AED Program in The Villages Florida - How does it work?
Christine sits down with Lake Denham (The Villages) AED Coordinator Terri Pelant to learn about this life saving program.
Having an AED program in The Villages is super important for a bunch of reasons:
1. **Heart Health**: Since many folks here are older, the risk of heart issues is higher. Having AEDs around can really save lives if someone goes into cardiac arrest.
2. **Quick Action**: Cardiac arrests can happen out of the blue, and every second counts. With AEDs easily accessible right within the neighborhood, locally trained neighbors/responders can jump in and help before the ambulance gets there.
3. **Community Training**: Through The Villages Fire Department, An AED program usually includes training for residents on how to use the devices and do CPR. This means more people will feel confident stepping in during emergencies.
4. **Building Community**: Setting up an AED program brings neighbors together. It shows we care about each other and creates a sense of safety and readiness. Our neighborhood AED coordinator, Terri Pelant, is doing a fantastic job of getting everyone involved and informed!
5. **Faster Help**: With AEDs located around the neighborhood, help can get to someone in trouble much faster. That’s a big deal when every moment counts!
6. **Peace of Mind**: Knowing there are AEDs nearby and that people are trained to use them helps everyone feel safer and more relaxed.
Overall, having an AED program, makes our community stronger and more prepared for emergencies. It’s all about looking out for one another!

😊This is wonderful!! Thanks so much, and I’d love to donate a little, if you have a link or Venmo. Happy Thanksgiving!! ❤❤🦃🦃🙏🙏
Such a Noo Yawker...
Great show. Did I miss it? Did you mention how you met? I was multi-tasking while listening. I was curious. Enjoyed the show.
Hi Melissa! Tina and I met via a mutual friend, her very good friend Nellie who was also my realtor and then we all became friends!
OMG!! A native Floridian! What a relief!
I know!!
Great video! Love you ladies and Don! We were there visiting recently and my sister and I were so excited to have our coffee on the lanai, and actually be ladies of the lanai! 😊 ☕️
Just like meeting us Out On The Lanai!
Never try to miss an episode, ladies! One thing I am amused by is the commentary on the relative mediocrity of the food. One must remember that for most of the folks here, they are accustomed to having tremendous food up north, and the food at TV often cannot compete. As I am currently living in San Antonio, I would suspect the Mexican food and BBQ in TV could not compare to that in Texas. Having been to several restaurants in TV, I found the food to be tasty and plentiful, and of course, the people are so incredibly friendly. A quick question: Having grown up in West Palm Beach (how rare is that?), we all know what a snowbird is, and I certainly understand what a frog is ("be there until I croak), but what is a snowflake? Never stop doing your shows!!
Hi Robert and thanks so much for being such a faithful listener! A Snowflake is someone who comes here back and forth on no particular schedule :)n n
Thank you for sharing this information! This video is GREAT! I am part of a group in the Village of Richmond that is in the early stages of an AED program. (I also helped in St Catherine.) We would love to share it on the Richmond AED program website. Question: How many homes are there in Lake Denham? Thank you!
Hello ladies and Don, I really enjoy all your videos. I know where Haines City is and I think that's where the smallest post office is at. Thanks for having Don on because he has a lot of interesting points about TV. Hope you all have a wonderful week!!!
Hi Debra! That is so cool that you know where Haines City is! We are beyond grateful that Don agreed to come on, he is a wealth of information like no other.
Awesome program. Congrats to Lake Denham
Thanks, we agree with you.
This is fantastic what a wonderful lady to start this program.
Thanks Fierce Flyer, we think Terri did an incredible job with this project.
Great show Cristina, I lost my only sister over the weekend, I think of the villages!! What if ??
Oh my, Kyle, we are both so sorry to hear that you lost your only sister. It is normal to ask "what if" . May her memory be a blessing.
Great information
Hi David, we are glad that you enjoyed the information about the AED program that residents can start here in TV.
Great show ladies!
We thank you Carol!
Don is a treasure. I love his videos. Thank you.
We agree with you, he is a treasure!
Very entertaining. Love you both and Don is good man and really knows his stuff about The Villages. Thanks so much for this video. If you can, it would be interesting if you could interview Rusty Nelson and Michael & Tiffany. Just a thought. Have a great rest of the week.
Hi Pattie! We have Rusty Nelson in the planning stages at this time! Michael and Tiffany is definitely worth considering as well! We love to accommodate viewer requests.
@@LadiesoftheLanai-yb1ns Thank you. One other idea is an interview with Nancy Lopez. I'm not sure but I heard she lives in the Villages. Thank you again so much. Love your videos.
@@pattiebravata7462 getting Nancy Lopez would be a huge catch! We believe she used to live here but does not any longer. Maybe one of our viewers can confirm.
Need a dance place with a large dance floor, inside out of the heat!!!
That's a good suggestion. Lots of the groups have events held inside the rec centers with bands or DJ's and you can dance there!
@LadiesoftheLanai-yb1ns but that is small compared to what we had in OK and TX. Dancing a 2 step, would take 2 songs to get around the floor.
@@JOJOMO443 ahhh, maybe find or start a club in a larger room that can accommodate what you are looking for! I am sure you will get lots of people interested! The Regional recreation centers have larger rooms.
Great video....
Thanks so much David, we appreciate you!
The Villages reminds me of the military bases my husband and I lived on! My husband did 20 years Army and I did 8 years Army! ❤
Interesting observation Jodi! There are certainly alot of military families here.
"It's better to burn out than fade away " Great song by Neil Young! FYI. 🎸🎶🎼
I love that line!!
Would love to see an interview with The Villages Natives ❤
Yes, I've met them. They're such a lovely couple.
Yes! I agree! 😊
You two are great, Steve hanndson, villages golf pro, get him, he knows golf in the villages..
Hi Kyle! Great tip to see if Steve Handson would come on the show.
Is there a drone club in the villages? Tina said did you start it? And Don said yes I did!!😂😂
Facts!!
Thank you Christina, it is a legacy!! It's a dream that Harold Swartz wanted for is family..❤
Hi Kyle, yes, I do believe it is about building that legacy, and, if that's what Mr. Swartz wanted, who in the family coming up is going to stop it? I do think the family members enjoy their work, I really do.
Great interview. Thanks for your service Don from a fellow NAVY Vet and soon to be Well Point resident.
Thanks for your comment, we appreciate you!
That is the very honorable Don while!! He is a student of the villages, and I say? The villages life guard!! What a great show Cristina and Tina, you guys are great😂
Thanks again Kyle, we appreciate you.
I appreciate you having Don on this was an amazing video.
Hi Fierce Flyer! WOW thanks for your great feedback. Don was very generous with his time with us, we think he's great!
Really appreciate this video. I hope Don realizes the influence he has on the Villages, both those of us now living here, and those considering moving to the Villages. As he said, EVERYONE is curious what’s coming, when, and what the future holds. Anticipation is a feeling of excitement or anxiety that comes from waiting for an expected event to happen; and Don is our best source for that. Also, it was nice meeting you, Christine, in person, at the starter shack at Laurel Oak the other day. 👋🏻 Your channel is great. We love hearing the backstories of other Villagers we meet on the golf course, the squares, etc. Your twenty question format is just perfect for that. Keep up the good work, ladies 👍🏻
Hi Mperski Thanks for your comment. I think Don understands that he has influence, but I'm not sure if anyone knows just how much he has! Loved to meet you at the starter shack, that was pretty awesome!
My favorite Don episode was when the puppies were born. 🐶🐾💕🇺🇸
Hi Laura, ours too :)
Another great video. Have you tried NYPD Pizza it’s up in the North. There was a review and I looked like NY pizza.
No! We have not tried NYPD Pizza. We will have to try it!
Another one great show with wingnut don
thanks Steven, we are glad that you liked this one!
Always interesting. Thanks. How about a show at a square before the music starts? A stop on the street style interview of people being happy.
Hi Sabre! That has been on our radar screen to go out into the public at night! Stay tuned!
Rhode Island pizza is pretty awesome also.
Rhode Island Pizza Chips from The Original Italian Bakery are addictive!
Hello ladies, I also live in Lake Denham and welcome to the neighborhood. But I haven't met a lot of people yet because I just recently retired so hoping to start meeting more.
Hi Debra! Welcome to the neighborhood to you too! Check out all the fun things at Franklin Recreation center, the pool, and you are sure to meet people! Also there are Facebook groups you can join, just use the Search function for Lake Denham!
I'd love to meet a woman from The Villages and would be willing to travel to date her, then move.
You’ll have to do a “Lifestyle” visit and meet some of the fabulous ladies here :)
Where in Florida is The Villages located?
Hi Lydia, this is a great question! The Villages is in Central Florida. About 1 north of Orlando depending on where in the Villages you are talking about.
Can't wait to move there❤
It's life changing! See you on the Lanai~!
Cuties ❤
Thanks Lori! We appreciate you!
The accent is more Boston than Long Island, I think.
It's funny some people hear the NY and some people hear the Boston :)
You two make a great couple! Both adorable looking with good personalities! My nephew is a restaurateur so I found what he did pre TV interesting.
It is am interesting business and after all, we all go to restaurants!
Christian, Tina, how fun are they!!😂 Great job ladies, that was very fun!!
Hey Kyle thanks so much for your feedback! We appreciate you.
OMG, you remind me of Melissa McCarthy! Same sense of humor. You even sound the same.
That is such a fun observation!
Such fun! Can’t wait to buy our vacation home in The Villages!! ❤🎉😊🎉❤
We bet you can't wait to move here! See you on the lanai!
Love you ladies. Great show.
Thanks Patti we love you too!
Hit the thumbs up. It does not cost you anything.
That's right David!
Also being an ex-New Yorker, I'd have to say Bravo Pizza in Lake Sumter Landing is the closest thing to NY style pizza. I am a pizza snob and that is my go to place.
Thanks for that advice, mvivanco! We will have to give it a try!
Loved this!! We get to know our lovely, lively hostesses better! Thank you Christine and look forward to your “ show n tell”, Tina!!💕
Thanks Mary! Tina's video will coming up next month!
Very good show! Would have liked the link with the interview with your husband. I would have clicked on it and I think others would as well. Usually TH-camrs say, if you would like to see that show click the link above and then you point with your finger which side of the screen it is on. Looking forward to the next interview .
Thanks Peri, we will put the link to Paul OKeefe's video in the description and also right here: th-cam.com/video/YQ0IjhTJjAM/w-d-xo.html

What part of Tn?❤

Could you ask Rebecca if she gets paid more to sign clients up for original Medicare or an Advantage plan?
I did ask Rebecca and she said the answer to that question is no. She also said that no matter what she does it costs the client nothing, she just helps them. I will also add that I have seen her in action and she just helps and guides people. The ultimate decision is the clients.
Hello Ladies. Love you both. It would be great if you could do a show about dental care. I would love to find out where to go for good dental care, even a simple cleaning. Thanks so much in advance. Keep up the good work. It's very entertaining and informative.
Hi Pattie! Thanks for that suggestion we do appreciate it! In the meantime, we asked Rebecca Brewer if she had any recommendations and she indicated she would recommend Marion Dental (on the North Side) This would be a good time for us to reiterate our disclaimer that we always recommend that viewers do their own research before making any decisions especially on medical or financial matters.
