The public is invited to an open house titled, “A Healthy Walk Around the World,” from 1 – 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, at the Oak Park Arms retirement community, 408 S. Oak Park Ave.
Guests will receive a passport which can be taken along to the different “countries” (stations) that provide screenings, assessments and challenges. Each station will issue a stamp on the participant’s passport. Those with completed passports will be entered for the chance to win a special grand prize.
Stations include:
• bone density scans from West Suburban Hospital
• a memory stimulation workshop
• hand massages from Rainbow Hospice and Palliative Care
• blood pressure screenings from Oak Park Arms
• balance and gait assessments from Interim Healthcare
In addition to gifts and prizes, a Moroccan Bazaar will be hosted by the artisans of the Lifelong Learning Center.
The open house will include a tour of the grounds, piano lounge music, a performance by the Lance Brown Quartet, and raffles. The public will get the chance to learn more about the Oak Park Arms and what it has to offer.
