Kidney Health in Hot Weather
Our kidneys are vital for maintaining overall health and well-being. They work like a filter, removing waste and extra fluid from the bloodstream. They also help control blood pressure and maintain the balance of electrolytes and fluid. Kidneys contribute to the activation of vitamin D, essential for calcium absorption and bone health.

On May 21, the Fairfax Area 50+ Technology Committee, the Department of Family Services, and the Department of Neighborhood and Community Services announced the winners of the Fairfax Area Student Shark Tank Technology Challenge.
Students from the Fairfax area were challenged to develop an innovative device or app that will have a positive impact in the lives of older adults, adults with disabilities, or caregivers. The event challenges students to develop innovative technological solutions that can help people live independently and make the world more user-friendly. Winners received cash prizes donated by INTEGRITYOne Partners, proud event sponsor for the ninth year.
“This year the students tackled some of the top concerns of older adults, those with disabilities and actually many people in general,” said Cathy Cole, Chair of the Fairfax Area Commission on Aging. “The topics they addressed were ripped from the headlines: avoiding scams, wheelchair accessibility, fear of falling, managing diabetes, managing isolation. They are all currently in the news and these students were paying attention. May is Older Americans Month, and the theme is "Powered by Connection." These projects addressed the ability to be, and stay, connected.”

ScamCops, a platform developed to help educate and empower people about scams, was awarded first place in the technology challenge. Developed by students from Fairfax High School, ScamCops offers educational resources, real-time scam alerts, and a collaborative community to share experiences and insights. ScamCops uses a team of knowledgeable “Cops” who are trained to educate the community about scams. The platform leverages artificial intelligence which ensures instant responses through its dynamic network of dedicated individuals.
“ScamCops' winning solution exemplifies the spirit of innovation and compassion we encourage through this competition,” said Pete Lamont from INTEGRITYOne Partners. “We are immensely proud of all the students for their compassion and willingness to improve the lives of others. Their projects not only showcased their technical skills but also their deep empathy and desire to make a meaningful difference in the community.”

Second place was awarded to the team who developed Odyssey, a mobile app that finds venues with wheelchair-accessible entrances. More than 65 million people worldwide use wheelchairs, and the mobile app provides comprehensive information about the accessibility of the places nearest to the user’s location.

McLean High School and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology
Third place winners developed Gaitway, a virtual reality (VR) app that simulates a three-dimensional environment that can help address common mobility issues. Gaitway imports VR videos and scenes from daily life, cities, and home activities to simulate walking. Multiple levels are embedded into the app to create the feeling of the rehabilitation process, becoming a game. It presents users with small mobility tasks before extended walking simulations.
Rujvi Thakkar and Dhaya Kumaresan from Langley High School received an Honorable Mention for DiaBuddy, a comprehensive digital companion for individuals living with diabetes. The user-friendly platform aims to streamline diabetes management by providing medication reminders and community support, while integrating with continuous glucose monitoring devices.
Empowerment Hub, designed by Soham Rajeshirke and Sahas Rajeshirke from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, also received an Honorable Mention. Empowerment Hub helps older adults and adults with disabilities access a clickable list of resources they may need along with the ability to call emergency services. A second phase of the app will leverage artificial intelligence to understand personal needs.

The Fairfax Area Commission on Aging (COA) and the Fairfax Area Disability Services Board (FA-DSB) are collaborating to host community forums seeking input to increase support for Fairfax County’s residents aged 50 and older with disabilities. The purpose of the forums is to identify systemic gaps in service and/or barriers faced by Fairfax County residents with disabilities. The community forums serve as an initiative of the SHAPE the Future of Aging Plan, whose goal is to guide Fairfax County and community-based organizations in evaluating and meeting the needs of older residents, adults with disabilities, and caregivers, now and in future years.
Two virtual community forums will be held via Zoom:
Space is limited. To attend, register by visiting bit.ly/45jGcOt.
Registrants will receive an email with access instructions. To request reasonable ADA accommodations, call Ann Kim at 703-324-7486/TTY 711, or email Ann.Kim@fairfaxcounty.gov.
COA and FA-DSB members will facilitate the community forums around the SHAPE topics of Services for Older Adults and Family Caregivers, Housing and Neighborhood Supports, Access to Mobility Options, Personal Well-being, and Economic Stability and Planning.
Feedback collected at the forums will be used by the FA-DSB to inform the Board of Supervisors as to the issues faced by the community. Information collected might additionally be used to help develop future FA-DSB initiatives.
The SHAPE the Future of Aging strategic plan supports continuing efforts to make the Fairfax area an excellent place to age well. It is aligned with the Fairfax Countywide Strategic Plan and One Fairfax. It also supports the purpose of the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging, which includes providing information about services for aging, disability, and caregiving in Fairfax County to enable older residents to age in place with dignity and safety.
The COA and the FA-DSB are composed of community volunteers appointed by the elected officials of Fairfax County and the cities of Falls Church and Fairfax. The COA advocates for the needs of older adults and taps their potential to enrich the community by advising the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging on developing and coordinating community services, policies, programs, and actions affecting older adults in the Fairfax area.
The FA-DSB advocates to include people with physical and sensory disabilities into mainstream community life by identifying, communicating, and advocating their diverse capabilities and needs to state and local governments and the private sector; and to help and provide resources to meet their needs.

The Fairfax County Department of Family Services is honored to celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Signed into law on July 26, 1990, the ADA ensures that persons with disabilities are afforded the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. It does so by prohibiting discrimination within the context of employment, telecommunications, and places of public accommodations, such as restaurants and movie theatres.
In Fairfax County, 8% of residents report living with a disability. That’s approximately 92,000 individuals. This number is even higher at the national level. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that up to 1 in 4 adult Americans have a disability. Fairfax County recognizes the importance of this monumental law and is committed to ensuring that its programs and services are delivered in the most accessible and integrated manner possible.
The National ADA Anniversary Celebration takes place on July 26, 2024. You can participate by visiting the ADA anniversary webpage: adaanniversary.org. There you can learn more about this important law, celebrate the anniversary, and share information.

As technology continues to develop and evolve, many family caregivers have found various technology platforms that help their overall wellness as caregivers. There are apps, devices, virtual support, and more, that contribute to maintaining a healthier balance as a caregiver.
One example of the positive impact of technology for caregivers is medication management. There are popular reminder apps to help manage medication schedules, dosages, refill reminders, potential interactions, and more. In addition, medication devices have been developed, such as smart pill dispensers that can automatically sort and dispense medication, which can increase accuracy. Another example of the benefit of technology includes telehealth appointments, which can be a great tool for caregivers that helps save time while they receive timely medical advice. Virtual support groups are also beneficial, allowing caregivers to connect with others from their homes or on-the-go to receive caregiving advice, resources, and information, and share their own experiences. As technology continues to expand, caregivers are encouraged to find ways to utilize technology to support themselves and their loved ones. If you wish to learn more about caregiving resources, call our Aging, Disability, and Caregiving Resources Line at 703-324-7948 or visit FairfaxCounty.gov/OlderAdults.

Many residents in long-term care (LTC) facilities can sometimes feel alone, isolated, and powerless. As a mandated program under the Older Americans Act, the Northern Virginia Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program (NVLTCOP) is often called on to assist residents and consumers to advocate for their rights to ensure quality of care and quality of life. The NVLTCOP needs volunteers who can advocate for the rights of residents in LTC facilities and help them with concerns that they are unable to resolve alone. If you possess skills in listening, communicating, problem solving, empathy and wish to help residents, please consider becoming a Volunteer Ombudsman. We seek those who are willing to complete a comprehensive initial three-day training, commit to a minimum of one year of service, and who can devote at least four hours per week to assisting residents at assigned facilities close to home or work. In addition, each volunteer will be required to participate in ongoing training opportunities throughout their tenure with the NVLTCOP.
For more information about NVLTCOP’s volunteer program, or other nursing facility and assisted living concerns, please call the NVLTCOP at 703-324-5861, TTY 711, or contact Claire Yeomans by email at Claire.Yeomans@fairfaxcounty.gov.

Heat does not affect everyone equally. As people get older, the body tends to not adjust as well to sudden temperature changes. This, combined with the fact that older adults are more likely to have chronic medical conditions that require prescription medicines that alter the body’s ability to control temperature or sweat, make older adults at an increased risk for heat-related illnesses during the summer months.
Actions you can take to stay cool as an older adult in extreme heat:
