I am pleased to introduce myself as the new Executive Director here at your beautiful community. I am so thrilled to be joining the team here at Belmont Village Thousand Oaks! To share with you a bit about myself, I am originally from Pennsylvania and was born and raised in a small town outside of Erie. I went to college at Penn State University where I was a shot put, hammer and discus thrower on the track and field team. In addition to track and field, I was a four-sport athlete competing in basketball, volleyball, softball and track and field prior to college. My husband, Stephen, and I are still avid volleyball players and coaches. Other hobbies of mine include playing the piano, ceramics and hiking. We have 3 wonderful dogs; 2 silver Labradors, Doogie and Kiera, and a black lab/golden retriever mix named Charlotte. Charlotte frequently comes to work with me; you will love getting to know her! My husband and I will also be welcoming our first child into our lives in October! I began developing my passion at the age of 12 while caring for my grandmother, who was in a vegetative state for 16 years. It was during my time caring for her that I developed an intense passion for caring for people and ensuring that seniors receive great care. Over the years I have worked as a certified nurse aide, medication technician, memory care director and administrator of assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. My husband and I lived in the Bay Area, in Marin County, for many years. We also briefly lived on the coast of North Carolina. But we quickly realized that California was home! We are so excited to be back in California and absolutely love the Thousand Oaks area. Being an Executive Director is my greatest passion as I feel it allows me to be a part of every aspect of our residents’ lives. I truly love what I do and am so fortunate to be able to be a part of this great community and to get to know all of you! I invite you to come see me in my office or stop me when you see me passing through the halls so that we can become better acquainted!

Notes From Music andYoga With Linda
Participants were attentive andalert throughout our practice,keeping a steady pace, from ourwarm up, observing, and slowingdown the breath, to movingfingers one at a time—to which aresident exclaimed, “You curl yourfingers in so beautifully!”
Another resident took a guessas to the benefit of the “forwardbending pose,” saying, “It clearsthe mind, stops negativethoughts”—which it does help do,as it brings fresh oxygen intothe brain.
On the 13th, we closed withInstrumental Irish Music, inhonor of St. Patrick’s Day, with
the group playing percussioninstruments, which they appearedto really enjoy.
And on the 27th I introduced anew activity, with classical musicby Beethoven. Moving smallscarves to the melody proved tobe a fun challenge; everyone tookturns catching, and tossing thescarves into the air, eventuallypassing them to each other, andbeing creative with theirmovements as they swayed to therhythm of the melody. One of theladies commented, “They’re a loteasier on your fingers than a ball.”Indeed, and more fun!
See you on Sunday,Linda

Care Services
OccupationalTherapy Month
Occupational Therapy is therapybased on performing the
meaningful activities of dailyliving, (self-care skills, education,work and social skills), especially
to enable or enhance participationin such activities despite
impairments or limitations inphysical or mental functioning.Occupational therapists are
skilled professionals. Theireducation includes the study ofhuman growth and development,with specific emphasis on thesocial, emotional and physicaleffects of illness and injury. Theyare unique, in that they look atthe whole picture when it comesto a person’s treatment.
They look at the person’sabilities, task to be performed,and the environment in which thetask is to take place.
The older adult benefits fromoccupational therapy becausetheir goal is to assist withregaining or maintaining a level in
independence that will allowthem to age in place for as long aspossible. Occupational therapyhas been proven effective forseniors living with variousmedical conditions or recoveringfrom surgery. In addition toworking with individuals toincrease strength or regainimportant life supporting skills,occupational therapists workthroughout the community,counseling families, localgovernments, and communitygroups to ensure that each isdoing what it can to help olderadults maintain theirindependence.
Belmont Village offers bothoccupational therapy and physicaltherapy services. Our WellnessCenter nurses work closely withour therapists to identify thoseresidents who would benefit fromthese therapies and contacts thefamilies and physicians tocoordinate care.
We encourage, educate andpromote healthy living.
