127 SENIORS: Foot care important for seniors

At the last meeting of the 127 Senior Center, Felicia Agee, RN, from Sweet Southern Care came and provided the members with very helpful information about foot care. Feet change as we age, and it’s important to take good care of them.

After sharing some great tips for foot care, she offered her services to the members at the meeting. Many took her up on that offer and had their nails trimmed and corns and calluses filed and buffed smooth. Felicia provides in-home foot care for seniors. She is a licensed RN with the state of Tennessee. If you would like more information about Sweet Southern Care, Felicia can be reached at 615-281-2705.

The 127 Senior Center at 1460 S. Main St. opens at 8 a.m. every Friday. There’s coffee ready and many different games to play. It’s a fun time of fellowship, catching up with old friends and making new ones.

At 9:30 a.m., bingo starts with lots of fun prizes.

At 10:30 a.m., there’s a short business meeting so the members can find out about all the fun things coming up.

Once the meeting is over, the entertainment starts. Then, there’s a delicious lunch prepared by the volunteer ladies. At the last meeting, the members enjoyed a chicken casserole that was prepared by Annie Lewis. This was along with some delicious desserts prepared by volunteers who love to bake.
