Today, the average life expectancy is at a record high of 79 years. As we get older, even the most independent among us may experience physical declines or financial hardship that strips away our independence. Add to that an increase in geographic mobility of our families, and the result is millions of seniors left behind, hungry and alone.1 in 4 older adults lives alone, with 1 in 5 feeling lonely. Social isolation among older adults is associated with an extra $6.7 billion in Medicare spending each year. Nearly 9.5 million seniors are threatened by hunger, with more than 5.5 million of which are food insure or very low food secure. MEALS ON WHEELSMeals on Wheels has been guided by a single goal since its inception, to support our senior neighbors to extend their independence and health as they age. What started as a compassionate idea has grown into one of the largest and most effective social movements in America, currently helping nearly 2.4 million seniors annually in virtually every community in the country. Frequent in-home visits provide unique opportunities to meet nutritional needs, combat social isolation, address safety hazards and provide holistic care.CONGREGATE MEALSCongregate meals offer nutritional and social benefits. They bring seniors together to enjoy meals. Seniors often have a difficult time cooking interesting meals for themselves. SRDAs delicious meals provide great nutrition that will keep seniors healthy as well as providing an outlet where seniors can create friendships and get to know other seniors in their area. SRDA offers transportation for seniors that are interested in congregate meals, but do not have the ability to drive themselves. In addition to serving healthy meals, the program presents opportunities for social engagement, information on healthy aging, and meaningful volunteer roles, all of which contribute to an older individuals overall health and well-being. SRDA has over 10 sites throughout Pueblo County to join.Senior Nutrition programs help decrease food insecurities that many older adults experience, in addition to decreasing isolation.

Read MoreIt may seem odd, but you may be unaware that you have a hearing loss -- or, not aware of the impact its having on others. This is because hearing loss is subtle and progressive. You lose hearing very slowly over a long period of time, and then you one day you realize you have to strain to hear your wife in a restaurant. You may think she's decided not to speak up anymore, but in reality she's speaking to you like she always has. Or, maybe one evening she says, please turn down the TV -- its hurting my ears! And, you think the volumes set like always.So, here are a few key questions to evaluate if you have lost some hearing. Each question is designed to gain an understanding of impact your loss may be having on your daily life. These are the things that can become very frustrating for your friends and family -- even though you may not realize it. So, here you go:Do you have a problem hearing over the telephone?Do you have trouble following the conversation when two or more people are talking at the same time?Do you have trouble understanding things on TV?Do you get confused about where sounds come from?Do you especially have trouble understanding the speech of women and children?Do people seem to mumble?Do people get annoyed because you misunderstand what they say?If your answers to these questions raise concerns, I encourage you to get a free hearing checkup. For most people, there's no need to live with these problems. Todays hearing aid technology is truly remarkable!Editors Note: This article was submitted by DigiCare with offices throughout Southern Colorado.

Read MoreLori Siegesmund runs a construction company that offers a range of services everything from framing and insulation to drywall and specialty ceilings.But shes especially excited about a new service that not only further diversifies the operation, but also helps customers with unique needs. This empowers people to make choices.As owner and president, Siegesmund oversees 579 Construction based in Grand Junction and a new division called SafeSpace Builders.SafeSpace Builders designs and installs modifications and equipment in residential and commercial spaces to better accommodate people with disabilities as well as help seniors stay in their homes.The firm recently received designation as a Medicaid contractor. That means it receives referrals and can directly bill Medicaid for services provided to people enrolled in the program.Sue Hayes, director of marketing for SafeSpace Builders, says the operation is at once a business and needed public service. I see it as giving back to our community.Siegesmund launched 579 Construction nearly three years ago as a new iteration of TP Acoustics, a business her late grandfather, Howard Perry, operated for 25 years. While that firm installed acoustic ceilings, it also provided other construction services.Siegesmund worked with her grandfather for nearly 12 years, handling everything from accounting and payroll to estimating and project management.Today, 579 Construction operates divisions for commercial framing, thermal and moisture protection and commercial drywall and acoustic and specialty ceiling installation and finishing.Operating out of the Business Incubator Center in Grand Junction, 579 Construction works on a variety of projects throughout Colorado. The company employs a staff of 27.SafeSpace Builders will serve Western Colorado, Siegesmund says, sending crews to various locations to handle multiple projects.Those projects begin with a free assessment to determine whats needed whether thats a full remodel; renovations in a bathroom or kitchen; or the installation of ramps, lifts and other devices. The firm also works with doctors, physical therapists and other health care providers to tailor services to their patients.Modifications often are made to bathrooms and kitchens to make them more accessible and safer for people to use, Siegesmund says. That might include barrier-free showers and grab bars in bathrooms as well as lower cabinets and pull-out shelves in kitchens to accommodate people in wheelchairs. Lifts and ramps also are popular additions, she says.Siegesmund says its important for her crews to remain sensitive to customers and their needs. Its definitely a more sensitive type of work.After a project, crews offer training on using new features and equipment to make sure customers know how to use them safely.The projects make a difference in customers lives, Siegesmund and Hayes say.Hayes she knows firsthand the benefits of modifications because of the assistance they offered her mother in dealing with the effects of a neurological disease.Hayes that instilled in her a passion for helping others facing similar challenges. Before joining SafeSpace, she served as director of a nonprofit organization providing mobility support for people living with physical disabilities.Modifications and specialized equipment can help people remain safely in their homes for as long as possible, in turn avoiding the expenses associated with skilled care, Hayes says.Siegesmund says she hopes to open a showroom in Grand Junction to display the various ramps, lifts and other equipment that can improve accessibility.But for now, she says shes excited about new services that will help customers with unique needs.Hayes agrees. Its a lot of excitement. The community has really embraced what we do.For more information about SafeSpace Builders, call (970) 462-9472 or visithttps://safespacebuilders.co.

This month with KKTV we discussed gym memberships and Medicare. Lyndsey Pouncey of the YMCA joined us in discussing what the YMCA and the Senior Center of Colorado Springs have to offer to Seniors and how to gain access at no cost with your Medicare plan.Medicare plans with gym membershipsA lot of Medicare plans now offer free gym memberships as a part of their benefits package. These free gym memberships come in a variety of names, but if your plan offers a free gym membership the end result is the same. you get to go to a gym at no cost, such as the YMCA and the Senior Center of Colorado Springs.Medicare plans such as Medicare Advantage plans (Medicare Part C) or Medicare Supplement plans provide these gym memberships. If you are unsure if your current Medicare plan is providing the free gym membership benefit, give our office a call and we can let you know if you have access or let you know how to get access. Many beneficiaries on Medicare do not even realize what benefits actually are a part of the plan they chose, let alone if there is a free gym membership included. So, do not feel alone if you are unsure what benefits your Medicare plan is providing to you.That is what our offices in Southern Colorado are here for. With our local offices you can schedule reviews of your plan options and benefit reviews to ensure you take advantage of everything that is available in your area at no cost. We can also let you know what gyms are near you that will allow you to utilize your no cost membership benefit.YMCA and the Senior CenterThe YMCA and the Senior Center of Colorado Springs were able to join us this month for KKTV to go over some of the great benefits their buildings provide. If you have not been to a YMCA recently it is definitely worth the trip. The YMCA is providing daily Silver Sneaker programs, group exercises, pool therapy, racquetball games, cycling, and much more. They are very involved with the community and try to provide as much resources as possible to the senior community.There are several YMCA buildings around Southern Colorado that provide a ton of senior oriented services. Take a look at the local YMCA locations and join one today at no cost with your free gym membership!Veterans and Free Gym MembershipsVeterans with VA access or Tricare for Life do not get a gym membership (unless you want to go to the base with all the trainees) included with their coverage benefits when they get Medicare. HealthCare coverage with Tricare and service-connected veterans can be top-notch, but when it comes to some of the ancillary benefits such as a free gym membership the government is not providing it.The great thing is there are plans available for Veterans that provide the gym membership benefits, along with many other benefits. If you have not had a chance to review your Medicare & Tricare or VA access coverage, then you should reach out to us because you are missing out on benefits that you are eligible for. We know it can seem daunting and seem too good to be true, but there are plans available for Veterans that do not affect the government provided HealthCare to enhance the benefits provided.Thank you to KKTV 11 ConnectsWe are very happy to be a part of the KKTV 11 connects family and to be able to provide these valuable interviews with them. If you have not had a chance to take a look at what KKTV 11 connects is doing in the community, take a look at KKTV 11 connects page. We look forward to next months interview and hope you will enjoy it. (Get excited: we will be joined by a great person, helping an organization do great things for those with Alzheimers- can you guess who it is, or what organization?)As always if you have any more questions, you are more than welcome to reach out to our office and talk with one of your local Medicare Brokers.
