joints and bones stiff and can
make an awkward position difficult,
such as bringing your feet
up for proper foot care. Poor vision
also makes proper foot care
hard. Dr. Cooper will be here on
Wednesday, January 3rd from
9-11 to trim your toenails for
you. $30. at the Center and $50.
for a home visit. Appointments
are on a first come-first served
basis.

various requirements for different
situations, so we strongly suggest
you call the Center and speak
to Carol LaFreniere so we may
determine what documentation
you will need. After gathering the
required documentation, you will
be required to have a sit-down
meeting with Carol to complete
the application. Appointments
are necessary.
