Thank you for your patience while the parking lot was getting repaired. As time goes by and we see the progress of the
new building next door it amazes me at how much can be accomplished in one day. We look forward to the new residents that may be joining us in the near future.

as your dish. All
properly.

Please read the newsletter carefully, there is so much information in it that is very important. For instance Tuesday

Caffeine can act as a diuretic, so you may
experience a greater urgency to urinate after
drinking a caffeinated beverage.
 Even if you are able to fall asleep after
consuming coffee in the late afternoon or
evening, avoid doing so, as caffeine can
prevent you from getting restful sleep.
 An average 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee
contains between 90 and 200 milligrams (mg)
of caffeine, while an 8-ounce cup of black tea
has 15 to 60 mg of caffeine. The average 12ounce caffeinated soda has between 25 and 40
mg of caffeine.

Our Center uses many supplies on a daily basis.
At this time we welcome donations of
8 1/2” x 11” Copy Paper,
No. 10 Envelopes (4 1/8” x 9 1/2”)

INFORMATION FOR SENIORS...
Michigan’s Legislature Acts to Protect Seniors
In June, 2012, Governor Snyder signed ten bills
into law that are aimed at protecting Michigan
seniors from abuse or neglect. The new laws
include increased penalties for anyone convicted
of financially exploiting a “vulnerable adult,”
requirements that nursing home employees report
signs of abuse directly to the state, and creates a
“Mozelle Senior Alert” (similar to an Amber Alert
for missing children, but to assist in locating
missing seniors or vulnerable adults).
Scammers Target Seniors…
The United States Supreme Court ruled on the
constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, and
their decision was watched all over the country
by citizens and con artists alike. Unfortunately,
con artists are using the Supreme Court’s ruling
(and some of the confusion surrounding it) to
trick unsuspecting seniors into providing their
personal financial information—such as bank
account information or Social Security numbers.
The scam works like this—a con artist calls an
unsuspecting senior saying that, due to the
Supreme Court’s ruling on the Affordable Care
Act, they need to verify information to make sure
you still qualify for your health insurance or
Medicare. They may ask to verify credit card
numbers, bank account information, Social
Security numbers, or Medicare ID numbers. All
of this is a ruse to collect personal financial
information and commit identity theft.
Whatever the scam looks like, remember one rule
~ NEVER GIVE PERSONAL FINANCIAL
INFORMATION TO ANYONE THAT CALLS
YOU! This is true even if the person calling you
claims to be from the government or law
enforcement. The government, law enforcement,
and legitimate businesses will NEVER call you
out of the blue to ask you for any personal
financial information, so if anyone calls to ask for
this information (or even to “verify” information
they already seem to have), DO NOT provide
information and hang up the phone!
