Seniors just home from the hospital or recovering from illness are eligible to have hot lunches delivered to their home. Frozen meals are also available. Please call the Sumner Senior Center and speak with Lindy Kurtz, our Meal Site manager, for more information. A suggested donation is $2.00 per meal; however, payment is not a prerequisite for receiving meals.

HEALTH SERVICES

Blood Pressure Checks

Senior Foot Clinic
Clinic staff provide foot care on a pedicure level. They can trim and file toenails, buff corns, and calluses, and monitor any other foot problems for diabetics and clients with poor circulation. The staff will refer clients with problems to their family physician or podiatrist. Persons age 60 and older can utilize this service. Fees are based on a sliding fee scale based on family size and income. No one will be refused because of inability to pay. You must make an appointment at least one month in advance.
