Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program

The Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program is an exercise program designed specifically for people with arthritis that uses gentle activities to help increase joint flexibility and range of motion while maintaining muscle strength and decreased pain.  Exercises can be done standing, or in a chair.

Amy attended a 1 ½ day Train-the-Trainer workshop to begin her certification. The program is available to the community of Park Hill every monday morning.

RELATIONSHIPS:

The Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program Trainer must only lead training workshops that are co-sponsored by the Arthritis Foundation. The trainer’s workshop activities are supervised by the Arthritis Foundation chapter sponsoring the training workshop or the Arthritis Foundation National Office.

There is something special that happens each Fall in Rocky Mountain National Park. Residents enjoyed this yearly event this past month.

For the 10th year in a row, church members volunteer and prepare a wonderful dinner for the residents at Cliffview and the community of Kremmling. This year it will be held at 11:30 AM. Don’t miss it!

Local residents from the Kremmling community were invited to an “All American BBQ” compliments of Cliffview. Residents selected the menu and everyone had a good time!

A flag raising ceremony was held on 9.11.11 at Cliffview Assisted Living Residence.

Thanks to the generosity of a local fourth generation family, Cliffview now has a new therapeutic whirlpool tub!  The tub was donated by Gary Bumgarner from the estate of his parents, Welton & Helen Bumgarner.  The elder Bumgarners were residents of Cliffview for ten years.  The Bumgarner family was also very instrumental in the development of Cliffview, which was opened in 1994 in Kremmling. 

The side entry tub is easy for the residents to access and enjoy a therapeutic whirlpool experience.  A majority of the residents have used it and interest has grown over the past month. This luxury spa is intended to add to the amenities and services available to the residents at Cliffview.

 Special Features of the Spa:

• Spa-quality relaxation featuring four jets for ultimate resident comfort
• The tub operates quietly – between a whisper and a normal conversation tone
• Insulated to retain water temperature for a better bathing experience
• The pipeless technology offers unsurpassed water purity – meeting hospital-grade disinfection requirements
• A fast-fill mixing anti-scald valve assures a safe and efficient bathing process
• Essential oils and bath salts may be added to create a luxurious calming bath for residents

Community and local support has been the key to Cliffview’s success and we cannot thank everyone who supports us and helps to make it such a special place for our seniors to live.

NCAL established National Assisted Living Week® (NALW) in 1995 as a way to promote assisted living to the public. Because this year’s National Assisted Living Week® begins on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, it was important for the theme to reflect the pride we feel as citizens and active members of the community.
