Thankfully, with the help of the State ADRC grant and Federal Older Americans Act, the ADRC of Eau Claire County was able to provide our community with five different evidenced-based prevention classes last year. Classes such as Strong Bones, Stepping On, Living Well, Healthy Eating for Successful Living and Powerful Tools for Caregivers helped 428 individuals last year.

Did you know that the Older Americans Act helps fund Eau Claire County’s Nutrition Program? In 2016, with the help of Federal funding, we were able to serve nearly 70,000 meals to homebound seniors in Eau Claire County through the Meals on Wheels program!
(
The Aging & Disability Resource Center would like to thank Stella Pagonis and Lauri Malnory for their years of dedicated service on the ADRC Board! Both have served for the past 6 years and have brought a wealth of experience and passion for the ADRC’s programs and services.

Free Health Care (submitted by Meals on Wheels participant) “When Larry walked into the doctor’s office, the receptionist asked him what he had. Shingles he replied. So she took his name, address and insurance history information and told him to have a seat. A few minutes later, a nurse aide asked him what he had. Again, he replied Shingles. So she took his weight, height and medical history and told him to wait. The nurse came in and asked him what he had and he said Shingles. So she gave a blood test, cardiogram, took his blood pressure and told him to take off his clothes for the doctor. Finally, the doctor came in asked Larry what he had. Of course he said Shingles. The doctor asked where? Outside on the truck Larry replied. Where do you want them?� From Reminisce Magazine.
