Dear Seniors,
Fuel Assistance: WCAC will be visiting the center on November 16th & January 11th from 9:302:30 for new applicants. Please call the center to make your appointment or to see if you qualify.
Booster Vaccinations: Boosters for Immune Compromised individuals started in September. If you need assistance signing up for a booster or you still need a vaccination we would be happy to assist you. Please call us at 5084762283 Expiration Dates: Most people were spending the first part of 2020 stocking up on groceries. Make sure to check expiration dates on your can goods and dry items as many things could have expired before you were able to consume them.
Medication Confusion: It happens to all of us including me. We get busy and have to think did I take that one? Thanks' to our fire department we have pill boxes available at the center. They are free and can really make a difference in remembering if you have or have not taken your medication.
Medical Equipment: We have medical equipment available at the center if you need a walker, wheelchair, shower chair, cane or a commode. If you would like to
donate equipment please call us first to see if the item is needed.
Please do not leave anything on the ramp.
Happy Holidays!
Patrice Rousseau
Director/Outreach Case Manager
