WHO AM I?

My birthday is March 4, 1891.

I was the National League king

for an amazing seven straight

seasons.

In 1955, I was inducted into

the MLB Hall of Fame.

One of my biggest accomplish-

ments was pitching a no hitter

in 1925, for the Dodgers.

Social SecurityQ & A

Mcclatchy-tribune news service

Q: In talking with my son, I found out he submitted incor-rect information about my resources when he completed my Application for Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs. How can I get my application changed now to show the correct amount?

A: You can call (800) 772-1213 and let us know. Or, you can contact your local Social Security office. Find it by go-ing to www.socialsecurity/locator/. Data on your application will be matched with data from other federal agencies. If there is a discrepancy that requires verification, we will con-tact you. Learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov/extrahelp.

———Q: What’s the easiest way to apply for retirement ben-

efits?A: The easiest way to apply for retirement benefits is

online at www.socialsecurity.gov/applyonline. It’s easy and secure. You can complete it in as little as 15 minutes. In most cases, once your application is submitted electroni-cally, you’re done. There are no forms to sign and usually no documentation is required. Social Security will process your application and contact you if we need more informa-tion. You also can apply by calling our toll-free number, (800) 772-1213 (TTY [800] 325-0778), between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Our representatives will make an appointment to take your application over the tele-phone or at a local Social Security office.

———Q: How can I get an estimate of my retirement benefits?A: Use our online Retirement Estimator at www.social

security.gov/estimator. There, you can enter certain iden-tifying information about yourself, including your name, date of birth, Social Security number, place of birth and mother’s maiden name. If the personal information you provide matches our records, you can enter your expected retirement age and future wages. The online application will combine your earnings data Social Security has and provide you a quick and reliable online benefit estimate. You can even enter different “what if” scenarios to find out what your

benefits will be in different situations. A Spanish-language Retirement Estimator is available at www.segurosocial.gov/calculador. In addition, you can obtain your online Social Security Statement, which provides estimates of future ben-efits as well as a record of your earnings to make sure your past earnings are reported correctly. Find the online state-ment at www.socialsecurity.gov/statement.

———Q: What is the difference between the disability applica-

tion and the disability report? Do I have to complete both?A: The Disability Application is an application for So-

cial Security disability benefits. To receive Social Security disability or Supplemental Security Income disability ben-efits, you must file an application. The Disability Report, meanwhile, is a form that provides Social Security with in-formation about your current medical condition. We need this information to process your disability application. To start a claim for disability benefits, you need to complete a disability application, a disability report and an authoriza-tion release form that allows us to obtain your medical re-cords. You can get the disability application process started at www.socialsecurity.gov/applyfordisability.

———Q: I’ve been turned down for disability benefits. How do

I appeal?A: Visit www.socialsecurity.gov and click on the “Appeal

a disability decision online” link in the left-hand column. This is the starting point. There you can ask us to review our

medical decision. There are two parts to the Internet appeal process:

1) An appeal request internet form.2) An appeal disability report, which gives us more infor-

mation about your condition.You can complete both forms online. To appeal online,

the only form you are required to submit is an appeal re-quest (Part 1). However, we encourage you to submit an ap-peal disability report (Part 2) because it will give us more information about you and help us process your appeal more quickly. The place to start is www.socialsecurity.gov.

———Q: How do I report a change of address if I’m getting

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?A: A person receiving SSI must report any change of ad-

dress by calling our toll-free number, (800) 772-1213 (TTY [800] 325-0778), or by visiting a local office within 10 days after the month the change occurs. You cannot complete a change of address online. You should report your new ad-dress to Social Security so you can continue to get mail from Social Security when necessary, even if you get your ben-efits electronically by direct deposit or Direct Express. Learn more about SSI www.socialsecurity.gov/ssi.

———Q: Is Supplemental Security Income (SSI) taxable?A: No. SSI payments are not subject to federal taxes, so

you will not get an annual form SSA-1099. To learn more about SSI, read our publication on the subject, What You Need To Know When You Get Supplemental Security In-come (SSI) at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/11011.html. If you receive Social Security benefits, they may be taxed. To learn more, see our page on the subject at www.social security.gov/planners/taxes.htm.

it’s not exactly a second career — or in this case a third career — but washing dishes at the pautler se-nior center in clarkston offers 80-year-old roy Jolley income, companionship and a chance to give back.

Jolley, of lewiston, started his job at the pautler center about six years ago. He gets paid for 12 hours a week, but spends much more time than that in the center’s kitchen, where asotin county senior round Table meals are served Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

“He works at least 20 (hours a week),” kitchen as-sistant Mike Mills said.

“actually, i get paid from 9 (a.m.) to 1 (p.m.), but i probably work from 8 (a.m.) to 2 (p.m.),” Jolley said.

“He volunteers his time, and we really appreciate that, because it’s so important to have volunteers to keep this running,” said Janice reed, who manages the pautler center office and the meal site, said. “i just find it amazing that he both works and volunteers at his age — and he works hard.”

Jolley, who has a head for dates, retired Dec. 31, 1986, from the united states bureau of reclamation. He said he receives a pension from the federal gov-ernment, but continues to work both out of necessity and desire.

“i need the income,” he said. “but i think i would work here if i didn’t need the income.”

never married, Jolley was born in orofino, at-tended school for several years in Forest, idaho, and graduated from high school in Winchester.

He was drafted by the u.s. army two years out of high school and was sent to Korea, where the war had just ended. He worked in the pX, stocking shelves and doing inventory.

“i was in Korea for one year, 10 months and 25 days,” he said.

in the early 1960s, Jolley’s job with the usbr took him to Montana, then california.

after he retired in 1986, he managed a roller rink in california for two years, drawing on a love of skat-ing that began when he was a young man.

“i started roller skating after i got out of the army,” he said.

He was an avid roller skater, taking his cousin’s kids to the rollaway when he visited lewiston. “gen-eration after generation, i took them skating,” he said. “Taught most of them how to skate.”

Jolley returned to the northwest in 1988, and in the early 1990s managed a skating rink in the Tri-cit-ies.

The last time he skated, he said, was in 1995. When asked what he does for exercise now that his roller-rink days are over, Jolley didn’t miss a beat: “Wash dishes,” he said, laughing.

These days, he is involved with the Fraternal order of eagles. He’s a trustee at the lewiston eagles and a member of the clarkston lodge.

“i’ve been everything but president for the eagles,” he said.

last month, two days after turning 80 on Valen-tine’s Day, he was honored at the eagles sweetheart

For Roy Jolley, working into his 80s isn’t just a financial necessity, it provides him with comaraderie and a way to give back

Dish-pan hands don’t scare this 80-year-old man

Tribune/Steve Hanks

Roy Jolley, 80, who washes dishes for the Senior Round Table nutrition program at the Pautler Senior Center in Clarkston, lives up to his last name, sporting an

infectious smile as he does his job.

Dance in Lewiston. “They voted me king,” he said, chuckling.

People like Jolley are the reason the Pautler center meal site is so popular, according to 82-year-old Rose Perdew.

“Everybody loves him,” she said.She has been coming to the center for lunches

and camaraderie for about five years.“I live in Lewiston and come up every Tuesday,

Thursday, Friday for lunch. If I don’t like the lunch, I’m here for the people I always talk with,” she said. “It’s just really, really great. I love it over here.”

Jolley said he enjoys the social atmosphere at the meal site, too, visiting with diners as they return

their plates to the kitchen when lunch is over.

“It’s when they come up to the window is when I get to know them,” he said.

Coming in early and staying past quitting time comes naturally to Jolley, a work ethic that awes Reed.

“You know, I am amazed with Roy be-cause, at his age, coming

in here every day and standing in the kitchen doing dishes for six hours … he’s always got a smile and he likes to joke around,” she said. “He’s fun to be with. I can count on him teasing me every day, and I tease him right back.”

Teasing him is one thing; treating him like he’s old is quite another, Reed said.

“I was unloading something out of my car one day that was kind of heavy, and you know, you just want to be nice and helpful and not make somebody his age try to carry something — and he was offended. He goes, ‘I am stronger than I look.’ And I let him carry it.”

“Just because they say I’m 80 … I don’t feel 80,” Jolley said.

Maybe because he feels so young, working into his ninth decade of life doesn’t bother him.

“It wouldn’t matter,” he said. “Even if I didn’t need the money, I’d still work.”

Sandy Blair and Eleanor (Ellie) Kunze

Sandy Blair and Ellie Kunze are the March Senior Volunteers of the Month for the WA-ID Volunteer Center.

What the group does: Blair and Kunze began Help-ing Hands Rescue Inc., an area animal rescue program that also emphasizes spaying and neutering pets. They take animals that for any number of reasons are with-

out a home and foster them until they can be placed in a “forever home.” At pres-ent there are approximately eight foster homes in the area. Blair and Kunze esti-mate they help 350 dogs per year and nu-merous cats. Neither of them foster ani-mals themselves anymore, because they have a hard time letting them go once they have them in their homes, but they do take new animals to the veterinarian and clean them up before they place them in foster homes. Blair currently has four dogs, three were foster dogs and one is

her son’s dog, that she has taken in.

They have made use of the “doggie railroad” and have

placed dogs as far away as Maine. The “doggie rail-

road” is a group of peo-ple who work together to move pets from town

to town, transporting them across the country.

And as many as eight of the dogs they have rescued

have been placed with the hearing dog program. They work with many groups and organizations to get animals placed in just the right situ-ation. One that

will fit with a dog’s abilities and personalities.

The two main goals for Help-ing Hands is to place animals

where they will be able to stay for the re-mainder of their lives, and to spay and neu-ter every animal they can.

Blair and Kunze are also working with Cathy Robinson at the WA-ID Volunteer Center to establish a program where vol-unteers will take their friendly and well-behaved pets to visit the residents at the Idaho State Veterans Home in Lewiston for

an hour or two a week.How it all began: They got started caring for ani-

mals in the early 1970s with the idea to spay and neu-ter as many animals as they could. They would go to the animal shelters and take dogs that were having trouble being adopted because of their appearance. They would take the dogs to their houses and groom them before taking them back to the shelter, increas-ing the chance the animal would go home with some-one instead of being euthanized.

Kunze moved to St. Maries for a time and while there she worked to get funding to help people with limited incomes be able to afford to get their ani-mals fixed. During that time she received calls from people who lived here in the valley. She wasn’t able to help them at the time, because the funding was for Benewah County residents only. Kunze was surprised to learn there wasn’t any help in this area for getting animals fixed.

When she returned to the valley, she contacted Blair to see if she would be interested in starting a program to help get animals fixed, and it grew from there.

Foster homes and pets: The program has some foster homes that are specific for dogs, some that are just for cats and some that will foster either. Blair and Kunze take the animals in foster care to PetCo on Sat-urdays and also publish ads in the Tribune to help get them permanent homes. They are very careful about who provides foster homes as well as permanent homes to these animals, and there is an application process to do either.

Like many of you, when I was growing up there was only one non-prescription pain reliever — aspirin.

For years it was the only medica-tion in our home. Meanwhile, physi-cians were using high doses of aspi-rin to treat rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatic fever. Eventually aspirin was banned from use in children and young adults because of Reye Syn-drome, a serious condition caused

by taking aspirin during flu season. New treatments for arthritis became available, but aspirin remained in the medicine cabinet.

Because it is so familiar, aspirin is taken for granted. After all,

it doesn’t even require a prescription. In fact, it is an effective and important medication in the fight to prevent heart attack and stroke. However, neglecting to take it as prescribed may lead to cardiovascular events or death. Taking it without caution may lead to bruising and life-threatening bleeding.

In people who have suffered a stroke or heart attack, aspirin significantly decreases the likelihood of death. It is usually started right away in the emergency room, chewed to speed its absorption. Once a patient is home from the hospital, the usual dose is just 81 milligrams a day, taken with a meal and enteric coated to protect the stomach. Taking high doses of aspirin may decrease its effec-tiveness as well as cause more side effects. More is not necessarily better.

Many healthy people are taking low dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks, but there is not good data to support doing so. Un-less you are a smoker, have high blood pressure or known cardio-vascular disease, the risks from taking aspirin may outweigh the benefits. For those who already have heart disease or stroke, the benefits of taking aspirin far outweigh the risks.

Treat aspirin with respect. Always let your health care provider know before starting or stopping it. And don’t start taking aspirin unless you know it is likely to benefit you.

Here a hat, there a hat, everywhere a hat. No, I didn’t get lost in my closet — I had lunch with the Vi-vacious Vagabonds. It is just one of the several Red Hat Society groups located here in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley.

And what a group it is. Anyone who knows me, or

has just seen me out around town may have an idea that I love hats and being a Red Hat lady is something I definitely see in my future. Now, I have a reason to look forward to be-ing 50.

This particular group began in 2002 or 2003 (they’re not quite sure) and has an array of women as members. On the day I joined them for their monthly luncheon there were about a dozen women in attendance at Daily’s

Bakery in Clarkston.The group has 31 members, which includes a French

war bride who came to the country in 1946 and whose accent is still very thick. A red barrette adorned her head. Many in the valley know the name Shirley Hen-nigan, if not from her time teaching theater at Lewis-

Clark State College then from her work with the Lewiston Civic Theater. She, too, dons a red hat and enjoys membership in this group. Another member whose name may be recognizable to many is Betty Lou Gano, who is part of the Friends of the Library.

Gano told me the purpose of this group is for women to gather for lunch and have fun while wearing red and purple. There is even a poem, which Gano was kind enough to provide me with and I have included with this column. Anyone who knows me will likely think after reading it that I have been practicing for membership in this group most of my life.

These women get together the first Thursday of the month for lunch at different restaurants and locations throughout the re-gion. They range in age from their mid-50s to their mid-80s.

This being more of a social group than an organiztional group they don’t elect leaders, instead they pass the title of queen on quiet informally.

The current queen, Audrey, made the an-nouncement at this particular lunch that after her three years as queen she was ready to give up her “crown” and mentioned another member who was willing to step into the role.

This really is a social group and members do exactly what they are meant to do — gather and enjoy one an-other’s company dressed in red and purple. As women of this age do, they talk about the accomplishments of their children and grandchildren, and catch up on what they’ve done since last seeing one another. If ever there were a group designed just for me, it is this group. I see myself wearing a purple top, red hat and meeting my friends to eat lunch and drink wine.

Really, this is me now but I will continue to look for the perfect red hat while I await my 50th birthday. Actually you can join the group before you turn 50 but you wear a pink hat — I am currently shopping for one.

By Lisa M. KriegerSan JoSe Mercury newS

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The day she brought a hospital bed into her den, Susan Meyers’ role in life changed dramatically, from ador-ing mate to devoted caregiver.

Like one of every six Californians, she was taking on a job that doesn’t pay, but costs sleep, savings and sometimes physical well-being.

Her beloved, John, the charismatic flight surgeon and avid tennis player who had wooed her with song and dance, was dying of neurodegenerative disease. Not only was she losing a partner, she was shouldering new re-sponsibilities, from running their San Mateo household to managing his medications, dis-infecting urine bags and tucking in his blan-kets to keep him safe and warm in bed.

“At least,” she said, “he is here at home.”Caregiving can be immensely rewarding,

driven by love and dedication. It is also ex-hausting, expensive and poorly supported by a medical system that delivers life-prolong-ing miracles, but little help for loving care at home in life’s fragile years. Caregiving bankrupts families, isolates loving spouses, delays retirement or forces us to pass up pro-motions.

The challenges of caregiving are a reality of daily life for more than 6 million Califor-nians who help parents, partners, children or friends — with everything from meal prepa-ration to taking care of medical needs — even as they worry about their own futures.

Such dedicated families provide most of the long-term care in California, often at great financial, physical and emotional sacrifice, according to the Family Caregiver Alliance in San Francisco. Their unpaid service has an estimated market value of $45 billion annu-ally.

Bearing witness to life’s end, caregivers push wheelchairs, ease pain and share stories.

Then, when unable to keep up, they turn to more formal alternatives — such as in-home care, assisted liv-ing or nursing home care — and find few good choices in a system that is fragmented, uncoordinated and ex-traordinarily expensive.

What’s happened, experts say, is that life’s final chapter has changed.

A century ago, most people sick-ened and died quickly from disease or sudden injury, often surrounded by an extended family.

Now many Americans live with chronic, progressive illnesses, typi-cally after prolonged periods of physical dependency with few rela-tives nearby. And the nation is grow-

ing older. People 85 and older — those most in need of long-term care — are the nation’s fastest growing population group, climbing to about 8.9 million by 2030.

Yet the modern health care system - which rewards cures, not caregiving - hasn’t adapted to these trends, said John Schall, president of the Family Caregiver Alliance.

“Family caregiving is the backbone of the long-term care system in this country,” Schall said. “As chronic conditions continue to in-crease, and we live longer, the burden will increase.”

As Pleasanton resident Orland Silva stayed at home dying of cancer, his five adult chil-dren took around-the-clock shifts so that their 71-year-old father stayed clean and comfort-able under hospice care. One, with a leave of absence from work, covered mornings; anoth-er attended to late afternoons and evenings; a third spent the night. Two others helped run errands and supported their mother.

Their gift of time made it possible for Silva to enjoy afternoon reruns of “Gunsmoke” with his grandson and chat with friends from his beloved Bible study fellowship.

“I have a household of people here just about every day,” said Silva, before his death in May. “I am just experiencing the love be-ing poured out from family and friends.”

More than two-thirds of people older than 65 will require long-term services at some point in their lives, according to the U.S. De-partment of Health and Human Services.

But such care is not just for the old and frail. About 40 percent of care goes to people younger than 65, like Valor, who need help due to disease, injury, developmental disabili-ties or severe mental illness.

“Caregiving is hard. But it doesn’t have to be this hard,” said Dr. Ira Byock of Dartmouth Medical School and author of “Dying Well.”

Susan Meyers sought to keep John, 84, at home so they could savor some final private moments during his decline.

She treasured their quiet time together in their living room.

nice music, maybe Frank Sinatra or some soundtracks,” she said, before he died in October. “Even if he just squeezes my hand a little bit, it makes it all worthwhile. It is one of the really precious things about him being here.”

But she paid a physical and emotional price. Her weight dropped to 90 pounds. She fell down stairs while trying to

help him. With a lifetime of saving, the couple was able to hire weekday help. But Susan took on many tasks and suffered pangs of isolation and inadequacy.

“Sometimes I’d like to bolt, but I never would,” said Meyers, now 71. “Sometimes you just kind of tear your hair out.”

After she had a midnight scare of soaring blood pres-sure and heart palpitations, she called an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Even then, she worried: Who would care for John?

For society, it is far cheaper to keep people out of the

hospital or skilled nursing homes. And most say they hope to die at home, far from hospitals’ rescue credo and the technological panoply of beeping monitors and dan-gling drip lines.

But caring for loved ones exacts a heavy toll on fami-lies, even though it can be a source of great personal sat-isfaction.

They sacrifi ce jobs and careers. One national study found that a third of caregivers cut back their work hours to devote more time to loved ones. Others pass up promo-tions or job opportunities.

Working caregivers fi nd few resources, such as eight-hour day care.

“I can’t leave my husband alone,” said 59-year-old Barbara Gruenwald, a San Francisco fi nancial consultant who struggled to fi nd all-day care for her husband, John, who suffers from Lewy body dementia. “But he doesn’t need skilled nursing. He doesn’t belong in a facility. And it would be devastating to him.”

Some must quit work altogether; Joan Valor gave up her real estate job. When Eric’s caregivers sickened, she took over the job — for four days straight. And when a caregiver quits, it can take months to fi nd a suitable re-placement.

Caregiving can also strain retirement income, because time off work reduces pensions and Social Security ben-efi ts.

And the costs of care are stratospheric.Families pay out of their own pockets: Savings. Social

Security. Reverse mortgages. Pensions.That’s because Medicare pays only for treatment, not

in-home “custodial care.” Hospice can help, but its pa-tients must be judged to be within six months of death - and even then, its benefi ts don’t cover prolonged around-the-clock care. Private insurance doesn’t cover care, unless the patient has a long-term care policy that comes with premiums ranging from $2,200 to $7,700 a year for 65-year-olds.

Home care, an experience seared into the minds of sur-vivors, brings its own grace.

By DEBORAH L. SHELTONCHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO — Two years ago, Ruth Maxey was raising six children, including twin granddaughters, a niece and the girl’s three siblings.

She was also in her 60s.It got to be too much, and in January 2011 Maxey had a

stroke, not long after she retired from a demanding job as a hospital administrator. She has high blood pressure, which is a risk factor, but “I’m sure the job and raising the kids and the rippin’ and runnin’ had something to do with it,” she said.

After her stroke, the three oldest children moved in with their grand-mother in Rockford, Ill., and Maxey focused on raising the other three, including her two grandchildren, whose mother had died of compli-cations from childbirth.

“I guess all would be good if I was 35 and I had the energy to keep up with them,” said Maxey, 64, who decided to retire to focus on the kids. “I don’t have the energy, but I love them.”

Raising children can be taxing at any age, but it can put even more physical and emotional strain on an older person. Poor health, in turn, can make it more diffi cult for some grandparents to perform caregiving duties.

Some research has found that grandparent-caregivers experience depression, high blood pressure and

other health problems at higher rates than their peers who are not raising children.

“Considering the changes related to aging — hearing loss, vision impairment, gait abnormalities, cognitive decline, among many others — grandparents face signifi cant emo-tional and physical challenges as they try to ’keep up’ with toddlers, tweens, teenagers and pre-adults,” said Dr. June McKoy, a Northwestern University geriatrician.

Most people assume that their full-time child-rearing responsibilities will end once their chil-dren are grown and out of the house, but millions of grandparents across the country fi nd them-selves nurturing another generation.

Their numbers have risen steadily over the

years. Among the reasons: an illness, death, addiction, men-tal illness, incarceration or military deployment on the part of one or both of the child’s parents. The prolonged economic downturn also has taken a toll on some families.

Of course, not all grandparents wind up caring for children under such diffi cult circumstances.

“With some families, what you see is shared parenting across the generations and a family adapting in a very positive way, such as helping a young parent going to school care for the child until the parent can assume more of the responsibili-ties,” said James Gleeson, an associate professor at the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

And some grandparents say their grandkids help them stay active.

Grandparent caregiving crosses income, racial and other demographic categories, Gleeson said, though African-Amer-icans are two to three times as likely to be raised by a rela-tive other than a parent, compared with other racial and ethnic groups. About a third of grandparents caring for grandchil-dren are single.

Nationwide in 2011, about 7 million grandparents lived with a grandchild younger than 18, and about 39 percent of them were primarily responsible for meeting their grandkids’ basic needs.

In Illinois, grandparents were living with their minor grand-children in more than 270,000 households. In 99,000 of them, an older adult had taken on primary responsibility for meeting

the basic needs of at least one grandchild.

Daxa Sanghvi, caregiver spe-cialist at the Kenneth Young Center in Elk Grove Village, said participants in a support group she facilitates for grand-parents raising grandchildren often share concerns about the impact of caregiving on their health.

Sanghvi said many of the grandparents say they are stressed out and that confl icts about the grandchildren some-times arise between them and their spouses.

“They have no time, no en-ergy, and emotionally they are really defl ated,” she said. “They are not even thinking about themselves because they are go-

ing, going, going.”Many of the grandparents she works with are

sleep-deprived and “trying to do so much it af-fects their emotional state as well as their physical state,” Sanghvi said. “Sometimes they don’t even realize how much it is affecting them.”

One of those grandparents, Suzanne Kowalski, was so absorbed with taking care of two of her grandchildren that she ignored a dimple on her left breast that turned out to be a sign of cancer. By the time she sought medical care and got diagnosed a year later, in September 2011, it had spread to her lymph nodes.

“Had I not been raising the grandkids, I would have gone to the doctor at least a year ear-lier because I wouldn’t have been so fi nancially strapped,” she said. “My energy level would not have been so low. I was giving all my attention to them.”

Kowalski, like other grandparents interviewed by the Chcago Tribune, said she doesn’t regret taking the children in.

“Every choice I made was my choice and I

would do it again,” said Kowalski, who lives in Mount Prospect. “I believed they didn’t deserve any less than my full attention. In hindsight, I could have taken better care of myself so I could be better for them. But you live and you learn and sometimes you learn when it’s too late.”

In March, after eight years, she decided to turn over custody of the children to their father, her son-in-law.

Without the kids, Kowalski says, she is paying more attention to her health.

“I’m living and eating differently now,” she said. “If they were living here, I wouldn’t be do-ing that because I always put the kids fi rst. Now I’m fi rst.”

Many grandparents living on a fi xed income can’t afford health care for themselves because they spend what they have on their grandchildren, McKoy said. This is especially true for African-Americans and Latinos, who tend to have lower incomes to start with.

McKoy said some of her grandparent-patients ask for less expensive medications because they can’t afford the ones she would usually prescribe.

Resources are available to help, said Sarah Stein, manager of community programs at AgeOp-tions, a nonprofi t Area Agency on Aging. AgeOp-tions and other agencies offer services to support older adults raising children, including counsel-ing, support groups, resource referrals, limited fi nancial assistance, and help with legal matters such as guardianship and adoption.

Despite the challenges, most grandparents feel a sense of reward raising their grandchildren and report high levels of satisfaction for keeping the family together, said Gleeson, who has conducted research on grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.

And most studies report that the children do well socially, academically and in other ways, he said.

Maxey, who lives in south suburban Dolton, Ill., said families must do whatever they can to stick together and support each other.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be raising my grandchildren,” she said. “(But) what else would I do? They are here and I love them. They are truly a blessing.”
