Fauquier Health resumes senior supper events after visitation policies loosen

Warrenton, VA (March 7, 2022) – Fauquier Health announces a phased approach to resuming the much-anticipated Senior Supper events for community seniors that are 55 years and older.

The first Senior Supper event will kick off on Thursday, March 24, 2022 starting at 4:30pm through 6:00pm. During the months of April and May, senior suppers will increase to bi-weekly on April 14 and April 28, then again on May 12 and May 26. Beginning in June, the expectation is to then host Senior Suppers weekly, on every Thursday.

Seniors 55 years and older will be invited to choose from one entree, two sides, and a fountain drink or milk – all for $6.00 (tax included). Menus will be determined by the facility prior to the event.

The Bistro will accommodate guests based on capacity regulations and will work to maintain social distancing measures. Seniors will be able to park and enter through the side bistro entrance area and self-screen at the temperature station. Since Fauquier Hospital is a healthcare facility, at this time, masking is still required unless seated at a table.

Dr. Neel K. Shah, Cardiologist, and Lucy Mumo, Director of Dietary Services of Fauquier Health debut healthier, plant-based options. Senior Suppers will provide the Bistro with the opportunity to introduce healthy meal options at an affordable price to the seniors in our community.

Isabel Maples, Dietician with Fauquier Health, expresses, “For March we celebrate National Nutrition Month and Senior Suppers bring the chance to again sit down, share a meal, and socialize with our neighbors. There’s no cooking or cleaning involved and, after all the extra isolation COVID brought, the connection time can improve overall nutrition in our community.”

“We have a great lineup coming for future senior suppers. By reintroducing Senior Suppers, we are hopeful to have an exciting lineup for our guests,” said Lucy Mumo, Dietary Director of the Bistro. “We want to plan future events with themes, cook outs, and possibly explore musical options.”

Registration is not required. Space may be limited based on facility discretion.
