MANY of us, 2s we
grow older, need help
with our daily activities.

Housework, cooking and
laundry may become more ur
Ing as we age. Getting Out to
go shopping of banking can
become a chore, and we may
have physical problems chai
make it impossible tor us to
do these tasks.

On the North Share, we
are Jucky that there are many
wars to get help when we
need it. Howe cannot manage
houschold tasks, bathing or
laundry, health officials may
send someone to help us out.

For errands and help with
financial matters, a friend or

family member will often help.

Don’t be atraid to ask. And if
nobody is close at hand, call
the Seniors’ One Stop Phone
Line at 983-3303 for advice.

Sometimes however, an
older person may be taken
advantage of by unscrupulous
business people, family mem-
bers, friends or strangers. You
may get a phone call from
tradesmen saving that they are
“going to be in vour neigh-
bourhood” and offering to
come by to look at your roof.
