Hearts In Motion Walking’

Seniors afraid to
leave Lions Gate

From page 28
Eighty-one per cent of

seniors. surveyed reported .

that. they take prescription
drugs, and 78% say they take
some. kind of over-the-
counter medication. Many

had concerns. about . side’

effects and were unaware of
problems that could arise
when. dnugs, certain foods, or
-alcohoi are used together.

More recently, a survey
on the topic of hospital dis-
charge procedures resulted in
a lively discussion with staff
of Lions Gate Hospital as to
how ‘the system might be
improved.

Many seniors are’ afraid
of going home from the hos-
pital, especially if they live
alone. They want to’ be
assured that they. will have
assistance when needed.”

These discharged patients
may be confused as to:

@ what they physically.can
or cannot do; |.

&@ what medications to take;:
® how to get help in an
emergency. :

Information. from — the
council is passed on to the
North Shore Health Beard
and agencies providing Ser
vices to seniors.

If you have ideas about
how ‘to help’ seniors: remain
healthy and independent or if.
you are a senior with a spe-

cific concern, please call the

Lionsview office’ at 985-"

ning Society is a’ “non-profit

retized people who want to
