A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Technology.
It’s how we communicate nowadays and Sterling Village is
keeping up with the times by sharing information online via
our website and facebook, via the lobby television, and also
via mobile access on your cell phone.
Staying connected at all stages in life gets harder as we age.
Our new program, LifeShare, offers families members of all
ages various resources to stay connected with their
loved one’s. By accessing the free LifeShare mobile app,
families can see everything from what activities are being
organized to what the daily menu is. This is the same
information that is broadcast on the TV in the main lobby.
With this, visitors and residents are able to stay informed
through a running slideshow on the TV. This slideshow
displays daily menus, activities, announcements, pictures, and
more. In the future, we will have more TV’s in different
locations thought the building with even more information.
We hope you find this new program to be engaging and
informative and we hope that you will take advantage of the
free mobile app. Instructions are provided in this issue and
there are also instructions available at the front desk.
Respectfully,
Kimberly Archambault

RACHEL MACADO RESIDENT COUNCIL NEWS
A “Resident Council” is an independent, organized group of people
living in a long term care facility that meets on a regular basis to discuss
concerns, develop suggestions on improving services or resolve
differences in their home. Every Resident Council is different, due to differences in both the
residents who participate and in the support from the facility. Usually residents who are able
to, speak up for those who cannot.
Resident Councils are important for many reasons. They have become more recognized
for the important contributions that residents make when given the opportunity to speak for
themselves. They provide a forum for residents to:
Voice their concerns directly to invited staff
Hold the facility accountable
Identify problems and their solutions from the residents’ perspective
Allow residents to recognize staff they feel deserving of recognition
Open up discussion on topics of interest to residents
Suggest and plan activities
Contributes to shaping their world
The Sterling Village Resident Council is moderated by our Activities Director, Joy
Stockwell and is attended regularly by Ombudsman, Bob Cote. The President of the Resident
Council is Thelma Martin and Vice President is Dorothy Knight, both of whom are serving
one year terms having been elected by their peers. The next monthly meeting is scheduled
for July 26th
at 2pm in the Activity Room.
