HomePorts is a non-profit 501(c)3 membership alliance providing access to a wide range
of services designed to offer mature adults what they need to remain in their own homes.
Membership is available to those over 55 in Kent County and the adjacent area in Queen
Anne's County within the 21620 zip code.
Welcome
According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, seven out of ten deaths
in the United States are related to
chronic preventable diseases.
HomePorts, Inc. has organized today’s
Community Health Fair
in an effort to strengthen local efforts
to prevent disease and promote wellness
for all ages in Kent County.
We are also pleased to provide this expanded,
updated Resource Guide and information about
services available in Kent County.

HomePorts, Inc.
HomePorts is now in its seventh year helping older adults in greater Kent County
live independently and safely in their own homes. We are a non-profit, grassroots
membership organization for those 55 and older. Over 100 seniors are members
of HomePorts, benefiting from a cadre of over 50 volunteers who provide rides,
home visits, and errands for members. Referrals are made to reliable service
providers in the fields of transportation, interior & exterior home maintenance,
home care, personal assistance & trouble shooting, pet services, and more. All
vendors used are interviewed and approved by a review committee and are local
business persons. Financial assistance is available to those on a limited income.
HomePorts’ members also support and promote community services and
encourage access to available social, educational, and cultural activities. A
quarterly educational program features presentations on relevant topics, and
social events are scheduled regularly.
Many older adults believe they “are not ready yet” for an organization like
HomePorts, but its adherents praise its operations. HomePorts is modeled after
similar organizations operating successfully in other regions of the country, cited
by experts as the wave of the future. Kent County offers many attractions to new
retirees looking for a comfortable and senior-friendly place to live. It may be the
smallest county in Maryland in terms of population but it’s the third largest, per
capita, in the number of seniors, and a trend-setter in aging in place.

Health Screenings
Diabetes: Pre-Diabetes At-Risk Assessment
Of the 21 million Americans with diabetes, about one-third don’t even realize that
they have it. If you’re wondering if you should get tested for diabetes or prediabetes, it’s helpful to review a checklist of common risk factors. If you’re over 45,
you should ask your doctor if you should be tested for diabetes or pre-diabetes,
even if the other risk factors don’t apply to you.
For Overall Health: Bone Mass Index (BMI), including Bone Density
About two of every three adults are now overweight or obese, and being obese
puts you at higher risk for health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, high
blood pressure and stroke. If you have a body mass index (BMI) higher than 30
it can lead to many chronic conditions and diseases, which is why it’s helpful to
know your BMI. A body composition analysis will provide information that includes
muscle and body fat percentages, and will include bone density levels too. (Please
note that dehydration as well as large food intake prior to test may affect results.)
Low bone density can lead to osteoporosis, which can lead to serious bone fractures. There is no pain associated with this condition - you could have osteoporosis
or be at risk for it without even realizing it. A screening is recommended for women
over the age of 30 and men over the age of 55 years old.
Heart Health: Blood Pressure Screenings (BPs)
High blood pressure greatly increases your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Having high blood pressure often presents with no symptoms, thus regular screenings should be an important part of a healthy lifestyle to help detect risk factors in
their earliest stages. Once risk factors are identified, appropriate lifestyle changes
can be modified, such as diet or level of physical activity. There are a variety of
medications available that can help to control high blood pressure too.
Infection Prevention & Hand Hygiene
A black light, which uses ultraviolet light, can show germs left on hands that have
not been washed thoroughly. Test your hand hygiene skills and learn effective,
easy ways to keep hands germ free!
Lung Function Test (Spirometry/Lung Capacity)
Spirometry is a common lung function test that measures how much and how
quickly you can move air out of your lungs. For this test, you breathe into a mouthpiece attached to a recording device (spirometer). The information is collected by
the spirometer and the results are reviewed by a physician, who will then determine
if any necessary follow-up is required. Results will be mailed to the patient.
4.
Health Screenings
Stroke At-Risk Assessment
More than 750,000 people suffer from stroke in the U.S. each year, but up to 50%
of strokes could be prevented. In the case of stroke, many of the risk factors can
be treated, modified or controlled. However, some risk factors for stroke cannot
be changed. Stroke risk factors are medical conditions, behaviors or traits that
make you more likely to develop a stroke. Having one or more risk factors does
not mean that you definitely will have a stroke, only that you are more likely to do
so. Take the at-risk stroke assessment to assess your risk of stroke.
Lab Screenings & Tests: HDL & Total Cholesterol ($5 each)
Total cholesterol levels are known to be related to Coronary Heart Disease (CHD).
Your total blood cholesterol is a measure of LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and
other lipid components. HDL levels are also important in assessing your risk of
CHD because HDL cholesterol - the “good” cholesterol - protects you against heart
disease by removing the LDL cholesterol out of your blood and keeping it from
building up in the arteries. A small sample of blood will be drawn from your arm
and your blood sample is then analyzed in a laboratory. You will receive a letter in
the mail within 2 weeks with your results. Your healthcare provider will use your
total cholesterol number when determining your risk for heart disease and how
best to manage it.
5.
Screening Guidelines for Women

Financial Abuse of Seniors
Financial crimes against the elderly occur in two areas:
1. Fraud committed by strangers
2. Financial exploitation by relatives and caregivers
The U.S. Department of Justice lists 12 types of fraud by strangers:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Prizes and sweepstakes
Home and auto repairs
Health remedies
Investments
Loans and mortgages
Travel
IRS/Tax Services
•
•
•
•
•
•
Charity contributions
Health, funeral, and life insurance
Confidence games
Telemarketing
Mail
Face-to-face contact
Victims may be reluctant to acknowledge or report a problem, and it can be difficult
to detect. Although we live in a high-tech age, postal mail is still a major source of
deceptive advertising and fraud. The Federal Trade Commission says there are
many variations but that these schemes are getting bolder.
• Don’t pay to collect
sweepstakes winnings
• Hold onto your money
• Look-alikes aren’t the real thing
• Phone numbers can deceive
The best tool against elder financial abuse is prevention.
• Do not ever give your personal information to someone on the phone
• Do not buy anything from a door-to-door salesman; do not answer the door
if you don’t have to
• No legitimate purchase or investment decision needs to be done immediately
• Credentials and referrals matter when dealing with professionals. When
possible, go local
• Just because Medicare or Medicaid agree to pay for something doesn’t mean
the service or item is legitimate
• When in doubt, get a second opinion - an ethical salesperson welcomes a
second opinion
• And finally, if it doesn’t feel right, trust your instinct!
Suspicious activity should be reported to the Kent County Sheriff’s Office
(410-778-2279). The toll-free number to report consumer problems or learn more
from the Federal Trade Commission is 1-877-382-4357.
Marty Knight, MBA, CFP®, Financial Advisor with Chesapeake Investment Advisors Inc., in Chestertown,

Is It Time To Stop Driving?
According to the AAA, senior drivers are at a higher risk of having a serious
collision per mile driven than any other age group except for those under age 25.
Drivers in their late 70s have about the same number of injury-involved crashes
per mile driven as drivers in their early 20s. And drivers age 85 and older are injured or killed in crashes at a higher rate than any other age group. This is due
primarily to increased fragility that comes with age.
The MIT Age Lab has found that the three most challenging physical aspects for
seniors are:
1. Turning one’s head and body to look behind when backing up
2. Getting in and out of the car
3. Turning one’s head to see blind spots when changing lanes
A brochure addressing drivers with dementia, entitled “Is It time to Stop Driving?”,
is available on line at www.mva.maryland.gov.

Hearing Loss
May is Better Speech and Hearing Month
Impaired hearing is one of the top three chronic diseases in the country. An
estimated 28 million Americans have hearing loss or “presbycusis”, including
one-third of those aged 65 -74 and over half who are 85 and older. Fewer than
25% of those impaired use hearing aids, though presbycusis has been shown to
decrease one’s quality of life and increase the incidence of depression in seniors.
Presbycusis is treatable in most cases.
Hearing impairment affects all of those who interact with the patient as well. When
talking with a person affected by presbycusis:
• Always face the person
• Speak as clearly as possible
• Use a slow, even rate of speech and facial expressions and gestures
• Keep all obstructions away from your face while talking
• Eliminate background noise if possible
• Don’t try to communicate from a different room
• Be patient and positive

Fall Prevention ... Simple Tips!
As we get older, physical changes and health conditions - and sometimes the
medications used to treat those conditions - make falls more likely. Falls are the
leading cause of death by accidental injury for those over 65. Six in ten falls occur
in the home and can lead to fear of falling, sedentary behavior, impaired function
or lower quality of life.
The Mayo Clinic offers six simple fall prevention strategies:
1. Make a fall-prevention plan and discuss it with your doctor
• Make a list of your prescription and over-the-counter medications and
supplements, or bring them with you to the appointment
• If you’ve fallen before, write down the details, including when, where and
how you fell
• Be prepared to discuss your health conditions and how comfortable you
are when you walk
2. Keep moving
If you avoid physical activity because you're afraid it will make a fall more
likely, tell your doctor. He or she may refer you to a physical therapist who
can create an exercise program aimed at improving your balance, flexibility,
muscle strength and gait.
3. Wear sensible shoes
Consider changing your footwear as part of your fall-prevention plan
Wear properly fitting, sturdy shoes with nonskid soles
4. Remove home hazards
• Remove boxes, newspapers, electrical cords and phone cords from
walkways
• Move coffee tables, magazine racks and plant stands from high-traffic
areas
• Secure loose rugs with double-faced tape - or remove loose rugs
• Use nonslip mats in your bathtub or shower

Fall Prevention
5. Light up your living space
• Place night lights in your bedroom, bathroom and hallways
• Make clear paths to light switches that aren't near room entrances
Consider trading traditional switches for illuminated switches
• Turn on the lights before going up or down stairs
• Store flashlights in easy-to-find places in case of power outages
6. Use assistive devices
•
•
•
•
•
Hand rails for both sides of stairways
Nonslip treads for bare-wood steps
A raised toilet seat or one with armrests
Grab bars for the shower or tub
A sturdy plastic seat for the shower or tub, plus a hand-held shower
nozzle for bathing while sitting down
If necessary, ask your doctor for a referral to an occupational therapist. Some
solutions are easily installed and relatively inexpensive.

including a large group from Heron Point. The walk, which went along the rail trail
from Wilmer Park to Lynchburg Street, raised $4,000 to combat the disease.
