SENIOR HEALTH<br />
Improper Use of Medication<br />
Taking a prescription medication as directed<br />
by a doctor is generally safe and effective.<br />
Lately, though, there has been a rise in the<br />
number of older adults taking their medicines<br />
improperly, including for non-medical reasons<br />
and suffering the consequences with trips to<br />
the emergency room.<br />
Some people accidentally take medicines<br />
incorrectly, or they may forget to take their<br />
medicines, take it too often, or take the wrong<br />
amount. Another problem is having more<br />
than one doctor prescribing medication, but<br />
no one doctor monitoring them.<br />
It is important that you keep careful check<br />
on when you take your medicines, use a pill<br />
box,or a daily calendar to keep track. Also,<br />
don’t hesitate to discuss your medications<br />
with your doctor if you have any doubts, and<br />
whatever you do....don’t increase dosage<br />
without a doctor’s recommendation.<br />

low, and we are asking that you donate<br />
craft items to these dedicated ladies and<br />
gentlemen who give so generously of their<br />
time to help make the Senior Center a more<br />
pleasant place for all of us. Drop off items at<br />
the front desk.<br />
BUS SERVICE<br />
Did you know that the Senior Center operates<br />
four buses every day Monday through<br />
Friday. We are fortunate to partner with<br />
Smart and provide community transit for<br />
seniors or residents with disabilities that<br />
reside in Shelby or Utica and are members<br />
of the Senior Center. For medical appointments<br />
we travel north to 27 mile, south to<br />
18 mile, east to Romeo Plank and west to<br />
Livernois. For shopping we stay within<br />
Shelby and Utica. Bus tickets are $.50<br />
each way. Contact the Senior Center anytime,<br />
Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.<br />
to 5:00 p.m. Please note that we need two<br />
weeks advance notice for medical appointments<br />
and one week advance notice for<br />
personal appointments.<br />
TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE FOR<br />
EVENING EVENTS IF THERE IS ENOUGH<br />
INTEREST. CALL US OR STOP BY THE<br />
FRONT DESK IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF A<br />
RIDE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SIGN<br />
UP EARLY FOR ALL ACTIVITIES. THE<br />
LUNCH BUNCH, PARTICULARLY, FILLS<br />

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE<br />
GIVE US A CALL AT 586-739-7540.<br />

Seniors will soon pick up Medicare information<br />
at their local pharmacy regarding bene� ts<br />
available to them under the Affordable Care<br />
Act. A study by HHS Secretary, Kathleen<br />
Sebelius was released showing that an<br />
increasing number of senior citizens are<br />
using the pharmacy clinics popping up<br />
across the country. Drug stores providing<br />
these services include CVS, Walgreens,<br />
Walmart and Sam’s Club. They will be<br />
providing a range of Medicare materials on<br />
newly available preventive services, as well<br />
as savings on prescription drug spending<br />
in the donut hole coverage gap. If your<br />
pharmacy hasn’t begun distribution of these<br />
materials, please ask them when it will become<br />
available. To learn more about Medicare,<br />
visit www.medicare.gov or call 1-800-<br />
633-4227.<br />
