Stay informed about key issues in your life! Be proactive.

Know about your health - you need to be your own best health
care advocate!
Your care receiver's / care partner's health - same as above.
Caregivers often become the advocate.

Be prepared when visiting health care providers. It's helpful to have 2 sets of ears at appointments. Take notes. Go into the appointment with a list of questions.

Get your advance directives and legal documents prepared. Medical Power of Attorney, Living Will, Durable Power of Attorney, and a Will are documents to consider. Some states have a Transfer on Death provision.

Do you need an Elder Law Attorney to complete your legal documents? What is your financial situation (ie: income, assets, gas / oil / mineral rights, etc) ? What is your family situation (ie: blended family, ex-spouses)? Will Medicaid be a consideration for long-term care? Consider seeking legal counsel.

Think about a Pre-Need Funeral plan. This takes a huge burden off a grieving family.

Stay informed about services that can help you remain independent. Talk to friends who have needed assistance. Call your county senior center for information. Go to educational programs and health fairs that have information on services.

Learn what you can and be prepared. Time has a way of catching up to us!

Check on your friends and relatives.
Hydrate. Drink a lot of water.
Watch your time in the sun.

Take care. This is literally killer weather.

Put a star * on May 18th at 1 pm! Benwood-McMechen Housing Authority and Altenheim Resource Services are partnering to offer a free program that is open to the community!

MEDICARE: AN OVERVIEW will explain the basics of Medicare.

What can you expect from your Medicare coverage? What is the difference between a Medicare Supplement (or Medigap) and a Medicare Advantage product? What are the special deals they offer on TV? How can I determine what is best for me or my loved one??

Elizabeth Blake, West Virginia State Health Insurance Assistance Program (or SHIP) counselor, will be at the Kubeck Room, 2200 Marshall Street, McMechen WV, to explain the world of Medicare. [SHIP services are offered at no cost, and the program is not affiliated with insurance companies.]

There is no charge for the program, which is open to the community. There will be an opportunity for you to ask questions.
