Summer fun is in full swing at the Senior Center! This month, Ed Lewis, Watertown's Energy
Manager, will join us for a Lunch and Learn to help us understand what electricity choice is all
about. It helps residents and the Town save money, but how does it work? Mr. Lewis will help us
sort it all out. We will also bring back the dynamic Professor Gary Hylander for Part 2 of his June
D-Day lecture that will focus on the Battle of the Bulge. You won't want to miss it!
Our Fall Trips are on Sale now. We will be taking our Senior Shuttle for lunch at the Villa Restaurant and shopping,
and we will be traveling with Fox Tours for a trip to Stockbridge and the Norman Rockwell Museum, and a trip
to Newport, RI for a holiday excursion.
Our Tuesday Evenings of Supper and Games with Pearl will be ending this month, so make sure to register now
before they are over, and our Annual BBQ is scheduled for August 13. We hope to see you!
As always, please share with us ideas for new programs and trips, and continue to check -in your attendance at
the My Senior Center kiosk when you enter the building. Thank you!

CASE WORKER CORNER WITH MARINA KIRSANOVA, LSW
- What are the services the Case Worker can provide?
I serve as an information and referral hub at the Senior Center. Very often, seniors and their
`R families are not aware of the benefits that are available to their loved ones. My role is to inform
my clients about the benefits they might be eligible for and to facilitate the process of application
and, if necessary, enrollment. I provide consultations at the office, and I visit clients at home. I
often get calls from clients who are going through hard times. An essential aspect of my work as a licensed
social worker is to make my clients feel heard, appreciated and supported emotionally.
I suspect that my next door neighbor can't take care of him/herself anymore. What do I do?
Sometimes we get calls from community members concerned with a senior's well-being. Please call us if the
senior you are worried about exhibits signs of abuse or self -neglect. Those signs can be severe depression,
malnutrition, declining self -care, unsafe driving, acting disoriented and confused, exhibiting bruises,
commenting about frequent falls, or financial exploitation. You can also report your concerns directly to the
Elder Abuse and Self -Neglect 24/7 Hotline at (800) 922-2275.
I am concerned about paying my taxes. Is there help available? The Assessor's Office has options available to
senior Watertown homeowners for tax relief. I suggest you call their office at (617) 972-6460 to discuss your
concerns. The Senior Property Tax Work Off Program is an option also. Homeowners age 60 and older who
are retired and meet eligibility guidelines, can apply through the Senior Center for this program that offers
jobs in Town Departments for up to a $1,500 deduction. Call (617) 972-6490 for an application.

WHAT IF MY MEDICARE
THE PLAN WON'T COVER A
SHINE DRUG I NEED?
PROGRAM If your Medicare plan won't cover a
Serving the Health drug or the co -pay is high, you have
Insurance Needs options. You can ask your doctor
of Everyone
whether there are generic, over-the-
counter, or less expensive brand -name drugs that
could work as well as the ones you're taking now.
You can see if you qualify for a Special Enrollment
Period to change to a different plan.
You can also request a coverage determination called
an "exception" if:
1. You think your plan should cover a drug that's not
on its formulary because the other treatment options
on your plan's formulary won't work for you.
2. You believe your plan's coverage rules, like prior
authorization, should be waived.
3. You think your plan should charge a lower amount
for a drug you're taking on the plan's non -preferred
drug tier because you can't take any of the other
lower cost drugs for the same condition.
If you request an exception, your doctor will need to
give a supporting statement to your plan explaining
why you need the drug you're requesting.
Call the Senior Center at 617-972-6490 to set up an
appointment, or if you still need assistance in
reviewing your coverage, call 1-800-MEDICARE
(1-800-633-4227). You can also compare plans
online at www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan.
