SUMMARY:Senior Helpers Special Presentation
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join Senior Helpers and Teepa Snow for a special presentation\, “The Effects of Social Isolation on Those Living with Dementia\,” on Thursday\, June 18th at 3:00 pm ET.  \nThis FREE virtual presentation for care partners and caregivers of individuals living with dementia will focus on dementia and care during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of maintaining social distancing boundaries to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus is challenging for all individuals but is typically even more so for those living with dementia. \nTeepa Snow will highlight the serious effects that social isolation may have on those living with brain change and will address how to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety in those living with dementia. \nThis session will also help providers recognize and respond more accurately to the unwanted effects of social isolation to reduce the chances of escalation and ‘non-helpful’ hospitalizations. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Telephone Assurance Program Offered
DESCRIPTION:We recognize that older adults and caregivers are facing many hardships due to COVID-19. Being separated from family\, experiencing the loss of loved ones\, and changing health status can contribute to feelings of isolation and loneliness. There are people who care and there are ways to stay connected. We want to show you care through conversation and ways to stay connected to others. Each week\, SARCOA can arrange a volunteer call to check on you or a loved one. At a minimum\, our volunteers will conduct one call a week\, but more calls can be made if requested. Each phone call provides reassurance by offering a listening ear and an encouraging word. \nThis is also a way to check on the safety of the individual and offer socialization. There are no income requirements\, nor age or living status criteria for joining the program. There is no cost to join or participate. If you would like to be added or would like to add someone to our telephone reassurance registry\, please submit the registration information that can be downloaded below. \nTo find out more or to download an application click here.

SUMMARY:Celebrate Older Americans Month
DESCRIPTION:Around the nation\, older adults make their marks every day as volunteers\, employees\, employers\, parents\, grandparents\, mentors\, and advocates. They offer their time\, talents\, and experience to the benefit of our communities.  \nFor 57 years\, Older Americans Month (OAM) has been a special time to recognize these contributions. Led by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) each May\, OAM also provides resources to help older Americans stay healthy and independent\, and materials to help communities support and celebrate their citizens. \nThis year’s OAM theme\, Make Your Mark\, highlights older adults’ unique and lasting contributions to their communities—everything from sharing a story with grandchildren to leaving a legacy of community action. In the spirit of this theme\, here are a few ways to make your mark this May and all year long: \nVolunteer your time. Local schools\, shelters\, food kitchens\, and hospitals always need support. Help a neighbor by prepping a meal\, picking up groceries\, or giving them a ride. Or\, take time to pass on your knowledge. Why not tutor a student who could use extra help in math\, music\, or science? \nShare your story. There are so many ways to do this\, from showing your grandkids around your old neighborhood to writing a book. Take a class and learn how to express yourself with the arts! Or\, assemble a photo album of important moments in your life. \nGet involved in your neighborhood. Join a homeowner or resident association\, organize a block party\, or sign up for a book club or other social group. Have a green thumb? Small projects like planting flowers in your yard or cleaning up the community park have a big impact. \nCommunities that support and include all their members are stronger! Please join [organization/community name] in strengthening our community – [insert call to action\, such as events\, volunteering opportunities\, or social media activities]. \nNeed OAM resources or want to learn more? Visit the official website\, acl.gov/oam\, and follow ACL on Twitter and Facebook. \nWe invite you to make your mark in May. The Administration For Community Living website provides artwork\, activity ideas\, and other materials to help you observe Older Americans Month. Don’t forget to share your #OAM2020 plans and stories on social media. \nClick here to go to the ACL artwork\, activity ideas\, and other materials website page.
