Wood County Senior Center

Art Therapist Areka Foster Cost: $10

Children love to color and we

encourage them when they are

young. Around grade school,

we stop encouraging children

to color, so they will focus

more on schoolwork. By the

time we are adults, opening a

coloring book may seem strange, but studies have

shown that it is actually beneficial. Coloring helps

with stress relief, focus, creativity and

socialization. Please join us for a morning

of coloring for our health. Participants will pick

from a variety of images that can be colored and/or

watercolor painted. This no-fail type of art is fun,

relaxing, and social.

This group is designed for individuals with early-to

-moderate memory loss but all are welcome when

space is available.

Registration required. Space limited to 10

participants. Call 419.353.5661 or email

[email protected]

Tour the Maumee Bay Brewing Company that was

established in 1995 the Maumee Bay Brewing Co.

operates out of the Historic Oliver House creating

delightfully drinkable ales, lagers, porters, stouts and

the like. Though potentially best known for brewing

Toledo’s own Buckeye Beer, Maumee Bay Brewing

Co. is always concocting new surprises in the brew

house across the street from the main complex. Our

Brewers thrive on the history that is ever present in the

Warehouse District while still incorporating innovative

ideas to craft well balanced recipes and produce all of

your favorite brews.

Medicaid FACTS

Medicaid is a joint Federal/State program, established in 1965 that provides health insurance to eligible

low-income and medically vulnerable populations. Medicaid provides a safety net for specific populations

that might otherwise have difficulty obtaining coverage.

To be eligible for Federal funds, states are required to provide coverage to

certain groups of individuals and can choose to extend coverage to other

categorically needy groups. For example, all states are required to cover children

under age six and pregnant women at or below 133 percent of the federal poverty

level and may opt to provide Medicaid coverage for institutionalized individuals

with income and resources below specified limits.

While there are over 25 different categories for which Federal funds are

available, these groups are often classified into two broad groups: Covered

families and children and the aged, blind and disabled population.

Passage of Federal Healthcare Reform legislation provides states with the option of expanding

Medicaid eligibility to cover Ohio residents with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level. Ohio

recently took advantage of this option for the Ohio Medicaid program.

For the elderly population, Ohio’s Medicaid program provides access to many medically necessary

services, such as doctor visits, hospital care, nursing home care, prescriptions, and Passport services in the

home. Ohio Medicaid eligibility is determined based on several factors. Different income limits apply in

each category to determine eligibility for Ohio Medicaid. You can apply for Medicaid even if you think your

income is above the eligibility guidelines. Certain expenses may be deducted from family income to

determine eligibility. There is no penalty for making an application if you are above the income limit and

determined to be ineligible. In Wood County, you can contact the following agency for Medicaid

applications: Wood County Department of Job and Family Services, 1928 East Gypsy Lane Road, Bowling

Green, Ohio 43402, 419-352-7566.

For more information about the Ohio Medicaid program, attend a ―Medicaid Facts‖ session at your

area senior center offered during the month of June. Check ―Your County Connection‖ newsletter for dates

and times. All sessions are free and open to the public.

Help

Wanted: The WCCOA is

seeking your help to

tend to a garden! The WCCOA would like to pair up with

The Common Good of the UCF, a local non-profit

organization located in Bowling Green, Ohio. For

the past 10 years, they have cultivated a program

called the BG Community Gardens. They organize

and work two community gardens in town. This

year they were lucky to receive a grant from an

organization, in which they are receiving assistance

in growing and improving the gardens.

From this opportunity, they are starting a

new project that looks to offer a few garden plots to

local Bowling Green organizations. These

organizations will be able to utilize garden space,

seeds, water, and tools, all for free! It is our hope

to work with them and find some community

members to tend to the garden. All of the produce

will be distributed back to the older adults in the

community.

Are you willing to plant the seed of change

and make a difference this summer? Contact the

Programs Department for more information

419.353.5661 or email [email protected]

Here we are in the heart of the summer months --

lemonade and iced tea, porch swings, and summer

breezes -- anyone need something to do with their time?

Volunteers are the heart of every of every organization,

and WCCOA is no different!

This past April, the Agency celebrated the over

20,000 volunteer hours at a dinner with entertainment.

Over 20,000 hours -- or the equivalent of 10.5 full time

employees -- performing services like delivering a hot

nutritious meal once a week, Monday through Friday;

serving a hot, nutritious meal at one of the Agency’s

seven (7) area senior sites; teaching a craft or hosting a

program; working in the Gift Shop or helping with the

Rummage Sales; light data entry; counting the daily

receipts, or saying grace at ―their‖ site! We would not

be able to touch the lives of as many clients as we do at

any given time without your assistance. Our volunteers

are truly the life-blood of this Agency!

There is a current and ongoing need for

volunteers in many of the capacities stated above,

specifically in the North Baltimore and Wayne

locations. If you, a family member, or a neighbor can

offer to assist in any of these capacities just one (1) hour

a week at either of these sites -- or any of the other sites

-- give me a call or stop in to talk with the Site

Manager! We are not difficult to find! Call

419.353.5661, Ext. 1005; 1.800.367.4935; or e-mail me

at [email protected] .
