Nora’s News ~ Come Together….Right Now!
I am writing Nora’s News in a quiet senior center, it just does not seem right! I miss you all! We
are definitely in trying times and uncharted territory for our community, county, state, country, and
world. I do believe that we are coming together in a way that will keep our community safe and
healthy. Even though it is not easy to isolate, and isolation goes against everything we talk about
in staying healthy, we must do this to insure we get through this coronavirus with our people safe
and sound. This is a global issue like no other I have ever experienced. Maybe it has to happen
so our world will come together!
The sacrifices we are making at this time are not easy, but if we are able to save one person’s life,
it is completely worth it! There are some things you can do with the down time, for sure clean
closets and drawers, which is what I would do if I was sent home. Also, be sure you stay active,
maybe put on YouTube for exercise videos; like yoga, dance or aerobics. Practice meditation and
mind fullness (that is always a tough one for me) and of course, pick up a good book or check out
some pod casts! You can also check on a friend or two via telephone. Watch some comedies on
television; remember that it is good to laugh, when we laugh it produces endorphins which are
good for our brains. Remember to be kind to your adult children, they are checking on you because
they love you, and want you to stick around awhile!
Even though we cannot be near one another at this time, remember we are all interdependent, and
keeping the safe social distancing will allow us to come back together as soon as possible. Our
staff at The Center at Founders Village Senior and Community Center are available to assist via
telephone Monday through Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm. Hop On Senior Transportation is operating.
And currently our congregate meal program is distributing five frozen meals on Thursdays to our
senior residents to take home to prepare in their microwave or oven. Meals on Wheels Orange
County is doing a phenomenal job in making sure our seniors have food. The suggested
contribution continues to be $3 per meal. Our city officials, and our outstanding employees are
doing everything possible to keep our community safe and healthy.
Our volunteers are usually the ones to assist in keeping The Center going, again, it is so strange
not having our core group of volunteers here making GREAT stuff happen! It is April, Volunteer
Appreciation month, and even though we do not know when we will be able to formally
acknowledge our volunteers, we would be amiss to not mention our fabulous group of dedicated
individuals that give so freely. Our volunteers are truly the HEART of The Center at Founders
Village Senior and Community Center. On behalf of our team at The Center, thank you to our
volunteers, who are our extended family, and you mean the world to us!
“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” Elizabeth Andrew
Through these difficult times, let’s try to stay in a joyful state of mind. On behalf of our staff, please
know you are all in our thoughts, and want you back to The Center as soon as possible. We will
get through these difficult times, and come back together with lots of stories to share!
Take good care and I’ll see you around The Center hopefully very soon!

Five Ways to Stay Mentally Healthy
1. Keep in Touch
Strong family ties and supportive friends can help you deal with the current stresses of the world. Friends and family can
make you feel included and cared for. They can help keep you active and keep you grounded. Call your friends and
family! Sometimes all we need is listening ear during this time. While the Center may be closed, we want you to know we
are here for you too!
2. Brain Fitness
Stimulate your brain with word puzzles and crosswords! Start your brain fitness on page 4 and 5!
3. Get Physical
Healthy Body, Healthy Mind! Physical health is just as important as mental health! Being active doesn't mean going to
the gym; gardening, dog walking, or walking around the neighborhood are all good way to get your body moving.
A healthy body and a healthy mind!
4. Ask for Help
Support from friends and family are invaluable. The community is here to help too! The Office on Aging is available to
help seniors with linkages to food or resources during self-isolation. Seniors and/ or their families are encouraged to call
the Office on Aging Information and Assistance Call Center at (800) 510-2020. The Center’s staff is also available to
assist via telephone; please call us Monday through Friday between 8:30am and 4:30pm. We are here for you!
5. Eat and Drink Sensibly
Our body and mind needs nutrients to function properly. Come to the Center at Founders Village and pick up your frozen
meals on Thursday’s provided by Meals on Wheels. If you need home delivered meals, you may call Meals on Wheels
Orange County at 714-220-0224 to start the sign up process. There are also grocery stores participating in special hours
for our seniors in our community. Call us for the list!
