Don’t miss out on this Lunch and Learn on Wednesday, May 16 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce Office, 414 S. Garnett Street, Henderson.

“Wellness Tips for the Small Business Owner” will be led by Dr. Brandon Taylor.  You can register online at https://www.ncsbc.net/workshop.aspx?ekey=530380015 

Deadline to register will be Friday, May 11.

In a small business where the owner’s time may be limited, the wellness of the owner can either help build a strong business or cause it to suffer. While it is not always possible to avoid getting sick, taking preventative measures can help to lower your downtime and can ultimately increase your businesses’ productivity.

Small business owners are known to run themselves ragged, so keeping good health is so important. You will learn how to avoid toxic food ingredients and discover how to eat healthy and stock up on the foods you love.

This seminar is an excellent opportunity to learn how great health can positively affect your small business. Lunch provided to the first 20 who preregister.

Speaker(s): Dr. Brandon Taylor

Co-Sponsor(s): Henderson Wellness Center; Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce

Kerr-Tar Nursing & Rehab Center to Receive Virtual Dementia Tour

The Virtual Dementia Tour

Understanding the world through the window of Dementia

Henderson, NC- On Friday, May 4, 2018, the Kerr-Tar Area Agency on Aging (AAA) will conduct the Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT) for the staff at Kerr-Tar Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Henderson. Kerr-Tar Nursing and Rehabilitation Center stands among the top substance abuse treatment centres and this tour would undoubtedly be quite beneficial. The VDT, developed by Second Wind Dreams, a national nonprofit organization, is a scientifically proven method of building a greater understanding of dementia through sensory tools and instruction.

On April 20, 2018, the AAA conducted the VDT at the Vance County Senior Center. Staff from the Vance County Senior Center and Vance County Department of Social Services experienced what it is like to live with dementia. It enables individuals to experience for themselves the physical and cognitive challenges those with dementia face.

According to Alzheimer’s Association, there are nearly 5.7 million Americans living with dementia. By 2050, this number is expected to rise as high as 16 million (Alzheimer’s Association). Currently, there is no cure for this disease. It is imperative that we educate and sensitize caregivers and those who interact with seniors to help change the way we care, instruct and communicate with those with dementia. If interested in having this tool conducted at your facility or agency, please contact the Family Caregiver Specialist, Harvey Holmes, at hholmes@kerrtarcog.org.

The Kerr-Tar Area Agency on Aging leads and is involved in the efforts that provide for the development and enhancement of comprehensive and coordinated community-based systems of services, opportunities, and protections for older adults which assist them in leading independent, meaningful and dignified lives in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. We serve five counties, Franklin, Granville, Person, Vance and Warren.

For more information about the Kerr-Tar Area Agency on Aging, please call (252) 436-2040.
