Are you 50+ years old?Do you want an aff�ordable, compre-

hensive exercise program without goingto a gym?

Would you feel more confi�dent exer-cising with an instructor specifi�callytrained to work with older adults?

Would you like tomake new friends?

If your answer isYES to the questionsabove, then thereare fi�tness classes inyour communitythat may help youturn yourself into a

confi�dent, fi�t, engaged SUPERPOWER!Well, that last word may be stretching ita bit, but everything is relative.

As Woodville instructor, Llona Geigerstates, “Movement is medicine.” Sheeven had bumper stickers made withthese exact words. She gives them out toher students and stresses the impor-tance of remaining active, adding that“moving is important but, movingSAFELY is key.” Older adults often havemobility issues that make certain move-

ments risky. Having an instructor who isfamiliar with the physical challenges ofseniors helps keep students safe.

Another added benefi�t of taking a fi�t-ness class -- social connections. Thismay be even more important than thephysical exercise. Connections to oth-ers wards off� social isolation and loneli-ness. This helps to increase longer life,and QUALITY of life.

So, tuck that recliner back in, becomea movin’ and groovin’ senior, and makeyour way to a Senior Fitness class nearyou! Classes are open to men and wom-en. For class schedules at County out-reach sites, and the Tallahassee SeniorCenter, see page 4.

The new year is a great time to cleanyour home, organize your records, andupdate your important documents. Oneof those documents should be FiveWishes®, an advance care planningguide.

What do you do if you are unable tocommunicate or make decisions in thefuture to be ensured your wishes arefollowed by health and social care pro-fessionals? What does life-supporttreatment” mean to you? Do you wantto put an added stress on your familyand friends by having them guess whatyou want when it comes to assistedbreathing or feeding devices?

Advance Care Planning (ACP) in-volves thinking about what mattersmost to you, making decisions aboutwhat kind of medical care and treat-ment you would or would not want ifyou were at the end of life, and choosinga person who can understand these de-cisions and speak for you if you are un-able (healthcare surrogate.)

Five Wishes® is a document thathelps you and the people in your life talktogether about these important mat-ters. It’s called an advance directive, be-cause it helps you make decisions in ad-vance that can direct your care later,and because it’s recognized in Floridaas a legal document for this purpose.

All Big Bend Hospice (BBH) patientsand Transition clients receive a FiveWishes® document in their admissionpacket. Their assigned social worker, atrained ACP Facilitator, can facilitate aconversation that includes:

h Thinking through one’s relevantvalues and preferences.

h Talking about one’s values andpreferences with one’s spokesperson(selecting a healthcare surrogate).

h Documenting one’s wishes utiliz-ing Five Wishes®.

h Reviewing the ACP periodically astheir medical and/or social conditionsmay change.

BBH also off�ers Five Wishes® on De-mand through their website, www.big-bendhospice.org/advance-directives.They also off�er Five Wishes @ Work tohelp employers and organizations en-sure their employees and members getthe care they want. Groups who off�er

advance care planning have seen a re-duction in unwanted healthcare costswhile increasing trust and productivity.You can get additional informationabout Five Wishes through Aging withDignity, a national non-profi�t organiza-tion that affi�rms and safeguards humandignity,

“Discussing Advance Care Planning(ACP) early and often is so important,”says BBH Training and DevelopmentManager, Laura Strickland, MSN, RN,CHPN. “So many health care profes-sionals are uncomfortable discussingdeath and dying with their patients. Iam so grateful BBH has an ACP programto provide the community-clinical andnon-clinical-with the resources itneeds to start the discussion on EOLpreparation.”

The phrase ‘thank you’ seems farfrom suffi�cient when referring to thetremendous assistance Elder Care Ser-vices has received from the City of Tal-lahassee, Leon and Wakulla Counties,the United Way of the Big Bend, theUnited Way of Northwest Florida, andgenerous donors over the past year.

At Elder Care, we are in awe of theoutpouring of support from locals andbusinesses as they continue to provideconsistent and nourishing meals, fansand heaters to keep seniors comfort-able, and monetary donations that al-low us to respond to emergencies andemploy critical personnel. The pandem-ic has tested us like never before, but we

continue on with the mission of improv-ing the quality of life for seniors andtheir caregivers.

More than ever, our community hasrallied together to support essentialcommunity-based programs that havebecome a lifeline for a growing numberof people in need.

Elder Care Services has proudly beenserving Leon County for 51 years — eversince a group of concerned citizens gottogether in 1970 to start a nonprofi�t forthose aging in their homes.

From the start of our fl�agship pro-gram of Meals on Wheels, Elder CareServices has expanded to provide pro-fessional, in-home resources for thosewho prefer to be in their homes or can-not aff�ord nursing home or senior resi-

dential placements. All of our programsaddress how to stay safely aging-in-place while also combating social isola-tion — a detriment to one’s mental andphysical health.

We serve seniors who, for a variety ofreasons (economic, social, etc.), live onvery meager incomes. Often, our seniorneighbors are forced to forgo essentialsin order to purchase prescriptions orother necessities like utilities. Eachyear, we receive over 2,000 calls re-questing critical needs like in-homecare, food, adult briefs, and more —items that are often unobtainable forseniors on a fi�xed income. Without gen-erous donors, we could not rise to meetthese needs and ensure that our fellowcitizens are taken care of.

As the number of seniors who arestaying in their homes is growing, ElderCare Services is here to answer that call.As we have done for the past 51 years, wewill continue to improve the quality oflife for Leon County’s seniors, creatingequitable options to meet their needs -all with the support of people just likeyou. Thank you.

Elder Care Services, Inc. is a privatenon-profi�t corporation, dedicated to im-proving the quality of life for seniors inLeon and the surrounding counties, al-lowing them to remain at home withdignity.

Caring community shows seniors they matterNicole Ballas


Making a diff�erence to a favoritecharity doesn’t have to be complicated.For example, designating 3% of your es-tate or 50% of a life insurance policy toan organization such as the TallahasseeSenior Center Foundation, you help sus-tain the incredible programs which im-prove the lives of seniors in this commu-nity.

In the words of Linda Roberts, a long-time TSC member, volunteer and donor:“Thanks to all the simple ways to leave alegacy, I have been able to easily sharewith the Senior Center Foundation fornow and for the future. By signing aform to leave a portion of a life insurancepolicy, by rolling over a required mini-mum distribution of an IRA and by re-membering friends with a star on theTallahassee Senior Center and Founda-tion Galaxy Star Wall, I have had the joyof giving to one of my favorite charities,the Tallahassee Senior Center andFoundation and of knowing I am help-ing make life better for my fellow sen-iors.”
