By Jack Patrona, Senior Club Treasurer

One of the more prolific, but silent, abuses of the elderly may actually come from within their own family. Too often, a trusted caregiver (commonly an adult child) will quietly begin to use a senior’s bank account almost as their own or will even sell a parent’s asset(s), keeping the proceeds for themselves! They may even feel entitled because of the care they are giving. Without an advanced written voluntary agreement made while of sound mind and not under any kind of pressure, there is no justification for that behavior. It is theft. The more affluent seniors are at greater risk because they are more likely to live longer. But modest income or net worth is no guarantee of safety. If you feel that this may be happening to you or someone you know, you may need to contact Adult Protective Services in your county. APS agencies investigate reports of abuse of elders and dependent adults who live in private homes, apartments, hotels or hospitals. The contact number for your county’s APS can be found at http://www.cdss.ca.gov/agedblinddisabled/PG2300.htm. General information about adult protective services can be found at http://www.napsa-now.org/get-help/ . The phone number for Adult Protective Services in Orange County is (800) 451-5155 (24-hour hotline).

Healthy Balance with Dan Balance is a control system that enables us to maintain our vertical position in space. When a person says “I lost my balance” what is actually being described is a breakdown in interaction among various components of the balance system. The tangible sense of “balance” that we experience is a synergy that results from the combination of balance system components. A basic understanding of the balance control system can help us lower the risk of falling. This class will address factors involved with falling, how balance works, and techniques to keep you safe and mobile. For more information, please visit www.DanLayne.com. Free, register in class with instructor. Instructor: Dan Layne (Older Adults Program) Wednesdays, 2:00-3:30 p.m., Ongoing

2017 Senior Club Executive Board

Dear Members, It looks as though we may have a wet winter. We will probably have one because no one said we were! We have a great year planned so far, including our luncheons, entertainment, trips, and several other programs. Remember, anyone over fifty years old is invited to join the Senior Club and is encouraged to get involved.

“Give the World the Best You’ve Got” People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building someone could destroy overnight; build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; be good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis between you and your god, it was never between you and them anyway.

Poem by Kent M. Keith Yes, it is very important to get involved and do your best in everything you do. We are all part of this large family of seniors. Wally Stairs 2017 Club President
