MARCH EVENTS March 14– Daylight Savings Time– Set clocks ahead 1 hour– Benjamin Franklin first suggested the idea as a joke in 1784. George Hudson, a New Zealander proposed it in 1885, but was ridiculed. The Germans officially adopted it in 1915 as a fuel saving measure during WWI. The British adopted it in 1916 and the United States followed in 1918. It was repealed in 1920 when the dairy farmers opposed it. Daylight Savings Time was reinstated during WWII to save on fuel and has been used on and off over time. Currently, it starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE: The CDC (Centers for Disease Control ) extends the Federal Eviction Moratorium through March 31, 2021. This order protects tenants from eviction based on non-payment of rent. Wisconsin renters should know they are not auto-matically entitled protection under the CDC order. Wisconsin renters who are struggling to make rent payments are encouraged to seek this important relief by submitting a request in writing to their landlord. To invoke the moratorium, tenants, lessees or residents of residential properties must provide a signed copy of the declaration form provided by the CDC, to their landlord or residential property owner. The federal legislation that extends the CDC order includes $25 billion in emergency rental assistance for states and local governments. Renters who are eligible for this assistance may use the funding to pay their rent or utilities. The federal eviction moratorium does not exempt tenants from their obligation to pay rent and follow the terms of their lease.

CASE MANAGER’S NOTE: Monthly MIPPA Moment (Medicare Improvements for Patients and Provider Act- March is Save Your Vision Month as declared by the American Optometric Assoc. Original Medicare does not cover routine eye exams, glasses or contact lenses. Medicare coverage for specific tests or procedures is offered if you have glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes or age-related macular degeneration. Original Medicare Part B covers a glauco-ma screening every 12 months, if you are at high risk. Medicare B covers cataract surgery if it’s done using traditional surgical techniques or using lasers. Part B also helps pay for corrective lenses with standard frames or one set of contact lenses only if you have cataract surgery to implant an intraocular lens. Part B covers eye exams for diabetic retinopathy once a year, if you have diabetes. (Adapted from medicare.gov)

GETTING PATIENTS BACK IN Full Swing

The Chalet at Glorner Village was designed to bridge the gap between a hospital discharge and return to home. Common diagnoses of Chalet patients include joint replacements, debility/weakness, stroke, heart failure, fractures, and respiratory conditions. Emphasis of core is based on restorative and rehabilitation needs with lengths of stay averaging a few Weeks based upon care plans and goals.

WHO CAN BENEFIT? Patients whose needs cannot be met at home, but their condition is not severe enough to require a continued hospital stay are suited for The Chalet of Glorner Village. They generally require assistance with activities of daily living including eating, walking, bathing, dressing, and toileting.

Our goal is to assist individuals in regaining their optimum level of function and restore their ability to perform activities of daily living through skilled therapy, skilled nursing care, and socialization, enabling them to return to the place they call home.

New Glarus Home offers a full spectrum of services including Independent Retirement Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, and Inpatient and Outpatient Therapy.
