The Telephone Tree program offers support services to older adults over the phone. Our volunteers make weekly social calls offering participants a chance to be heard by providing emotional support, companionship and a sense of community. Volunteers can also provide you with information and referral services as well as keep you informed about the programs and events in the community. It is a great way to stay connected with the community from your home. Call us today if you would like to receive weekly calls. For more information, please contact Nisa Moman

Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, nerve function, cell metabolism and DNA production. It can be found in meat, poultry, fish and dairy, or as a supplement. Your body can store vitamin B12 for many years so most individuals will not have a B12 deficiency. However, the following people may be more prone to deficiency: vegetarians/vegans, older adults, or people with digestive conditions that affect the absorption of nutrients. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue, anemia, muscle weakness, intestinal problems, nerve damage, and mood disturbances. Ask your physician or pharmacist whether you should be taking a supplement. Both B12 tablets and injections are available from our Pharmacists.

Choosing the right socks for fall is key to staying warm and comfortable. Opt for wool or wool blends, like Merino, which regulate temperature and wick moisture better than cotton. Thicker, cushioned socks are ideal for boots and outdoor activities, while medium-weight ones work for everyday wear. Crew or knee-high socks provide better coverage as temperatures drop. Fall offers a chance to experiment with earthy tones and stylish patterns, but prioritize function with moisture-wicking and anti-odor properties. The right socks will keep your feet cozy, dry, and fashionable throughout the season’s unpredictable weather.

This October, as you prepare for Thanksgiving feasts, keep your health in focus by consulting your pharmacist. They can offer advice on managing dietary indulgences, such as suggesting heart-healthy alternatives and tips for balancing your meals. If you’re on medication, check in to ensure your prescriptions are up-to-date and discuss any potential interactions with holiday foods. Your pharmacist can also provide guidance on staying hydrated and managing stress, which can be elevated during the holiday season. By working with your pharmacist, you can enjoy a healthier, more balanced Thanksgiving while staying on track with your wellness goals.
