Sages & Seekers Joins ONEgeneration
Two Leading Nonprofits: ONEgeneration and Sages & Seekers, come together to Expand Intergenerational Programs in Los Angeles County.
We are excited to announce the official integration of Sages & Seekers, a nationally recognized intergenerational program bringing together elders and youth, as an official Program of ONEgeneration! This thoughtful and intentional integration would not have been possible without the help and support of Elly Katz, Jonathan Zeichner, and our partners at the Nonprofit Sustainability Initiative.
We look forward to starting this new exciting chapter as we continue to enrich and support intergenerational communities for all ages!

Intergenerational Daycare | | |
Throughout August, ONEgeneration's Preschoolers and their adult neighbors worked together on various creative projects using different media. In one project, they collaborated to paint rocks found in their environment. They also created a unique painting on foil paper, and ocean sensory bags. A special highlight was a musical performance by a childcare dad, who delighted everyone by playing the children’s favorite songs on the piano. The month concluded with a heartwarming pancake breakfast in celebration of Senior Citizens Day, bringing everyone together. | |

Brace yourselves for changes to Part D plans in 2025 due to the Inflation Reduction Act.
The Inflation Reduction Act made many improvements to Part D plans.
The newest positive change is the reduction of the out-of-pocket maximum from $8000 in 2024 to $2000 for 2025. This will greatly benefit people on an expensive drug regimen.
The downside is that Part D plans will be forced to absorb much more in drug costs.
For 2024 Part D plans in California went up an average of 34%
For 2025 we expect rate hikes, drug list reductions, increased drug restrictions and fewer plan choices.
Do NOT call your agent now, we will not have clarity and cannot discuss alternative plans until after October 1.
NOTE: Some part D plans are dropping agents. For those plans/carriers agents will no longer be able to represent you. Wellcare made an official announcement August 23. If you have Wellcare Part D and were assisted by an agent, you might consider calling Wellcare and expressing your displeasure at losing the services of your agent.
What should you do?
1. Watch for communications from your health plan. In September you should receive your Annual Notice of Change. This document will spell out any changes in your plan. You may also receive notifications that some of your drugs will no longer be covered or will be subject to new restrictions. Please open your mail and email.
2. Don’t immediately think of changing to another plan. Every plan will be under these pressures, and we don’t know if there will be any “safe havens” to switch to.
3. In September it would be prudent to load all your drugs into your mymedicare.gov account or whatever platform your agent uses. This will allow price comparisons based on your drug regimen. Paul Davis uses a program called Lead Advantage Pro to shop.
4. Plans release information October 1, but we find it’s best to wait until October 15 for the dust to settle to start comparing plans.
5. The Annual Election Period runs from October 15th to December 7th. This is the only time of year you can easily enroll in or change Part D prescription drug plans.
#6. When shopping for a Part D plan you need to wait until AFTER OCTOBER 1st and then double check after October 15th:
- Look at the “preferred pharmacies” for your plan. Even within preferred network, prices can vary.
- Look at Good RX for a reality check on prices. Sometimes their prices are lower than on a Part D plan.
- Make sure all your drugs are on your plan’s formulary (drug list).
- If your drugs are on your plan’s formulary, check to see if there are any restrictions such as Step Therapy, Quantity Limits or Prior Authorization requirements. These can limit access to your medications. You can ask for an exception or appeal these restrictions.
-
If your drugs are NOT on your plan’s formulary have you had any formulary exceptions? Call your existing carrier, and ask if that exception will continue through the end of 2025. If you are unsure, call and ask if any of your drugs are presently covered as an exception and whether that exception will continue.
- If your drugs have been dropped from the formulary call your plan right away and request an exception for 2025. They may put you off until later this year, but be demanding about needing a decision prior to December 7th.
- Ask your existing plan run an illustration of your drug costs for 2025.
-
Once you’ve researched your existing plan, you can better compare with other plan options.

ONEgeneration's Grandparents As Parents Program took some of the children of GAP caregivers to Mono Lake to participate in the OEC Program. The Mono Basin Outdoor Education Center connects Los Angeles youth with the source of their water through multi-day trips to Mono Lake that focus on watershed education through hands-on learning and stewardship activities. Through a combination of curriculum-based education, outdoor activities, and restoration projects, the OEC program teaches participants about watersheds and ways they can be impacted by human activities. The GAP kids enjoyed their time and benefited from bonding with other kids who also reside in kinship care. GAP would like to thank the Mono Lake Committee, the OEC Manager Santiago Escruceria and volunteer Manuela Martinez for making this experience possible for our participants. | |

THERE’S VROOM IN ME
a poem by Norman Molesko
I’ve turned on the ignition,
put my car into drive,
took my foot off the brake,
stepped on the gas.
My car barely started
with a putt, putt, putt,
picked up some oomph,
zoomed ahead with a vroom.
Several days later I had begun
to garden under the summer sun.
I became weak and exhausted.
I lost my vroom.
Deep within my chest,
my breathing was labored,
as when my car went
putt, putt, putt.
I sat down to rest awhile,
drank a pint of water,
and waited around patiently
for my vroom to resume.
