VETERANS

May we have your attention please!

You may have noticed our Veteran’s Memorial Shadowbox in the

front lobby. We would love to include all of our Veterans but we

need your help. Family members please bring a photo of your resident in

uniform and give to either Dena Gambs or Angie Patton. We will scan the

photo and return it to you. We will need some information regarding the

branch of service and rank, tour of duty and any other information you

wish to share about your time in the service. We will make 2 copies one

for the shadowbox and one for the family. More copies can be made on re-

quest. We would love to honor all of our residents in this way. Staff mem-

bers and visitors are very interested in reading the memorials in our

shadowbox. We promise we will take very good care of your pictures and

get them back to you promptly. Check out the new memorials we have

added to the shadowbox.

HOUSEKEEPING & LAUNDRY

I love this time of year! Every-

thing has come back to life and

the flowers are blooming . We

truly enjoy the beautiful flowers and plants

that are brought in but please be sure flowers are all

that you are bringing in with you. Last year we had

several occasions where potted plants and cut flow-

ers were harboring lots and lots of ants. We would

prefer the ants stay outside. Please help us with this

by carefully checking plants and flowers.

Please remember to keep resident snacks in an air-

tight container so as not to draw ants. Our pest

control company comes twice a month and they do a

thorough job. However, if we continue to leave

sweets, snacks and drinks out for them, they will

continue to come to our facility.

Every month we get new items that come through

laundry without a name in it. We hold unmarked

clothing for 30 days and then we donate it. As a free

service to our residents, we label their personal

clothing, blankets, etc. with an iron on label printed

with permanent ink. Please report missing clothing

promptly to our Laundry Department. It is a good

idea to check our unclaimed clothing frequently.

We provide clothes hangers for all residents. It is

much less confusing if you take any personal ones

home with you and that you leave ours in the ward-

robes when your resident leaves our facility.

We welcome any concerns or compliments you may

have. We are here to serve you!

We would like to make Eddie Steinmeyer III; Floor

Tech and Celia Holt; Houskeeping Asst. to our Team!

The odds are stacked against us.

Congratulations to JoAnn Sexton

and Crystal Johnson; winners of

our monthly safety drawing. We

reached our goal of 2 years with no

lost time on December 24th, 2010.

This goal was not reached by luck!

It takes each of us committing to

our safety and that of others.

Certain work areas such as Die-

tary , Laundry & the Tub Rooms

are prone to wet floors. Use of non

slip footwear, non-slip matting or

drying the floor (use of a squeegee)

will help prevent accidents. Re-

member to take the time to work

safely!

In Loving

Memory

Mildred Stevens

As I learned of the 2011 Theme for Na-

tional Nursing Home Week—

“Fulfilling the Promise” I thought how

appropriate for Village Care of King.

Fulfilling the Promise for twenty years

now-with the first resident coming to

live with us on July 5, 1991 and to date

over 1,900 residents have called

Village Care home, making many

memories and friends. I personally have

been here as the Activity Director since

June 17, 1991. It has been my honor and

pleasure to serve during these years.

Susan Tillman ADC

Activity Director

NATIONAL NURSING HOME WEEK

May 8-14, 2011

“Fulfilling the Promise”

The sponsor of National Nursing Home week is the American Health Care Association

(ACHCA). The week was created in 1967 and always begins on Mother’s Day.

The Purpose of Activities

“Activities purpose is not to kill time, But to make

time live,

Not to keep a person occupied, But to keep him /

her refreshed,

Not to offer an escape from life, But to provide

a discovery of life.”

SAYINGS FROM MOTHER

Your face is going to freeze that way.

If___jumped off a cliff, would you do it?

It at once you don’t succeed, try , try again.

If at first you see a frown, do not let it stay.

Quickly turn it upside down and smile that frown

away.

You’d forget your head if it wasn’t attached.

Do you think we live in a barn?

The starving children in ___would love to have

your food (which was usually followed by the

child saying, “Well they can have it.”)

If it doesn't kill you , it will make you stronger.

I went through___hours of labor for you.

If you can’t say something nice, don’t say any-

thing at all.

Money doesn’t grow on trees.

When a child threatens to run away...Do you

want me to help you pack?

Pun on clean underwear in case you’re in an acci-

dent.
