Lifespan Is Here to Help You and Your Family Age Well. We Promise Lifespan is here to help you and your family age well. We promise. 2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT It’s time to fulfill the promise that Rochester will be a great place to age well. Dear Friends, United States Population 80 This is a transformational moment in time. Our community, in millions 65 years + like the state, country and world, has more people 60, 65, 70 75 and 85 and older than ever before. 85 years + 60 2015 is the tipping point year. In 2015, 20 percent of 50 New York State residents and 21 percent of Monroe County residents are 60 or older for the first time in 40 history. Within a few years that number will grow to 25% 30 or one in four. Demographers call this the age wave. 20 It’s often said that Rochester is a great place to raise a family. Now, with more people living longer, we are faced 10 with a challenge to also make Rochester a great place to 0 age well. 1900 1940 1970 1990 2010 2020 2030 2050 Lifespan serves as the regional aging services “utility” by providing the essential services residents need to age well. Lifespan’s sole focus is providing information, guidance and services geared toward helping older adults and their caregivers take on the challenges and the opportunities of longer life. It’s a promise we made over 40 years ago, and we intend to keep it. In 2014 we launched the Fulfilling the Promise fundraising campaign because we need to change the ways we think about aging and the ways we guide and inform older adults and caregivers. With the Fulfilling the Promise campaign, we are challenging this community to make older adults a center of attention — both those who want to use their experience and talents through purposeful aging, as well as those who need supports. In the coming years, Lifespan will begin an age wave transformation focused on: I Helping more older adults live at home as long as possible. I More fully supporting family caregivers. I Ensuring that elders are free from abuse and financial exploitation. I Promoting purposeful aging and helping a new generation of “retirees” decide the “what’s next” in T R O their lives.

New Help for Coordinating Medical Care It can be hard keeping track of medical appointments, remembering what questions to ask and what the doctor said during an appointment, finding transportation and knowing about medications. To enhance care, Lifespan began providing health care coordination for Medicaid beneficiaries age 50 and older under a contract with the New York State Department of Health. R.N. and L.P.N. nurses are helping people with all aspects of their health care including setting up appointments and transportation, being present at medical appointments to act as a scribe and advocate and ensuring that the correct prescriptions are filled and used as directed. Our goals include fewer ED visits, hospitalizations and 30-day readmissions, Prevent a Fall to Age Well! a reduction in caregiver stress and ultimately postponement of long-term care placement.

Yet, only 1% of health dollars are spent on public efforts to improve overall health. That is why we sent staff to be trained to lead chronic disease self-care management classes. Developed by Stanford University, “Living Healthy” and “Living Great Connections to Healthy with Diabetes” are proven to help people with chronic conditions learn how to manage and improve Help You Age Well – their own health while reducing health care costs.

This includes physical and psychological abuse, neglect and financial exploitation which is the most frequent type of abuse. The common theme is an older adult being influenced by another person through guilt, persuasion, and/or threats (to be left alone or put in a nursing home if they don’t do what is asked; to physically harm the older adult or others, including pets; to not be able to see grandchildren or other loved ones; etc.). These tactics are used primarily by perpetrators to gain recommendations and support to those professionals access to the older adult’s money or property via joint working on very complex financial exploitation accounts, property transfers, or powers of attorney — cases.

  • MUSIC 351: Psychedelic Rock of the 1960S Spring 2015, T 7:00–9:40 P.M., ENS-280
    MUSIC 351: Psychedelic Rock of the 1960s Spring 2015, T 7:00–9:40 p.m., ENS-280 Instructor: Eric Smigel ([email protected]) M-235, office hours: Mondays & Tuesdays, 3:00–4:00 p.m. This is a lecture class that surveys psychedelic rock music and culture of the 1960s. Psychedelic music played an important role in the development of rock music as a predominant art form during one of the most formative decades in American history. Emerging along with the powerful counterculture of hippies in the mid-1960s, psychedelic rock reflects key elements of the “Love Generation,” including the peace movement, the sexual revolution, the pervasive use of recreational drugs (especially marijuana and LSD), and the growing awareness of Eastern philosophy. The main centers of countercultural activity—the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and the London Underground—drew a high volume of media exposure, resulting in the famous “Summer of Love” and culminating in popular music festivals in Monterey, Woodstock, and Altamont. Students in this course will examine the music and lyrics of a selection of representative songs by The Grateful Dead, The Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and other bands closely associated with the burgeoning psychedelic scene. Students will also consult primary source material—including interviews with several of the musicians, influential literature of the period, and essays by key figures of the movement—in order to gain insight into the social, political,
