Held annually in the spring in the Metro Detroit area, this conference hosts hundreds of attendees, speakers, sponsors, vendors, and more, all gathered to explore the history of Southeast Michigan. From keynotes to breakout sessions, this grand weekend filled with history is a true treat to casual history buffs and historians alike. Located at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Registration is open now. See more about this event and The Historical Society of Michigan’s other upcoming events at www.hsmichigan.org. Watch This Based on the bestselling novel by Liane Moriarty (Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers), Apples Never Fall stars Annette Bening and Sam Neill who play parents in their golden years. This riveting mystery centers on the seemingly picture-perfect Delaney family. Former tennis coaches Stan (Neill) and Joy (Bening) have sold their successful tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. While they look forward to spending time with their four adult children everything changes when a wounded young woman knocks on Joy and Stan's door, bringing the excitement they've been missing. But when Joy suddenly disappears, her children are forced to re-examine their parents' so-called perfect marriage as their family’s darkest secrets begin to surface. Streaming now on Peacock. Read This For decades, Joni Mitchell’s life and music have enraptured listeners. One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Mitchell has inspired countless musicians—from peers like James Taylor, to inheritors like Prince and Brandi Carlile—and authors, who have dissected her music and her life in their writing. Given this, music critic Ann Powers wondered if there was another way to draw insights from the life of this singular musician who never stops moving, never stops experimenting. In Traveling, Powers seeks to understand Mitchell through her myriad journeys. Through extensive interviews with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, she takes readers to rural Canada, mapping the singer’s childhood battle with polio. She charts the course of Mitchell’s musical evolution, ranging from early folk to jazz fusion to experimentation with pop synthetics. She follows the winding road of Mitchell’s collaborations with other greats, and the loves that emerged along the way, all the way through to the remarkable return of Mitchell to music-making after the 2015 aneurysm that nearly took her life. Available in book stores and on-line in May. Helpful Technology There are a variety of smart-home devices that can make everyday life safer, more convenient, and more social for older adults. One of the more popular devices is the Amazon Echo 8. It’s a smart speaker with a built-in screen and camera, and while it’s an excellent tool for accessing media and news it’s also a great communication tool. The Echo Show 8 provides a streamlined way for family members and caregivers to “drop in” for a two-way video chat, a feature that allows Alexa users to have an instant conversation, just like on a two-way intercom. If only one party has an Alexa device, that’s okay: video chats also work with the Alexa app on any smartphone. Available at www.Amazon.com

by Brian Christopher It’s time for a change. Whether that means it’s time to simplify, to downsize, to move closer to your kids or to transition to a place where help is always there if you need it, there’s a lot to consider about your move to a senior care environment. “Each person and family will have a unique care scenario that will meet their own personal needs to accommodate the ‘why’ when making a move into senior care,” said Kelly Brent, of Parallel Management Group. Brent provides support for independent, assisted living and memory care communities throughout Southeast Michigan. “The two most common starting factors are cost and location, then often finding a community that can meet the customized need for your loved one,” Brent said. “Like each person has their own personality, so can a community, and finding the right fit can often lead to multiple tours, conversations and perhaps a trial meal or two.” A move to independent living might be the right choice for those simply seeking socialization, those who are otherwise strong and healthy but can no longer drive, and those adjusting to home life alone after the loss of a spouse. “Perhaps the day to day of maintaining a home just isn’t for you anymore,” Brent said. “Meal programs are often included or offer a limited dining option in this style of care for those perhaps not making the best nutrition choices based on diet restrictions or general overall health due to living alone, or just no longer interested in cooking.” Brent said programming in an independent living setting helps residents thrive through interaction and participation in lifestyle programs that meet spiritual, emotional and fitness needs. Seniors who live independently come and go as they please, and often have outdoor spaces to enjoy in the summer months. For those who wish to remain independent with some level of support, enhanced independent living environments often offer a third-party care team that can meet the needs of an aging-in-place adult through unique care levels that supplement their changing level of independence. Services in this category can include medication management, shower assistance and meal/program escort care. A move to an assisted living community is the right choice for anyone needing on-site care with direct community oversight. “Folks are often choosing to move into assisted living when there are safety concerns for falls,” Brent said. Those who need regular check-ins, 24/7 care services and on-site assistance, and a schedule of life enrichment programs to meet ongoing needs typically find this tier of senior living to be the right one for them. “Assisted living communities provide an aging-in-place philosophy as well, with a more robust support system to assist with care coordination,” Brent said. That includes trips to the doctor and therapy sessions. “Specialty diets are usually an included option at this level of care to accommodate modified diets as well,” Brent said. “This living options meets all of the same engagement ideals as independent (living), however, they usually provide all daily meals, housekeeping services, laundry is most often included, and perhaps even daily maid service.” Seniors with a dementia diagnosis should consider a memory care option that includes meals, programs designed with a more cognitive focus and a secure environment. “Nurse oversight is encouraged in this care setting, as you or your loved one may experience different levels of need based on diagnosis,” Brent said. “When breaking down what is right for me or my loved one, consider your unique why, and make sure to ask questions on your tour,” Brent added. “Do the answers meet your needs now? In the future if you needed more support? Does the community offer a program that meets your lifestyle?” Brent said there are many free resources available to help seniors navigate the process when they are ready to start exploring options.

Michigan Seniors Guide • Spring 2024 111. What is Medicare? Who qualifies?Medicare is a U.S. federal health insuranceprogram. It is available for: people who are 65 or older; certain younger people with disabilities; people with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease); people with end-stage renal disease (sometimes called ESRD). 2. What are the different parts of Medicare? Medicare Part A is hospital insurance. It covers hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home healthcare. Medicare Part A is part of Original Medicare, which is described later in this article. Medicare Part B is medical insurance. It covers services from doctors and other healthcare providers, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services. Medicare Part B is also part of Original Medicare. Medicare Part D is prescription drug coverage. It helps cover the cost of prescription medications, including many shots and vaccines. Medicare Part D is not part of Original Medicare, but everyone who qualifies for Medicare can sign up for this extra coverage. Medicare Part C is also known as Medicare Advantage. It is an “all in one” plan option you can sign up for instead of Original Medicare. It includes all benefits and services covered under Part A, Part B, and usually Part D. When you sign up for a Part C MedicareAdvantage plan, you do not lose any of thebenefits from Original Medicare. These plansalso typically offer extra benefits not coveredby Original Medicare.3. When and how can I enroll in Medicare inMichigan?You can apply for Medicare when you turn 65 during your Initial Enrollment Period. This is the 7-month period that begins 3 months before you turn 65 and ends 3 months after the month you turn 65. For example, if your birthday is July 10, your Initial Enrollment Period is from April 1 to October 31. To enroll, the first step is to call your local Social Security Administration office or visit Medicare.gov. When applying, you must provide the following documents: an original or certified copy of your birth certificate; W-2 forms you have received over the last two years; and your Social Security card or number. 4. Why sign up for a Medicare Advantageplan?Medicare Advantage plans offer benefits and services covered under Medicare Part A, Part B, and usually Part D. But all Medicare Advantage plans are different, offering extra benefits not covered by Original Medicare. When shopping for plans, it’s important to look for the mix of benefits that best align with your needs. CCA Health Michigan Inc.’s Medicare Advantage plans also offers support from a team of nurses, mental health specialists, and community health workers that help individuals with the most significant needs age well and live in their own homes for as long as possible. Our team works closely with each member to develop a unique care plan, connecting them to a network of high-quality providers and community organizations that can support food, housing, transportation, and other essential needs.

12 Michigan Seniors Guide • Spring 2024by Brian Christopher It’s easy to imagine someone named George D. Everhart III as an intrepid explorer, defying danger on the path to high adventure. On Aug. 30, 2023, Everhart, of Nokomis Florida, and a group of climbers that included his brother-in-law, Thomas M. Flynn, started their final ascent at 15,900 feet, headed for the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro at a breathtaking 19,341 feet. It was Everhart’s 80th birthday. “I was so focused on one step, one step, one step, following the footprint in front of me,” Everhart said. “Those six hours, from basecamp to summit, I had my doubts. Perspective wasn’t there. You couldn’t really see the summit. There were awesome rocks we had to traverse.” ‘We just put everything in’ Everhart’s journey to Africa began with a quest for a little “late life adventure.” “I’m an endurance cyclist, cycling a couple hundred miles a week. I’m starting to realize that cycling isn’t really all there is to life,” Everhart said. “I have a friend who’s a mountaineer, a much younger friend. She mentioned Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the largest free-standing mountain in the world and it’s the roof of Africa. “She explained it as something I could do. I looked at it, YouTube videos. There’s so many out there. I thought, I think I could do this,” Everhart said. The idyllic goal became climbing Kilimanjaro on his 80th birthday in the light of a full moon. Finding someone to do it with, however, initially proved challenging. “This went on for a year and half,” Everhart said. “Last year, shortly after New Year’s, Tom Flynn came to the house and says, ‘When are we leaving?’ I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ He said, ‘I’m in.’” The two-man team of Everhart and Flynn started looking for a suitable training program to prepare them for the rigors of mountain climbing. “Tom is an avid swimmer. I’m a cyclist. The cardio part of getting ready, even at our age, wasn’t as difficult as going to the gym, with a full pack and boots, and getting the lower body training in that’s necessary to climb a big mountain,” Everhart said. “We live in Florida. It’s flat.” The work began with shorter hikes that grew longer as the weeks passed and their date with Kilimanjaro grew closer. The military’s mantra of “embrace the suck” became their daily motivation as they worked out and walked carrying 15-pound packs to simulate the water they’d have to carry up the mountain. “My role was as a brother-in-law and friend, a training partner and a supporter,” said Flynn, 69, of Venice, Florida. “We did have a preplan agreement that if something should happen, people get evacuated off (the mountain), the agreement up front was if either one of us experienced that, the other would go on as best they could.” Flynn added, “We all have these thoughts and the tension of can we actually do that? Can I get in shape? We didn’t know if we were going to. We didn’t know. We weren’t sure if we were going to ‘I think a lot of people have a Kilimanjaro in their life’

Michigan Seniors Guide • Spring 2024 13be able to make it, but we just put everything in.” Mountains as metaphors What awaited them in Africa was an eight-day climb up and across five climate zones. Everhart and Flynn were part of a team of eight trekkers guided and aided by expert porters. “From entering the park to returning to the exit stage, it’s an eight-day stretch: six days to summit and two days to descend,” Flynn said. “You enter in the rainforest and at the summit, you’re basically in the arctic climate zone.” Everhart recalled more from his final ascent to the summit on the day he turned 80, and a conversation he had with a porter. “You’re working at 50% oxygen. We sat down as a team, took a break. We trekked on, got a little bit further, some more rocks. I said, ‘I don’t think we can do it,’” Everhart said. “He looked at me and he said, ‘You can do this.’ I reflected back on text messages I received from my grandkids and so forth, encouraging me, ‘You can do it.’ I didn’t worry about the full moon. It was, ‘Get to the top and get it done.’” Climbing while exhausted across what felt like a 60-degree grade in the middle of the night among treacherous rocks was more than physically demanding. It was mentally exhausting. “The thing about climbing Kilimanjaro is the mental part. Physically, most people with reasonable physical attributes could do it. My feeling is that the mental part of that last night, when you’re pushing yourself to go that last 4,000 feet up the mountain in the dark with no visibility, it was the hardest thing I ever did,” Everhart said. “To see the light of day at the top of that mountain, taking pictures with my brother-in-law, was the most magical thing that I could imagine doing. Reflecting back, I’m still trying to wrap my head around what we did.” But it was about more than conquering the mountain, which, as it looms over the savannah, stands as a metaphor for many things. “Philosophically, I came off this mountain a different person in many ways,” Everhart said. “I think a lot of people have a Kilimanjaro in their life, and it doesn’t have to be a mountain. People overcome many things.” For Flynn, the journey to Kilimanjaro and the trek up the mountain gave him another view of the world that transcended a change in elevation. “What my takeaway was that one, it was amazing. I’ve never been to Africa, so specifically, that was an experience in itself right there,” Flynn said. “Meeting the people, and observing what you might, what people might hear of as the sherpas. The terminology in Africa is porters. Overlaying what you’re observing there to our society, and how people get into a thought that, ‘I can’t do this,’ or, ‘I don’t have the means to do this,’ and you observe what these people do joyfully for what, in our economy, is next to nothing, and appreciate that this was another huge impact of what the experience was. It’s not just the trek. It’s the cultural experience.” ‘Just go for it’ Moving mentally and physically through training and preparation is as important as those final steps up any mountain in life. It is what makes reaching the top possible and it makes the achievement more gratifying, wherever your summit lies. “You’re going to have setbacks. You’re going to have schedule conflicts, but you get back on track and you don’t let something totally derail you,” Flynn said. “You just get back embracing the process, know and tell yourself, ‘This is going to be hard work, and when it is hard work, say, ‘Yeah, I’m still doing it.’” Flynn added, “This is an inspirational story for many who won’t go to Kilimanjaro, but they have something they want to do, and they should just go for it.” Through proper preparation and research, Everhart said there is so much information out there for those seeking to tackle a once-in-a-lifetime challenge a little later on in that lifetime. “I can do whatever I’m determined to do. It’s, first of all, having a dream. Go get it. Get it done,” Everhart said. “We live in a retirement community. There’s so many people who don’t do anything. I’m taking advantage of this while I still can. Tomorrow can be different.” Do you have a story to share about an adventure later in life, or a challenge you met and overcame?

14 Michigan Seniors Guide • Spring 2024Proper Remodeling Can Make Your Space Safe, at Any Age by Brian Christopher You built your life in your family’s home. It’s beloved, familiar and full of memories. It’s the last place you want to leave behind as you age. The effects of aging are real and while comfort and safety emerge as genuine concerns, home can remain the place you hang your hat well into your golden years through effective remodeling. “A lot of it is need-based,” said Jerry Acciaioli, general manager of CAPS Remodeling LLC. “A customer will call us for modifications to their home because of whatever compromised condition, whether they’re dealing with leg strength or coming off a surgery. There’s always some kind of life-changing scenario that leads to the conversation.” CAPS stands for Certified Aging in Place Specialists, and home modifications that improve interior and exterior accessibility, function and safety is all they do. For those seeking to age gracefully in place in their family home, the process usually begins with an initial phone call followed by an assessment. That process involves a remodeling specialist, the resident and sometimes a caregiver, therapist or health care professional. “We will do a walkthrough of their home where we go into the home. We do a free consultation for them and walk with them through their daily routines, and the rooms they use the most. We look for whatever challenges there might be,” Acciaioli said. Typical modifications that allow people to stay in their home longer include exterior ramps or lifts that make accessibility possible, grab bars for safety near the toilet or bath, creating a barrier-free bathroom that replaces a traditional tub with a walk-in shower, drop-down cupboards in the kitchen for those who can’t reach the top shelves, and even stair chairs that help people move from one floor to the other. “One of the most common things is people say, ‘I live in a colonial house, and I may have to move,’” Acciaioli said. “The reality is, if you have a proper stair chair installed, it allows people to have access to both the upstairs and downstairs of their home.

The National Association of Home Builders offers an “Aging-In-Place Design Checklist” on its website at www.nahb.org. By navigating through the “education” and “designations” tabs, you’ll find a list of things to consider about your home’s exterior and its interior spaces to improve accessibility, mobility and safety, sourced through the Home Innovation Research Labs at homeinnovation.com. Some tips are construction related. Other solutions are more practical, including ensuring the lighting is adequate, reducing maintenance through easy-to-clean surfaces and built-in systems for recycling and pet feeding. Intercoms and high-tech security systems offer peace of mind for aging homeowners and their loved ones. Creating quarters for a caregiver is also a good option if you’re aging and require regular on-site assistance in the home. While insurance typically doesn’t help with the cost of aging in place remodeling, it is a good investment for those looking to stay put. “For the cost of moving and packing up and boxing up your whole life, you’re able to retain the life you want in the house you raised your family in,” Acciaioli said.

16 Michigan Seniors Guide • Spring 2024The Lancet – the world’s leading global medical journal – published a study showing that the use of hearing aids may help to reduce the risk of dementia. In fact, the study shows that untreated hearing loss in midlife is the largest modifiable risk factor of dementia. Dementia risk varies based on the level of hearing loss. Mild hearing loss doubles the risk of dementia. Moderate hearing loss triples the risk. Severe hearing impairment increases dementia risk up to 5 times that of those who do not have hearing impairment. The study also cites that “hearing loss might result in cognitive decline through reduced cognitive stimulation.” The study recommends the use of hearing aids, in those with hearing loss, to help protect against cognitive decline.3 As hearing care experts, we know that the full scale of mental health impact from hearing loss is far broader. Being able to hear is central to who you are. If you keep hearing, you can also keep participating, communicating, and enjoying things the way you want to. In short, you can keep being you. The true cost of untreated hearing loss Hearing loss can change much more than how you hear and perceive the world. Long-term hearing loss can result in changes to your neural pathways, fundamentally changing the way your brain receives and processes auditory stimuli. Hearing aids support your brain by helping it to process sound, keeping you mentally stimulated, and helping you to keep active and social. When you have hearing loss, it takes extra effort to keep up with conversations. This can lead to avoiding social situations and enhanced feelings of isolation. By increasing the ability to understand conversations, hearing aids help to keep you connected to the world around you so that you can confidently participate in social gatherings and other activities. In addition to these immediate effects, hearing aids may also help to protect against the long-term neural changes that can result from untreated hearing loss and strengthen your brain against cognitive decline. Treating hearing loss The most positive step you can take to help protect your overall well-being, and your brain, is to address untreated hearing loss in a timely manner.“ 37.5 million Americans have some degree of perceived hearing loss. (1) Over 7 million people ages 65 or older had dementia in 2020. (2)” Did you know… People with hearing loss wait an average of 7 years before they choose to seek treatment. 4 Getting your hearing evaluated and treated with hearing aids is easy and painless. In fact, most hearing aid users regret that they didn’t seek treatment even sooner. Hearing does not improve with time. In fact, hearing will continue to deteriorate without treatment. Treating hearing loss is much easier than living with it. The sooner you get treatment, the sooner you can begin living a fuller and more satisfying life.

For seniors, the quest for companionship and romance can be a deeply enriching and transformative experience, offering new beginnings and cherished connections. In an era where societal norms are evolving, and attitudes towards aging are shifting, finding love as a senior is not only possible but also incredibly rewarding. Embracing Change: For many seniors, the prospect of finding love later in life may seem daunting, especially after experiencing the loss of a spouse or long-term partner. However, it's essential to recognize that life's journey is filled with opportunities for growth and renewal. By embracing change and maintaining an open heart, seniors can embark on a new chapter of their lives with optimism and resilience. Community Engagement: One of the most effective ways for seniors to meet potential partners is through community engagement and social activities. Joining clubs, volunteering, attending social events, or participating in classes and workshops not only fosters personal growth but also provides opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals who share similar interests and values. Online Dating: In today's digital age, online dating has become increasingly popular among seniors seeking companionship and romance. Websites and apps specifically designed for mature adults offer a safe and convenient platform to meet new people and explore romantic possibilities. From creating a compelling profile to engaging in meaningful conversations, online dating can be a fun and empowering experience for seniors looking to expand their social circles and find love. Navigating Relationships: As seniors embark on the journey of finding love, it's essential to approach relationships with patience, compassion, and clear communication. Building trust and intimacy takes time, and it's essential to prioritize mutual respect and understanding in any romantic endeavor. Whether embarking on a new romance or nurturing a long-term relationship, seniors can cultivate deep and meaningful connections by embracing vulnerability and authenticity. Finding love as a senior is a testament to the enduring power of the human heart and the resilience of the human spirit. It's an opportunity to celebrate life's joys and create lasting memories with a cherished partner who brings laughter, companionship, and unconditional love.Embracing the Journey of Love at Any Age, Seniors Can Discover Newfound Happiness

From navigating security checkpoints to managing luggage, there are many obstacles to overcome. However, with some careful planning and preparation, seniors can enjoy a smooth and stress-free journey. Plan Ahead: • Familiarize yourself with the layout of the airport, including terminal maps, amenities, and services available for seniors. • Whenever possible, choose direct flights to minimize layovers. • Inform the airline of any special assistance you may require, such as wheelchair assistance or priority boarding. Pack Wisely: • Minimize the number of bags you bring to make it easier to maneuver through the airport. • Opt for suitcases with wheels for easy transport, or consider using a lightweight travel backpack. • Keep medications, important documents, snacks, and a change of clothes in your carry-on bag for easy access during the flight. Arrive Early: • Arrive at the airport well in advance of your scheduled departure to avoid rushing and reduce stress. Most airports suggest 3-hours prior to boarding time. • Take advantage of airport services for seniors, such as wheelchair assistance or escort services if needed. Navigate Security: • Consider enrolling in TSA PreCheck or other expedited screening programs to bypass long security lines. • Choose footwear that is easy to remove and put back on to streamline the screening process. • Have your boarding pass and identification readily accessible, and follow TSA guidelines for liquids and electronics. Stay Comfortable: • Wear loose-fitting clothing and comfortable shoes to stay relaxed during your journey. • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially during long flights. • If you have a long layover, take regular breaks to stretch your legs and relax in airport seating areas. Seek Assistance: • If you need assistance or have questions, airport staff and airline personnel are there to help. • Traveling with a friend, family member, or caregiver can provide additional support and peace of mind. Traveling through airports as a senior doesn't have to be daunting. By planning ahead, packing wisely, and utilizing available resources, seniors can navigate the airport with confidence and ease.

The program now includes wellness programs, music classes, therapeutic exercises and adaptive sports including golf, kayaking and cycling! RecConnect has been well received and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Gerdeman boasts “this past year we had more than 750 people participate in one or more of our adaptive and inclusive programs. More than 90 people participated in Adaptive Kayaking”. DNEM hosts kayaking clinics for people with disabilities by providing individualized trained instructors, uniquely modified kayaks that are a little wider and might include outriggers to increase stability on the water as well as specialized adaptive equipment that helps support the weight of the paddle. “Initially, when people show up they might be a little nervous. Maybe they’ve never participated in kayaking or maybe they’ve never taken an art class before. But as soon as they see the amount of support and guidance we provide, they are so excited and most sign up for additional programs.” One in five (20%) people in Michigan have a disability and this number is increasing as our population ages. Persons with disabilities often face physical and societal barriers to recreation. Fun runs and 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. DNEM works with other recreation programs in the community to explore new ways to build inclusivity and accessibility. Change is needed and DNEM is committed to breaking down the recreation barriers that exist for people with disabilities through ADA assessments and disability awareness workshops known as DEIA Training. “We want to showcase diversity and inclusion with all programs and services while promoting personal choice and independence” notes Kelly Winn, DNEM’s Chief Executive Officer. “We want to provide the opportunity for all individuals to drive the ball further while golfing, explore something adventurous while kayaking or cycling, or snag the “big one” during an adaptive fishing experience on Lake St. Clair. We want individuals to open their hearts and find their passions through music, dance, art and adaptive recreation. We continue to raise the bar and maintain a vision of a world where people with disabilities are empowered to pursue personal growth and choice through access to community resources and supportive services.” DNEM’s RecConnect is expanding in 2024 allowing more adults aging with disabilities to participate in a variety of activities. This year, Disability Network Eastern Michigan will add Adaptive Cycling to the list of inclusive recreation activities which also includes Adaptive Golf. “I get paid to play, or that’s what my parents say because I do fun things” shared Gerdeman. “But we play with a purpose. We base the programs on individual interests and the community needs. We provide structure and individual modification to recreational, wellness, and social activities for people with disabilities.” 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.

Here are some spring activity ideas for seniors: Gardening: Planting flowers, herbs, or vegetables in a garden or even in pots can be a therapeutic activity. Nature Walks: Enjoy the beauty of spring by taking leisurely walks in local parks, botanical gardens, or nature reserves. Art and Craft Classes: Joining art or craft classes focused on spring-themed projects can be an enjoyable way to spend time. Community Events: Attend community events or festivals that celebrate the arrival of spring. Outdoor Exercise Classes: Many communities offer outdoor exercise classes like tai chi, yoga, or aerobics tailored for seniors. Spring Cleaning: Organize a gentle spring cleaning session to declutter and freshen up living spaces. Floral Arranging: Create your own fun flower arrangements using fresh blooms or participate in floral arranging classes. Outdoor Music Concerts: Attend outdoor concerts or music events held in local parks or community centers. Outdoor Games: Play lawn games like bocce ball, croquet, or horseshoes in a nearby park or backyard. Fishing: If there's a nearby lake or pond, fishing can be a great activity for seniors. Bird Watching: Set up bird feeders in the backyard and spend time observing and identifying different bird species. Bike Rides: For those who are able, biking can be a good, low-impact way to get some exercise. Volunteer Work: Engage in volunteer activities, such as helping with community garden projects or participating in local environmental cleanups. Photography: Capture the beauty of spring by taking up photography and documenting the changing landscape. Picnics: Pack a picnic and head to a nearby park or beach for a relaxing outdoor meal. Remember to consider individual abilities and preferences when planning activities for seniors, and always consult with healthcare professionals if needed to ensure activities are safe and suitable.Spring Activities for Healthy Aging

34 Michigan Seniors Guide • Spring 2024Spring 2024 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 Spring 2024 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:
