​Can We Help? 

Jean George is our Linwood Community Resource Advocate. Her position is funded through an ELCA grant.  There are many programs in the Fox Cities that help older adults live safely, independently and age in place.   Jean’s role is to help older adults overcome the barriers in accessing these programs.  Barriers that many face include:    

 

Lack of knowledge of the programs available 

Lack of computer skills or transportation allowing access to these resources 

Hearing, visual and mobility impairments  

No family member or close friend to help navigate programs  

 

Programs and information that Jean can help you access include: 

transportation, housing and energy assistance, scam prevention, fall prevention, foot care, veteran services, advance care planning, food banks and meal delivery services, medical equipment loans, representative payee options, medication delivery, Medicare education and access to support groups for grief, visual and hearing impairments.  

 

Jean can help identify your needs, access your barriers to meeting those needs with as little stress as possible. This program is meant to help you, your older church members, AND your family, friends, and neighbors.  For more information, please contact Jean at resource.fvlhomes@gmail.com or 920-734-7225 Ext 7.

The Value of the Mediterranean Diet

Join us on Monday, May 19th at 11 AM as Yon Abel, our Wellness Coordinator presents information on the Mediterranean Diet. This diet is highly recommended because of its overall health benefits. It has been shown to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, help regulate blood sugar, provide a high intake of antioxidants, and help with weight management. It also has been shown to provide the nutrients essential for brain health and has been associated with a longer lifespan.

"Waltraud-A True Story of up in Nazi Germany"

Please join us at Linwood Community on Monday, June 16 at 1 pm to hear author Tammy Borden speak about her mother's real-life story of survival during one of the darkest chapters in history.  Named after her mother, “Waltraud - A True Story of Growing up in Nazi Germany”, her story shows us just how resilient the human spirit can be.
