If you’re an outdoorsy person, then the RVing lifestyle is perfect for you,” Verbruggen said. “You’ll be able to explore new places and enjoy all the hiking, biking, swimming and wildlife watching you want. These activities are also affordable, making them perfect for those managing a retirement budget. Since most RV parks and campgrounds are located in state parks, forests, deserts, beaches and other natural areas, many prefer the RV lifestyle for the opportunity to relax and slow down. Additionally, RVing is one of the most economical ways to travel, and thousands are able to enjoy RV living while keeping their finances in check. Comparisons have shown that travelers can save up to 75% in vacation costs when RVing versus flying to a destination. “Retiring in an RV also provides a tremendous amount of freedom when traveling,” Verbruggen added. “Whether you want to embrace full-time traveling or travel seasonally with the weather, an RV makes it so you can take your home and possessions with you wherever you choose to park. In fact, many people who discover living in an RV full time after retirement never go back to the brick-and-mortar concept.” According to the RV Industry Association, 11.2 million U.S. households now own an RV. A fact sheet prepared by the association attributes the upswing in RV ownership over the last 10 years to both young people and families wishing to live an active outdoor lifestyle, and Baby Boomers entering retirement. “The number of snowbirds who migrate to the warmer states of the U.S. every winter ranges from about 2 million to 6 million,” Verbruggen said. “Some may rent apartments or condos, but the vast majority head for warmer climates in an RV. The RV snowbird lifestyle varies greatly depending on the ultimate destination.” The coastal southeast — South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas — and the desert southwest are popular destinations. Once they get there, many snowbirds reunite year after year with longtime friends who return to the same favorite spots. Verbruggen offered a few tips for those looking to set up their RV dream in retirement. The first is to plan ahead. That starts with reservations well in advance. “The influx in interest means campgrounds are filling up faster, RVs Make Great Nests for Migrating ‘Snowbirds’“Whether you’re retiring soon or already living your best life, most RVers agree that it’s an amazing lifestyle,”

He added, “Whether planning to RV for a season or full time, you will need to make your RV resort reservations early — probably a year in advance. You’ll also want to make sure you start your journey with the right RV. “There are also more RV manufacturers creating new models and floor plans every day. With countless options and customizations available, there’s an RV on the market today that will fit any lifestyle or budget,” Verbruggen said. Finally, thoroughly prepare for the journey, and make sure the road you wish to travel is open and hassle-free. “If you already own an RV, have it fully inspected and any needed repairs made before the trip to ensure it’s ready for the road,” Verbruggen said. “After getting your RV checked over, make sure you hold or forward your mail. Also, suspend any other delivery subscriptions, such as newspapers. This is to make your permanent home less vulnerable and attractive to thieves. “Be sure to plan your route ahead of time to avoid any road closures or lengthy construction delays. Consider keeping your driving trips short, 5-6 hours or less, and avoid driving after dark,” Verbruggen said. General RV Center is located at 8665 Dixie Highway in Clarkston, and at 24583 North River Road in Mount Clemens.

As you progress through different life stages, your financial goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon for investing typically change. Making appropriate adjustments to your investment portfolio can help align your investments with your evolving needs and circumstances. Here are some reasons why adjusting your investments as you age is important: Risk Tolerance: As you age, your ability and willingness to take on investment risk may change. Younger individuals may have a higher risk tolerance since they have more time to recover from market downturns. However, as you approach retirement or have other financial goals, you may prefer a more conservative approach to protect your wealth and reduce the impact of potential market fluctuations. Time Horizon: Younger individuals generally have a longer time horizon for their investments, allowing them to benefit from compounding returns and ride out market volatility. As you approach retirement, your time horizon may shorten, requiring a more cautious approach to preserve your capital. Diversification: Regularly reviewing and adjusting your investment portfolio can help ensure it remains well-diversified. Diversification can mitigate risk by spreading your investments across different asset classes and industries, providing a balance between potential returns and risk. Income Needs: As you age, your income needs may change. In retirement, you may rely on your investments to generate income. Adjusting your portfolio to focus on income-generating assets can help meet your financial needs during retirement. Estate Planning: As you get older, estate planning becomes increasingly important. Adjusting your investments to align with your estate planning goals can ensure a smoother transfer of wealth to your beneficiaries. Inflation and Expenses: Inflation can erode the purchasing power of your money over time. Adjusting your investments to account for inflation and potential rising expenses can help maintain your standard of living in the long term.

An aging population has led to an increase in "gray divorces." Gray divorce refers to the phenomenon where couples over the age of 50 decide to end their long-term marriages. There are several factors contributing to the rise of gray divorces in an aging population: Longer lifespans: As life expectancy increases, people are living longer, healthier lives. This means that couples who may have remained together in earlier generations may now find themselves facing many more years together. As a result, some couples may reevaluate their relationships and choose to part ways. Changing societal norms: Compared to previous generations, current societal norms and attitudes towards divorce have evolved. There is now less stigma surrounding divorce, making it more socially acceptable for older individuals to seek new opportunities for happiness and fulfillment. Economic independence: In modern times, more women are financially independent, which allows them the freedom to leave unfulfilling marriages. Additionally, older individuals may have accumulated enough personal assets to feel secure and confident in their ability to support themselves after divorce. Empty nest syndrome: As children leave home and couples become "empty nesters," they may find that their roles and dynamics change significantly. With more time for self-reflection, some couples realize that they have grown apart and decide to divorce. Desire for personal growth: People continue to evolve and grow throughout their lives. In later stages, individuals may prioritize personal growth and self-discovery, leading them to reevaluate their marriages and seek new paths. It's important to note gray divorces can present unique challenges, particularly regarding financial planning and asset division. Ending a long-term marriage later in life can also impact retirement plans and social support structures. Therefore, it's essential for individuals contemplating a gray divorce to seek professional advice and support to navigate these complexities successfully. As a family law attorney I have always believed that divorce should be a last resort. I always recommend marriage counseling and therapy for two reasons. First, to try to save a marriage. Second, if the marriage cannot be salvaged, therapy can help a person soften the rigors of a divorce and transit to the next chapter of his or her life. 18 Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023Gray Divorce Is On The Rise, How Can You Avoid It?Henry S.

Here are some key strategies to help prevent a "gray" divorce: Effective Communication: Open, honest, and respectful communication is essential. Regularly discuss your feelings, needs, and concerns with your partner, and listen actively when they share theirs. Address conflicts calmly and find solutions together. Nurture Emotional Intimacy: Continue to foster emotional intimacy and connection in your relationship. Share your thoughts, dreams, and experiences with each other, and demonstrate care and affection through gestures and words. Prioritize Quality Time: Make time for each other despite busy schedules and life's demands. Engage in activities you both enjoy and use this time to strengthen your bond. Work as a Team: View your marriage as a partnership and tackle challenges together. Support each other's goals and aspirations and celebrate each other's successes. Adapt to Change: Embrace life's changes together and be flexible in adjusting to new circumstances, such as retirement or becoming empty nesters. Keep the Romance Alive: Continue to show appreciation and affection for one another. Small gestures like surprise dates or love notes can make a big difference. Financial Transparency: Be transparent about financial matters and work together on budgeting and financial planning. Discuss financial goals and make joint decisions about money. Maintain Physical Health: Taking care of your physical health not only benefits you but also strengthens your relationship. Encourage and support each other in leading a healthy lifestyle. Seek Support When Needed: If issues arise that you're struggling to resolve, don't hesitate to seek professional help from a couples therapist or counselor. Cultivate Mutual Respect: Treat each other with respect, even during disagreements. Avoid belittling or demeaning language and instead focus on understanding each other's perspectives. Celebrate Milestones: Celebrate milestones and achievements, both big and small. Acknowledging your shared journey can deepen your emotional connection. Maintain Independence: While it's important to be a team, also maintain your individual interests and hobbies. This can enrich your own life and provide new topics of conversation and mutual support. Remember, a long-lasting and fulfilling marriage requires ongoing effort and commitment from both partners. By actively working on your relationship and nurturing your connection, you can reduce the likelihood of a "gray" divorce and instead enjoy the golden years together. It is important to never go to bed angry. Accentuate the positive and remember to forgive and forget. Henry S. Gornbein is of Counsel at Lipson Neilson Attorneys and Counselors at Law.

Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023 21What is Medicare? Medicare is the federal health insurance program for: • People who are 65 or older • Certain younger people with disabilities • People with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, ESRD) What are the parts of Medicare? The different parts of Medicare help cover specific services: • Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) Part A covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care. • Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) Part B covers certain doctors' services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services. • Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage) Helps cover the cost of prescription drugs (including many recommended shots or vaccines). How does Medicare work? With Medicare, you have options in how you get your coverage. Once you enroll, you’ll need to decide how you’ll get your Medicare coverage. There are 2 main ways: • Original Medicare Original Medicare includes Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance). You pay for services as you get them. When you get services, you’ll pay a deductible at the start of each year, and you usually pay 20% of the cost of the Medicare-approved service, called coinsurance. If you want drug coverage, you can add a separate drug plan (Part D). Original Medicare pays for much, but not all, of the cost for covered health care services and supplies. A Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy can help pay some of the remaining health care costs, like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Some Medigap policies also cover services that Original Medicare doesn't cover, like medical care when you travel outside the U.S. • Medicare Advantage Medicare Advantage is an “all in one” alternative to Original Medicare. These “bundled” plans include Part A, Part B, and usually Part D. Most plans offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover — like vision, hearing, dental, and more. Medicare Advantage Plans have yearly contracts with Medicare and must follow Medicare’s coverage rules. The plan must notify you about any changes before the start of the next enrollment year. • Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D) Medicare drug coverage helps pay for prescription drugs you need. To get Medicare drug coverage, you must join a Medicare-approved plan that offers drug coverage (this includes Medicare drug plans and Medicare Advantage Plans with drug coverage). Each plan can vary in cost and specific drugs covered, but must give at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Medicare drug coverage includes generic and brand-name drugs. Plans can vary the list of prescription drugs they cover (called a formulary) and how they place drugs into different "tiers" on their formularies. Plans have different monthly premiums. You’ll also have other costs throughout the year in a Medicare drug plan. How much you pay for each drug depends on which plan you choose.YOUR GUIDE TO MEDICARE IN MICHIGAN Continued on Page 22

October 15th - December 7th Change your Medicare health or drug coverage for 2024, if you decide to. This includes changing to Original Medicare, or joining or changing a Medicare Advantage Plan. January 1st New coverage begins if you made a change. If you kept your existing coverage and your plan's costs or benefits changed, those changes also start on this date. January 1st - March 31st If you're in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you can change to a different Medicare Advantage Plan or switch to Original Medicare (and join a separate Medicare drug plan) once during this time. Any changes you make will be effective the first of the month after the plan gets your request.VIETNAM GULF WARPOST - 9/11DETROIT VA HEALTHCARE SYSTEM(877) 222-8387

Seniors and other Medicare-eligible persons who choose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan may have access to covered services not offered through original Medicare, such as fitness programs that offer no-cost or low-cost gym access. Here are three key reasons why obtaining access to an affordable fitness program is important to consider: 1. Movement is medicine. Time and again, research has proven the health benefits of staying active. Researchers studying pandemic-related inactivity for older adults noted that it takes only 5 to 10 days of physical inactivity for muscles to start wasting away. Loss of muscle mass can lead to bone loss, increased fall risk, and functional dependency. Lack of physical activity also can speed the progression of chronic diseases including heart disease, arthritis, and obesity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults aged 65 and older participate at least two days a week in activities that “strengthen muscles,” along with a minimum of 150 minutes a week of “moderate-intensity activity,” such as brisk walking. So, if you’ve been less active this past year and are feeling some of the health effects, it’s time to get up and move. 2. There are more options for working out than ever before. The pandemic may have sidelined many people’s workout routines, but it also created new fitness options. Fitness companies, health plans, gyms, YMCAs, and other organizations sprang into action in 2020, devising more ways to help their members work out safely and conveniently. Gyms now have outdoor workout spaces, safely spaced indoor classes, and hygienic protocols in place. Many fitness programs offer online classes via social media, and most outdoor parks and recreation facilities are open again. 3. No-cost and low-cost fitness center memberships are available through Medicare Advantage programs. Some Medicare Advantage health plans offer no-cost or low-cost fitness center memberships through programs such as the Silver&Fit® Healthy Aging and Exercise program. Key advantages of joining such a program include the option to choose from thousands of different types of fitness facilities, including large, name-brand chains to boutique clubs or YMCAs. These fitness benefits may offer at-home workout options, such as home fitness kits, libraries of on-demand digital workouts and even lifestyle coaches who can help members stay motivated and engaged in their fitness. In a recent poll of people enrolled in Medicare, 95 percent of respondents agreed it is important to have coverage options aside from traditional Medicare. Fitness programs are a great example of a valuable additional option available through many Medicare Advantage plans. For further facts and tips, visit www.silverandfit.com.

Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023 25By Linda Perkins, R.N., Director of Clinical Operations for CCA Health Michigan In this age of misinformation, it’s often difficult to parse out what’s real and what’s not in the world of personal health. TV is rife with commercials selling the latest supplement, and social media is full of charlatans making endless claims. Below, I’ve answered some common questions I hear in my everyday life as a nurse. 1. “Is it true that you need supplements to stay healthy as you age?” A: This is actually not true. Short of having a vitamin deficiency or another health issue that’s been diagnosed by a doctor, there’s no need to buy extra vitamins or supplements. Talk to your doctor about any supplements you currently take to give a full picture of your health. 2. “I’m losing my memory but that’s normal as you age, right?” A: It depends. According to the Alzheimer’s Society, approximately 40% of people will have some form of memory loss after age 65. But even if we experience memory loss, chances are that it is milder, and it is still unlikely to be dementia. If you’re concerned, talk to your doctor. A simple cognition screening test can help assess if the memory loss you experience is minor or something more serious. 3. “Only older adults are increasingly being scammed via texts and email.” A: No, every one of every generation is at risk and scams are only getting more sophisticated. Older adults, especially when isolated, often don’t want to ask for help, but even younger generations are getting duped by phone calls, text, direct mail, and emails. Stay up to date by checking the AARP’s website, which has resources to avoid scams. 4. “Is substance abuse typically a problem only for the younger generation?” A: No, and nor is alcohol abuse. During the pandemic we saw that many were isolated, bored, spending more time at home, and therefore drinking more. In fact, according to the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 7.6 percent of adults 50 and older had an alcohol use disorder in the past year. 5. “My blood pressure meds worked so well that my BP is down, so I stopped taking them.” A: This is one of the most dangerous myths because not taking your medication as directed can be extremely detrimental to your health. Make sure to speak to your doctor if costs, side effects, or any other concerns are becoming obstacles to taking your prescribed medications. 6. “I suspected something was wrong, but men can’t get breast cancer, so I didn’t even think that was a possibility.” A: It’s rare, but it does happen. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has shown that 1 in 100 breast cancer patients are men. Be aware of the symptoms if you notice any of the following: lumps or swelling in the breast area; redness or flaky skin in the breast; irritation or dimpling of breast skin; nipple discharge or pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area. 7. “At my age, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) aren’t something I have to worry about anymore.” A: False. According to a 2020 report by the CDC, rates of STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, have increased dramatically among older adults. Many may not know that older adults can increase their risk of heart disease and cancer as a result of these STIs. It’s important to remember to use condoms, since they are important to prevent the spread of STIs. 8. “I’ve been smoking since my teens, so isn’t the damage already done?” A: It’s never too late to quit smoking. In fact, according to The American Lung Association, 20 minutes after quitting, your heart rate drops to a normal level, and within 24 hours after quitting, the risk of heart attack is significantly reduced. Also, vaping is not a healthier alternative. Research shows links to chronic lung disease and asthma, and associations between dual use of e-cigarettes and smoking with cardiovascular disease. Linda is a Registered Nurse and the Director of Clinical Operations for CCA Health Michigan, a community-based health plan that serves older adults and individuals with significant needs. By working closely with members, caregivers, providers, and community organizations, CCA Health Michigan aims to coordinate high-quality, patient-centric care that addresses the social factors that impact health, and empower individuals to make choices that align with their preferences and values.True or False: 8 Common Health Facts Myths About Aging

26 Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023Counties Help Link Vets, Families to Programs and Benefits No one’s experience is the same while serving in the armed forces and the same can be said for the post-military experience of our country’s veterans. While many programs exist to support those who serve, matching the needs of individual veterans with what’s available can be a process, to say the least. Luckily, offices in place at the county level in metro Detroit are dedicated to doing just that.Macomb County “Assisting all Macomb County veterans and their families navigating through the veterans benefits process,” said Laura Rios, a retired United States Air Force master sergeant and Macomb County’s Chief Veterans Services Officer, when asked to describe the office’s mission. “We provide assistance with veterans applying for service-connected disability and non-service-connected pensions,” Rios said. “We assist widows in applying for their survivor benefits. We process and provide a stipend for burial expenses. We process and take applications for one-time emergent need relief through the Michigan Trust Fund and county relief fund. We assist veterans and their families with a certified financial coach. We assist veterans in ordering their DD Form 214 discharge papers.” Transportation for veterans to a Veterans Administration hospital, tax preparation assistance, health care and VA benefits registration assistance, and inquiries about available mental health services are also among the things provided by Macomb County Veterans Services. Much more information is available online at vets.macombgov.org or by calling (586) 469-5315.Oakland County “We connect veterans to benefits, such as service-connected disability compensation, health and transportation services, employment and education services, pensions and financial support, and life insurance and burial benefits,” said Tyrone Jordan, marketing and communications coordinator for Oakland County Veterans Services. “Typically, what you do is call, and depending on what your needs are, sometimes they can answer questions for you over the phone,” Jordan added. “If it’s a little bit more detailed, you’ve got to make an appointment.” Oakland County Veterans Services benefits counselors are available at two offices — Pontiac and Troy. If you are planning to file a benefits claim, the staff will tell you in advance what you need to bring to your appointment. “They will help you fill it out and help you file it,” Jordan said. “A lot of veterans don’t know, or their children and spouse don’t know, that they’re eligible for some benefits, or may be eligible for some benefits that go uncollected.” With approximately 53,000 U.S. military veterans residing in Oakland County, Jordan said Oakland County Veterans Services offers a mobile resource outreach at locations closest to where the majority of veterans live. “What we do is figure out how many veterans are in a specific ZIP code, and then we do 15-minutes driving distance, and we pick a location,” Jordan said. “We’ll have what we call a veterans resource fair where Oakland County veterans benefits counselors will be there.” Veterans receive $50 Meijer gift cards good for food and household paper products, a 20-pound box of fresh vegetables and a 15-pound box of protein. They also get a park pass good for free admission to Oakland County parks or an overnight stay at a county campsite. Health screenings are also available. For more information about these offerings and more for veterans in Oakland County, visit oakgov.com/veterans or call (248) 858-0785. by Brian Christopher

Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023 27Wayne County In a gateway message from Wayne County Veteran Services Division Director Randy Walker posted online, the county’s staff is “proud to be of service to our veterans who had the courage to sacrifice for the freedoms that we enjoy every day.” “We serve hundreds of veterans and their family members here in Wayne County annually. We want you to know that there is a caring and dedicated staff member here at Veteran Services to assist you in our Health, Human & Veterans Services office,” Walker said. In-person assistance is available through the office at the International Center Building at 400 Monroe St., fourth floor, Suite 405, in Detroit. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, staff is also available to assist veterans through a satellite office at 1751 Radcliff in Garden City, located inside of the Radcliff Community Center. Funeral expense assistance, and financial assistance through the Wayne County Soldiers and Sailors Relief and the Michigan Veterans Trust funds, is available for qualified veterans and their families. For financial relief, honorably discharged wartime veterans must have served during World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War or Persian Gulf War. Needs are evaluated and the extent of relief is determined on a case-by-case basis. More information about qualifications is available through a downloadable brochure available on the county’s website. Wayne County’s Veteran Financial Hardship Services Program exists to provide temporary emergency financial assistance to meet the immediate needs of indigent wartime vets, spouses and dependent children. Additional support services for Wayne County veterans provide assistance with compensation/disability applications for eligible veterans and their families. A list of required documentation is available on the county’s website at waynecounty.com/veterans. For more information, call (313) 224-5045.

Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023 29Preparing for holiday guests can be both exciting and overwhelming. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved, here are three essential tips to help you prepare: Plan and Organize in Advance: Start your preparations early to avoid last-minute stress. Create a checklist of tasks and chores that need to be completed before your guests arrive. This may include cleaning the house, tidying up guest rooms, decorating, and purchasing any necessary supplies. Allocate specific days for each task and involve other family members or friends to help, if possible. Planning ahead will give you ample time to address any unforeseen issues and make your home a warm and welcoming space for your guests. Consider Dietary Preferences and Restrictions: Before your guests arrive, inquire about any dietary preferences or restrictions they may have. Some guests might be vegetarian, vegan, have food allergies, or follow specific dietary guidelines. Take these preferences into account when planning your meals and snacks. Offering a variety of food options ensures that everyone feels included and well-catered to. If you're not confident in your cooking skills, don't hesitate to seek out easy-to-follow recipes that accommodate various dietary needs. Create a Cozy and Comfortable Atmosphere: Part of the joy of holiday gatherings is creating a warm and inviting ambiance for your guests. Make sure the guest bedrooms are comfortable with clean bedding and extra blankets if needed. Prepare some amenities like fresh towels, toiletries, and water bottles to make your guests feel at home. Enhance the overall atmosphere with festive decorations, soft lighting, and perhaps some seasonal scents like candles or potpourri. Additionally, consider creating a designated space for relaxation and entertainment where guests can unwind and enjoy each other's company. Bonus Tip: Communicate and Be Flexible: Good communication is essential when hosting guests. Keep them informed about any plans, changes, or schedules that may affect their stay. Be open to their suggestions and preferences while respecting their privacy and personal space. Remember that flexibility is crucial during the holidays, and unexpected situations might arise. Staying adaptable and positive will help ensure a delightful experience for everyone involved. By following these tips, you can create a memorable and enjoyable holiday experience for both you and your guests.123Three Tips to Help You Prepare for Holiday Guests248-733-5806Parisirealty@gmail.com | www.parisirealty.com* Single Family Homes, Condos, Land, Waterfront Properties, Multi Families* Customized Plans to Meet All of Your Real Estate Needs* Complimentary Staging* Complete Moving Services* Relocation Services*FREE Home Warranty with Your Listing Don’t Just List Your Home with Anyone...

Encore careers refer to pursuing new pathways and entrepreneurial ventures during retirement, offering individuals an opportunity to continue finding fulfillment in meaningful work. This shift in mindset is not only driven by financial necessity but also by the desire to make a positive impact and maintain a sense of purpose in the golden years. The concept of encore careers gained popularity in response to demographic changes and the desire of the baby boomer generation to redefine retirement. As baby boomers reached retirement age, they began seeking alternatives to traditional retirement options, seeking a more active and fulfilling lifestyle. This has led to a growing trend of pursuing encore careers, which are typically characterized by combining personal passions, skills, and experience to explore new professional pathways. Retirees looking to embark on an encore career have various options to explore: Leveraging Existing Skills: Many retirees have a wealth of experience and skills acquired during their previous careers. They can consider consulting or freelancing in their areas of expertise, providing valuable services to businesses and organizations. Pursuing Passions: Retirement can be an excellent time to explore long-held passions that may not have been practical during one's primary career. Whether it's starting a small business, becoming an artist, or delving into a hobby, an encore career allows retirees to follow their passions. Social Entrepreneurship: Some retirees may be drawn to social entrepreneurship, using their skills to address social or environmental challenges and make a positive impact on the world. With careful planning and consideration, retirees can chart new pathways, pursue passions, and create meaningful legacies that positively impact their lives and the lives of others. Whether it's leveraging existing skills or exploring new passions, the journey of embracing an encore career is an exciting adventure worth pursuing. Embracing Encore Careers: Exploring New Pathways and Entrepreneurship in RetirementDid You Know? Some studies indicated that around 9% to 25% of individuals aged 50 and older in the United States were engaged in some form of encore career or meaningful post-retirement work.

Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023 39As poets, songwriters and authors have helped us see over the centuries, love is a powerful motivator. It is a complex emotion that’s both the source of our greatest joys and our deepest pain. It can guide us to do what’s right, and fool us into making decisions we regret. And while we never break IUHHIURPORYH¶VLQÀXHQFHZHGRJHWEHWWHUDWPDQDJLQJLWZLWKage. We learn to keep it more balanced with non-emotions like clear thinking and logic. Again, it’s nothing new to any of us to hear all this. But it’s important to keep it in mind when we discuss an emotion-heavy subject we all have to face at some point in our lives: assisted living. How do we balance love with logic when making decisions on behalf of our aged DQGLQ¿UPIDPLO\PHPEHUV"When it comes to family members, love can easily lead to feelings of misplaced guilt. This is not a healthy mindset because it leads to decisions we think are based on their happiness, but are really more about what makes us feel better. This is often the reason for deciding to take care of our loved one at home as opposed to, say, a facility designed and staffed by professionals who have actual knowledge of what our loved ones require both emotionally and physically. Or to put it another way, a place designed around the clear-thinking realities of what they really need, and very often, what they really want. So now that we have shifted the focus to logic, let’s build on it a little more. What exactly do you look for when shopping IRUVXFKDIDFLOLW\"%DVLFDOO\LW¶VHYHU\WKLQJ\RXZRXOGZDQWto give them at home in your care. You would want them to feel safe and secure day and night in the event of any unforeseen medical emergencies. You would want a regular program of daily personal care maintained, like bathing, grooming and dressing. You would want to make sure their living space is clean, their laundry done, their meals prepared on time. You would want to keep them socially active with peers and friends. And above all, you would want to promote a sense of dignity and purpose in their life. Can we agree at this point that unless you possess extremely unusual circumstances, you simply cannot meet WKHVHIXQGDPHQWDOQHHGVZLWKKRPHFDUH",W¶VQRERG\¶Vfault. There’s no place for guilt, misplaced or otherwise. It’s just a fact of life that many of us need to face, and frankly, rethink. Ask yourself: Wouldn’t your deep love for an aged SDUHQWEHEHWWHUVHUYHGE\GRLQJWKHUHVHDUFKDQG¿QGLQJa facility that meets the real needs you can’t provide at KRPH":HOOWKHJRRGQHZVLVWKH\¶UHRXWWKHUH“Guilt is the enemy of peace of mind.” says John Toupin, Administrator at The Rivers, a Michigan-based assisted living facility, “Before you commit to a facility, we encourage asking all the questions that matter, and listening for all the right answers. Tour the facilities. Observe the activities and get a feel for the overall spirit of the place. Make sure the staff are real pros who genuinely care.” Yes, love is a powerful motivator.

40 Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023Fall 2023 Guide for Senior Housing OptionsIL - Independent Living Independent living is simply any housing arrangement designed exclusively for older adults, generally those aged 55 and over. Housing varies widely, from apartment-style living to single-family detached homes. In general, the housing is friendlier to aging adults, often being more compact, with easier navigation and no maintenance or yard work to worry about. AL - Assisted Living Assisted living is a residential option for older adults who need help with some of the activities of daily living—things like cooking meals, getting to the bathroom in the middle of the night, keeping house, and traveling to appointments. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you need more personal care services than you can get at home or in an independent living or retirement community. MC - Memory Care Memory care is a form of senior living that provides intensive, specialized care for people with memory issues. Many assisted living facilities and nursing homes have created special memory care units for dementia patients. There are also stand-alone memory care facilities. RC - Respite Care Respite care provides temporary relief for a primary caregiver, enabling you to take a much-needed break from the demands of caregiving. Some senior residential communities offer short-term overnight services. HC - Hospice Care Hospice (and palliative) care offers a dignified and comfortable alternative to spending your final months in the impersonal environment of a hospital, far from family, friends, pets, and all that you know and love. Palliative medicine helps you manage pain while hospice provides special care to improve the quality of life for both you as the patient and your family. We hope you find the Fall 2023 edition of our Senior Housing Guide for Macomb, Oakland and Wayne Counties helpful. The facilities are grouped by county, sorted alphabetically by city and then, by name. Each provides a variety of services and offers a range of amenities. We encourage you to contact them directly to learn more. If you’d like your Senior Care Facility listed in the Guide, please contact us.For your convenience, we have provided a key indicating the type of care available at each facility:

54 Michigan Seniors Guide • Fall 2023Life is a long journey that must someday end for us all. For many, hospice care is a part of that journey. When it’s time to talk about end-of-life options for yourself or a loved one, of course, there are many, many questions. What will hospice be like? What can we expect as our parent transitions under hospice care? How often do nurses come, and what kind of things do they do? Ryan Fox, MSW, is the director of marketing for Brighton Hospice Michigan. Fox has also served as a hospice care consultant, a social worker, an executive director, and the director of social work, bereavement and volunteers in his hospice career. He graciously agreed to take our questions via email on behalf of prospective hospice patients and families. What is hospice care and how is it different from other forms of care? “Hospice care is a Medicare benefit designed to treat a patient’s pain/symptom management from their terminal illness focusing on the patient’s comfort and quality of life. Hospice care is different than skilled home care as hospice is focused on comfort and quality of life over curative treatment. Medicare, and Medicaid, cover hospice at 100%, while private insurance agencies may be subject to deductibles or copays. Skilled home care is focused on rehabilitation and bringing patients back to baseline and usually pays 80% leaving the other 20% responsible to the patient/family. Palliative care is often confused with hospice care because hospice care provides palliative care in treating a patient’s pain/symptoms to focus on comfort. Palliative care, while focused on comfort and symptom management, can be delivered in conjunction with curative treatments. Hospice care also provides more care services, more often than home care or palliative care. These care services include nursing, social work, spiritual care, home health aide, bereavement, complementary therapies and volunteers.” When is the right time to consider beginning hospice care? “The right time to call Brighton Hospice is when you or someone you love is faced with challenges of an advanced illness. In fact, most families who use our services say they wish they had called us sooner. One of our professionally trained nurses will visit with you and give you information about how we can help you and your family so that you can make an informed decision about your healthcare. Many of our patients thrive with the personal care that the hospice team provides.” Please describe the process for entering hospice. “If you aren’t sure you want hospice and would like more information before providing the below information, the hospice agency can send out a representative to explain hospice services and discuss goals of What is Hospice?by Brian ChristopherRoutine Home Care: Routine home care is the most utilized level of care under the hospice benefit. This level of care is provided wherever a patient calls home. These patients have symptoms that are well managed and can be cared for without need for a higher level of care. Continuous Care: If a patient develops physical or emotional symptoms that aren’t easily managed with routine care, continuous care may be initiated, as directed by the hospice physician. Continuous care provides more intense care in the patient’s home environment. Under this level of care, members of the hospice team are assigned to the care of this patient around the clock, with a nurse providing, at minimum, eight hours of the patient care hours within a 24-hour period to administer medications, treatments, and support until the symptoms are under control. Continuous care is considered a short-term level of care and is reevaluated every hour. General Inpatient Care (GIP): Patients under this level of care must have documented severe symptom management needs that cannot be managed in their home setting. These symptoms require inpatient care delivered within a skilled nursing facility or hospital setting where nurses are available around the clock to administer medications and treatments. As with continuous care, inpatient care is considered short-term and is discontinued once a patient’s symptoms are controlled. Respite Care: This level of care allows a family caregiver to get a break from caregiving duties while the patient is cared for in a Medicare-certified inpatient facility. It is provided on an occasional basis, for a maximum of five consecutive days. Hospice respite care is provided in a hospital, hospice unit, or long-term care facility.

To be eligible for hospice, two physicians must agree that if a patient’s terminal illness were to take the normal trajectory, their life expectancy would be six months or less. Next, a physician (preferably your PCP) will need to write an order requesting the patient be ‘evaluated for hospice and admitted if eligible.’ This gives permission for the hospice nurse to complete their assessment/evaluation. Along with the physician’s order, the hospice agency may ask for the patient’s history and physical and/or labs/nursing records/notes to illustrate the needs for hospice care. The hospice agency will also need to verify your insurance information — please be prepared to show any medical insurance cards (i.e., Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, etc.). Once the insurance is verified and the hospice has a physician’s order along with the patient’s medical records, an informed consent meeting and a nursing evaluation can be scheduled. Informed hospice consents show that the patient or their responsible party (guardian, power of attorney, next of kin, etc.) agree to hospice care and philosophy. The evaluating nurse will physically check vital signs and review the medical records, while consulting with their hospice physician. If the evaluating nurse and hospice physician agree the patient is eligible for service, and hospice consents have been signed, the patient is officially on hospice. The evaluating nurse will then communicate to the patient and/or family who their hospice care team will be and when to expect them, providing a telephone number to call with any questions/concerns.” After beginning hospice care, what happens next? “Medicare guidelines state, at minimum, a nurse must visit at least once every 14 days. Most hospices will provide more than that and should develop a patient centered plan of care with the patient/family. This plan of care consists of what care will be provided, who will be providing the care, and when each team member will visit. The hospice care team consists of the hospice physician/medical director, nurse/case manager, certified nursing assistant (CNA), social worker, chaplain, complementary therapies (massage therapy, music therapy, etc.), and volunteers. The patient and family will discuss with each team member scheduling visit days.” What services does hospice provide? “Medicare has set minimum standards of care for hospice. Brighton’s mission is to raise the hospice industry standard by providing the maximum amount of physical, emotional, and spiritual care for our patients and their families. “Brighton Hospice provides the following services: • Two or more nursing visits per week, as directed by the medical director. • Certified nursing assistant visits for personal care, as directed by the medical director. • Attending physician, Brighton Hospice physician, medical director and nurse practitioner available. Brighton’s hospice physician and/or nurse practitioner will visit at various times throughout a patient’s hospice stay. • Social workers and chaplains visit twice per month or more frequently, as needed. • Bereavement specialists offer individual counseling and grief support groups in-person and virtually. • In addition to Medicare standard therapies, Brighton Hospice offers complementary therapies such as aromatherapy, massage therapy, music therapy, pet therapy, and more! • Our volunteers are specially trained by Brighton to provide assistance to patients, their families, and the hospice team. • Brighton Hospice provides medications, medical equipment, and medical supplies related to hospice diagnosis, including incontinence supplies. Brighton’s services may vary by agency and each patient’s hospice physician-directed plan of care. • Care is provided wherever a patient calls home; in a nursing home, a group home, assisted living facility, etc.” Who is eligible to receive care through hospice and is it covered by insurance? “Anyone who has a terminal diagnosis with a life expectancy of six months or less is considered eligible for hospice care. Yes, because hospice is a Medicare benefit, Medicare/Medicaid will pay 100% for hospice services. Patients who utilize a commercial insurance agency, may be subject to a deductible or copay. If you are unsure about your insurance, please reach out to Brighton and one of our hospice representatives can guide you and answer any questions you may have.” What can patients expect during the hospice care experience? “Caring, dedicated staff that focus on patient centered care. We want to ensure that patients, and their families, have comfort and quality of life for what time they have left. We will provide a consistent collaborative team to guide you through the process, providing advocacy for end-of-life wishes.” What can families expect during the hospice care experience? “Families can expect their loved one to be well cared for. They can also expect guidance, education, empathy, advocacy, and relief.”
