Celebrate the Lasts

We Celebrate Life is FairHoPes tag line. We do celebrate life and help our patients and their families celebrate life. One
of the ways we help people to celebrate life is to recognize the lasts of life and help them to celebrate those occurrences. A
FairHoPe volunteer once mentioned that one of the honors of being a FairHoPe patient care volunteer is the fact that most
likely the volunteer is the last person that the patient will ever meet. I had not thought about that but it is probably true.
I got to thinking about how many people I have met in my life and how many more I have yet to meet. And by this I mean
either to be formally introduced, or to interact with in some capacity. How many people does an ordinary person meet during
their entire life, 15,000, 30,000? When you think about it, starting at birth you are (sort of) introduced to your mother and father,
then immediate family, then aunts and uncles, cousins, and gradually to friends, teachers, clergy, coaches, spouse(s), in-laws,
coworkers, neighbors, medical personnel. And finally, should you choose FairHoPe, you meet the FairHoPe team. The patient
care volunteer is usually the last person on the FairHoPe team that the patient will meet. The volunteer that I mentioned above
said that he tries to treat everyone he is introduced to as the last person he will ever meet and to be honored by it. That seems
to emphasize the importance of lasts as much as firsts.
Our society celebrates the firsts in life but it usually doesnt celebrate the lasts. We celebrate baby first word but what
about the last word uttered before death? We celebrate babys first step but when was the last step taken, as an adult, before
he couldnt get out of bed anymore? We celebrate the first time that baby put the spoon in her mouth all by herself, but when
was the last time she fed herself before cancer left her too weak to lift the spoon?
Personally, I remember the thrill that I experienced the first time, as a little boy, when I broke away from my Dad running
alongside me, and rode a two wheeler by myself. But when did I park my bike in the garage, as a teenager, for the last time?
That, also, was a milestone and one of those subtle transitions from childhood to adulthood. And when was the last time I
played Hide and Seek with my friends in the neighborhood? Although I must admit that I do remember leaving high school on
the last day as a Senior and celebrating that last life event.
Life has as many lasts as it does firsts. We rarely celebrate the lasts because we rarely know when they occur. FairHoPe
staff is aware of how the body slowly turns itself off during the last stage of life and will let a family member know when such
a subtle, yet profound event has happened. FairHoPe helps our patients celebrate their lasts just as they had celebrated their
firsts. We give our patients and their family time to celebrate their entire life and all their accomplishments.
Not too long ago, one of the lasts that a patient and family got to experience was their last Thanksgiving dinner. With
the assistance of FairHoPe staff and volunteers, it was held at The Pickering House. The patient said how much he had
always loved Thanksgiving dinner, especially his son-in-laws homemade noodles. Well, even though it was summertime, we
encouraged the family to have a Last Supper so to speak and to celebrate. The family brought in all the ingredients and fixed
Thanksgiving dinner in The Pickering Houses family kitchen. The Pickering House staff set up a long banquet table in the
family dining room, and the patient and family had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. In another instance a husband and wife,
with the help of FairHoPe staff and volunteers, were able to celebrate their 58th wedding anniversary at home, surrounded by
their family just hours before the husband died. In a third example we were able to help a son and his dad go fishing together
one last time before the dad died.
When people who are not familiar with FairHoPe hear the word hospice, they think of sadness. They dont think for a
minute that there can be time to be happy and to celebrate. Yes there can be. In early life you celebrated the firsts. In later
life FairHoPe helps you to complete the Circle of Life and celebrate the lasts. We consider it to be an honor to be the last few
people that a patient will meet on this Earth, and we try to make them the best.

PRESS RELEASE:

Medicare Counselors Can Help Secure Savings for Many

Across the country, thousands of benefits counselors help people
with Medicare find benefits that help them pay for prescriptions,
health care, and other necessities.
Since 2009, benefits counselorssupported by the Medicare
Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA)have
helped more than half a million vulnerable seniors and adults with
disabilities apply for over $1.6 billion in benefits, and learn about
preventive services that can help them stay healthy.
In Southeast Ohio, The Area Agency on Aging 8 (AAA8) counselors Brandi Hesson, CIRS-A,
and Gerri VanNoy, SWA, CIRS-A, are professional Information and Referral (I&R) Specialists
in Aging (CIRS-A).
Many Ohioans on Medicare with limited income and resources may qualify for the LimitedIncome Subsidy (LIS), also called "Extra Help," and the Medicare Savings Program. LIS helps
seniors pay for their Medicare Part D premiums, annual deductible and coinsurance for
prescription drugs.
The Medicare Extra Help Program can save individuals an average of $325 per month on costs
associated with prescription drugs. In rural Ohio, many seniors are eligible for these programs,
but are not enrolled. AAA8 wants to help spread the word and help Ohios aging residents get
the help they need for prescriptions. There are many reasons that folks who are eligible do not
apply. Some simply dont know about the program or know how to apply. Many also assume
that they make too much and are not financially eligible. They should call AAA8 for details.
If you know someone that may qualify, please ask them to call us toll-free at 1-800-331-2644
and ask for the Screening Department. In a matter of minutes, the staff at The Area Agency on
Aging can assist them with a free, over-the-phone application.
PHOTO CUTLINE: Area Agency on Aging 8 (AAA8) counselors Brandi Hesson, CIRSA,(right) and Gerri VanNoy, SWA, CIRS-A (left), are available to help seniors with Medicare
questions.Call 1-800-331-2644 today.

Help Spread Happiness By Buying Fair Trade

Save the Date - June 14, 2014

Happy Artisans and Farmers make Happy Customers

Fair Trade gives you a chance to say NO to sweat shops
and child labor and to vote with your wallet for a happier
world!

Open House and Dedication at Bartley Preserve Circleville

Saturday, June 14th - 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

You may ask..WHAT IS FAIR TRADE and how can I

make a difference.
There are many answers to the question and all are
positive.
I think the most important are: vulnerable farmers and
artisans are paid fair pay and they enjoy good working
conditions, many times working in their homes. By
choosing Fair Trade, consumers support safe and healthy
working conditions for farmers and artisans and create just
economic opportunities for marginalized producers. There
are absolutely no sweat shops.
A second reason to shop Fair Trade is it protects children.
Local managers uphold childrens rights to security,
education, and play. There is no child labor. It creates
better lives for the children by ensuring that they are not
victims of forced labor and they have an education.
There are several places in the area to buy Fair Trade
items. One is the Gift Shop at the Hocking Hills Messenger
Print Shop.

Take this opportunity to visit AOAs newest preserve in

Pickaway County and hear about the restoration and
interpretation of this spectacular site.
Visit interpretive stations and learn about the natural,
historical and archaeological features as well as the heritage
of the site from our collaborative partners.
Free lunch will be provided

FREEfit Saturday Workouts to Return this Summer

Lancaster, Ohio - FREEfit Saturdays will once again be providing free weekly workouts

supply further exercise opportunities for those who are interested in new fitness options
or who cannot afford a gym membership.
After such a great turnout at the workouts last summer, our committee decided that

June 7: DC Fit
June 14: SWET
June 21: TrueFIT
June 28: CrossFit 740
July 5: Fit-4-Life
July 12: YMCA

Beginning June 7, 2014 and continuing every Saturday morning in June, July and
August, the workouts will be held at 9 a.m. at Rising Park in Lancaster. They will be led
by local gyms and instructors and will vary weekly, including such workouts as CrossFit,
zumba, bootcamp or yoga.

July 19: DC Fit

July 26: SWET
Aug 2: CrossFit 740
Aug 9: TrueFIT
Aug 16: Fit-4-Life
Aug 23: YMCA

Participants are asked to bring a good attitude and their own water. Additional
information, as well as cancelations due to weather, extenuating circumstances,
etc. can be found on Facebook at www.facebook.com/freefitsaturdays.
