Health Help & Screenings

The Brea Senior Center aims to provide important information regarding health services for people 60 years and older. Do you, or someone you know, need assistance in these areas?

Blood Pressure Monitoring

Tuesdays
9:00 - 11:00 a.m.
High blood pressure increases your chance (or risk) for getting heart disease and/or kidney disease and for having a stroke. It is especially dangerous because it often has no warning signs or symptoms. It is estimated that one in every four American adults has high blood pressure. Once high blood pressure develops, it usually lasts a lifetime. You can prevent and control high blood pressure by taking action. Stop in each week for your free monitoring record.

Mobility Equipment Lending

The Mobility Equipment Lending program enables Brea residents to borrow assistive devices for older adults in the community — free of charge –  available by loan on a short or long-term basis. Devices include, but may not be limited to: walkers, canes, wheelchairs, transporters, raised toilet seats, commodes, grab bars, bedside assist rails, and more. Also available for lending are CCTV magnifiers for the vision impaired. These items are donated, therefore most have been used. Eligibility Criteria: 60+ years of age and Brea residency. Signature on the Brea Senior Center Loan Form is required. 

Please note: We cannot accept used commodes, oxygen tubing, needles, colostomy bags, or opened incontinence supplies. Due to limited storage space, we kindly ask that you call in advance before donating.
