As we get older, it becomes even more important for us to be proactive when it comes to our health. People who have been enrolled in Medicare Part B for 12 months or more can receive a covered Annual Wellness Visit from their primary care provider. During the visit, you can request a cognitive evaluation, which can be a vital check-up for older adults like Meals on Wheels West clients who may have concerns about their cognitive health or who want a baseline screening. A crucial component of #DeliveringMoreThanaMeal is monitoring and promoting the mental health for our homebound clients. Our Community Connections Friendly Calling program provides virtual Wellness Checks over the phone via weekly phone calls; our volunteers are trained to monitor clients' physical and mental health concerns, and when needed, can connect clients to our 58 partner agencies which include healthcare providers and mental health programs. #mealsonwheels #mowwest #mentalhealth #MentalWellnessMonth
