❤️ February is American Heart Month ❤️

At Golden Age Adult Day Center, we believe heart health is essential to living a long, active, and fulfilling life especially for our seniors.

Heart disease is one of the leading health concerns among older adults, but small lifestyle choices can make a big difference. This month is a great reminder to focus on habits that support a healthy heart.

Heart-healthy tips for seniors:
✔️ Stay physically active with safe, gentle movement
✔️ Choose heart-healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
✔️ Limit salt, sugar, and processed foods
✔️ Manage stress and get enough rest
✔️ Take medications as prescribed and attend regular checkups
✔️ Know the warning signs of heart problems

Taking care of your heart means taking care of your overall well-being.

💛 Golden Age Adult Day Center proudly supports our seniors in making healthy choices at home, in the community, and every day.

KEEPING SENIORS SAFE AT HOME 🏡💛

At Golden Age Adult Day Center, our concern for seniors goes beyond the time they spend with us and extends into the place they feel most comfortable — their own home.

Making a few simple adjustments at home can greatly improve safety, promote independence, and reduce the risk of injury. Many accidents can be prevented by addressing everyday hazards and creating a supportive living environment.

Helpful home safety tips for seniors and families:

✔️ Remove loose rugs, cords, and clutter from walking areas
✔️ Ensure good lighting in hallways, stairways, bathrooms, and entrances
✔️ Install grab bars in bathrooms and handrails on stairs
✔️ Use non-slip mats in showers, tubs, and kitchens
✔️ Keep commonly used items within easy reach to avoid unnecessary bending or climbing
✔️ Encourage the use of sturdy footwear with non-slip soles
✔️ Consider mobility aids such as canes, walkers, or raised toilet seats if needed
✔️ Make sure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms are working properly
✔️ Keep emergency numbers easily accessible and visible
✔️ Schedule regular vision and hearing checkups to support overall safety

These small but meaningful changes can help seniors feel more confident, comfortable, and secure in their homes — while giving families greater peace of mind.

💛 Golden Age Adult Day Center is proud to support seniors and their families, helping promote safety, independence, and quality of life at every stage of aging.

No Need to Change Your Medicaid Plan to Receive Quality Adult Day Services.

Have you been advised to switch your Medicaid Managed Care Organization (MCO) just to continue accessing adult day care?
At Golden Age Adult Day Center, that’s not necessary.

We proudly accept all Pennsylvania Medicaid MCOs, allowing you to maintain the insurance plan that best fits your needs — without interruption to your care.

Why This Matters:

Due to recent changes, some providers are losing contracts with certain MCOs and are encouraging clients to switch plans. However, changing your MCO under pressure can lead to disruptions in your healthcare, benefits, and continuity of care.

At Golden Age, we’re committed to:
• Supporting your right to choose the plan that works best for you
• Ensuring uninterrupted access to compassionate, high-quality care
• Providing transparent, client-centered service — without pressure or confusion

You don’t need to make changes to your insurance to receive the care you deserve.

Choose Golden Age Adult Day Center — where your health, comfort, and choice come first.

A Very Important Reminder

It is not legal for a daycare or home care provider to tell you to switch insurance plans just for their convenience. For example, switching from Keystone First to PA Health & Wellness or UPMC should be based on your needs—not because someone else told you to do it.

Before making any insurance changes, think carefully. A new plan might not cover your current doctors, medications, or services. Make sure you understand how the change will affect your care.

If you have questions or need help comparing plans, please reach out to a counselor at Golden Age Adult Day Center. We’re here to help you make the best decision for your health.

Be happy and healthy!

This 4th of July feels different. One of our beloved Golden Age client is not here to celebrate with us this year, and our hearts are truly broken.

He was with us for 10 wonderful years — always bringing laughter, wisdom, and warmth. He was a funny, intelligent, and kind-hearted man who touched the lives of everyone around him.

He passed away just a few weeks ago, and the loss is still so deeply felt. We miss him more than words can say. I’m so sorry he’s gone, but he will forever live on in my heart.

Rest peacefully, dear friend. You are loved, remembered, and missed every day. 💔🇺🇸

Wishing my Golden Age clients a joyful 4th of July!
Stay happy, healthy, and surrounded by love. We appreciate you so much and send our warmest wishes to your beautiful families as well. 🇺🇸❤️💙

Important Information About Keystone First Insurance and Your Options

We want to clarify that:

Golden Age Adult Day Center does accept Keystone First.
To be more specific, Golden Age is contracted with AmeriHealth Caritas (Keystone First), PA Health & Wellness, and UPMC Community HealthChoices. You can continue receiving services at Golden Age with any of these three plans.

Is Keystone First a Good Insurance?

Keystone First has earned a strong reputation, with a 4.0 out of 5 rating based on its performance in the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®), which measures how well health plans provide care and services. It also scored well in the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®), which reflects member satisfaction.

How to Choose the Right Plan for You

All Medicaid-managed care plans offer the same basic benefits, but some may provide extra programs or services that better match your needs. Here are some things to consider:
• Not all doctors accept all plans. If you want to stay with your current doctor or specialists, make sure they accept the insurance plan you’re choosing.
• Our counselors at Golden Age Adult Day Center can help. They can:
• Explain the differences between plans
• Check which plans your doctors accept
• Help you find a plan that supports specific health needs (like diabetes, asthma, etc.)

Let us know what’s important to you, and we’ll guide you through your options.

A Very Important Reminder

It is not legal for a daycare or home care provider to tell you to switch insurance plans just for their convenience. For example, switching from Keystone First to PA Health & Wellness or UPMC should be based on your needs—not because someone else told you to do it.

Before making any insurance changes, think carefully. A new plan might not cover your current doctors, medications, or services. Make sure you understand how the change will affect your care.
