Older Adult Expo

Posted: May 2, 2018, 9:12AM

The Belmont County Adult Services Coalition held the 20th annual event at the Ohio Valley Mall honoring the older adults in the community, caregivers and care receivers. It was a great event!

The event was formerly known as the Caregiver Support Fair. We changed the name this year to reflect the many roles that today's older adult fulfills. We are employees, caregivers, grandparents. We travel. We volunteer. We wear a lot of hats!

We had 82 exhibitors that included veterans programs, long term care facilities, in home assistance, travel and tourism, home modification, information and referral, wellness coaching, hearing and vision screens, insurance, and many more! Health screens covered blood pressures, pulse ox, glaucoma screens, hearing screens, bone density and more.

Many thanks to our exhibitors, participants, models, Stve Masure, Belmont County Sheriff's Deputies, and Jason who entertained us all day! We hope you will plan to join us next year!
