JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare’s team of employees and residents participated in the MS Walk in Lake Como on April 30. Each year, Bartley participates in fundraisers to donate and raise money toward a meaningful cause, according to a press release.
This year, Bartley Healthcare and The Orchards at Bartley Assisted Living raised $500, with the company matching that amount, making the donation to the MS Society $1,000.
Bartley’s team included four residents who have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which can affect the brain, spinal cord and the optic nerves in a person’s eyes, according to the press release.
The National MS Society is a resource for information, education, referral and support to millions of people affected by the disease. For more information, call 800-344-4867, or visit www.nationalmssociety.org
On June 19 at 4:30 p.m., The Orchards at Bartley Assisted Living, 100 North County Line Road, Jackson, will partner with Centrastate Medical Center to host an educational seminar, “Memory Changes As We Age.” Members of the public are invited to attend the seminar. A light dinner will be served.
Memory can be defined as the registration, retention and recollection of experiences, thoughts, feelings, sensations, ideas and knowledge. Some declines in cognition and memory with age are normal, but sometimes they can signal problems, according to a press release.
The presenter will be Marilyn Abrahamson, speech pathologist and brain health educator from Centrastate Medical Center. Individuals interested in attending the seminar may register by calling the CentraState Health Awareness Center at 732-308-0570 or by visiting centrastate.com, and clicking on Classes and Events.
