Between now and May, 2007, several Vero Beach Assisted living and nursing home facilities will host a series of health fairs to provide the community with information on local senior services. All events will be held from 1–4 p.m. and will feature a speaker on a particular topic. The VNA will be on hand at all events to provide free blood pressure screenings as well as information on our community wellness, home health, and hospice care services. Events will be held at the following facilities:

All proceeds from these events will benefit the Alzheimer/Parkinson Association of Indian River County’s “No Loves Lost” and “Project Lifesaver” programs, which help protect patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions who are prone to wandering. Through these programs, patients can be provided with special wristbands to help public safety teams identify and locate wandering patients quickly, protecting them for harm.
