Representatives from Part Vista and the Life Long Learning Institute visited the Rotary Club of Austintown and presented ideas for this spring, summer and fall learning opportunities.
Lori Shandon and Marise Sayyoun said that the lifelong learning institute seeks to challenge the minds and satisfy the curiosity of older adults. Each semester features more than 20 courses from four different lecture series topics. The lecture series includes topics that cover arts and culture, history and political science, religion and spirituality and wellness and rehabilitation. The course topics were selected to provide authentic experiences that unite to enrich mind, body and spirit.
Also present at the meeting were Rosemary and Wade Raridon, who are retired from YSU and now are part of the resident council at Park Vista. Raridon discussed why Park Vista is the place to be from full time care to hospice care. Park Vista has been a staple of the Mahoning Valley for more than 60 years. Park Vista specializes in rehabilitation and physical therapy, constant care, hospital care and Alzheimer’s care.
Park Vista incorporates an active aging approach by focusing on the residents’ mental and spiritual wellness as well as their physical health.
Raridon explained that Park Vista has so many activities and programs for residents that their biggest complaint is they do not have enough time to attend all of them.
Park Vista believes every individual deserves the best care, so they will not turn anyone down due to lack of finances. Park Vista has partnered with Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services to provide funding to residents who do not have the financial means to continue to engage in their services.
