SEPTEMBER 2013

O’FALLON CHAMBER CELEBRATES 60 YEARS OF HELPING BUSINESSES

his is a special month for the O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce. On September 15, 1953, our Chamber was offi cially incorporated. During our move last year,

while purging the storage room, we found a box of historical documents, including our articles of incorporation and board minutes. As you can imagine, O’Fallon was a much different place 60 years ago.

Looking through the minutes, there is no doubt that the leaders of our early Chamber were just as committed to the economic vitality of O’Fallon that we still work for. Interstate 70 was making its way through town and the big discussion at Chamber Board meetings was which neon sign

Board members also lobbied on behalf of residents and businesses to increase public transportation, especially with the expected completion of a new bridge in St. Charles- which you may recognize as the Blanchette Bridge!

seniors and disabled adults to help them live independently. They opened their doors on Feb. 2007and are located in O’Fallon in the Rock Creek Plaza. Right at Home was voted the #1 Home Care Company in St. Charles County in 2010, 2011, and 2012 in the Suburban Journal reader’s poll.

Web based training modules including test are also available to fi eld staff to take at their convenience.

Right at Home also provides respite to those caring for an aging parent or those who live a distance from an aging parent. Often, seniors are afraid to ask for help or to admit that they are slowing down because they do not wish to leave their homes or move into a facility.

Our services include assistance with personal care, light housekeeping, medication reminders, meal preparation, transportation, shopping, errands and companionship. We provide as little as one hour and as much as 24 hour care, as well as live-in and sleepover services. Right at Home tailors its care to an individual’s needs.

Progress West’s name change celebrates its mission and brings attention to the essential services it provides to our community.
