The three phases of the program are health screening, health education and individualized health counseling. These programs are designed to improve the quality of life for the older adult. The health screening component is for well older adults who are interested in health promotion, and prevention of disease. The health screening includes several screening procedures, health history, and health and wellness counseling. This program is not designed to replace the medical physical exam; rather, the health screening program is designed to assist the individual in learning more about health promotion. Group Blood Pressure Screenings are offered at various locations where older adults live and/or congregate. The health education component is a more intensive effort than the health screening, to inform individuals in the methods of taking responsibility for their own health status. The health education series includes monthly lectures and discussion of various disease processes and life style adaptions to maintain good mental and physical health. The individualized health counseling component involves a weekly open hour, when people may come to the Senior Center without an appointment, to have their questions and concerns answered. Again, this is designed for the well adult, and not for the individual who is experiencing difficulty with their current medical treatment plan. The Older Adult Health Program recognizes that the appropriate treatment for a person experiencing difficulty with their health should be seen and diagnosed by their physician. The Older Adult Health Program is a triphasic program committed to enhancing the quality of life for the older adult through health education and promotion of physical and social wellness . This program works in cooperation with the other programs offered by the Oshkosh Seniors Center. We are looking at decreasing the number of Blood Pressure Clinics because standards set at the National and State level say that unless there are specific problems people are encountering,blood pressures do not need to be taken more than quarterly. We will be attempting to therefore offer fewer clinics. This will free up time that can be spent on cutting toe nails of older people who are unable to cut their own. Results of a recent survey done by the center plus comments made over the years show us that many older people have problems cutting their own nails and could use some help with this . This will become part of the overall program. • rn rn o �' b in +.• O '-i N ~ -I O N • r--I 01 A N J . r-I N u L N q ..--• d as co C N r L Q) r O to L N C) LL. a a C O O L C L(1 C.(1 • b Y ;p 1 N N (V r i VD 4-I 01 O O CO u) O O ill O O d V 5- O K�CAL LI NT ► 1 111 ill 1111 •• 6,) L O O.
