Employee Appreciation Fund
TO: All independent Living Residents
FROM: Your Resident Advisory Council
As you know there is a “no tipping” policy here at The Cascades. The staff does so much
to make our lives pleasant, and we do have a way to acknowledge and thank them. Once a
year we can show our appreciation by making a pre-Christmas gift to the Employee
Appreciation Fund.
Your Resident Council will divide the funds received among only hourly employees such
as housekeeping, dining services, drivers, concierge, maintenance and activities staff. The
amount they receive is based upon how many hours each employee worked during the year.
Funds will be divided 75% to Independent Living hourly employees and 25% to Linville hourly
employees. You may designate where you want your gift to go if you desire a different
contribution.
We are often asked, “How much should I give?” After careful consideration, your
Council suggests an appropriate gift of $500.00 or more per person. This equates to $1.37 per
day for the services we receive.
We ask that you place your check in a sealed envelope marked “Employee Appreciation
Fund” and place it in the mailbox on the wall by the Administrative office (near the Concierge.)
Your gift can be made any time before November 15th, 2016. Individual checks will be
prepared and distributed to all qualifying employees at our Employee and Member meeting on
December 2nd, 2016, at 3:30pm. We hope you will mark your calendars and come to
experience the gratitude of our employees as they receive their checks and express their
thanks.

Humane Society
Lynn, myself, and the Greenville Humane Society would like to thank everyone who places their newspapers in
the Library "boxes" and those on floor 2 of Connestee for taking the time to do so. We are delivering 4 large
boxes of papers twice a week to the Humane "newspaper drop bins" and they could use more. If anyone
thinks the deliveries by us are over, THEY are dead wrong !
Please keep the papers coming--the GHS cats and dogs love them, and are learning to read ! Thanks again .

Behold the Man!- Jesus’ apostles and Jewish disciples came to know him first as a Rabbi and only later
as the risen Savior. For second-generation and subsequent believers, however, the process was
reversed. First they encountered in faith the risen and reigning Son of God, and only later – if at all –
did they come to learn in any depth about the man, Yeshua MiNatzeret(Jesus of Nazareth).

News from the Trail October #2
The continuing warm
weather has delayed the fall
color for most leaves. This
photo is an exception that
illustrates an old adage; “if
you look closely, there is
some good to be found in
everything”. This is poison
ivy, one of the early and
brighter reds in the fall
pallet.
Although I have never
seen the stream run dry,
the current drought, if it
persists, will
certainly challenge the
minnows in their pools.
While the water level is
down, we are offered an
opportunity to observe the
depth of its carved path
cutting through the woods.
I’m sure it was here long
before us and its springs
along the way offered many
uses for the natives and
settlers.
The trail surface is currently very nice. We hope that
when the rains come, they will be gentle.

Just a reminder that if you are not sure where to get help for ANYTHING, please call or email me. I am here to help you and guide
you to the right source and can help you figure out needs. Some things you may need to ask about are: help with running errands,
need for a Nurse, a shot someone should give you, wound care, help with showering, laundry etc.
Also, please keep in mind that I bring several health providers here on site for your convenience, they are:
*Audiologist *Podiatrist *Dietitian AND we have onsite outpatient therapy services here at the Cascades.
You can call me with questions about these services anytime. Many are prescheduled and I can tell you when that will take place.
***If you are newer to our campus and you feel ready to initiate some wellness/fitness activity, please call me directly and we will
agree on a day to meet for an assessment. This entails filling out health-related paperwork, which usually is handed out to folks by
marketing upon moving. I don’t know when some of you are settled and “unboxed”, it’s best for you to let me know.***
Wellness seminar: I will be announcing our November wellness seminar over the next couple weeks.
New topic, new interest, great education for all Please look out for a flyer from me over the next few weeks.

IMPORTANT!!!
Please read. If you are new you may not know this; if you’ve
been here a while, it will remind you that you can plan postoperative dressing changes and nursing care at your
residence ahead of time. I have met with a representative
of a local homecare agency who can provide you with
nursing assistance, dressing changes etc. This requires a
little bit of foresight pre-operatively. Speak with me directly
as soon as you find out that you will require these services
and I will go over the form with you. Most insurance plans
cover this home care service, I will provide you with contact
information if you’d like to call ahead. If you’ve had an
emergency procedure and were sent home after and you
require dressing changes, it’s not too late to get this process
started. Have your family or a friend stop by and I’ll pass the
application form along. If I’m not here, have the concierge
email me and I’ll pass necessary information on to them.
Most importantly, keep in mind that when you live in
Independent living,
Linville nursing staff cannot provide this service by standard
regulation.
Reach out to me when you are not sure what you need to
do next and I’ll help best I can
