What to Expect at the Fair
Health Screenings
You’ll have access to a bunch of free health screenings! Think of it as a quick check-up without the waiting room. I remember waiting for what felt like forever at my last doctor’s appointment. Anyway, here’s what you can expect:
- Blood pressure checks
- Glucose testing
- Vision screenings
- Hearing screenings
- Bone density screenings (because, you know, bones)
Informational Booths
Tons of representatives from different organizations will be there, ready to share helpful information. Seriously, it’s like a one-stop-shop for senior resources. Wondering about something specific? Just ask! They’ll have info on:
- Medicare and Medicaid (always a fun topic, right?)
- Home healthcare options
- Assisted living facilities (planning ahead is key)
- Financial planning for seniors (because who couldn’t use a little help with that?)
- Elder law and estate planning
Educational Sessions
Throughout the morning, there will be presentations and workshops covering topics vital to your health. These sessions will cover areas such as:
- Nutrition and healthy eating (because who doesn’t love talking about food?)
- Fall prevention (staying on your feet is important!)
- Medication management (keeping those pills straight)
- Stress reduction techniques (we all need a little of this!)
- Understanding arthritis and joint pain
Activities and Entertainment
It’s not all serious stuff! There will be some fun activities, too. I heard there’s going to be:
- Live music (get your groove on!)
- Chair yoga demonstrations (stretch it out!)
- Raffle prizes (who doesn’t love free stuff?)
- Bingo (eyes down, look in!)
