The special meeting organized by Teresa Sitz to discuss
In-home Supportive Services (IHSS) and other services available in our community was very interesting and informative. Meghan Cosgriff and Linda Connor from the Department of Aging and Adult Services gave a presentation that also included information on the Family Caregiver Support Program, elder and dependent adult abuse, senior nutrition programs, the Kinship Caregiver Support Group, long-term care, health insurance counseling, the Senior Community Services Employment Program, legal services and many other issues and problems that their department can help with. Call 760-228-5219 to find out about all the assistance and referrals they can provide. The Department of Aging and Adult Services office is located behind the movie theater in Yucca Valley.

Handy Hint: WD-40 removes and prevents rust on anything made of metal. It also removes rust stains in your tub or shower. Another use for WD-40 is to coat oxidized terra cotta pots so they look like new!
