Aluminum Ramps Needed
The Geauga County Department on Aging’s Home Safety Program is seeking pre-owned aluminum wheelchair ramps for local seniors.
Some residents no longer need the aluminum ramps that they have had installed at their homes. The department on aging receives constant calls from seniors who need ramps installed at their homes.
The home safety program cannot keep up with the number of ramps needed because new ramps are very expensive, and Medicare does not pay for these adaptations.
To donate a ramp for removal and reuse, call the department on aging at 440-279-2135.
Matter of Balance Classes
Geauga Department on Aging and University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center are sponsoring Matter of Balance classes to Geauga seniors 60 and older interested in improving balance, flexibility and strength and learning how to identify and control their fear of falling.
Class will be held every Monday and Friday, March 3-28, from 1-3 p.m. at the Chardon Senior Center, 470 Center St., Building 8, Chardon.
To register, call Melissa Wheeler at 440-279-2167. Class is free for all registered seniors.
