Would you believe that in Arizona, there are literally over 2,000 licensed assisted living communities?! I don’t know of another that enjoys having nurses administer medications to assisted living residents 100% of the time. And to this day, there are very few that are committed to having nurses on-site around-the-clock. The same goes for having on-site therapy services...in this industry, that’s very rare. Talk about a special place! Patricia’s dream has evolved into 25 Belmont Villages around the country and later this year, the first Belmont will open in Mexico City. And to think that all of this started with a dream and commitment 19 years ago. On behalf of our wonderful staff and myself, thanks for sharing in this incredible adventure! From May Day and Mother’s Day to Memorial Day, the month of May is loaded with wonderful activities, honors and tributes. All of us hope you will plug-in and participate.

Reduce Your Riskof Stroke
Since 1989, May has beendesignated as National StrokeAwareness Month. Stroke happenswhen blood flow to part of thebrain is interrupted.
Fortunately, perhaps due toincreased awareness, stroke deathrates dropped 35 percent between1998 and 2008. However, everyyear, stroke still kills more than133,000 people in the U.S., and isa leading cause of serious,long-term adult disability.
Stroke occurs slightly morefrequently in women than men,and African-Americans have anincreased risk for the disease.
Some things you can do tolessen your risk of stroke are:control blood pressure andcholesterol levels, don’t smoke,
limit alcohol consumption, eat ahealthy diet, and exerciseregularly.
There are warning signs of astroke, and acting quickly whenstroke is suspected is critical. TheNational Stroke Associationsuggests the FAST test when strokeis suspected:
Face. Ask the person to smile.Note if one side of the facedroops.
Arms. Ask the person to raiseboth arms. See if one driftsdownward.
Speech. Ask the person to repeata simple sentence. Listen forslurred speech.
Time. If you observe any ofthese signs, call 911 immediately.
Learn more about the diseaseand its prevention and treatmentat www.Stroke.org.

May is the month we celebratemotherhood. We all have haddifferent experiences with ourmothers or being a mother, but ifasked, most of us could list thequalities that the “best of the best”possess. Recently, the Circle ofFriends residents spent timereminiscing and sharing theirthoughts about the complexitiesof motherhood. We hope youenjoy reading their responsesbelow.
“A good mother takes care ofher children. My mom dideverything with respect andhonor. I love and miss her.”– Corky
“A mother is good on her own,cooks, cleans and teaches herchildren. My dad died when I wasyoung; mom had to be both afather and mother. She did a greatjob.” – Dorothy
“A mother takes good care ofher children and makes everyeffort to be home with them.Mom had me late in life. I wasraised with my sister’s kids andmom took care of all of us.”– Pearl
“A mom should always listen.My wife taught our children bothItalian and American culture. Shewas constantly learning andshowing our kids that you are
never too old to learn.” – John“ My mom is very nice, calls me
and shows me she cares. She doeseverything for others.” – Barbara
NeighborhoodOur five senses help us
interpret the world around us. Ifyou think about it, most of yourmost vivid memories areassociated with strong sensoryexperiences. The blue of the sky,mixed with the smell of fresh cutgrass and the sound of childrenlaughing, instantly take you backto a relaxed childhood summerspent playing. The connectionbetween our senses and thecreation of long-term memories isundeniable. That is whysensory-based activities are apowerful way to make newconnections in our brains andstrengthen existing ones. This iswhy sensory activities are a part ofevery day in the Neighborhood.The Canadian Association ofOccupational Therapists (CAOT)explains that sensory stimulationworks best when it uses familiar,everyday objects. A few examplesof the sensory activities providedinclude: residents getting theirhair done, sing-a-longs & lookingat photos. These activities seek tostimulate the senses and produceoverall feelings of well-being.
