Let Nature help you achieve your wellness goals
this summer… no matter what your abilities are
By Erin Wells
Community Resources Manager
Some of us think of spending quality time with
Mother Nature as an opportunity to be a constant
snack for mosquitoes along with heat, sunburns and
dirt. Others think of the outdoors as an essential
experience to meet their goal of wellbeing. Spending
time with nature can be a way to connect with family
and friends. Just being outdoors, whether relaxing
or doing an activity can be both energizing and
calming. Nature can also provide a quiet place to
connect or reconnect with your spirituality. Imagine
the challenges you might experience if you wanted
to enjoy the outdoors but had different abilities.
Maybe you need wheelchair accessible
environments. Perhaps you need an outlet for your
medical equipment. Possibly you need a hospital
bed to comfortably accommodate you during the
night or you need a lift to get in and out of bed.
Maybe you loved spending time at the beach,
camping, hunting, kayaking or skiing but an accident
or illness changed how you can use your body.
Or just maybe you never thought you’d have the
opportunity to try any of these activities because of
an illness, condition or disability.
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
has those needs in mind as they continue to build a
more inclusive and welcoming State Park System.
Accessible cabins have been designed for those
needing alternative options to be able to enjoy the
parks. The Park System has 10 accessible cabins
located throughout Wisconsin and they are reserved
4
for individuals with disabilities and their guests. The
cabins must be reserved ahead of time and preplanning is a must with a limited number of cabins
available. The Park System even has two rustic
cabins available for individuals with disabilities.
The cabins are located at 8 of our beautiful State
Parks: Buckhorn, Harrington Beach, High Cliff, Kettle
Moraine, Kohler-Andrae, Mirror Lake, Potawatomi
and Richard Bong Recreation Area.
If camping doesn’t suit you but you would still like to
enjoy a day at the state parks look into accessible
trails or rent an adapted kayak. According to the
Department of Natural Resources, “Wisconsin state
parks, forests and trails have more than 650 miles
of trails that are accessible to wheelchair users and
others with mobility impairments.” The DNR also
makes adapted kayaks available at some of the
state parks (Buckhorn, Council Grounds, Devil’s
Lake, Mirror Lake, and Perrot). An accessible kayak
can be rented from the parks by the day.
The Department of Natural Resources has other
options for individual of all abilities that want to
connect to the “great outdoors.” Every fishing pier
that is built by the DNR has to be accessible and
designed to accommodate wheelchairs: wide
enough to turn around, lower railings and rod
holders. The DNR also has accessible beaches at
various State Parks. In the winter months, adapted
cross country skiing equipment and gentle, well
groomed trails can be found at a handful of the State
Parks. Hunting opportunities and accessible wildlife
blinds are located throughout the state at various
State Parks.
Also, if you are interested in accessing the outdoors
no matter your ability, research some of the other
agencies and organizations that are working to
connect and/or educate about opportunities to
connect individuals with disabilities to the outdoors:

the outdoors and let Mother Nature help you achieve
wellness in many areas of your life.

Caregiver
Connection
DRIVING&
AGING
Driving is a critical issue for seniors. Not only
are many older drivers at a higher risk for road
accidents, people over 65 are more likely to be
seriously hurt in a vehicle accident. Many caregivers
are concerned about their older loved one taking
the wheel but have a difficult time approaching this
sensitive subject.
Many seniors continue to be good, safe drivers
as they age, but there are normal changes that
can affect driving skills. As joints get stiff, muscles
weaken and reflexes are slowed it is more difficult to
turn your head to look back, steer quickly or safely
hit the breaks. Eyesight and vision changes also
can affect safe driving. Medical conditions such as
Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, arthritis and strokes may
also affect driving as well as the medications taken
to combat these and other illnesses.
Being able to drive is more than just getting
where you want to go. It is a symbol of freedom,
independence and self-sufficiency. But there may be
a time when driving is no longer safe. How does one
go about taking this privilege away from the person
they love?
It is important to know the warning signs of unsafe
driving. (Look at the driving behaviors over a period
of time, not just one trip.)
6
• Abrupt lane changes, braking or accelerating
• Trouble navigating turns
• Drifts into other lanes
• Confusion at exits
• Near misses
• Confusing brake and gas pedals
• Delayed responses to unexpected situations
• Failure to observe traffic signs
• Increased agitation or irritation while driving
• Driving at inappropriate speeds
• Fails to pay attention to signs, signals or pedestrians
If you notice any of these warning signs it is time
to initiate change. Start by scheduling a driving
evaluation through the local DMV and/or refresher
driving lessons. Try finding ways to reduce the
amount of driving by ordering things through the
mail, using public transportation or finding others
to give rides when able. Having friends and family
members stop by on a regular basis to offer help
with errands, etc. is another good approach.
When it is clear that driving is no longer safe at
all, start slowly and respectfully in persuading the
person to give up his/her keys. Talk about safety –
theirs and others on the road. Talk about options for
getting around (public transportation, friends, family,
taxi) - hopefully some of these are already in place.
Emphasize the cost savings associated with giving
up a car: gas, insurance, repairs, fees, etc. The
money saved can be used to pay for taxis or other
transportation services. Use the confirmation of
family, friends and physician to back up your concern
for the person’s safety. Plan to visit the person
weekly at a designated time to assist with things
like shopping and appointments. Also be sure that
transportation is available to meet their social needs
as well.
If the person refuses to quit driving, it may be
necessary to take away the car keys, disable the car
or remove it from their residence. A physician can
write a prescription stating “no driving” and/or a local
police officer could explain the importance of safe
driving and the legal implications of unsafe driving.
Do not jeopardize the safety of your loved one or
others by ignoring the issue of unsafe driving.

PREVENTION JUST MAKES SENSE
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”
– B. Franklin
We hear the word prevention a lot these days in
regards to health care, but what does prevention
really mean?
What might come to mind first is the old saying, “An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” yet it
seems our health care system tends to focus more
on treating disease. Prevention, on the other hand,
focuses on sustaining good health, encouraging
people to become active participants in maintaining
their own health.
14
In 2011 Medicare began to change the way they
offer health care by including a large number of
preventive tests and screenings to their list of
covered services. Over the past five years, that list
has continued to grow. Things like cardiovascular
disease screenings, bone mass measurements,
mammograms and cancer screenings are now
covered without a co-payment or deductible.
A complete list of covered preventive services
is available online at www.medicare.gov or at
Aging and Disability Resource Center of Central
Wisconsin, 1-888-486-9545. You can use this
list to talk to your doctor about which preventive
screenings are right for you.
Medicare offers preventive services with the goal
that everyone enrolled in Medicare use these
benefits. Preventive care doesn’t only improve one’s
own physical health, it is also an important step in
reducing the cost of health care. The financial costs
of treating chronic diseases like heart disease,
cancer and diabetes are enormous. Add in the
intangible costs of pain and suffering, and the
very real economic costs of lost productivity, and
the opportunity costs of chronic illness are simply
unacceptable.
Focusing on prevention also makes sense because
it places the emphasis on treating the whole person
instead of a condition or disease. When we help
people take better care of their health, everyone in
the community benefits. If we wait to pay for care as
illness progresses, the price of health care for the
country will continue to rise.
Prevention just makes sense.

WALKING THROUGH THE MAZE
MEDICARE BASICS CLASSES
Sometimes we need to use medical equipment
(walkers, rollators, and scooters) to access our
surroundings. It can feel like navigating through
a maze. We need to keep in mind the safety
of ourselves and others when using medical
equipment. We need to be aware of how these
devices can impact our surroundings and how it
might be difficult for someone to navigate the space
around them.
If you are new to Medicare, or will be soon, consider
attending our Medicare basics class.
