Clark Meadows to Hold Open House March 19
Clark Meadows at Ferris Hills will hold an open house on Saturday, March 19, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Located on Peg Rayburn Drive – just off Middle Cheshire Road in Canandaigua – Clark Meadows is a 48-apartment enriched (assisted) living community that is a part of UR Medicine Thompson Health, a nonprofit healthcare organization. It is regulated by the New York State Department of Health and is designed for older adults who need assistance in order to maintain as much independence as possible. This assistance can include medication management and help with daily tasks as well as an emergency call pendant system. In addition, three meals are provided daily, along with housekeeping, laundry services and activities. The UR Medicine Geriatrics Group offers medical care on site and there is an on-site pharmacy service, with transportation  provided to off-site appointments with specialists.

During the March 19 open house, visitors can take a tour of Clark Meadows, learn about the services offered and meet with the staff. For more information, visit www.ClarkMeadows.com or call (585) 393-4330.
 
Thompson to Host March 29 Job Fair

With on-site interviews, the job fair will be held in the hospital’s Constellation Center for Health and Healing, so those attending should enter the campus from West Street and park in the lot behind the hospital.

Thompson’s open positions include nursing, clinical support, nutrition services, social work, environmental services, clerical/customer service, patient registration and recreation therapy.

The minimum starting wage at Thompson is $15 per hour. Tuition assistance – for staff members pursuing further education – is up to $6,000 per year for those employed full-time and up to $3,000 per year for those working part-time. There are additional initiatives to help associates advance in their careers, including an on-site RN-to-BSN program in partnership with Roberts Wesleyan College and a CNA-to-LPN program that covers tuition.

How to Make a Good First Impression

Every day we encounter new people: standing in line for our morning coffee, in business, book club, restaurants, etc.  Like it or not, our brain automatically starts processing information about that other person and starts forming an impression.  It processes the other person’s demeanor or body language, physical attributes, attire, voice and language, and puts it in perspective of the environment.  If you want to leave a good impression, here are some ideas. Read more.
