As the holiday season approaches, Lewis Family McDonald’s has begun preparing for their annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner.
The dinner, started in 1989 by the Chester Carey Family, is now in its 11th year under the Lewis family.
The dinner will be held on Thursday, Nov. 26, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lima Veteran’s Memorial Civic and Convention Center.
“We recognize the importance of having a place for people to eat and fellowship on a special day like Thanksgiving,” says Jerry Lewis. “Our community continues to support the event by donating clothes and groceries and by serving at the dinner.”
Families caring for loved ones with chronic health needs often feel caught in the middle: You want your loved one to have the best care, but you also want him or her to have the comforts of home. With home health care services the goal is to provide both.
November is National Home Care and Hospice Month. As the name implies, home care simply refers to health services that are delivered in a patient’s home. And the services themselves can be quite diverse.
“Some patients receive rehabilitation therapy or skilled nursing care,” said Claudia Crawford, RN, BSN, CHPN supervisor for Community Health Professionals of Ada.
Construction will start immediately – but first comes the groundbreaking.
St. Rita’s Health Partners broke ground at noon on Monday at 604 W. North Ave., for what will become Mercy Health Ada Family Medicine.
The project, estimated at a cost of $1 million, will result in a family practice open to the needs of the Ada community. It is located between the Ada schools and the Van Crest of Ada nursing home, currently under construction. It is anticipated to be open in April 2016.
