Members of the Paramus Rotary Club visited the residence of the New Jersey Veterans Home at Paramus and hosted an exciting hour or so of BINGO. It was a packed house of veterans all eager to win some $$$ and to welcome a break from their usual routine.  


 
 
 
This week's speaker was Ron Gold, founder and CEO of LeanOnWe.  In 2011, Ron was hit by a drunken driver who had fallen asleep behind the wheel. That tragic accident nearly cost him his life. From that day forward, Ron needs daily care. Dissatisfied with the healthcare options available to help him navigate this new path, Ron decided to turn his tragedy into a passion for helping others.  He founded LeanOnWe to help simplify the challenges one encounters when searching for reliable home care.
 
Home care is generally considered when a loved one’s health begins to decline, making it challenging for him or her to perform daily tasks or ADLs independently.
There are numerous senior care options to consider. It is critical to understand the pros and cons of each to determine which solution is best for your specific situation.
  • Assisted Living / Memory Support
  • Home care agency
  • Nursing home
  • Adult day care centers
  • Continuing care retirement communities
  • Hire your own
  • LeanOnWe
 
Unlike traditional agencies, LeanOnWe allows users to take control of their homecare needs by providing access to a database of highly vetted and recommended caregivers. This empowers care seekers and their families to personally select an aide that best suits their requirements and preferences. LeanOnWe’s model brings an exciting new home care option to those in need of these types of services.

On Tuesday August 1, 2023 members of the Paramus Rotary Club participated at the National Night Out event held on the grounds behind the Paramus Public Library and the Rotary Club of Paramus Band Shell, Gazebo, and Peace Park. 
It was a great opportunity to meet 100s of community members, participating areas businesses, community leaders, and members from many other community organizations. It was definitely another great way to share information about Rotary to inquiring attendees stopping at the Rotary Club of Paramus tent/table and hand out Rotary Brochures, Rotary themed coloring books & crayons, as well as candy, water, chips and glow sticks.  
It was a great information sharing opportunity and also……IT WAS FUN.
