Lake Oswego Adult Community Center
Change in Medicare Medical Equipment
This summer changes to how people get certain medical equipment will go into effect. These changes only apply to
people with original Medicare (not Medicare Advantage Plus plans) who buy or rent certain medical items such as oxygen
equipment, standard wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, or diabetic supplies.
Beginning July 2013, original Medicare recipients will need to rent or purchase equipment from an approved supplier. These
suppliers are pre-approved by Medicare. To find an approved supplier, contact 1-800-MEDICARE or go to the website at
www.medicare.gov.
Prefer to meet with a State Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance (SHIBA) representative? The ACC can make an
appointment for you by calling us at 503-635-3758. You will meet one-on-one with a SHIBA volunteer in a confidential
setting at the Center. The SHIBA volunteer will help you locate an approved supplier.
Examples of equipment involved:
Did you know that the ACC has
free loans on certain types of
medical equipment? This includes
wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs,
and more!
•
Oxygen, oxygen equipment and supplies
•
Hospital beds and related accessories
•
Walkers and related accessories
•
Standard wheelchairs (power and manual), scooters and accessories
•
Enteral nutrients, equipment and supplies
•
CPAP and respiratory assist devices and related supplies
It’s All in the Word
Is 'Elderly' no longer an acceptable word for older
people?
Give the ACC a call at 503-635-3758
and let us help you.
Membership & Participation
While membership is not required to participate in most programs, Adult Community
Center members do receive priority registration, discounted fees and complimentary
event tickets. Memberships for residents of Lake Oswego are: $40 single or $55 per
couple per year. For non-residents, the cost is $50 single or $75 per couple per year.
For more information, please call 503-635-3758.
Memorial for Rose Ann
Freeman
A celebration of the life of Rose Ann Freeman, registrar at the Adult Community
Center for 14 years, will be held on July 18 at 3 p.m. at the ACC. This date marks
the six-month anniversary of her death, and a time for all the people who cared for
her to share reminiscences and thoughts. There will be a dedication of the new
bench, plaque and rose garden in her honor. Light refreshments will be served.
Please call the Center at 503-635-3758 if you plan to attend.
Words to describe elderly people such as “codger”, “fogey” and even “elderly”
should be banned from media reporting, ageism campaigners are urging.
Do terms like this matter when referring to a person’s age? According to a media
relations guide written by the think tank International Longevity Center, words like
“elderly,” “senior,” “fossil,” and “biddy” should be avoided in journalism in favor of terms
that do not discriminate against people of a certain age. They suggest people aged over
50 should be referred to as “older people” or simply “man” or “woman” followed by
their age.
This also means “Old ladies” of both the “little” and “sweet” variety should be
studiously avoided.
The authors of the report state that 80% of older Americans have been subjected
to ageist stereotypes.
"While names and characterizations may vary, the message is the same: older men
and women are incompetent and lack sufficiency," the guide states. "After all, we
don't refer to people under 50 as 'junior citizens.'”
In a preface to the report, Robert Butler, president of the International Longevity
Center, described the guide as "an important step in overcoming ageist language
and beliefs."
