Blood Pressure Clinics
Cholesterol Testing
With a ten-minute appointment and a few drops
of blood from a fingertip, you can know your
numbers for total cholesterol, good (HDL) and
bad (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides and
glucose. This form of testing does not require
fasting. These numbers, along with a few other
risk factors, can help your provider determine
your personal cardiovascular risk. The cost is
$10.00, payable at the appointment. Call the
Senior Center to make an appointment to
have your cholesterol tested.
Foot Care
Regular Foot Care and Diabetic Foot Care
The Senior Center offers appointments for
regular and diabetic foot care. Foot care is
provided by an APRN and includes a foot
inspection and nail cutting. Cost is $15.00 and

Call the Senior Center to make your ear wax removal

prep procedure and at the same time, pick up the paperwork that must
be filled out and brought in at the time of your appointment.
At least five days prior to your appointment, you will need to
purchase Debrox wax remover or hydrogen peroxide. You will need
to lie on your side with your ear up, place 5-10 drops of Debrox wax
remover, or fill ear with hydrogen peroxide, and let sit for five
minutes. After five minutes, allow to drain out and repeat with other
ear. This must be done daily for the five days before your
appointment. (Do not count the day of your appointment. So if your
appointment is on Wednesday, start with the ear wax prep on Friday.)
Do not poke ears with Q-tips! Call the Senior Center for more
information.
Recycle Your Old Cell Phones!
Do you have old cellular phones that you don’t know how to properly dispose
of? Keep them out of landfills by donating them to The Plainville Senior
Center. The NCOA (National Council on Aging) has partnered with Cellular
Recycler to help raise money for Senior Centers all around the USA. The
Donation will go directly to benefit our Dial-A-Ride program here at the Senior
Center. The donation box is located in the hallway between the main office and
billiards room on the table. Please drop ONLY cellular phones in the box!
Please no phone chargers or any other type of electronic device. Thank you to
all who have donated. The money received from these cellular phones goes

Learn about the issues being debated at the State
Capitol. Bring your questions and concerns.
Advanced Directives: Living Will, Health Care Directives, Power of Attorney
Thursday, June 16, 10:00 a.m.
Attorney Marilyn Denny, Greater Hartford Legal Aid will review and explain Advance Directives which are
simple legal papers that help you control decisions made on your behalf should you become ill or incapacitated. She
will take questions during the presentation and will provide documents needed for the preparation and execution of
these documents. Once all documents are received and prepared by Greater Hartford Legal Aid, Attorney Denny
will schedule appointments (at the Senior Center) at a later date to have documents signed and notarized.
Advance Directives include a living will, health care directives and power of attorney. A living will is a
declaration of your wish to use or refuse life support systems such as respirators and feeding tubes when you are
terminally ill or in a coma. A living will becomes effective only when you are no longer able to communicate your
wishes yourself.
A health care representative is someone you appoint to make most healthcare decisions on your behalf,
including whether to use, withhold, or withdraw life support systems. Your representative can speak to doctors for
you only if you are unable to make or communicate decisions yourself. Your representative is supposed to tell the
doctor what medical treatment you would have wanted, not what your representative thinks would be best for you.
Power of Attorney can help you with your business and personal matters when you become incapacitated.
There are two types of Power of Attorney: Durable Power of Attorney which becomes effective immediately and
continues after you become incapacitated and Springing Power of Attorney which becomes effective only if and
when you become incapacitated. The Program is free and open to the public; please call the Senior Center to
register beginning June 1.

Plainville Senior Center At Risk List
The Senior Center maintains a list of folks who depend on electricity to maintain optimum health. We
refresh this list throughout the year so we can be certain that such folks will be safe during a power outage/weather
event.
It is everyone's personal responsibility to have a plan in the event of a power outage. We share our At-Risk
list with the Plainville Fire and Police Departments to ensure that no one's health is in jeopardy during a weather
emergency.
Please call the Center at 860-747-5728, if you wish to have your name added to the At-Risk List. Bette and
Stephanie are available to help you develop a plan for power outages/ weather emergencies.

Calling All Plainville Senior Center Idols
Are you a closet singer and would like to express yourself with other people? Well, we have a program for
you!!! FLASH MOB singing! A FLASH MOB is a group of people that meet in a public place for the purpose of
entertaining others for a short period of time. It is a surprise and puts smiles on the faces of people that are there.
Go to YouTube and type in Flash Mob Vocals. You’ll see a variety of them.
We have been rehearsing at the Bristol Senior Center on Thursdays from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. The song we are
rehearsing for the mall is, “We Are The World” by Michael Jackson. Everyone gets a CD of the song so you can
practice at home or play it in your car. At the local venues, we sing songs like God Bless America, My Country Tis
of Thee, Yankee Doodle Dandy and When Johnny Comes Marking Home to name a few. It was so much fun to see
the smiles when we sang.
There are 10 other senior centers involved in this, and we will be performing at a mall around Connecticut
sometime in the fall or winter. For more information, you can contact Eileen Cyr at 860-329-1825.
