Be There 4 Seniors Rally Happens Despite a
Rainy Day
On February 9, 2015 Fayette Senior Services,
Inc. (FSS) took part in the Be There 4 Seniors Rally at
Liberty Plaza across from our Georgia State Capitol. Why a rally for Seniors? Each year Home and
Community based support services are part of the
proposed budget reductions in government aging
programs. Each year thousands of seniors are in
need of Home and Community Based Services that
are critical to promoting independence, reducing the number of people on wait lists for in home
services(over 13,000 statewide currently), support
for their caregivers, as well as protecting the vulnerable. Skilled care facilities, like nursing homes costs
the state four times more per year than the costs of
helping one person remain at home.
The Be There 4 Seniors Rally, though dampened by rain storms, did not keep FSS and other
Senior Center facilities from being there to show
their concern over decreases in funding for services
that would affect seniors and the disabled. With
close to 250 people in attendance, chants like
“Wait No More” “Ten Million More” and “In-Home
Services Cost Less” could be heard throughout the
rally as people, largely seniors, stood in the rain for
a chance to be heard and seen in a cause that hits
home for so many.
“Let’s face it, we are all aging, but
will we be able to age gracefully?”
- Marie Doyle, Care Manger Supervisor with FSS
Four recipients of services provided by FSS
took a bus with a few staff members and volunteers
to rally against proposed budget cuts and rally for
increased funding in government aging programs.
All were eager to attend and as one senior explained; Fayette Senior Services has done so much
for her through supportive services that attending
the rally gives her the chance to help all Seniors like
her who need help to remain in their home. Each
one agreed that the services they have received
have helped them beyond measure. Whether it is
through in-home services, meals on wheels, transportation or an opportunity to join others socially
and nutritionally outside the home, it seems many
would be unable to remain at home without these
supportive services.
After multiple years of budget funding cuts
we need to look to the Legislators to invest in supportive services for our Seniors and caregivers.
Evidence supports that these services are cost effective and how important it is to provide a path
to home care services where people can find the
support, love and care they need to age in place.
Seniors want the Legislators to recognize the increased requirements for funding and life-sustaining
services for older Georgians.
770-461-0813 | FAYSS.ORG
Fayette Senior Services supports Georgia’s efforts
on behalf of our Seniors and are committed to supporting services that help seniors age well and live
well in their homes. Please contact 770-461-0813
to find out more information on how you can help.
Imagine what a difference these services could
make to each of us as we age, as long as funding
stays available. Be a voice for seniors!

ABOUT US
Since 1978, Fayette Senior Services, Inc., (FSS) an independent, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization, has been providing a wide array of life -enriching services to Fayette County residents age 50 and better. Fayette
County, Georgia, is home to one of the fastest growing senior populations
in metro Atlanta – and the age 60+ population segment is projected to grow
an astonishing 450% by 2040. This statistic alone makes our mission — to
make a meaningful difference in the emotional, social, and physical wellbeing of older adults — all the more critical. By fostering independence,
improving quality of life, and enhancing the community connection, the
programs and services we provide are an essential part of our community.
Not-for-profit FSS enjoys a unique public/private partnership with Fayette County government. Through this agreement we provide a variety of
supportive services such as Meals On Wheels, Transportation, In-home
Personal Care/ Homemaker Services, Care Management, Information Assistance, and more. We could not do that without our government partners;
however, we believe it is our responsibility to complement the public support to ensure we can continue serving Fayette’s seniors for generations
to come. Therefore, we feel it’s important to note that less than half of our
revenue comes from sources other than federal, state, and local governments.
Fayette Senior Services is recognized as a model of sustainability and
social entrepreneurship among peer organizations and nongovernment
funders. Although we are proud of this recognition, we could not do all
that we do without the support from charitable donors, Center members,
volunteers, grantees, and the community that so generously supports our
fundraising efforts.
The aging transition can be paved with a broad spectrum of challenges.
However, it can also prove to be rich with opportunities. The key to “aging well” is knowledge. When it comes to addressing those unique needs,
Fayette Senior Services Life Enrichment Center is the one-stop shop for
empowering older adults to live well and age well.
Our Life Enrichment Center in Fayetteville is uniquely different from traditional senior centers. Our beautiful facility is a vibrant place where adults
age 50+ come to socialize with friends, enjoy a great meal in our Ultimate
café, re-energize their bodies, exercise their minds, and lift their spirits.
To make sure our programs and activities are within easy reach to more
seniors, we are proud to have established a community partnership with
the city of Peachtree City. We now offer many new programs and activities
in Peachtree City at the Gathering Place (next to “The Fred” Amphitheater)
and at our newest facility, McIntosh Place. We’re adding new classes and
activities each month during our expansion to PTC, so stay tuned for more!

When You Need a Little Help From Some Friends...
We offer supportive services that make a meaningful
difference in the emotional, social, and physical wellbeing of older adults by preserving their independence, improving their quality of life, and connecting
them to the community.
Meals On Wheels
Meals on Wheels is a needs-based program for
homebound, or semi-homebound, seniors who are
unable to provide themselves with regular nutritious
meals due to physical or financial challenges. The
service also connects homebound seniors to the community through daily social contact, which also helps
to ensure their well-being.
Ani-Meals
To many homebound seniors, having a pet is a
source of companionship and comfort. The AniMeals™ program is designed to give our Meals On
Wheels clients a little help with the cost of pet food to
make sure that maintaining that important bond isn’t
an added burden.
STAR Program
(Seniors Together After Retirement)
Our STAR program (Seniors Together After Retirement) offers individuals 60 and older an opportunity to
come together for socialization, recreational activities,
health and wellness classes, and a nutritious meal
in our Ultimate Cafe. Transportation to and from the
Center may also be available to eligible participants.
Transportation
For older adults who no longer drive, getting to essential medical appointments, to the pharmacy, to
church, or to the grocery store can be a challenge,
putting their health and well-being at risk. We provide
safe and affordable door-to-door transportation options. Wheelchair assistance available.
Information & Assistance
Our certified Information & Assistance Specialists
are the gateway to connecting older adults with the
right community resources or providing information to
address their specific needs.
In-Home Personal Care/Homemaker Services
This service enables older adults to remain living
independently by providing compassionate care from
trained personnel who perform simple homemaker
and/or personal care tasks, such as light housekeeping or assistance with bathing. Delivered with the
utmost personal respect and dignity, our services can
also bring much needed respite to caregivers.
Care Management
Our professional staff of social workers helps older
adults make informed decisions to enhance independent living and quality of life. Our Care Managers offer
consultations, assessments, and follow-up to assist
individuals and families in planning and care. We also
provide invaluable support to caregivers.
Adult Day Care
We contract with a trusted and licensed local provider of adult daycare services that offers a caring
environment focused on the individual’s physical and
emotional well-being, as well as social and recreational activities. Transportation is available.
Medical Equipment Lending
We lend gently-used medical equipment to individuals, families, and caregivers. Equipment is loaned on
a first-come first served basis.
Home Repair Services
Our Tool Team helps older adults who are either
physically and/or financially unable to perform minor,
routine home maintenance tasks and repairs. The
Tool Team also specializes in disability additions,
such as grab bars.
Eligibility requirements apply for some programs. Some services may be provided free of charge (tax deductible donations welcome) or based on a sliding scale of income. Contact us at 770-461-0813 for more information.

Get to know Meals On Wheels volunteer Pat Smith.
By: Pamela Pruitt
Eagles Landing Country Club, she didn’t want to do it.
“I thought to myself, I can’t do that. I could never do
something like that.” But Pat did agree even though
she was apprehensive about taking the position. “I
look back now and realize that the Lord was preparing
me. I believe that God prepares us for what he has
called us to do.”
Pat was born and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia.
She was on the Drill Team for three years and ran
track at Therrell High School. She met her husband
David during her senior year. David had transferred
there from another school and couldn’t transfer his
rank (ROTC), so he decided to join the chorus instead. Pat and David were extras in the high school
musical “Camelot” and what began as a friendship
soon turned into a wonderful, loving, forty year marriage with three children and 6 grandchildren.
After high school, Pat worked for five years at
Bailey Banks and Biddle Jewelers as a bookkeeper
until they started their family. She put up the spreadsheets and ledgers at Bailey’s and became a full time
homemaker, raising the kids and taking care of David.
During the time the children were enrolled at Greater
Atlanta Christian School, she worked at the school as
a paraprofessional for 1st grade and kindergarten as
well as helped out in the school library.
When a lady approached Pat about volunteering to be
one of the coordinators for the LPGA Tournament at
At church Pat loved singing in the choir, but
they needed helpers in the nursery, so she felt led to
volunteer and found such joy spending time with the
babies and toddlers. “It just seemed to come natural
to me. I had this ability to calm them and get them
focused on something while the parents slipped out
of the nursery to attend church. I was soon nicknamed
“The Baby Whisperer.” This act of obedience to work
in the nursery brought with it the position of coordinator of the nursery on Sunday mornings. Eight years
later she is still as passionate about it as ever.
“It’s really funny how the Lord has such a
sense of humor. I hate to clean. I mean, I really hate
to clean! But in the nursery there is a lot of cleaning
that has to be done. So I decided that if I had to get
down on all fours and clean toys and what not, I could
pray while doing so. I began to pray for the babies and
toddlers, their parents and the teachers. It was such
a joyful experience that I found myself forgetting that
I was cleaning, and hated to clean,” Pat chuckled.
Now Pat enjoys spending time with her mom,
Allene Roan, and her mother-in-law, Virginia Smith
(a MOW volunteer for 24 years), who are so near
and dear to her heart. Since her father-in-law passed
away, Pat assists Virginia on her MOW’s route and
with any other tasks that are needed and helps out
cleaning (see the Lord’s humor?) the house for her
mother. “Sometimes the thing we hate most in the
beginning [cleaning], ends up bringing the most joy.

Fitness Corner with Miriam
Question:
My entire life I’ve always been able to maintain a
healthy weight through proper diet and portion control. Since I don’t have unhealthy weight issues, do I
still need to exercise?
Answer:
Absolutely! The benefits of exercise far surpass just
weight control. The most important muscle in your body,
the heart, functions more efficiently with at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity every day. This will give
you the strong foundation you need to maintain an even
healthier lifestyle. Also, the body was designed to move
and regular physical activity is essential for improved
range of motion as well as mobility. In other words, if you
don’t move it - you lose it.

Ask the Elder Law Attorney
Robert M. Goldberg
West Point, 1982; University of Michigan Law School, 1990; Member of the National
Academy of Elder Law Attorneys & Accredited Veterans Administration Attorney
Medicaid applicant with too much income needs “QIT” to qualify for benefits
Question: I’m thinking about Medicaid planning for my elderly mother. She has dementia and cannot care for herself anymore.
Can she keep her income or will the nursing home take it? She gets $2,350 a month from Social Security and her pension.
Answer: Social Security and all other income is considered when applying for Medicaid. The maximum monthly income permitted
in 2015 is $2,199. But, your mother can still qualify if her income in excess of $2,199 is placed in a properly drafted and administered Qualified Income Trust (“QIT”), which is also known as a “Miller” Trust.
Except for $50 she is allowed to keep as her Personal Needs Allowance, a deduction allowed for her health insurance premiums,
and any allowable income her husband may be entitled to, her remaining income is considered her “Patient Liability Cost Share”
which must be paid to the nursing home.
An experienced Elder Law Attorney can create a QIT and advise you in greater detail. Many factors should be evaluated by the
attorney who can start laying the groundwork before you are faced with a crisis.
To learn more, please attend one of our workshops at the Broadway Diner at 8 am on the
3rd Tuesday of the month or the Loft at Due South on the 3rd Thursday, from 2 – 4 pm or
6 – 8 pm.
