Safe Driving for SeniorsOnce drivers reach 80 years of age, every two years they are required to:• Take a vision test• Undergo a driver record review• Participate in a 45-minute Group Education Session (GES)• If necessary, take a road test
Safe driving tips:
• Some medications prescribed by health care professionals or sold over the counter can affect your ability to drive. Consult your physician or pharmacist to know the effects of your medication on driving
• Road safety is a joint responsibility. Do your part, drive according to weather conditions and follow the rules of the road. Be cautious while driving around pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists
• If you’re experiencing driver fatigue, pull off the road, find a safe spot to park and have a rest. Driving while drowsy can be just as dangerous as impaired driving
• Have your vehicle checked on a regular basis to make sure everything is working properly
Did you know… Ontario’s senior driver programs help keep you driving as long and as safely as possible

Functional FitnessExercise for functional fitness is key to improving the quality of life and independence in later years. Being able to perform everyday activities (e.g. housework, grocery shopping, personal care) requires functional movements. Walking, standing, stair climbing, bending, reaching and lifting are activities of daily living. Sufficient strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and coordination are important for these activities.
Home exercises:
1. Seated climb; lift your knee, and reach up with the opposite arm
2. Stair climb; hold the railing when taking the stairs
3. Standing; lift a weight in each hand with elbows bent and at your side
4. Marching on the spot; hear yourself breathe, and still be able to talk
Did you know… being active for at least 150 minutes per week where you hear yourself breathing a little more can help with physical endurance and well- being

Protect Yourself OnlineOur devices fill us in on the latest news, give us something to laugh at, and as we’ve experience in 2020, they can help us through some tough times and keep us connected. But there are risks. Cyber security can seem complicated, but you don’t need to be an expert to stay safe.
Adopt these simple habits:
• Don’t share passwords
• Make each password unique and complex
• Allow updates to install automatically
• Update your privacy and security settings to secure your accounts
• Don’t use social media to log in to online accounts
• Watch out for phishing messages. Phishing is fake emails and texts that look like they’re from authentic companies
• Do not respond to suspicious emails or click suspicious links
• Use up-to-date anti-virus software
• Use USB sticks purchased by you or someone you know
• Don’t use USB sticks on untrusted computers
• Turn on security features for data stored online
Did you know… as the number of things that you can do on the internet increases, so do the potential cyber-related risks and dangers?

Service CanadaMany frauds and scams attempt to mimic real federal government services to gain access to your personal and financial information.
You should be vigilant when a person claiming to be a Service Canada or 1 800 O-Canada employee requests personal information. When in doubt, contact 1 800 O-Canada (1-800-622-6232) and ask them to verify the validity of any communication you have received.
To protect yourself against fraud:
• Be suspicious if an individual ever asks you to pay taxes or other fees via an email, a call or text message
• Keep your address current with all government departments and agencies
• Protect your Social Insurance Number; it is not a piece of ID
• Report the theft of your Social Insurance Number by contacting Service Canada at 1-866-274-6627
If you suspect you are a victim of fraud, contact your local police service or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by calling 1-888-495-8501.

Emergency PreparednessAcross Canada, we face a number of hazards, which can vary from region to region. The types of emergencies that could occur are; power outage, severe summer weather, health emergencies, winter storms and hazardous materials incidents.
If you live on your own, you need to have supplies in a 72 hour kit in case you need to shelter in place. Familiarize themselves with all escape routes and location of emergency doors/exits in your home in case you have to evacuate. You should have the following items packed in a Go-Bag in advance, in case you need to leave quickly:
• Assistive devices such as canes, walkers, hearing aids, breathing apparatus, etc.
• Prescription eyeglasses & footwear
• Extra dentures and cleanser
• Extra medication, supplements and a list of your prescriptions
• Personal identification and a list of numbers and names for doctor(s), case worker(s), senior’s group contact person, etc.
Did you know… that everyone needs to prepare to be self-reliant for at least three (3) days immediately after or during an emergency?
Be ready. For more information: https://www.emergencymanagementontario.ca/english/home.html

Elder AbuseEveryone has a responsibility to identify and prevent financial elder abuse. It is the misuse of an older adult’s money or other financial assets without their knowledge or permission.
Some older adults may not realize that they are victims because the abuser is often someone they know, like a caregiver or family member.
Protect your money
1. Choose your power of attorney carefully. This person could make financial or health-related decisions on your behalf
2. Do not lend money under pressure. You have the right to refuse a loan request and not feel guilty about it
3. Read all financial documents before signing. Ask questions and take your time. You may get a second opinion from a professional
Did you know… financial abuse is the one of the most common forms of elder abuse in Canada
