Coming To A Television Near You

Starting this fall, MVES will air its first television program, A Community of Elders. The program, hosted by Christine Falzarano, is designed to inform both elders and caregivers of the different services and resources available at Mystic Valley Elder Services and in local communities.

In the first episode, MVES Executive Director Dan O’Leary is featured discussing how MVES serves the public and how residents in our eight communities— Everett, Malden, Medford, Melrose, North Reading, Reading, Stoneham, and Wakefield —can benefit from Mystic Valley Elder Services. The program highlights the Reading Partners program, a unique effort that pairs elders with children to help improve the students’ reading skills. Also discussed are caregivers, the responsibilities of caregivers, and MVES services that can help caregivers and their challenges.

“A Community of Elders enables MVES to reach out to elders and caregivers through a new medium. The program will help to show the numerous resources that MVES has for members of the community,” said Sean Maney, the director of marketing and public relations at MVES.

A Community of Elders is produced by MVES volunteers and staff, with the assistance of Malden Cable Access Television and its volunteers. MVES will continue to produce shows on a quarterly basis, with segments covering a variety of topics relating to elders and caregiving services. MVES’ goal for the program is to make elders and caregivers in its communities aware of the services available at MVES.

If you would like to appear on the program or have any interesting ideas for future shows, we encourage you to give us a call.
