UR Community Cares is continuing to grow as a nonprofit that offers community and in-home support to older and disabled residents in Manchester. As a Physical Therapist I have a passion for health and next month we are including more health-related content in the Tech Center programming. We have some exciting news that we will be able to share next month, stay tuned!

Our October Tech Center calendar is filled with learning and community events throughout the month.

We are hosting and helping to facilitate Manchester’s first Parkinson’s Disease Support Group, beginning on Oct 8^th 10:30am-12pm, please share with those that may be interested.

On October 10^th we have a great community event with CVS Health bringing their RV onsite to offer free screenings, all are welcome. Their RV will be outside, and their team will conduct screenings in the RV and provide valuable information for the community.  That same day, 10/10 at 10:30am-12pm inside the Tech Center, we have a member of VIF Care discussing, VIF (vifcare.com) their app that is being used by police depts/Special Olympics/towns to keep people with special needs/adults safe and we will have an Autism doctor come in to discuss how families can observe the early signs and help caregivers care for people with special needs.

If you would like to present in the Tech Center in the future, please let me know and we hope you can join us for an event. Please contact me if you would like to discuss more about our programs.

Additionally, on our website www.URCommunityCares.org you can see our new Blind/Vision Impaired Directory that is now available in Spanish, and all of our upcoming events, let me know if you would like to join us. More good stuff coming soon!

If you would like to share about our volunteer in-home program, here is more information:
