PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Older Adult Health Program is a triphasic program for the well
older adult. 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 pro-
motion. Group Blood Pressure Screenings are offered at various locations
where older adults live and/or congregate.
The health education component is 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 adaption 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 treat-
ment for a person experiencing difficulty with their health should be
seen and diagnosed by their physician. The Nurse does act as an
advocate for clients who hace difficulty getting in to see 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 pro-
gram works in cooperation with the other programs offered by the
Oshkosh Seniors Center.
Nail cutting will be continued as it is a needed service by many older
persons who for various reasons cannot cut their own nails.
In our effort to reach out to the community, we will continue to
work with apartment complexes , meal sites , nursing homes and neighbor-
hood centers in offering health screening education on a mobile basis.
