Letter from the GM

Notes from Robin: Greetings! A couple weeks ago, we had a Resident Meeting. Many were able to attend but for those that missed it, here are a few highlights: *Much of the meeting was spent discussing our renovations. We are very close to being completed. The first floor carpet and the Dining Room are the main items remaining. Once we have all the new décor and furniture in place, we will have a better idea how everything fits. Your comfort and satisfaction is most important. We will assess (after everything is in place) if any changes, moving furniture, etc…need to happen. *We discussed the new menus and introduced the Food Committee members. Please feel free to share any comments with these folks who will then present at the next meeting. *And finally…I shared that I will be getting married! June 27th is my wedding date. I will be gone on my honeymoon that following week as well as a week mid July. I just didn’t want anyone to think I ran off to get married and not coming back. Thank you for all the well wishes! Window washing will occur in the garden homes June 16th and 17th. Lincoln Lodge will be completed June 19th. They will clean inside and outside your windows. If you do not want your inside windows washed, please let me know. A list will be distributed with the order soon. Garden Home Residents- *Pruning will begin mid June. I know many of you have put in landscape requests. I pass that information along to Mainscape. When calling in a request, please ask the front desk to pass this along to me or ask to speak to me directly.

We would like to welcome our

*I am still attempting to work with Republic regarding your trash bins. I’m sorry this has been a frustration for some of you. Lastly, I received this letter from Indiana University for those that are interested- Attention Persons Who Wear Lower Partial Dentures Needed are 18 to 80 year olds who wear lower partial dentures to participate in lower partial denture studies at the Oral Health Research Institute on the IUPUI campus. You must already have a comfortably fitting lower partial denture. Persons who wear a lower partial denture will be paid $25 cash for attending a screening visit, whether they qualify or not. Once qualified, persons participating in future lower partial denture studies can be paid $200-$600 per study and receive free dental cleanings. To learn more about the partial denture studies, please call (317) 274-3740 and ask to speak with a representative of the partial denture studies. As always, please do feel free to drop in and see me. Have a terrific month!

Yours truly,

Robin Van Overwalle

General Manager

I would like to take this opportunity to share this testimony from a Lincoln Lodge family

member.

“Fiercely independent” and “pleasantly confused” are the words we have heard from those who know her and those who are acquainted with her at Lincoln Lodge, American Village.

With the input and advice of professionals, we determined that, for now, the best place for our Mom to be was in her own apartment. Since we were not able to be there daily- to remind her of meds and hair appointments and how to fix her TV remote and where she put her coffee pot – we searched for an alternative to help her though the day.

That invaluable assistance was provided by Great Care, a company offering a la carte services for independent-living residents at American Village.

And then when we realized there might be a need for additional help through the night, Great Care was right there with a new service called Sleep Safe. Our Mom is NOT a morning person but rather an insomniac for as long as we can recall.

Jeanette, her care-giver, could relate as a night owl herself. The Sleep Safe program was customized to our Mom’s needs and has been revised as needed along the way.

Goal achieved to date………….to keep our Mom independent for as long as possible, with the help of Great Care and Sleep Safe.”

If you have questions about services, please contact Great Care directly at 317.595.9933

Did you know Great Care is in Lincoln Lodge 24 hours a day?

They can provide care services from 7am-7pm in 15 minute increments as well as

longer time periods. Great Care also has evening program from 7pm-7am.

Health Notes from Kayla Kuryvail New Energy Wellness

Skin Care and Aging

Your skin changes with age. It becomes thinner, loses fat, and

no longer looks as plump and smooth as it once did. Your

veins and bones can be seen more easily. Scratches or cuts

can take longer to heal. Years of being out in the sun may

have lead to wrinkles, dryness, age spots, and even cancer.

But there are things you can do to protect your skin and to

make it feel and look better.

Bruises

Older people may bruise more easily than younger people.

And, it can take longer for the bruises to heal. Some

medicines or illnesses may cause bruising. If you see bruises

and you don't know how you got them, especially on parts of

your body usually covered by clothing, see your doctor.

Wrinkles

Over time, skin begins to wrinkle. Things in the environment,

like ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun, make the skin less

elastic. Gravity can cause skin to sag and wrinkle.

Certain habits also can wrinkle the skin. Some of these habits

are easier to change than others. You may not be able to

change your facial expressions, but you can quit smoking.

A lot of claims are made about how to make wrinkles go

away. Not all of them work. Some can be painful or even

dangerous, and many must be done by a doctor. Talk with a

doctor specially trained in skin problems (a dermatologist) or

your regular doctor if you are worried about wrinkles.
