Mt. Si Senior Center Renovation Project
If you have been by the Senior Center recently, you may have noticed that the Center is undergoing renovations. The new roof looks great and work on the ADA restrooms is starting. The building will also get a much needed new floor in the multi-purpose room, new ADA compliant entrance doors with no touch automatic door openers. We will also have a new big screen information station installed high on the lobby wall so that you can keep up-to-date on events and activities with just a glance from anywhere in the dining room. Don't forget to "Like" Mt. Si Senior Center's Facebook page to get updates and information.

September is National Senior Center Month
September is National Senior Center Month. This is our annual opportunity to showcase Mt. Si Senior Center and promote a positive image of aging.

The 2020 theme is: Delivering Vital Connections! The theme was chosen to highlight how Senior Centers deliver vital connections to support older adults aging well. During this pandemic fostering and maintaining your important social connections couldn't be more important. Mt. Si Senior Center continues to care for and connect the Seniors in our community. We would love to hear how you are doing.

Mt. Si Senior Center gears up for September Falls Prevention Event
Every year, Mt. Si Senior Center partners with health providers in King County to educate Seniors on how they can prevent a fall. Unfortunately, we all know someone who has been injured in a fall. Luckily, there are things we can do to reduce our risk of falling. As in years past, Mt. Si Senior Center will participate in a Falls Prevention campaign in September. Watch for updates about how you can get the information you need to make your living spaces safer and how to eliminate common trip hazards.

This year, we will deliver information in new ways, all while maintaining safe social distancing practices. We will have more details about our Falls Prevention event on our website and on our Facebook page. In the meantime, here is an interesting video on the subject. As always, stay safe out there!

MEALS TO GO FOR SENIORS

We offer both curbside pick up and delivery. To manage our resources efficiently, we are asking that seniors pre-register for a week's worth of lunches.

Between 8/3 and 8/7, we will take registration for seniors seeking lunches for 8/10 through 8/14. For more information please call us at 425-888-3434 ext 0. If you get our voice mail please leave your name and phone number.

If you have access to food and are able to provide a meal for yourself, we ask that you consider us saving a meal for someone else for whom this service is a serious need.

STAYING HEALTHY

Here are a few actions we recommend for our employees, the people we serve, and the broader community:

The best prevention for viruses like the flu also prevent the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and decrease the chance of getting sick. Please help us remind all to wash hands frequently while at home or visiting our programs in the community.

Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, with 60% alcohol, if soap and water are not available. Here are tips on good hand washing
Cough into a tissue or your elbow (not your hand), then throw tissue away and wash your hands.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid contact with people who are sick and stay home when you are sick.
Consult your healthcare provider if you or your loved one has health conditions that put you at increased risk.

More information can be found at the King County/ Seattle Public Health Website HERE.
