Pain Management with Acupuncture

Kenneth Noble, MSA, LAc, acupuncturist, presented an interesting and entertaining lecture at Bridgeport Place Retirement & Assisted Living on Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Noble's assistant, Barbara Williams, handed-out health survey forms to each person in attendance. The residents enjoyed hearing what he had to say about how acupuncture can be useful for most types of pain by increasing circulation to areas where blood flow may be restricted and how stress can play a role. (Video clip provided below) There were lots of good questions and answers. Mr. Noble's clinical practice is in University Place.http://www.noblewellness.com

Bridgeport Place Dining Services Director, Cindy Fugate, provided refreshments for the group with a fabulous fruit tray of artistically arranged wedges of succulent cantaloupe, honeydew melon, red grapes, and fresh apple slices, plus bottles of water.

More fun at Bridgeport Place

Bridgeport Place is a senior living community nestled right alongside Bridgeport Way West, in University Place. It is my honor and pleasure, a pure joy, to work with the staff daily to make this a warm, welcoming, inviting home for seniors, where residents enjoy a daily calendar of activities that can include trips out and about, special programs, and a variety of musical performances. For example...

Today the Memorie Singers performed a lovely program that sent their harmonious voices and lilting melodies all the way from the dining room throughout the hallways. What a treat it was to hear them again. Enjoy a little clip of their performance this afternoon in the attached video.

This weekend on Saturday afternoon, November 7, at 1:30 a special presentation by notedacupuncturist Kenneth Noble, MSA, LAc, of University Place is scheduled. His lecture topic will focus on Pain Management with Acupuncture. He specializes in treating pain that can occur from a variety of causes including arthritis and other types of chronic pain. The program is free and open to the public; a courtesy RSVP to reserve a seat is appreciated. Mr. Noble's busy office practice is also located in University Place.

The Harvest Brunch is Sunday, November 15. There will also be live music. Tickets are $10 for adults; children under 12 eat free. Reservations are required. It is a multi-generational event and families are welcome, but call to reserve a place at the table as seating is limited. 253.565.1960 http://bridgeportplaceassisted.com

Halloween Safe Treats in University Place

More than 300 school children and their parents participated in the annual "Safe Treats" tradition at Bridgeport Place Retirement and Assisted Living on Halloween afternoon. The residents enjoyed seeing the children in their colorful costumes.

Prizes were awarded to the children dressed-up in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prize-winning costumes as a ninja, police officer, and a monkey. The youngest child in costume was a 3-week-old baby in a tiger suit onesie. All the children were precious to see and the residents enjoyed giving them their candy treats.

The staff had done an extraordinarily creative job of decorating.

Honor students from Curtis High School were treated to pizza and snacks in appreciation of them volunteering their time to help with the event.

It was tremendous fun for everyone involved. Having the weather cooperate with a day of sunshine was a bonus.
