Ways for Seniors to
Keeping the minds and social connections
of our senior loved ones active is every bit as im-
portant to as caring for their physical wellbeing.
Senior citizens dont have to slow down or stop
feeling young at heart just because they are older.
As a caregiver, there are many fun, low cost and
even free activities you can help your senior get
involved with so that he or she can enjoy being
socially engaged all year round.
The Golden Years can be a time full of interesting
places to go and things to do. Now that your sen-
ior isnt tethered to making a livelihood or manag-
ing a household like their younger counterparts,
they can experience the joy of learning and doing
new activities, developing hobbies and managing
a social calendar of encounters with friends old
and new as they explore and discover their inter-
ests.
Bloom where youre planted, is an appropriate
adage. Seniors can make connections with like-
minded people of all ages or find activities geared
just for elder adults practically right in their own
back yard. Whether its exploring local neighbor-
hoods, visiting a museum, taking part in a health
fair, signing up for a course at a local adult educa-
tion center, an area college or university, opportu-
nities abound. Local libraries, and the parks and
recreation centers offer activities both indoors and
out. Your senior can take up everything from
painting and pottery to hiking, cycling or bird
watching. Local Y programs and senior centers
also offer new learning and recreational programs
and often include group activities like bingo,
dances, potluck dinners and bus trips to sites of
interest as well.
Dont forget about local churches, temples and
synagogues. Sharing faith experiences with others
are good for the soul and social interaction. May
religious organizations offer experiences like re-
treats or opportunities to take part in weekly wor-
ship services. You senior may have musical tal-
ents or choral interests that he or she can offer the
community, too.
Volunteering for charity or in the local commu-
nity is also a great way for seniors to stay active
and involved. Everywhere you look there is need
for service. The energy, vibrancy, skills and tal-
ents of seniors in our society is valuable and
needed. The wisdom and knowledge they have are
key ingredients to the success of efforts through-
out local neighborhoods. From helping feed the
hungry in their city, to tutoring students struggling
with reading or math, working in a local hospital,
teaching music in schools without funding, or
helping to house the homeless. Local civic, arts
and cultural organizations would also relish the
contribution your senior could make.
Still looking for other ideas? Here are some web-
sites that offer even more alternatives:
1. Love to Know: Lists activities for seniors
that are independent and can do activities on their
own, and also a small list of activities for those
seniors in nursing homes.
2. Excellent Senior Activities: A compre-
hensive list of activities for social seniors who
like to do group activities.
3. Seniors-site: Activities for those seniors that
are in nursing homes and cannot get outdoors.
4. Seniorark: A site with a list of 57 hobbies
that a senior can do and may enjoy, including in-
door and outdoor activities.
5. Boomers With Parents: Geared towards
adult children and how to create activities for
your elderly parents to keep them fit and active.

SOCIAL SECURITY COLUMN
By Ray Vigil Social Security Public Affairs Specialist in El Paso, Texas
IN THE AFTERMATH OF DISASTER, SOCIAL
SECURITY CAN HELP
For some, recent years have been made difficult
by natural disasters. Fatal tornadoes in Okla-
homa. Massive wildfires and strong earthquakes
in Colorado and California. Landslides in Wash-
ington. Flooding in Texas, North Carolina and
Florida. Hail storms in Tennessee. Hurricane
Sandy along the Eastern seaboard. And now, we
brace ourselves for yet another hurricane season.
In addition to the catastrophes caused by Mother
Nature, there are man-made tragedies, such as
the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado that
killed 12 and injured 58; the Sandy Hook Ele-
mentary School massacre in Newtown, Con-
necticut , which left 26 children and staff
members dead; and the Boston Marathon explo-
sions, killing three and injuring more than 260.
When disasters strike, despite the immediate re-
sponse by so many well-intentioned people and
organizations, its often hard to know where to
turn. But when it comes to the need for disability
and survivors benefits, Social Security is always
here to serve those who require our services.
Dependent survivors of wage earners, such as
spouses, minor children, and in some cases par-
ents or grandchildren, may be eligible for sur-
vivor benefits when the familys provider dies.
The sad fact is that about one in eight of todays
20 year-old workers will die before reaching age
67. The good news is about 96 percent of people
age 20 to 49 who work have survivors insurance
protection if they die and leave behind young
children and surviving spouses.
Social Security is here to help people inflicted
with disabling conditions as well. In fact, dis-
abled workers account for about 19 percent of all
Social Security benefits paid. One in four of
todays 20 year-old workers will become dis-
abled before reaching age 67.
Our emergency services reach more than the
limited numbers of people who die or become
disabled as a result of a tragedy. For example, if
you are still receiving a paper check and the de-
livery of mail is interrupted due to severe
weather, in many cases any Social Security of-
fice can issue an immediate replacement pay-
ment. To avoid this situation, however, switch to
electronic payments as required by law. Even if
your mailbox or home is destroyed due to
an emergency, or you are evacuated or displaced,
your payment will always arrive on time every
time if you receive it electronically.
Sometimes, emergencies cause Social Security
offices to close. If you want to check whether
your local office is open, the best place to go is
to Social Securitys Office Closings And Emer-
gency Information page at
www.socialsecurity.gov/emergency. This site is
a great place to visit before you try to go to an
office, especially when severe weather is affect-
ing your area.
The emergency page also offers valuable FEMA
advice that can help you prepare for or cope with
emergency situations.
While we all hope and pray to avoid disasters,
unfortunately, they are bound to occur. The best
we can do is to be as prepared as possible to deal
with them if they happen. And know that Social
Security will be here for you when you need it.
Be prepared. Visit

The Importance of
Staying Hydrated
By Sandi Smith, CSA President
Comfort Keepers in
El Paso &
Las Cruces
Because more
than sixty percent of the
human body is made up
of water, staying hy-
drated is important to
keep our bodies func-
tioning properly. As
adults, we lose more
than eighty ounces of
water daily just through
normal activity. Elderly
adults are among the
most at risk groups for
dehydration, one of the most frequent causes of
hospitalization after age 65. Because of the po-
tentially serious consequences of this condition
to seniors, as a caregiver its important to recog-
nize the causes and symptoms of dehydration as
well as how you can help your loved one stay
properly hydrated.
As a natural part of the aging process, our bodies
undergo physiological changes that increase our
risk of becoming dehydrated. With advancing
years, seniors can lose their sense of thirst and
tend not to drink enough. Age slows down our
metabolic rate and we need fewer calories. We
are not generally as physically active as we once
were, either. Our appetites decrease, we eat less
food and as a result get less fluids from solid
food sources, too, problematic for the elderly
since almost everyone gets about half their daily
water requirement from solid foods and fruit and
vegetable juices.
In addition, our fluid balance can be affected by
medication, emotional stress, exercise, general
health, and the weather.

Continued from page 4
Many seniors have chronic
health problems such as diabetes,
high blood pressure, and heart dis-
ease, and may take medications that
can make them more susceptible to
dehydration. Our aging bodies also
lose some natural ability to regulate
temperature making seniors more
susceptible to temperature changes
in the environment. One such change
is that the subcutaneous layer of fat
beneath the skin, which acts as a nat-
ural insulation to heat and cold,
dwindles. Also because seniors per-
spire less, its harder for them to
keep cool which also increases their
risk of becoming overheated. The
two most serious conditions for sen-
iors that result from heat and expo-
sure to high temperatures are heat
exhaustion and heat stroke, both
which primarily result from dehydra-
tion.
Dehydration is caused by loss of
salts and water in our bodies due to
severe sweating, extreme heat, vom-
iting, diarrhea and certain medica-
tions. Severe dehydration can
become life threatening to the eld-
erly because there is no longer
enough fluid in the body to carry
blood to the organs. Signs and
symptoms of dehydration, like those
of many other treatable health con-
ditions, can be virtually identical to
senile dementia symptoms, and
Alzheimers symptoms. The most
common signs and symptoms of de-
hydration include persistent fatigue,
lethargy, muscle weakness or
cramps, headaches, dizziness, nau-
sea, forgetfulness, confusion, deep
rapid breathing, or an increased
heart rate. Other less common signs
and symptoms of dehydration can
include:
Excessive loss of fluid through
vomiting, urinating, stools or sweat-
ing
Poor intake of fluids, "can't keep
anything down"
Sunken eyes
Dry or sticky mucous membranes
in the mouth
Skin that lacks its normal elasticity
and sags back into position slowly
when pinched up into a fold
Decreased or absent urine output
Decreased tears
If your senior loved one has any of
these symptoms, and they are per-
sistent for 2 to 3 days, call a doctor
immediately or go to a hospital
emergency room. If left untreated,
dehydration can quickly cause se-
vere problems, even death.
The most important way to prevent
dehydration in elderly adults is to
make sure they are drinking enough
liquid. Seniors and all adults should
drink at least 64 ounces of fluids
such as water or non-caffeinated
beverages daily. Caffeinated bever-
ages cause frequent urination and
promote dehydration. Water can also
be found in many fruits and vegeta-
bles, so including them as part of a
nutritionally sound daily diet will
help with staying hydrated as well.
Include fruits like melons, berries,
apples, oranges and peaches. Vegeta-
bles such as lettuce, cucumbers, cel-
ery and cauliflower are also good.
Keep water readily available, espe-
cially if you are caring for a senior
citizen with mobility problems. If
the taste of water is bothersome, try
using powdered drink mixes that fla-
vor the water, but do not add any ex-
cess sugar.
Correcting dehydration can allow an
older person to return to a full and
normal life. But regarding hydration
and your senior loved one, as the old
adage goes, an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.

orologist at KVIA-TV in El Paso. You can
watch his forecasts at 4, 5, 6 and 10 pm on

Weather Trivia:
Some of you have stopped me on the street
asking if our monsoon will be a dud or not.
Its still not looking that great although its
better than what was forecast four months
ago. The Climate Prediction Center issues
the long range forecast tweaking it from time
to time as new data comes out. The lat-
est prediction is listed below for the
United States.
The models are indicating that for
August, September and October the El
Paso area is expected to see above nor-
mal temperatures to continue. In fact
most of the southwest will experience
above normal temperatures. There are
no regions of the country where tem-
peratures are expected to be below nor-
mal.
There is some uncertainty when it
comes to rainfall. The CPC is giving us
an equal chance of seeing above nor-
mal, normal or below normal rain
chances. Dont forgot, this is our mon-
soon season so we typically see most
of our rain this time of year! Portions
of New Mexico and Arizona are the
hot spots when it comes to predicted
rainfall. The Deep South and the
southeast are expected to witness
above normal rainfall as well along
with all that humidity.
