August Greetings�

�

From everyone over here at the ADRC, we hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and cool now that

we are in the heart of the summer season. These are still unusual times and we are here to help you. Please

do not hesitate to reach out for assistance or support. You are not alone! �

�

As you know, the current state surrounding the coronavirus situation here in Door County is ever�evolving.

And our plans are always subject to change. However, we truly appreciate everyone’s understanding and

patience as we continue to hold many discussions on how to gradually open our doors in an effort to keep

you, our staff, volunteers and the community at�large safe and healthy. �

�

On Monday, July 6th, the Aging and Disability Resource Center/Door County Community Center building

opened our doors to the public but by appointment only, which includes those who have a scheduled office

visit with an Information & Assistance Specialist/Elderly or Disability Benefit Specialist, preregistered to

use the fitness room, public computer workstations and small group activities or classes. �

�

Walk�ins will be seen by front desk staff to make a future appointment or to complete any activity or class

preregistrations. At this time appointments for the fitness room and computer station will only be set up for

one week at a time and are subject to change.�

�

Public Computer Workstations�

There will only be one public computer workstation available at any given time and preregistration for use is

required. Time limits for computer use will be 45 minutes at a time, leaving at least 15 minutes to clean and

disinfect. Individuals will have the option to extend their time if there are no appointments immediately �

following. All public computer appointments will begin no earlier than 9:00a.m. and no later than 3:00p.m.

so there is time to clean the station before the end of the day. Appointments will not occur during the time

we provide our carry out meals between 11a.m. � 12:30p.m. to ensure the proper screening can be �

completed. Individuals are required to wear a mask while using the computer workstations. The computer

and workstation will be disinfected after each use, by ADRC staff. �

�

Fitness Room�

The ADRC fitness room is also open to the public but on a very limited basis. There will only be two people

allowed in the fitness room at any given time and preregistration for use is required. Appointments for �

fitness room use will be 45 minutes, allowing at least 15 minutes to clean/disinfect in between each use. All

fitness room appointments will begin no earlier than 9:00a.m. and no later than 3:00p.m. to allow enough

time for cleaning. Appointments will not occur during the time we provide our carry out meals between

11a.m. � 12:30p.m. to ensure the proper screening can be completed. Individuals signed up for a fitness

room appointment are required to wear a mask anytime they are in the building besides the fitness room. �

Equipment in the fitness room will be arranged in such a way allowing at least 6 feet of distancing. The�

fitness room will be disinfected after each use, by ADRC staff. Individuals will also be expected to use the

disinfecting wipes after each use of fitness room equipment. All hand weights, kettle bells and exercise

bands will be removed at this time.�

One challenge of caring for a loved one can be organizing their important documents.

Keeping paperwork in order may seem overwhelming, especially if a system for sorting

and organizing has not yet been put in place. But however unpleasant this job might

seem it is a good idea to go through old records and determine whether it is time to

fire up the shredder or hold on to the records a bit longer. Keeping this paperwork �

organized will make life easier moving forward.�

�

Below are general recommendations on how long certain documents should be stored. �

�

Keep for Less than 1 Year �

�� ATM, bank�deposit, and credit�card receipts until you reconcile them with your

monthly statements. Once you've done that, shred the paper documents (to

avoid ID theft) or securely trash electronic files unless you need them to support

your tax return. �

�� Insurance policies and investment statements until new ones arrive. �

�� Pay stubs to verify W�2 at the end of the year. �

�

Keep for More than 1 Year �

�� Loan documents (until the loan is paid off). �

�� Vehicle titles until you sell the vehicles. �

�� Investment purchase confirmations in stocks, bonds, mutual funds or anything

else. Keep until you sell the investment so you can establish your cost basis and

holding period. If that information appears on your annual statements, you can

keep those instead. �

�

Keep for 7 Years �

�� Supporting tax documents (W�2, charitable donations receipts, etc.) �

�

Keep Forever �

�� Essential records such as birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, divorce

decrees, Social Security cards, and military discharge papers. �

�� Defined�benefit plan documents, estate�planning documents, life�insurance �

policies, and an inventory of your bank safe�deposit box. �

�� Annual tax returns. �

In the Sturgeon Bay community, transportation is a

basic need. It is a hardship for older adults and

people with disabilities when they do not have �

access to safe, reliable, efficient and affordable

transportation. They may not be able to access

medical care, groceries, or activities at the ADRC,

which isolates these individuals and diminishes �

� � � � � their quality of life. �

��

The ADRC bus and van are both wheelchair accessible. The cost of a ride is $2.00 per

stop. The ride to and from the ADRC for the Noon meal is $2 round trip. Gift �

Certificates are also available. �

Public health workers use contact tracing to track the spread of an infectious disease. Workers interview people

who have the disease and ask them for the names and phone numbers of everyone they have been in contact

with during the time they were contagious. Then, they alert anyone who may have been exposed. The names of

people who test positive are kept confidential. The workers will ask about symptoms, offer testing, and discuss

steps like quarantine and treatment. These workers usually work for a state or county department of public

health. Health departments have used contact tracing for decades to stop the spread of infectious disease.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) says that contact tracers will always identify themselves as

representatives of state or local public health departments. They will reach out to you by phone, text, or email,

depending on the contact information they have for you. If they contact you, they will verify that they are

speaking to the correct person before they even begin to talk about contact tracing. Once they confirm that they

are speaking with the right person, they will explain why they are contacting you. They will tell you that you have

been exposed, but they will not identify the person you were in contact with or where you might have been

exposed.

Contact tracers will ask you for:

��Your name,

��Your address,

��Your phone number,

��Your email address,

��Your occupation and work status,

��Your gender,

��Your race and ethnicity, and

��Whether you have any symptoms.

Then, the contact tracer will explain quarantine recommendations and sign you up for self-monitoring. Contact

tracers will not ask you for information like your Social Security, bank account, or credit card number. In addi-

tion, they will never send you a text message or email with a link to click. You can always verify the identity of

contact tracing staff by calling your local health department and asking to be connected directly to the contact

tracer.

All contact tracers have received training in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA),

which protects patient privacy, and the Wisconsin Electronic Disease Surveillance System (WEDSS). WEDSS is

the secure system that handles the reporting, investigation, and monitoring of the information contact tracers

receive.

Unfortunately, scammers are pretending to be contact tracers and taking advantage of this process. Some

scammers use robocalls that try to get you to speak to someone posing as a contact tracer who wants to verify

your personal information. Other scammers send text messages that ask you to click a link.�

If you receive a robocall, hang up immediately without responding. Do not press any buttons even if they

prompt you to “Press 1 to be removed from our list.” By speaking or pressing a button the scammer knows this

line has someone on the other end and may increase the calls.

If you receive a message via text, email, or through social media from someone claiming to be a contact tracer,

don’t click the link. This is a “phishing” scam. Clicking on the link will download software onto your device that

may give scammers access to your personal and financial information. Ignore and delete these scam messages.

If you have been contacted by someone you think was not a legitimate contact tracer, please alert the

Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection: [email protected] or

(800) 422-7128. You can also contact the National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF) Hotline at

1-866-720-5721. Alternatively, you can fill out the NCDF web complaint form here: https://www.justice.gov/

disaster-fraud/webform/ncdf-disaster-complaint-form.

Ask a Benefit Specialist

What's Medicare?

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, certain

younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent

kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, sometimes called ESRD).

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 C (Medicare Advantage Plans)

A type of Medicare health plan offered by a private company that contracts with

Medicare to provide you with all your Part A and Part B benefits. Medicare Advantage

Plans include Health Maintenance Organizations, Preferred Provider Organizations, Private

Fee-for-Service Plans, Special Needs Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans.

If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, most Medicare services are covered

through the plan and aren’t paid for under Original Medicare. Most Medicare

Advantage Plans offer prescription drug coverage.

Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage)

Part D adds prescription drug coverage to Original Medicare, some Medicare Cost Plans,

some Medicare Private-Fee-for-Service Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account

Plans. These plans are offered by insurance companies and other private companies

approved by Medicare. Medicare Advantage Plans may also offer prescription drug

coverage that follows the same rules as Medicare Prescription Drug Plans.


Medication lock boxes are specially designed to store your prescription and over-

the-counter medications in one secure place and assist in protecting your family from

medication misuse. Here is the link to the survey that needs to be completed before you

receive the lock box https://doorcountyparents.com/medication-lock-boxes-available/

Sun Protection Tips for Older Adults

By the GWAAR Legal Services Team

A popular myth is that sun damage that leads to skin cancer occurs during childhood. However, according to the

Skin Cancer Foundation, over half of skin cancer related deaths are people over the age of 65. Because the risk

of developing skin cancer rises each year and sun damage can happen quickly, everyone needs to use sunscreen.

But according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fewer than half of older adults

adequately protect their skin from the sun.

Not any old sunscreen will do. Choose a sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher and one that protects from UVA

and UVB rays (broad-spectrum). A sunscreen’s SPF (sun protection factor) determines how well it can absorb

and reflect the sun’s rays. A sunscreen that is labeled SPF 30 absorbs 97% of the sun’s burning rays. It’s also

important to know that wearing sunscreen with a higher SPF does not mean you can stay outdoors longer

without applying more. You’ll still need to reapply it to protect your skin especially if you are swimming or

sweating heavily. Broad-spectrum sunscreen is important because UVA rays penetrate the lower levels of the

skin. They account for 95% of rays. UVB rays make up a smaller percentage of UV rays, but they cause most

sunburns and sun damage.

Additionally, research shows there is very little difference in effectiveness between sunscreen sticks, sprays, gels,

and creams. Buying several formats can make it easier to protect small or hard-to-reach body parts, such as the

back of the ears. Sunscreen sticks are good for ears and noses and are also easy to take with you on bike rides and

walks. Sprays and creams can cover larger surface areas more efficiently, such as the back, arms, and legs. Gels

tend to adhere better on areas with hair, like the hairline and scalp.

Americans with Disabilities Act Celebrates 30th Anniversary

By the GWAAR Legal Services Team

July 26 marks 30 years since President George H. W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

into law. This civil rights law prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities, with protections

similar to those based on race, sex, age, religion, and sexuality. The purpose of the ADA is to give individuals

with disabilities equal opportunities in regards to employment, transportation, school, telecommunications

and access to all public and private places that are open to the general public.

In the workplace, the ADA only applies to private employers with 15 or more employees, state and local

governments, employment agencies, and labor unions. The ADA requires employers to make “reasonable

accommodations,” or changes to comply with the ADA for those with disabilities who are qualified for the

position. Accommodations are considered “reasonable” if they do not create an “undue hardship” or “direct

threat” to the employer. Changes employers can make to comply with the ADA can include the application/

hiring process, the way the job is performed, the work environment, or the job itself. Other reasonable

accommodations include flexible scheduling and/or frequent breaks, alternative communication formats,

providing accessible parking, and allowing service animals.

Note: service animals are different from emotional support animals, which employers are not required to allow

because they are not covered under the ADA.

�

Public transportation, including bus and train (rail) service, is also covered under the ADA. It is required that

public entities make their programs, services, and activities accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Transportation offered by private companies (such as taxis and airport shuttles) are required to make

reasonable modifications to their usual ways of doing things when serving people with disabilities and take

necessary steps to effectively communicate with customers with vision, hearing, and speech disabilities.

The ADA also requires telephone and internet companies to provide telecommunications relay services so that

individuals with hearing and speech disabilities can communicate by phone. It also requires closed captioning

on federally funded public service announcements.

Additionally, the ADA sets the minimum standards for accessibility of facilities by prohibiting private places of

public accommodation from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. Examples of public

accommodations include facilities such as hotels, restaurants, retail locations, doctor’s offices, health clubs,

sports stadiums, movie theaters, etc. The ADA also requires public accommodations to remove barriers in

existing buildings where it is easy to do so without much difficulty and expense, and make “reasonable

modifications” to their standard operations when serving people with disabilities (for example, making home

deliveries, assistance reaching inaccessible shelves, etc.)

Happy summer! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the

farmers markets are in full swing. Farmers markets are a great way

to support local farmers & businesses, while getting delicious pro‐

duce at reasonable prices. �

August is the perfect time of the year to explore your local farmers

markets due to the large volume of seasonally available produce!

Produce like cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, onions, spinach, toma‐

toes, raspberries, and blueberries are all typically available. In addi‐

tion, there are usually vendors offering unique baked goods, spe‐

cialty drinks, and crafts.�

My favorite find at the Eau Claire Farmers Market is gluten free

cheese curds! Yum! Whatever your summer craving is, the farmers

market is sure to have it. Buying produce this way also helps to

promote sustainable agriculture by reducing resources used to

package & transport the produce.

This August venture out to your local farmers market & pick up

some fresh & delicious produce to use at home. The local variety of

summer produce doesn’t last long in the Midwest, so we must take

advantage while we can!�
