- Ever wondered what the Capitol Hill Village budget looks like? CHV Board Treasurer Ceci Albert walks you through revenues and expenses—“balanced and fiscally responsible” is how she describes it. See pages 1 and 2.
- Speaking of finances—healthcare spending on falls among adults 65 and older is expected to be more than $101 billion by 2030. CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield tells us how we can reduce the risk of falls. See pages 1 and 4.
- CHV has a new medical equipment directory—if you need some durable medical equipment (wheelchairs, walkers, rollators, crutches, etc.), check out the Directory. And if you have some of this equipment that you do not need, register it with CHV. See page 7.
- Lots of fun stuff coming up as we head into the holiday season, and we need volunteers to help out: packing and delivering Thanksgiving dinners; baking, packing, and delivering holiday cookies, and helping out with the CHV Gala next March.
- CHV has a grant from the Alzheimer’s Association to increase options for respite services related to persons living with dementia and their caregivers. A Community listening session on Nov. 14 offers the opportunity for input. See page 6, where there’s also a list of upcoming dementia-specific events.
