Waiting For DadWhen I was a wee little lad

sometimes I did things that were bad.

And on those days … gee my mom promised me

that evening I’d have to face dad.Those bad deeds

I could not defend, or blame it

on all of my friends.So I was real glad that I found a pad

to strap to my little rear end.Ken Taylor, 77, Clarkston

Poems of Endearment

Many poems of endearment have been written

about the children that we love.I, for one, have been blessed

to write about the babes we hold, a gift from above.

A mother’s greatest pleasure is to hold their little ones

in their arms, and oh what a joy

to sing sweet lullabies ~ Praying always the Good Shepherd

protect them from harm.We all are like children

in our heavenly Father’s eyes, when young we learn many things and as we grow up we realize ~

We need guidance as we start out, a loving hand

to pick us up when we fall.The earnest prayers

from our father and mother ~The miracle of conversion

to heed the call.All the nurturing

we had when young we wish to give in return.

Praying the guardian messengers will be there to help our children

live what they learn.Rebecca Whited, 68, Clarkston

Caught In A Generation Sandwich

Today I was a senior, today I was a past

Today I was a junior, today I was a future

My body fought the cold air above the covers with aches

and pains in new places to slow my paces.

Minutes later, even in church, behind a senior to admire

there was no escape from reality in the high E

in the song of joy as I hid a tear for the blood

pools of age hiding below the surface of the

thin skin of this man once strong.My own hands were

a mass of wrinkles and a delta of vessels carrying blood that,

too, would eventually find a pool for rest.

Such a contrast with my future at the other end of the pew —

a girl with quiet gum I didn’t welcome,

but with shiny hair — one grown from 14 to 18 in a

metamorphosis last night.This was the same girl

whose baby bottom 14 years ago was as soft and perfect as the

highlighted cheeks and dancing eyes emanating

from the confines of a brilliant blue first formal

in the glow of the spotlight last night.

Who could explain the emotions tugging at my heart

all this day long.I was the past,

I was the future; a junior I was, a senior I was

dreaming of the day that some young man would feel a tingle rip through his

body with even a casual brush against the flawless flesh of my future — I would just have to

hide the wrinkles in my hands entwined in a prayerful pause,

covered by a joyful high EI am the past;

I am the future;junior and senior I am.

Dennis Ohrtman, 66, Lewiston

Spring ChoresI rose up in the morning

wondering what shall I do today?Looked out my window

to the brightness of the day.I saw grass that needed mowing,

weeds are in all array, among the tulips and the daffodils,

just ruined my happy day.Guess I’d better get moving

but I feel pain in my back and legs!Trees and bushes need pruning

and the trimmings hauled away.Got to check

Dave Hudson looks like an average 70-year-old guy — he doesn’t stand out, not even in his bright green cycling jacket.

but stick him in the grantham elementary school gym and suddenly the opposite becomes true. right after the bell rings to dismiss the students, some fil-ter through the gym and call out a “Hey, Mr. Dave!” or come to say hello. one runs over and begs for a hug while wrapping her arms around him.

Hudson isn’t a teacher at the school; he’s the volunteer archery coach. He shows up for a couple weeks each semester to help teach the skill in physi-cal education classes and he coaches the weekly archery club that meets after school.

He’s experienced with a bow and arrow, but that’s not the reason these kids’ faces light up when they see Hudson from across the room. no, it has more to

do with the bike that sits next to the line of archery targets and rack of bows.

The bike is sitting there because Hudson is crazy about the archery program and about the kids in it. He’s so crazy, in fact, that on May 14, this 70-year-old will begin a two-month solo bike trip following the 3,000-mile lewis and clark Trail to raise money for the program.

no one at grantham has run through the numbers to prove participation in archery improves academic success. but life is more than good grades.

“i was surprised by how much shooting a bow and arrow can affect a kid,” Hudson said.

since the program’s beginning four years ago, Hudson has seen a change in several of the students as they move through the program. He’s watched some build physical strength. others have learned to hold still and focus. some have developed confi-dence, and others are learning to quiet their aggres-

sion and practice self-control. The program also teaches hard work, responsi-

bility and the reality of consequences. rules about safety are clearly stated and the slightest infraction is addressed swiftly and absolutely.

“if you break the rules, you’re done. There’s no begging and pleading, you can’t call home and have mom and dad bail you out. it’s very humbling for the kids,” Holly ledgerwood said. ledgerwood is the Pe teacher, assistant principal and staff member who oversees the archery program at grantham.

besides these valuable life lessons, archery opens up new opportunities. according to Hudson, there are kids in the program who have never traveled out of the lewiston-clarkston Valley or stayed at a friend’s house. That means going to a state competi-tion four hours away in ellensburg, Wash., is a big deal.

“For some of these kids, this is a huge trip,” Hudson said. “one boy who went, that’s all he’s talk-ed about since.”

The program is open to all students, and a wide range of personalities and backgrounds participate, but Hudson said he sees it make the biggest impact

on the students who are sometimes forgotten and left out. For them, archery is an opportunity to belong and to get good at a skill.

“it’s something that lets them have fun,” he said.

The focus has always been on hav-ing fun and trying — not on being the best. even when it comes to going to the state competition, Hudson selects students based not on scores, but on the effort they put into their skill.

“it’s never been about winning,” Hudson said. “it’s about did they par-ticipate? Did they have fun? and did they try their hardest?”

There was no such thing as archery club at grantham five years ago. now, every school in the clarkston school District is part of the national archery in the schools Program. Through this federal pro-gram, every student — from elemen-tary through high school — picks up a bow and arrow for a couple weeks each semester in Pe and has the opportunity to participate in an after-school competitive archery club. This past March, every school in the dis-

trict sent a team of at least 12 students to the state competition.

Archery wasn’t new to Hudson, but teaching was. His friend, Don Lee, is the principal at Grantham and when the program was getting started, Lee asked him to consider coach-ing. Hudson took one look, got the required certification and jumped right in.

“I enjoy it way more than I thought I would,” Hudson said.

The Archery Club at Grantham meets after school every Wednesday in the gym for two hours. There are anywhere from five to 35 students who will show up each week — regular attendance isn’t required, though it certainly helps in terms of skill build-ing. With only a few targets, students take turns shooting. While one group shoots, Ledgerwood oversees the other students who work on homework.

Most begin with no shooting expe-rience, other than the two weeks of

instruction in PE. Hudson sees archery as an equal opportunity sport. It doesn’t favor a certain gender or height or weight or personality, all it requires is a little strength and focus.

“Every kid’s got an equal chance, period,” Hudson said.

The school archery program wasn’t the only thing to bring changes to Hudson’s life. About a year after he started coaching archery, he was sitting with friends at McDonald’s when he noticed a man come in who was wear-ing bike shorts.

Hudson struck up a conversation and learned that the man, Keith Reed, was on a cross-country bike trip. The man wasn’t much younger than Hudson.

The half-hour interaction was a wake-up call to Hudson.

“He’s out there going, and I’m out here croaking,” he said.

At the time of the interaction, Hudson weighed 285 pounds and was

on 12 different medications for pain, heart disease, depression and diabetes. He described himself as a man just waiting to die.

But instead of dying, he got on a bike. His first ride — two-and-a-half miles — wore him out. But he kept at it and by the end of the riding season, he had logged more than 600 miles. The next season he got a new bike, and rode 2,200 miles, which included an eight-day, 480-mile trip.

Hudson now weighs 225 pounds and is down to two types of medication. The chronic back pain he had from a vehicle accident is relieved from bik-ing because it takes pressure off his spine. A year ago when his 11-year-old intrathecal morphine pump gave out, he told the doctor just to remove it; he didn’t need it anymore.

“I found there are other ways of cop-ing with pain,” Hudson said.

The biking helped save his life.“If I stayed where I was at five years

ago, I wouldn’t be here today,” Hudson said.

Hudson decided to use the very thing that saved his life to help the archery program of which he is so proud.

Two years ago, Hudson and Lee rode from Astoria, Ore., to the valley and collected $700 for the archery pro-gram. This time, Hudson is hoping to collect a lot more.

The Archery Club is a federal pro-gram, but to operate it, Grantham relies primarily on district funds, grant money from hunting organizations — for example, the Elk Foundation, Mule Deer Foundation and Turkey Foundation — and donations by local businesses and individuals. These funds pay for equipment and travel costs.

But right now, the $200 targets sit-ting in the school’s gym are so shot up arrows bounce out of them. Students have to take turns with the $100 bows, which can get confusing because they are all uniquely adjusted according to the strength of the shooter. And as novice shooters, they go through their fair share of arrows at around $50 a dozen.

Hudson hopes to bring in enough money through his ride to cover these basic program needs, but his dreams go even higher; he wants to see local students get to compete nationally in Knoxville, Tenn. Even thought they are some of the top shooters in the state, none of the Clarkston students were able to attend the national competition because the cost of sending students is too high. This is something Hudson would like to see change.

“They’re my kids, whether they’re at my school or not,” Hudson said.

Hudson has worked out all the kinks and is excited about the trip.

Last year, Hudson rode around 3,000 miles on his bike. He says the American Cycling Association (ACA) measures the Lewis and Clark Trail at 2,810.5 miles, which means this ride alone will be about as many miles as he’s ridden in a year. He estimates the ride will take him 50-55 days, meaning he’ll have to cover around 50-60 miles each day.

The ACA has mapped out the trail, so Hudson has information about where water and other necessities are available. As a member of warmshow ers.org and couchsurfing.org, two hospi-tality exchange sites, he hopes to find free lodging along the way with people who open up their homes to travelers such as himself.

Dave Hudson, 70, of Clarkston, has been giving his time during the school year to the Clarkston School District archery program as a coach at Grantham Elementary School for the past few years. Now he will be giving part of his summer to the program as well; Hud-

son will take off May 14 on a cycling trip to raise money for the program.

4 See Hudson, page 12

Hudson’s bike will be loaded up with everything he needs for the ride. Several water bottles, a tent, food and other basic supplies, along with a GPS tracker to pinpoint his exact location at all times — mostly for his support-ive-but-careful wife.

And since he’ll be blogging about his trip, he also has a solar panel that will keep everything charged up.

“It’s a big step,” Hudson said.This is his longest trip by about four times and his

first solo trip. Besides the physical challenge, Hudson knows there’ll be a mental challenge of being by himself that entire time, along with the technological challenge of managing his new electronic gadgets.

But none of that is enough to scare him away.“Anything that’s an adventure — I’m in,” Hudson

said.To train for the trip, Hudson goes to the gym in

the morning for a weight and cardio workout, and

then does a 20- to 25-mile bike ride in the after-noons.

“I might not be in the best shape going in, but one week out, I will be,” Hudson said.

It’s not what most men his age are doing, but it’s because of these things — his bike and his archery kids — that Hudson says he’s still alive.

“If it weren’t for the bike and for the kids, I wouldn’t have made it,” he said.

AND RECOVERY

By Kim Hone-mcmaHanAkron BeAcon JournAl

AKRON, Ohio — The youngest baby boomer turns 50 this year. The big 5-0. A quinquagenarian. Half a century. Holy colonoscopy!

While today’s kids may think 50-year-olds roamed the earth with dinosaurs, others think they are mere youngsters.

“I see them more as my children,” said

Rose Rose of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, who turns 68 this year, making her among the oldest boomers. “To lump all baby boom-ers together is really sort of stretching it. There’s a big difference in baby boom-ers.”

Those born between 1946 and 1964 are considered the baby-boom generation — even though there’s nearly a two-decade span between the youngest and old-est. This leads to folks assuming boom-

ers have had, or are having, the same life experiences. But social com-mentator and

author Jonathan Pontell said that’s ludi-crous, and there’s a lost generation between baby boomers and Gen-Xers.

Several years ago, Pontell coined the term “Generation Jones,” which describes those born between 1954 and 1965. In the ’70s, that age group popular-ized the slang term “jonesin’” or “jone-sing” — craving or yearning. Jonesing, he added, has turned out to be a core personality trait of this new generation because of expectations that have been unfulfilled.

If you’ve never heard of Generation Jones, you likely will soon. Research groups, the media and educators are starting to use the definition. Next year, Random House is publishing Pontell’s book of the same name.

Boomers, as defined by the U.S. Census, were the swell of infants born

following World War II. By the end of 1964, 76.4 million baby boomers had been born in the United States.

“The whole premise of basing a gen-eration on the fertility rates of that generation’s parents is absurd,” Pontell, 55, said recently during a phone inter-view. “There’s no generation before or since the so-called baby-boom genera-tion that was ever based on birth rates. Generations stem from formative experi-ences, not head counts.”

Pontell decided to call the lost gen-eration “Jones” because it represents a large, anonymous group of people. “It could be Smith,” said the Cleveland native, now living in California.

Peace of Mind... Uncompromising Quality of Care

CNA Position AvailableWork with 6 Residents – Be Part of a Caring Team.

As a primary care physician, it is my honor to work with people in all phases of their lives.

One of the most challenging aspects of medical care is providing support for patients who have reached the end of their lives.

Although the end of life can be unexpected, sometimes it comes with some advance notice, in the form of a terminal diagnosis. This is a sad time for patients and their families; it is also a critically important time for everyone involved in the patient’s life. The support of family and friends is always helpful, but a dedicated team experienced in palliative and hospice care can make the burdens easier for everyone to bear.

Hospice care is an underutilized resource nation-

wide, especially here in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley.

Hospice services are covered through Medi-

care, Medicaid and many insurance plans for anyone with a life-limiting illness, regardless of reli-gion, age or nature of condition.

Hospice can pro-vide expert medical care

through home visits from physicians, nurses and certified nursing assistants. They can also assist with delivery of needed medical supplies to the patient’s place of residence, as well as ensuring those supplies are paid for.

This alone can allow patients and their families to focus more on getting the most out of their remaining time together, without worrying about appointments and bills.

But hospice doesn’t stop with meeting the medical care needs of a dying patient, or the practical and emotional needs of their families.

The hospice team can also provide spiritual and emotional support, whether this be in the form of regular visits with a chaplain, or helping to plan memorial services.

The majority of Americans have told researchers they would prefer to be at home at the end of life, and hospice teams work hard to help make that pos-sible.

If it is not feasible, hospice services can be provided to people living in nurs-ing homes and assisted-living facilities. Hospice also works closely with estab-lished physicians if the patient wishes to do so.

If you or a family member may be in need of hospice services, consider contacting any of the local hospice and palliative care services to find out more. The best time to learn about hospice is before you or a family member are in cri-

sis. Hospice care providers are able to offer consults to help assess and anticipate your needs.

MINNEAPOLIS — On the Wednesday of the first week of Minnesota deer hunting, Kenneth Felt, 93, went looking for a buck. Living not far from Itasca State Park, in northern Minnesota, on the same land he’s occupied for decades, he knew a few animals were in the area. So he grabbed his rifle and a handful of cartridges, and got on his four-wheeler.

He didn’t consider his age a problem. And while his long gun hadn’t been leveled in the direction of a game animal for more than 100 years, and then in his grandfather’s hands in Sweden, he had practiced with the firearm enough to know it was accurate.

“I took the rifle hunting a few times last year, but I wasn’t too serious about get-ting a deer because I was wor-ried about field-dressing it,”

he said. “My heart is bad and it would be kind of difficult to do that.”

Felt’s gun was a .50 caliber Husqvarna with a Remington rolling block action, the same type of rifle George Custer carried into the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

The rifle is a smokepole — that is, black powder — but its cartridges are self-contained, not unlike modern-day ammu-nition, except when the trigger of the Husqvarna is pulled, a large plume of white smoke appears at its muzzle, obscur-ing vision for long moments.

“I put the Husqvarna in a case and strapped it on the four-wheeler,” Felt said. “I drove out to a field and I was surprised to see a big doe standing right there. I thought, ‘Oh, no, I don’t want a doe. I’ll just drive farther on and look for a buck.’ ”

In World War II, Felt served

in the Navy, ship-bound vari-ously in Ireland, then the Mediterranean and finally in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945, when Japan formally surren-dered.

Returning to Minnesota after the war, he bought the 260-acre spread he still lives on, the first step in a varied career, which would ultimately see him serve as Clearwater County sheriff for 10 years.

“I wanted to offer the same kinds of services to Clearwater County residents that Hennepin County offered to its residents, though on a smaller scale,” Felt said. “Which in the end, I did.”

Growing up west of Bemidji, Minn., not far from where he lives now, Felt loved to trap, hunt and fish. He shot his first deer when he was 13 while walking home from school with his dad’s .30-30 Model 94 Winchester.

“I carried the gun with me to school and when I got near school I’d lean it up against a tree,” he said. “Then after school I’d pick it up, and one day on the way home I saw a deer and shot it.”

Tooling around now on his four-wheeler, looking for a buck, Felt was surprised to

soon stumble upon yet another doe.

“I figured, OK, maybe the good Lord wants me to shoot a doe after all,” Felt said, so he grabbed the Husqvarna. As fate had it, the doe remained still while Felt loaded a cartridge and pressed its stock to his shoulder.

“The second half of the boom had far more births, (causing) Jonesers to face the pipeline often clogged by boomers and then competing with even bigger numbers around us. So each point in the life cycle, whether we were trying to get into college, getting first jobs, first homes, has been a tough ride.”

Pontell believes the Jonesers have a more difficult time financially than the boomers born between 1946 and 1953.

“Boomers in general have had a pretty good ride. And boomers had big expecta-tions that were often realized,” he said. “The boomers were not left jonesing.”

There’s no denying the youngest boomer is at a different place in life than the eldest.

Rose, who is director of community and public relations at the Haven of Rest in Akron, Ohio, has three grown sons. Her firstborn is 47, just three years younger than “Joneser” Gene Fitch of Hudson, Ohio, who will turn 50 this year. Fitch has two teenage boys; Rose has grand-children the same age.

The teen years for the youngest and oldest boomers were also much differ-ent. “Ben Hur” and “West Side Story” won Academy Awards in the early ’60s. During that time, “The Andy Griffith Show,” “My Three Sons,” “The Addams Family” and “The Beverly Hillbillies” debuted. And Alfred Hitchcock freaked out teens with “Psycho.”

“I remember the Hula-Hoop contests at the State Road Shopping Center, my dad buying me a transistor radio, and paisley hip huggers,” Rose said, chuck-ling.

During their teen years, the youngest boomers watched shows like “Three’s Company,” “M*A*S*H” and “Dallas.” The

films “Kramer vs. Kramer” and “Ordinary People” won Academy Awards. The toy of the year in 1980 was the Rubik’s Cube. And many longed to be a preppy.

“I had ‘The (Official) Preppy Handbook.’ It was kind of like the dummies’ guide to being a preppy,” confessed Fitch, account manager at Cleveland’s Majestic Steel.

But perhaps it was the music that set baby boomers apart from those who came before and since. When the old-est boomers were children, the rock ’n’ roll revolution began. The year that the youngest boomer was born, and the old-est turned 18, the first Beatles album was released in the United States. And while some of the older boomers went to Woodstock, the youngest were left behind.

As for sports, in 1964, the year that the youngest boomers entered the world, the Cleveland Browns beat the Baltimore Colts 27-0 to win the NFL championship for the fourth and final time, at least so far.

The Vietnam War is a significant event in the middle and older boomer’s lives. Although people like Rose personally knew peers who were drafted, the young-est didn’t have pals who served there.

“I remember that we had the televi-sion news on every night and watched the casu-alty and killed count,” Fitch said. “To me, it seemed like we were always at war.”

When older boom-ers came home from Vietnam, they didn’t get a hero’s welcome. Instead, they were often ridiculed and called names. Because of that, those same boomers are making certain the men

and women returning home from the military today are treated with rever-ence.

As for the famous hippie vibe associ-ated with the 1960s, Pontell said while the youngest members of the generation were too young to participate, they still felt its effects.

“We were impacted (by the ’60s), but we weren’t a part of it,” Pontell said of the Jonesers. “While some of the (older)

boomers still refer to themselves as ‘children of the ’60s,’ really they were well into their teens and 20s. They were out changing the world and we were the ones being formed by those changes.”

Things like peace, love and a wish to change the world intensified the natural open-hearted, loving, idealistic feelings that kids have by virtue of just being kids, Pontell said.

How does the saying go? Look to the youth, for they are the future, is the correct verbiage, I believe.

When youth volunteer, especially college-aged kids, it is a great thing. But with their busy class schedules, jobs, friends and extracurricular activities there are many things they just don’t have the time to do and some things that, by law, they aren’t able to do.

I learned this recently at the My Own Home vol-unteer recognition/recruitment dinner. For instance students are not able to drive members of My Own Home to and from appointments, which is a big need, said Chelsey Fanara, volunteer and member services coordinator for the organization. Most of the volunteers she currently has are college students and she is in need of older volunteers to do the things the others can’t or won’t.

I am a huge volunteer advocate. I believe volun-teers make the world move. They are, in my opinion, the backbone to every great community, which is

why when I was invited to attend the dinner I was more than happy to do so and excited to write about the experi-ence.

The theme of the dinner was “Past, Present and Future Volunteers” to acknowledge and thank current volunteers as well as recruit new ones.

The event was small but that is to be expected as it was the first time the organization had put on such an event. But Fanara is hoping it will become an annual event with more participation.

I had the great fortune to sit with some very inter-esting people like Jane Freed. Freed was on the board of directors at the beginning when My Own Home

was being formed. Freed works at the Idaho Geological Survey office in Moscow doing map production and digital car-tography. She told us all about what goes into making a geological map — there is a lot to it and it takes several people doing different parts of the mapping project to make a complete map. It was a really inter-esting thing to learn.

Also seated at the table with us was Dan Pierce. He got involved in volunteering for My Own Home several years ago, and

between singing with his barbershop quartet and the Palouse Harmony Chorus he manages to help out still, but said he is looking to do more.

The My Own Home orga-nization is a nonprofit with a goal of helping seniors and others in need of assistance be independent and remain in their homes. They do it on a membership basis, meaning those in need of the help the program offers become members and Fanara finds volunteers to fill those needs.

“If I can’t find a volunteer,” Fanara said. “I’m doing it. I don’t let it just fall to the wayside, they need to trust

me.”There have been times when Fanara has had to

close the office to take a person to an appointment, but that means she isn’t there to talk to new volun-teers or new members — she needs a larger volun-teer base, which is one of the things she was hoping to accomplish with the dinner.

Dear Voter, When I saw how many mentally ill people were charged with crimes I started the fi rst mental health court in this region. When I saw the role of alcohol and drugs in crime, I ran three drug courts. I know the diff erence between people who do bad things because they are sick and those who do bad things because they are bad, I saw that the sick got treated and the bad went to prison. Th at's why I ask for your vote for District Judge on May 20.

Penny Bosley

Penny Bos-ley, of Clarkston, is Golden Times’ Senior Volunteer of the Month for May.

Volunteer work: She formerly volun-teered at Clarkston schools, the Chamber of Commerce and with the then-Junior Miss program. In November, she received rec-ognition from the WA-ID Vol-unteer Center for her 15 years of service. Most of her current volunteer work is done through Tri-State Memorial Hospi-tal in Clarkston, where she is the president of the auxiliary, works with the foundation, is involved in the Festival of Trees and has served as chairwoman on many of the auxiliary com-mittees. She has put in more than 5,000 hours in the past 15-plus years. She also volunteers in various ways with her church

in Clarkston and is involved in two East-ern Star groups.

“I have a full time job of volunteering,” Bosley quips.

Career: Bosley was the manager of kitch-ens for the Clarkston School District when she retired. She worked for the dis-trict for 35 years. She had other minor jobs before starting her career with the school district but most of her working life was spent cooking for children, she said.

Family: She has two children and

four grandchil-dren. Bosley grew up in the Lewiston-Clarkston Val-ley and started her education

at the “old Web-ster Elementary

School” in Lewis-ton. She graduated from Clarkston High School.

Hobbies: “It’s hard to have hobbies,”

Bosley said.She is so busy with her vol-

unteer work, but she does do some crafts and sews patient pillows for the hospital.

Bosley had a hard time put-ting into words her favorite part of volunteering.

“It’s nice to meet new people. It’s nice to be able to help peo-ple,” she said. “I don’t know that I have a favorite part. I just en-joy every aspect of volunteering at the hospital.”

When asked about advice she might have for others who want to become volunteers she replied: “Well, you have to like people for one thing.”

for Social Security retirement benefits. Can he qualify on my record?

A: A spouse receives one-half of the retired worker’s full benefit unless the spouse begins collecting benefits before full retirement age. If the spouse begins collecting benefits before full retirement age, the amount of the spouse’s benefit is reduced by a percentage based on the number of months before he reaches full retirement age. You can learn more by reading our online publication, Retire-ment Benefits.

———Q: My mother receives Supplemental

Security Income (SSI) benefits. She may have to enter a nursing home later this year. How does this affect her SSI ben-efits?

A: Moving to a nursing home can affect your mother’s SSI benefits but it depends on the type of facility. In some cases, the SSI payment may be reduced or stopped. Whenever your mother enters or leaves a nursing home, assisted living facility, hospital, skilled nursing facility, or any other kind of institution, you must tell So-cial Security. Social Security can answer specific questions and provide free interpreter services from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays. We also provide information by au-tomated phone service 24 hours a day.

———Q: I receive Supplemental Se-

curity Income (SSI) benefits. How do I notify Social Security that I have changed my address?

A: If you receive SSI pay-ments, Social Security needs your correct mailing address to send you notices and other cor-respondence about your benefits even if you receive your benefits by direct deposit. As an SSI re-cipient, you must report any change in living arrangements or address by calling our toll-free number or by visiting a local of-fice. If you do not notify us in a timely manner, you could end up receiving an incorrect payment. It’s important you report chang-es in a timely manor since some changes can affect your benefit amount.
