Area Seniors Encouraged to Register for Preventive Assessments
The Atrium at The Allendale Community for Mature Living will host a series of specialized health screenings designed to save lives and prevent debilitating strokes and cardiovascular conditions as part of its Annual Health Fair on Saturday, September 11. The screenings will be held at The Atrium, offering residential living with supportive services on the Allendale Community campus.
Representatives from Life Line Screening Radiology, LLC will be conducting the five different evaluations throughout the day. Each is designed to assess an individual’s risk for life-threatening conditions that often do not present symptoms, including strokes/carotid artery blockages; heart rhythm irregularities; abdominal aortic aneurysms; and the build-up of plaque, known as peripheral artery disease, in the lower extremities. The fee for all of the painless, non-invasive screenings is $139. There is an option to add an osteoporosis test for an additional $10.
Each test is administered within a relatively short time; however, appointment spaces are limited and pre-registration is required. To reserve a time slot, call (800) 636-0418 to set an appointment time. Registrants will receive a reminder post card and a courtesy call prior to the screening.
The Allendale Community for Mature Living is located at 85 Harreton Road, just off Route 17 South in Allendale. The campus offers three levels of residency for older adults that offer a continuum of care in one convenient location: The Atrium for independent seniors; Carlton Court for those who require assisted services; and the Allendale Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center. For more information about the health screenings or other programs open to the public, please call The Allendale Community at (201) 818-7979 or visit www.allendalecommunity.com .
