Sadie’s CornerHappy Summer! Time to have
fun in the sun, but keep thesunscreen close by. Skin cancer isa major threat to people of all agesand the only prevention is tocover up. Thank goodness hats are“in” – wear them! If you can’t seeyourself in a hat, then at least putsunscreen on exposed skin.Sunscreen is another way toprevent damaging the skin. Drinkextra water in summer months –enjoy your lemonade or iced tea.Hydration keeps you healthy anddecreases your chance of gettingurinary tract infections. So drinkup to stay out of the E.R.!
We moved the statues inJosephine’s Kitchen – did younotice? The tall beach-bark wallstatues are now in the hallway,instead of in the center of the wallspace. We purchased anothertable, just like the other two, andreplaced it along the wall. Thecarpet is going to stay for the timebeing. The installers, BelmontVillage designers, and anindependent carpet installingexpert, have all weighed in – andeveryone agrees. The carpet is alight color and probably too lightfor a restaurant. We are going toclean it professionally twice amonth, rather than our typicalonce a month schedule, to addressthe wear and tear.

Dads, Grads, Brides,and Doughnuts?
Written by ThereseJune marks the halfway point
in our calendar year and containsthe longest daylight hours andsunshine to date. The month wasnamed after Juno, the goddess ofmarriage and the well being ofwomen. This and the extradaylight may be the reason brideschoose June for their weddingsmore than any other month. Asthe saying goes, “Marry in themonth of May and you’ll surelyrue the day. Marry when Juneroses grow, over land and seayou’ll go!”
Dads are also popular thismonth as we celebrate Father’sDay on June 19th. People in thiscountry and around the world willhonor their fathers for theircontributions and sacrifices. Theholiday is thought to be foundedby Sonora Dodd in 1910. She andher five siblings were raised bytheir single-parent dad. PresidentsWoodrow Wilson and CalvinCoolidge each tried to makeFather’s Day an official US holidaybut failed. Finally, Richard Nixonsigned it into law in 1972.Popular ideas for celebrationsinclude going to church together,family barbeques, attendingsporting events, or just letting dadnap peacefully on the couch!
For many students June marks along anticipated day, graduation!Depending on one’s age this can
mean anything from highereducation and parental freedomto stepping into the “real world”with their first full time job. Eitherway, graduation signifies thefulfillment of educational goals.Fun fact, Michael Kearney ofAlabama is currently the youngestgraduate of high school andcollege. He finished high school atage 6 and completed hisBachelor’s Degree by the ripe ageof 10, talk about goals!
Even if you aren’t celebrating agraduation, birthday, oranniversary this month don’tdespair, June is also NationalDoughnut Month! The SalvationArmy established this day in 1938to honor the Dough Lassies,female volunteers who madedoughnuts for soldiers servingoverseas as a way to boost morale.This effort was successful and ledsoldiers to use the slogan“Doughnuts will win the war!”
Cheers to all the dads, grads,and brides out there...we hopeyou sit back, relax and enjoy aglazed old fashioned!
The Salvation Army providing thetroops with doughnuts during the
war!
Life’s Great at theCoast!
Happy birthday, Claire!

Nurse’s NoteNational Safety MonthAdults 55 and older are more
prone to becoming victims offalls, and the resulting injuries candiminish the ability to lead active,independent lives. The number offall deaths among those 65 andolder is four times the number offall deaths among all otherage groups.
We can all encourage residentsto participate in daily exerciseclasses. Staying active has shownto reduce fall risks in older adults.Belmont Village and Rehab Careoffer various exercise and wellnessprograms to suite everyone’sfitness level.
Check apartments daily for anytripping hazards. Phone lines andoxygen tubing should never beobstructing a walkway. Please alertthe wellness center if you aretaking any new medications, as
many side effects could triggera fall.
Residents should always usetheir walking aide, even insidetheir apartments. Check to makesure your walker is by yourbedside at night. Walkers andcanes should be checked for anyloose or malfunctioning parts.
Families, residents, andemployees should immediatelyreport any safety concerns in thecommunity.
Spills should be reportedimmediately and attended toswiftly to prevent any slips on wetsurfaces. Always use wet floorsigns when necessary.
Most importantly try to exercisegood judgment and never attemptan obstacle or task that you feelmight not be safe handled alone.Don’t hesitate to ask forassistance; prevention is key forstaying healthy.
Neighborhood NewsCaregivers and family have the
challenge of understanding andadvocating for a person withDementia. Part of what makesBelmont Village’s staff successfulin providing superior quality ofservice for our residents is thedementia training each staffmember attends annually – a partof that training focuses on,Communication. Communicationis vital between two people, it’simportant for our staff to enhancetheir abilities to closely listen,interpret and respond to a personwith dementia in a positivemanner.
An example of this would be aperson with dementia mayrepetitively say, “I want to gohome.” Through investigating theword itself- “home” may not justmean a structural setting for aperson with dementia, but alsothe feelings tied in with being athome. Such feelings can be of joy,warmth, and a sense of safety.Being patient and kind whilecommunicating will aid in apositive engagement.
