Assisted living residents at Allerton House at Central Park in Weymouth viewed the Super Bowl as another opportunity to enjoy the companionship of fellow residents, dip into delicious Game Day food and support the New England Patriots. The community served spinach puffs, beef turnovers and pigs-in-a blanket, along with pretzels, chips, French onion dip and an Allerton House favorite – ginger ale and cranberry juice.
During commercial breaks the residents engaged in a Game of Football Trivia with Resident Services Director Amanda Annis. Residents gathered in the Media Room to cheer on the hometown team, watching the game on a wide-screen High-Definition television. Spirits weren’t dampened by the loss, because there is always next year!

Acupuncture Presentation draws Professionals and Seniors to Allerton House in Weymouth
Acupuncture is being used by people of all ages to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain. During a free CEU Presentation recently at Allerton House at Central Park, members of the community-at-large, professionals and residents of the Weymouth assisted living community came to hear Dr. Bridget Chin, medical acupuncturist at the Spaulding Outpatient Center in Braintree.
In traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, involves the use of thin needles that penetrate the skin to offer stimulation to various parts of the body. The National Institutes of Health is one of many organizations studying the effectiveness of acupuncture.
During the program, Dr. Chin (featured at right) explained the way medical acupuncture works, recent research, the benefits of the procedure and the use of acupuncture in treating patients with spinal cord injuries. She said that acupuncture is increasingly being accepted as an alternative or complimentary medical procedure, and that it is an accepted method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing.
Dr. Chin received her medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine. She trained in surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Allerton House Assisted Living Community at Central Park in Weymouth, MA offers residents, family members, healthcare professionals and the public at large the opportunity to take part in free public education forums and special events.
