If you have scheduled (elective) surgery coming up, which was arranged independently by you, please inform the Resident Care Center nurse at ext. 1032, so that any aftercare (meals, follow-ups, dressing changes, rehab in Clearwater) can be provided, if needed. It will also help the staff to “check in” and support you during your recuperation.
If you need an “emergency bag” or help with the one you have, please contact the Resident Care Center at ext. 1030 for assistance.
The dog days of summer are here! Please remember to remain hydrated by increasing your water intake. Avoid excessive, direct sun exposure (no more than 30 minutes), which can compound dehydration. Increased confusion can be a symptom of dehydration, and decreased thirst sensation is common in the elderly. So please remember to drink plenty of water, even if you aren’t thirsty.
The Trips Committee announced a new trip for Thursday, Sept. 26. It will be to the Dia Beacon Museum, Beacon, NY.
Opened in 2003 in a former Nabisco box-printing factory overlooking the Hudson River, the museum has huge galleries with wonderful natural light and showcases modern and contemporary works by artists of the 1960s and 1970s to the present.
The permanent collection includes art by Richard Serra, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, and Andy Warhol, and more recently Charlotte Posenenske, Lee Ufan and Sam Gilliam.
This excursion will fill up fast so get yourself to the Activities Alcove, look for the Trips Book and get on the list.
Questions? Speak to Jan Myers.
