Lyme’s Resource for Medical Equipment:
The Lyme Parish Nurse Team

A note from Missy Ball, Lyme Parish Nurse, to the Lyme Listserv (4/10/24)

Good Morning 🪺 Lyme 
Mother Nature blessed us with plenty of sunshine and warmth the past few days 🌞 !
What is there to do today on this cloudy day with showers 🌂☔ ?
Head to the Aging Resource Center’s Open House ⬇️
 
Dartmouth Health’s Aging Resource Center is holding an Open House today!
Wednesday, April 10th from 1:00 to 4:00 pm .
The staff at the center is pleased to share with you their new space on Colburn Hill .
Stop in to learn about what informative programs they have to offer , both in person and virtually!
Visit their library , meet their staff, and become familiar with a host of topics that interest to you .
444 Mt.  Support Road in Lebanon   How to get there ⤵️
  • If coming from Hanover , take a right at the second set of 4-way lights toward DHMC . This is Lahaye Drive.
  • If coming from Lebanon, take a left at the 4-way set of lights. Now you’ll be on Lahaye Drive.
  • At the next set of lights , turn right onto Mt. Support Road .
  • Shortly after taking this turn , Colburn Hill will be on your right . There are three entrances to Colburn Hill .
  • Turn into the THIRD entrance ( on the right ) to the building’s lot.
  • Go through the front parking lot and look for ENTRANCE E .   Entrance E is on the far side of the building . Plenty of  parking on site .

Also ….  Are you scheduled to have a total knee or hip replacement in the near future? Know that you can contact the Parish Nurse to have medical equipment set aside for you to borrow to ease in your recovery. These items are available for your use for as long as you need them.

The exchange area for practically all of the borrowed equipment is the rear portion of the Congregational Church. All items are properly cleaned and left for pick-up at your convenience at this location after  prior arrangements with the Parish Nurse. This enclosed entry/exitway is vital to the church for handicap access, the weekly location of the Food Pantry on Tuesdays, not to mention other church functions taking place (not only on Sunday). Please be prompt with your pick up of medical equipment if arrangements have been made for you to borrow something. When returning items please be mindful of what is already there. If the area is cluttered, please consider returning the borrowed equipment on a later date if at all possible. This allows time for the Parish Nurse to move the equipment to the storage area , (that usually takes place once a week ). Thank you in advance for helping keep the entryway safe for all.

THANK YOU ALSO for all the donations that you so kindly call and ask  about seeing if others can use .
