TRIAD Corner

The Danvers TRIAD Council is a

partnership which includes the Sheriff and

District Attorney of Essex County, the

Danvers Police and Fire Chiefs, the Council on Aging

and supportive services, and seniors. Is your house

number clearly visible from the street? Per Mass.

General Laws Chapter 148 Sec.59 homes and businesses

must have their premises number visible from the street.

This law is a result of the “911 System” when the

emergency phone call to the dispatcher shows the street

address, but no other description. You may have

installed a number, but if your home has been repainted

this summer or has new siding, the number may not

have been put back up. The Senior Center has numbers

available free of charge and volunteers are available to

install them. Remember when you call 911 for an

emergency every second counts for the EMT’s to locate

your home as quickly as possible.

8/9 DanversCARES About You! - DanversCARES

and families make healthy decisions, reducing

substances use, and supporting a safe and healthy

the work they do in Danvers! This ranges from

coordinating opportunities for young people to bringing

the community together in a united effort to address

substance abuse at our Light the Night Purple

Walk. You hear about the opiate overdoes epidemic

problem in the news all the time, but do you know what

is going on in your own community to help drug

prevention efforts? Do you know what youth these days

are actually involved in? Do you have children or

grandchildren that might want to be connected with

some of our innovative programs? Join us for an

interactive presentation on DanversCARES and our

Medicare Coverage of Diabetes Supplies

Some diabetic supplies are covered under Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) rather than Medicare Part D

(Drug Plans). These include: blood sugar (glucose) test strips and testing monitors, lancets and lancet devices,

insulin pumps and glucose control solutions for checking the accuracy of testing equipment and test strips.

These products are covered under Part B as durable medical equipment and must be purchased with a doctor’s

prescription from a Medicare-approved supplier or pharmacy. Not all pharmacies realize these supplies should be

billed to Medicare Part B.

In addition, some pharmacies, especially those that are not part of a large retail chain, may not participate in

Medicare Part B and therefore cannot bill the purchases to Medicare Part B. Always ask if your pharmacy

participates in Medicare Part B before purchasing diabetes supplies.

For further questions regarding Medicare Part B coverage of diabetes supplies, please contact the Danvers Council

on Aging SHINE counselor at 978-726-0208 or call 781-388-4845.

Join us at Hunt Nursing & Retirement (Lindall Street) on Wednesday, August 9th from

2:15-3:15 PM to enjoy the entertainment of Paul Hardy, Wednesday, August 23rd from

We Need Our Volunteers More Than Ever!

Did you know that the 60+ population is the fastest growing segment of the population? The growing need for

transportation to our senior population is placing an ever increasing demand on our Transportation Program.

During FY2016 over 15,330 rides were provided to various locations including medical appointments, physical

therapy, dialysis, adult and social day programs, shopping, banking, errands and other social activities. Many rides

that cannot be accommodated by our vans because of availability could easily be accommodated in a personal

vehicle. In response to this increasing need we are piloting a new “Volunteer Driven” Transportation Program by

replicating similar programs running successfully all over the country.

Transportation

Medical transportation is available to Danvers residents age 60 or older, and/or disabled

Danvers residents under the age of sixty. It is suggested that residents make transportation

requests as early as possible for scheduling purposes. Due to high demand for booked

appointments, we will get you to your appointment on time, however, you may need to wait

for a return ride home. Individuals in wheelchairs can be accommodated.

The suggested transportation donation is $1.50 each way ($3 round trip) donation for appointments within Danvers

and $2.50 each way ($5 round trip) donation for appointments to the adjoining communities of Peabody, Beverly

and Salem. For ease of donations, we are offering seniors the option to purchase a donation punch card for $30. You

may purchase a donation card at the front desk.

Please call Lorene to schedule a ride at 978-762-0208.

Here are some tips to follow during hot, humid weather

Slow down, avoid strenuous activity. Do not try to do too much on a hot

day. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing. Light colors will

reflect heat and sunlight and help maintain normal body temperature. Protect

your face with a wide- brimmed hat. Drink plenty of water regularly and

often, even if you do not feel thirsty. Attempt to stay hydrated. Limit intake

of alcoholic beverages. They can actually dehydrate your body. Eat

well-balanced, light, regular meals. Avoid high protein foods that increase

metabolic heat. Stay indoors as much as possible. If you do not have air

conditioning, stay on your lowest floor, out of the sun. Electric fans do not

cool the air, but they do help evaporate perspiration, which cools your body.

Go to a place where you can get relief from the heat, such as air conditioned

schools, libraries, theaters and other community facilities that may offer refuge during the warmest times of

the day. Check with your community for information about possible local ‘cooling centers’. Cover

windows that receive morning or afternoon sun with drapes, shades, awnings or louvers. Outdoor awnings

or louvers can reduce the heat that enters a home by up to 80%. Avoid too much sunshine. Sunburn slows

the skin’s ability to cool itself. If you are outside, use sunscreen lotion with a high SPF (Sun Protection

Factor) rating. Never leave children or pets alone in a closed vehicle. Check on family, friends and

neighbors.

Karen’s BA in Fine Arts promises classical drawing training (gesture, shading, composition, contour) with fun games that build

skills (5 lines and “The Lettering Trick.”) However it was her tiny drawings of family trips, that enabled her to draw anything

and everything…which you will also practice. Sketching is useful to locate information fast, to communicate ideas and goals,

and productive relaxation. She’ll bring her illustrated journals, and blank ones for purchase ($7 size 8 1/2 x 11, let us know at

phonecall news to medical visits to book recommendations. Class size: 9

Join us as we launch our Book Club.—We will meet the 3rd Monday evening each month from 5:30-7:30 PM. The first

revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette’s brilliant and

charismatic father captured his children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly.

But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and

didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed,

and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be home

less even as their children prospered. The group will choose all following books. Limited to 10. Please call the center at
