Crystal Lake-Woodstock By Carl Riblet Jr. Q. - "What makes one retirement home or nursing home, whichever, more successful or desirable than another? I know that the management of such places plays a large role, but do design, amenities such as gardens, music and other activities, and interaction between the home and the outside community play a very big role? What makes a good one? What should I look for when studying sites?" - O.S.T. A. - O.S.T. could visit nursing homes and retirement centers in the big city where he lives. He will learn, after a few visits and inspections, the answers to most of his questions. Here following is a letter from Dorothy Flink, ad­ ministrative assistant at the Clackamas County (Oregon) Senior Citizen Council on the subject of nursing and residential facilities: "Our council published a directory of nursing homes and care facilities in this area. In it are listed every licensed nursing home and a profile of that home. The text of the booklet also advises on alternate care, patients' Bill of Rights, the layman's summary of state laws on nursing homes and, most important, a checklist of what to note when visiting nursing homes. People can also write to the U.S. Department of Health and Welfare, Washington, D C., for its booklet "How To Select A Nursing Home." Q. -- For chronically ailing, older persons who live alone, is there any alternative to nursing homes?" - D.G. A. -- Yes. Home health care is helping millions of elders to strive for better health in the comfort of their own homes at less expense than they would have at health centers. Home care agencies offer a variety of sophisticated services that range from registered nurses and nursing aides, to homemaker companions who assist with personal care and light housekeeping. Physical and occupational therapy can also be arranged for at home. Home health care personnel are supervised by field managers.

Q. - "We senior citizens are sometimes laughed at for longing for the good old days, when there were horses and buggies and more farms and not so many problems and when freedom rang! Now we have too much machinery, too many automobiles, too much radio and too much television, too much leisure and en­ tertainment, and too much pressure of advertising. I say -- stop the world! Most of us would like to get off. Especially those of us who can comprehend the sim­ plicity of those good old days." - Frank P. A. - Perhaps so. There are always people who want to get off, but Frank should pause a moment and think about the medical advances that have made the modern world so good for most of us. A woman who enjoys life with insulin to counteract the disease of diabetes is most likely to prefer today to 1910. A man who can chomp nicely into an apple with his 1960 dentures would not like to use the store teeth of 1915 that clacked and slid and rocked so that they had to be removed at meal time so he could smack his gums over a repast of soft foods. While the horse and buggy were just dandy for those who didn't mind currying the horse and harnessing it to the buggy, just imagine the mess that horses made of boulevards when it rained. The street cleaners, called "white wings" in those days, couldn't sweep it up. As for me, I'm glad to be living today, if for no other reason that otherwise I would be dead. Q. - "Who should we senior citizens vote for - Carter, Reagan or An­ derson? Which of them would be best in the White House for us elders? I don't think much of what Carter has done. I ask you because somebody said you seem to be one of those thinking animals." - Miles H. A. -- Miles may make his own choice on the basis of all the information he can ob­ tain and absorb by reading and listening, viewing. In truth, I'm not yet certain who I favor for the next CORONARY CARE SPECIALISTS - These four nurses in McHenry hospital's Intermediate Coronary Care unit are among the hospital's nurses who are now certified as specialists in Coronary Care. They are, from left, Monica Roberts, L.P.N.; Young Won Oh, R.N.; Josephine Kozlowski, R.N.; and Stephanie Pitel, R.N. The most recent graduates of the Nursing Education-MICU course who successfully passed accreditation tests also include Pamela Abbate, R.N.; Cheryl Christensen, R.N.; Anna Enarson, R.N.; Linda Merda, R.N.; and Linnea Thennes," R.N. presidency. Miles should not place too much faith in the ide? that thinking animals have the answer. If he will look back at the last few elections.and single out those he knows who didn't vote for the other candidate, he may decide that they didn't think enough. Q. - "My husband is 72, very active, and healthy. The only problem he has is that he doesn't hear very well out of one ear. Does Blue Cross pay on a hearing aid? How much does an examination cost? How do I encourage him to be tested? He would be very self- conscious wearing a hearing aid and he said to me that he wouldn't like it." - Ruby L. A. - Ruby can phone Blue Cross and inquire. An examination by an otolaryngologist's (ear doctor) audiologist should cost from $25 to $35. Ruby can encourage her husband by explaining to him that millions of Americans are wearing hearing aids with satisfaction and, in countless cases, with much joy because they can hear everything in the world about them ag&in - clearly and totally. At 72, I don't think it makes any difference whether other people see the hearing aid. The little thing is placed behind the ear and is barely noticeable, anyway. Ruby's husband will be able to hear normally and that is what counts. Once he tries it, he is certain to like it. Almost everybody does. The audiology test may shock him out of his reluc­ tance to wear • hearing aid because he may learn how unhappy it is to miss so much that is good to hear and to thus inflict misun­ derstanding and irritation on others. Q. -- "If the various telephone companies have their way it will not be long before - some four million people in the U.S. and Canada will no longer be able to hear over the telephone. They are those who wear hearing aids that have the telephone switch "T". The phone industry is programming out those four million people by switching over from phones that pick up the magnetic particles that flow from the in­ strument and transforms those particles into in­ compatible phones that they can't hear over. "That means that if a man with a hearing aid tries to listen, for example, on a hotel phone or pay phone that cannot accept the hearing aid's telephone switch, he is in trouble. Should a child with a hearing aid be at home alone and need help, or if he sees an accident on the street, he will not be able to tell anybody about his urgency if he tries to telephone because he cannot hear the operator ask him what he is calling about. "It is estimated that 25 percent of all telephones cannot be successfully used by those wearing hearing aids - children or achats. Right now in Congress there is a bill, H.R. 5022, that id in the House Subcommittee on communications that would require ttiht all newly manufactured, imported and installed telephones be compatible with hearing aids. The bill would stop the phone industry's program of replacement of compatible phones with phones that are cheaper and won't work for people with hearing aids. Congress is now in recess. It may adjourn in early October. Many concerned people hope that the bill mj&y be brought up for vote soen. Those who wear hearing aids should write thfir congressman. They can also write to the chairman of the sub­ committee, Rep. Lionel Van Deerlin, 2408 Ray burn House Office Building, Washington, D C." - G.G. A. - Thanks to G.G. I hope all who wear hearing aids will write to the congressmen. Q. - "I want to move from Kalispell, Mont., after spending fifteen miserable winters here and move to the Southwest. Can you give my address to your reader who wants to live in a cdld climate? Maybe he woi^d buy our house." - Betty A. A. - No, I cannot. I make it a rule to seldom, if ever, introduce people through this column. \A< >M< .< > VU KNr OPTICAL DEPARTMENT Use Wards Charg-All BACK TO SCHOOL SAVINGS Children's Glasses Any child or teen up to 16 years old may choose from our high quality selection of frames for young people!
