June Bursts into SUMMER!

Residents celebrated the start of summer by get-ting outside for the annual balloon launch to cele-brate Nursing Home Week. The grounds and courtyards are groomed, and ready for residents to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, and to ‘celebrate life’! Residents are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new bus with easier access, newer technology and larger windows. Our residents love getting out on the bus to enjoy outings and sightseeing. Other activities they are looking forward to this summer are our annual Father-Son Cookout, which will be held June 11 in the evening, TOPS Swing Band, and of course a ride downtown on Lolley the Trolley!

“When I was with my father, when I was just a child, the world was filled

with wonder and every place was wild. And every day was magic, and Santa Claus was true, and all the things that mattered were things my father knew”

Marvette Burnley is all about putting residents first. The Clare Hall state-tested nursing as-sistant holds that belief at the core of her val-ues when at work each day. Marvette’s work ethic, and her devotion to residents and her coworkers alike, helped her to win the April 2018 Franciscan Spirit Award. Marvette was nominated by co-workers Lisa Kotora and Talitha Hickey. “Marvette is always here working a lot of hours and will come in for the supervisor or staffing coordinator if needed,” Talitha said. “She is compassionate and a great worker and team player. She helps anybody who needs it and she loves her residents.” Marvette has been at The Village at Mary-mount for six years. “I really do love the resi-dents,” she said. “They are at the center of all

that I do here and I’m happy to be rewarded with the Spirit Award.” In addition to Marvette, Sherron Brown, Ni-cole Thomas, India Daniel-Dunbar, Ashley Doughty, CinDee Tapaszi, Akila Luke, and Aretha Johnson received nominations for the award.

If you are a Type 2 diabetic trying to infuse your diet with helpful foods, then start incorporating these nine items into your daily

meal plan.

Beans: If you're looking for foods that raise blood-sugar levels slowly and gently, choose high-quality carbohydrates instead of low-quality carbs like refined grains and sugary foods. Whenev-er possible, you'll want to couple these carbs with protein and/or healthy fat. Beans (including black, white, navy, lima, pinto, gar-banzo, soy, and kidney) are a winning combination of high-quality carbohydrates, lean protein, and soluble fiber that helps stabilize your body's blood-sugar levels and keeps hunger in

check.

Oatmeal: Studies have shown that eating a diet rich in whole grains and high-fiber foods may reduce the risk of diabetes by between 35 and 42 percent. An excellent source of both is heart-healthy oatmeal: It's packed with soluble fiber, which slows the absorption of glucose from food in the stomach — keeping

blood-sugar levels under control.

Fish: An outstanding source of lean protein is fresh fish. Choose an environmentally friendly variety like catfish, cod, or tilapia; all are mild-flavored, white-fleshed fish that can

be healthfully prepared by baking, grilling, or roasting.

Nonfat Yogurt: Fat-free yogurt naturally contains both high-quality carbohydrates and protein, making it an excellent food

for slowing or preventing an unhealthy rise in blood sugar.

Almonds: Unsalted almonds provide a healthy, low-carb mix of monounsaturated fats plus magnesium, which is believed to be

instrumental in carbohydrate metabolism.

Nonstarchy Vegetables: Chock-full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, nonstarchy vegetables (such as broccoli, spinach, mush-rooms, and peppers) are an ideal source of high-quality carbo-hydrates. Wild Salmon: Omega-3s from food help reduce your risk of heart disease, which is important for those with type 2 diabetes, whose risk of cardiovascular disease is already elevated. Egg Whites: Rich in high-quality lean protein and low in carbs, egg whites are another healthy choice for controlling or prevent-

ing type 2 diabetes.

Avocado: Avocado is high in monounsaturated fats, which are

generally considered among the healthiest of fats.

Nursing Notes:

Nine Foods You Should Be Eating for Type 2 Diabetes

Greetings from the Sisters of St. Joseph, TOSF

Summer has definitely arrived – it’s an absolute must to get outside and enjoy the “greenness” before sun, heat and lack of rain begins to fade the amazing bright colors! We also must remember that we won’t complain about that when it happens because a little “scorched” earth can still look nice among summer’s hardy annuals and perennials!

Writing these words caused me to glance at a picture on my desk – a picture of our resident, Jane Whittle, who passed away in May. She is holding a tea cup, smiling broadly, and our life enrichment staff surrounded her with a border of bright flowers as they created the “In Loving Memory” poster. In so many ways, Jane exemplified all our residents, present and past, and the best of who we are. Jane was loving, kind, simple and direct. She loved people, loved living at The Village at Marymount, and as her cousin shared with us, Jane probably had more friends here than at any other time in her life. Jane embraced everything that was good about life here and quickly overlooked and forgave any thoughtless or unkind actions. When seri-ous illness beset her, Jane tried to overcome her fears, cooperated with what she needed to do. Jane even found a way to enjoy her “road trips” to dialysis and promised to be back as soon as possible when being taken to the hospital.

Jane’s simplicity and directness was both a blessing and a curse for her. Sometimes it caused her to “get on our nerves” in a loving sort of way, but it certainly made clear how much she loved and needed us! On the morning of her last day, before being taken to heaven so suddenly, Jane apologized to nurses and therapists that she “just couldn’t do it” anymore. The end-less stream of staff and residents coming to her room to say their “good-byes” pretty much said it all – the best of who we are here at The Village at Marymount is found in every single one of us. We are as happy and sad, as kind and compassionate as each of us is. We are as much of a loving and caring community as each one of us is. And I boldly presume to add – we are as good as so many people discover us to be because our positive, responsive, loving, simple, do and say the right thing words and actions toward each other far, far outnumber any negativity that tries to sneak in among us once in a while!!

Let’s always celebrate how very good we are, then set out to make ourselves even better! Jane Whittle, God bless her, will be looking down and cheering us on!!

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers! If you’re interested in joining us as a volunteer, please contact

Marymount Place resident’s celebrate Mother’s Day with Luncheon and Vintage Fashion Show

Joe and Bea Mytro have literally spent every day of the past 65 years together. As residents of Mary-mount Place and The Village at Marymount in Gar-field Heights they continue to spend each day to-gether. Surrounded by friends and staff, the Mytros enjoyed a May 9 anniversary lunch together – and later a special dinner together in the Marymount Place pri-vate dining room. The Mytros were married on that day in 1953 amid a large ceremony attended by fam-ily and friends in Cleveland. When asked what is the key to such a lengthy mar-riage, Mrs. Mytro replied: "Just remember ... you're not always right." The Mytros have made the adjustment to their new home and continue to enjoy each other every day in their new home. Their family encourages friends to send cards and well wishes on their wonderful mar-riage and many years together to: Joe and Bea Mytro The Village at Marymount 5200 Marymount Village Drive Suite 315 Garfield Heights OH 44125

Mytros Celebrate 65th

Anniversary at The Village at Marymount

The Village at Marymount hosted its ninth Mission Day Mass on May 16 in its Assisi Hall Chapel. Bishop Roger Gries, OSB, once again officiated over the Mass, and anointed the hands of all staff members, residents, and caregivers in at-tendance. For the past seven years, the Mass has grown to include all the ministries on the Marymount Intergenerational Health and Education Campus, including Marymount Hospital, Marymount Child Care Center, Trinity High School, the Franciscan Center, and The Village at Marymount. Students from the Marymount Child Care Center sang “One Small Voice” as the opening hymn. Trinity High School pro-vided altar servers and enhance the celebration with one of its choir groups getting everyone singing along with heart and soul. The group concluded the celebration by singing “Shout to The Lord.” In previous years, Marymount Hospital included its own Mis-sion Day celebration during the day with displays depicting the heritage of its healing ministry. Hospital staff who attend-ed the Mass said it was the perfect way to bring to full circle the fact that the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis founded and continue to sponsor and support the campus ministries. The Village at Marymount is the “youngest” ministry on the campus having opened in

February 2007. Sister Mary Alice Jarosz initiated the Mission Day Mass within a year of becoming Director of Mission Integration in 2009. Since most of her religious life and ministry has been focused on the campus, she couldn’t help but go beyond The Village at Marymount and include everyone on campus. “After all, to me that is the true meaning of integration,” she said.
