Fairview Commons to host Health Fair - March 10, 2008
GREAT BARRINGTON – Fairview Commons Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is celebrating the 6th anniversary of its Adult Day Health Program with an Information Fair and Open House that will include several vendors, health screenings in the BHS Community Outreach Van, live music, food, and a craft fair featuring items made by attendees of the Adult Day program. The event is scheduled from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 30th at Fairview Commons Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, 151 Christian Hill Road, Great Barrington.
The event will include free mini-massages by Janet Nightingale, LMT, of On the Move Massage Therapy, blood pressure screens by Berkshire Health Systems Access On Health program, along with information on the new health insurance law in Massachusetts. Representatives from Greylock Federal Credit Union will be available to offer consultations on insurance, financial planning and investment services. Other vendors include: Fairview Hospital’s Physical Therapy Department, the Lee Visiting Nurses Association, Link-to-Life, Beltone Hearing Aide Associates, Elder Services of the Berkshires and more.
The Information Fair and Open House will also include food and refreshments, live entertainment by Classic Jazz performers Robert Evans and Roger Suters, and a live on-site broadcast on WSBS-860 AM.
“We are thrilled to have so many different health care providers taking part in this health fair and celebration of the Adult Day Health Program,” said Patricia Janchuk, administrator of Fairview Commons. “There is no better time than the present to begin to focus on your health and we encourage everyone to come and do just that.”
Six years ago, Fairview Commons filled a need in the community for an Adult Day Health Program after a similar program was discontinued by another provider. The program welcomes attendees who need care during the day to lend a hand to family members or other caretakers during the daytime. Catering to the needs of the individual, the Adult Day Health Program offers a wide range of activities for elder residents, including those afflicted with Alzheimer’s, dementia, post-stroke limitations, and many other challenges. |
