Light refreshments will be served during the break. About “The Aging Picasso’s Art for All Program” 3
The Aging Picasso’s Art for All Program is a hands-on art activity that allows unlimited expression in varying media. From simple sketching out of the aging artist’s interpretation to full masterpiece interpretation in oil paint.
The Aging Picasso’s Art for All Program is just that, art for anyone 60 years old and older, with or without cognitive deficits or challenges, and with or without physical impairments or challenges. Art for All!!!
The participants of the program will meet each Tuesday for 6 weeks from 3 PM to 5 PM. The first class will introduce the participants to simple sketching of a still-life object and basic beginning stages of watercolor painting. The program is progressive and advances to the next 2-week phase when the artists are comfortable moving forward to stage two which is acrylic painting. The same content as watercolor, only more vibrant and easier to paint than watercolor. The third and final stage is that of oil painting. Oil painting takes longer to ‘learn’ but once techniques have developed, it’s easier than acrylic painting. Oil paint takes much, much longer to dry and can be picked up at the end of the second week of stage three.
The Aging Picasso’s Art for All Program is a relaxed, friendly, judgement free environment where people can have fun expressing themselves; learn a new skill or technique and make new friends. Although there is no clinical or medical intent or advice, creative expression through art can provide the participant with feelings of accomplishment, self-worth, and inner joy.
Classes and materials are free. Light refreshments will also be available to the class attendees free of charge.
All PROGRAM CLASSES ARE BEING HELD AT THE: GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER CENTER (710 West 3rd Street) 710 West Percy Baker Ave. Peoria, IL 61605

Serving Fulton, Marshall, Peoria, Stark, Tazewell, and Woodford Counties Learn as much as you can about your loved one’s health, treatments and available caregiving resources. You can understand what is going on, anticipate the course of an illness, prevent crises, and assist in healthcare management.
Organize important paperwork. Keep all vital information in one place and up-to-date, including healthcare documents, wills and financial information. Provide copies to other caregivers.
Make sure at least one caregiver has written permission to receive medical and financial information. To the extend possible, one person should handle conversation with all healthcare providers.
Plan your visits. Find out in advance what the person would like to do. Aim for simple and relaxing activities. And check with the primary caregiver to see if you can help with any priority tasks.
Stay connected. Schedule calls with healthcare providers and facility staff to discuss the person’s well-being. Update trusted family members on your loved one’s health and needs.
Consider caregiver training. Some local chapters of the American Red Cross or other not-for-profit organizations might offer caregiving courses. Medicare and Medicaid will sometimes cover the cost of this training.

Mary Ince
CIAA Caregiver Intern A few years ago, Debbie, who has suffered from severe arthritis most of her life, was so sick that she was stuck in bed all week. The first time she ventured out of bed, she fell while trying to lift her leg up to get back into the bed. She ended up breaking her kneecap and five of her toes. Debbie spent a week in the hospital, fighting off infections. She was discharged to a nursing home, where she was supposed to stay until she was
able to walk again. However, her husband Jerry reports, he was dissatisfied when she lost even more muscle tone during her three weeks there. Debbie was then transferred to residential rehabilitation. Unfortunately, when she finally returned home, six weeks later, she was still not ambulatory, and would not regain her mobility.
As Jerry shares their story, he pauses periodically to inject sweet words of devotion towards his wife of forty-two years. “I’m crazy about my wife, and everybody that meets her just falls in love with her right away.” He goes on to explain that at the time Debbie returned home, his eighty-seven-year-old mother-in-law, “a real sweetheart” who suffered from Alzheimer’s, was also staying with them. Now Jerry was caring for both of the ladies. Although he emphasizes that this was “a labor of love”, he also had a job to maintain outside of the home. “I was a little bit overwhelmed, as you might imagine.” A social worker from the hospital had given them the number for the Central
Illinois Agency on Aging.
Jerry brightens as he talks about their experience with the agency. After the struggles and frustrations he and his wife had endured, they were extremely relieved by the agency’s compassionate, efficient response. “You folks were so kind back when this first happened.” The Central Illinois Agency on Aging referred them to a provider “that was not on any other list” they had been given from other sources. He tells me that they could not be happier with this service provider, which still accords them kindly, well-trained certified nurse’s aides who come out four days a week, for eight hours a day to help Debbie while Jerry is at work. [His beloved mother-in-law passed away eighteen months ago.] The devoted couple is also grateful for the two respite care grants allocated to them by the Central
Illinois Agency on Aging.
Nowadays, Jerry assesses, “It is still difficult, but more livable; more manageable.” He shares their story with friends, and recommends the Central Illinois Agency on Aging. “I don’t know how we would have gotten through that time without their help”. Because of the agency’s assistance, he adds, he can leave the house with the assurance that Debbie, the love of his life, “is in good hands”.

2020CENSUS.GOV 12 Staying Safe When Exercising Outdoors for
Older Adults
You’ve made a plan to be more active, and you’re ready to go outside and get started. But before you do, make sure that you can exercise safely in your neighborhood. Here are a few tips that can help you stay safe as you get moving.
Think ahead about safety.
Carry your ID with emergency contact information and bring a small amount of cash and a cell phone with you, especially if walking alone. Stay alert by not talking on the phone as you walk and keeping the volume low on your headphones. Let others know where you’re going and when you plan to be back. Stick to well-lit places with other people around. Be seen to be safe. Wear light or brightly colored clothing during the day. Wear reflective material on your clothing and carry a flashlight at night. Put lights on the front and back of your bike. Wear sturdy, appropriate shoes for your activity that give you proper footing.
Tips for Exercising in Hot Weather
Many people enjoy warm-weather outdoor activities like walking, gardening, or playing tennis. Make sure to play it safe in hot weather. Too much heat can be risky for older adults and people with health problems. Being hot for too long can cause hyperthermia—a heat-related illness that includes heat stroke and heat exhaustion.
If you want to be active when it’s hot outside:
Check the weather forecast. If it’s very hot or humid, exercise inside with videos online, or walk in an air-conditioned building like a shopping mall. Drink plenty of liquids. Water and fruit juices are good options. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. If your doctor has told you to limit liquids, ask what to do when it is very hot outside. Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothes in natural fabrics. Dress in layers so you can remove clothing as your body warms up from activity. Know the signs of heat-related illnesses and get medical help right away if you think someone has one.

With summer around the corner, smart sun-lovers are planning how to keep their skin safe from sunburn and skin cancer while enjoying the warmer weather. Here are some important facts about sunscreen that will have you loving your skin and the summer at the same time!
Sunscreen is protective. Sunscreen does protect your skin from the sun’s rays, when used as directed. However, some re- search suggests that sunscreen users get burned frequently, which may be because they use too little, apply it/reapply it too late, or use it to engage in otherwise unsafe sun exposure, like staying out long- er or not wearing protective clothing.
You have to use a lot. That means a shot glass full to cover the full body, a fourth to a half teaspoon for the face. Studies have shown that consumers use much less sunscreen than is Studies have shown that consumers use much needed to effectively protect, so use more than you think you need, or less sunscreen than is needed to effectively protect, so use more than you think you need. get a measuring spoon!
Don’t use it solo; it’s important to use a combination of sun safety approaches for effective sun protection. Sunscreen isn’t an all-protective force field. It is intended to be combined with other sun-safety approaches, like covering up with clothing, staying in the shade, wearing a hat, and scheduling activities to avoid times of day when the sun is most intense (10AM – 4PM).
It doesn’t have to be greasy. Recent advances in sunscreen technology have led to a variety of improved textures and consistencies of sunscreens, from sticks for those who like to roll it on, to light milks that spread easily and leave no white cast. The days of thick pastes are over, but you still need to apply a lot, so pick a product with a texture you really like!
It isn’t just a girl thing. Few men look forward to having wrinkles, age spots, or discolored skin. Sunscreen isn’t just a product for women; using sunscreen and other sun-safety strategies is critical for anyone looking to prevent the premature aging that comes with sun exposure—not to mention helping prevent skin cancer. Sunscreen isn’t just a product for women; using Coconut oil is not a good sunscreen. Although some sunscreens contain coconut oil, the sunscreen and other oil itself is not adequate to prevent skin damage. Coconut oil may extend the time to burn sun-safety strategies is critical for anyone for some individuals, but the level of UV protection is very low and may be highly looking to prevent variable by source, so don’t rely on coconut oil to protect your skin! premature aging.
Sunscreen is NOT a “Do-It-Yourself” kind of product. Sunscreen is a non-prescription drug intended to protect the skin. You wouldn’t strap your child in using a seatbelt you made at home, so why protect their skin with untested homemade sunscreen? If you’re concerned about the safety of ingredients in sunscreen, there are other options. You can move your outdoor activities to morning or evening, when the sun is less intense, and cover up, wear a hat, stay in the shade, and use a store-bought, mineral-based sunscreen.

Think you don't have enough time to prepare meals with more produce? Try these 10 easy suggestions.
It's a well-known fact, but it's worth repeating: Fruits and vegetables can help protect you against many chronic diseas- es — not to mention, they also provide you with the vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function. Try these tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Agriculture. Before you know it, they will be a seamless part of your everyday lifestyle. Make a fruit-and-yogurt parfait for breakfast. Mix a handful of low-fat granola with low-fat yogurt. Add sliced bananas or strawberries. Top a piece of whole-grain toast with peanut butter and sliced bananas. Mix blueberries or raspberries into your muffin or pan- cake batter. Add bell peppers, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms or toma- toes to your scrambled eggs or egg-white omelet. Like pizza? Opt for lots of vegetable toppings and less cheese. Mix green beans, corn, broccoli or peas into your favorite casserole or pasta dish. Aim to eat more veggies than you do pasta. Make a meal of vegetable soup and salad. Beef up your lettuce salad with cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots and sliced cucumbers. Create a healthier sandwich: Include lots of spinach or romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced onions and sliced cucumbers, along with whatever lean protein is your favorite. Mix fresh fruit, ice cubes and low-fat yogurt in a blender for a fruit-smoothie snack. Keep apples, oranges, pears and bananas nearby for go-to snacking.
Explore different varieties of vegetables and fruits for appealing tastes and textures. The more you experiment, the easier it will become to incorporate these foods into your daily diet and reap all the health benefits.
