Touchmark welcomes Family Nurse Practitioner Mary BucklandMary Buckland, APRN-BC, is now holding office hours at Touchmark Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8 am to noon for residents and team members. Services include primary care, walk-in urgent care, and lab draws. Mary earned her master’s and family nurse practitioner certification from Rockhurst College in Kansas City in 2004. Her nurse practitioner experience includes nephrology, internal medicine, family practice, and urgent care.

Before becoming a nurse practitioner, Mary worked as a registered nurse. In 2008, she started providing mobile health care services to older adults throughout Clark County. Residents and team members can call the front desk to make an appointment.

Touchmark Car Show set for June 21The annual Touchmark at Fairway Village Car Show and Barbecue is scheduled for Saturday, June 21 from 10 am to 2 pm. The popular summer event draws thousands of car enthusiasts to take in the classic cars, hot rods, and custom vehicles.

“Car enthusiasts say this is one of the area’s best car shows,” says Kellie Wagnild, Resident Relations manager. “It’s a fun day, and a fundraiser for Loaves & Fishes, since people can give a donation during the barbecue.”

There’s no charge for the event, and all are invited.

CAPTURING DELIGHT{FULL} MOMENTS

Professional organizer and speaker Vicki Norris presented In Order to Move. While sharing practical tips, Vicki encouraged people to embrace the process. “Take ‘organizing’ out of your vocabulary and replace it with ‘order.’ Order is living a life around your priorities,” says Vicki, adding, “Your home should be a platform for you.” The next presentation will be July 9 and focus on financial paperwork.

Host Stella Satern welcomes everyone to the Mother’s Day Tea Party, complete with elegant cups of tea and vocal entertainment by Brandee Cone.

Do you have a computer, iPad, or smart phone?

Brian PryorExecutive Vice President

Research on cognition and memory is finding that people who participate in more mentally stimulating activities have a slower rate of decline in memory (Wilson, et al, 2013, Journal of Neurology). Apps and websites like Fit Brains, Lumosity, Tetris, Sudoku2 all work on your computer, tablet device, or smart phone.

Touchmark recently conducted a webinar with team members that covered cutting-edge ideas for activities and cognitive stimulation. We now are working to develop programming throughout Touchmark communities that takes advantage of this technology for enhancing memory.

If you own or intend to purchase a computer, tablet, or smart phone and would like to participate in learning how to use it, please let us know. Also, if you have a favorite website or app that helps build the brain, please send an email to FullLife@Touchmark.com. Let’s learn together what can benefit all of us as we exercise our brains and boost memory.
