Winchester Boulevard • San Jose, CA 95128 • Phone 408-984-4767 • Fax 408-984-0767 January 2013 Our Team Scott Ambrose Executive Director [email protected] Eloisa Abayan Director Resident Care Services [email protected] Muhamed Burek Building Engineer [email protected] Jose Speede Community Relations jspeede@ belmontvillage.com Peggy Bulger Community Relations [email protected] Radhika Singh Activity Programs Coordinator [email protected] Nancy Bess Memory Programs Coordinator [email protected] Josue Dominguez Chef Manager [email protected] Nancy Vaughan Human Resources [email protected] Scott’s Corner Happy New Year, Residents and Families, It’s hard to believe that 2012 has already come and gone. As we say farewell to 2012 I want to thank the many residents and families who made donations to our employee appreciation fund. Our staff truly appreciates the generosity and appreciation shown to them by our families and residents. To me, the start of a new year is exhilarating. It is a time to set new goals in both our professional and personal lives. It is a time when we are reminded that almost any goal is within reach if we remain determined to accomplish it throughout the year. It is also a time when we can take inventory of our lives and refocus our efforts on being a little kinder, a little more selfless, and a little more dedicated to meaningful and worthy causes. The author of Man’s Search for Meaning, Victor Frankl said, “What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.” Belmont Village of San Jose has many opportunities available for those interested in taking on Victor Frankl’s challenge. If you are interested in achieving new physical fitness goals, we invite you to participate in our daily exercises classes and to make use of the exercise equipment on the 4th floor in our Center for Life Enhancement. If you are looking for opportunities to stretch and challenge your mind, work to attend as many MBA (Mind Body Awareness) activities as possible. If you would like to take a step out of your comfort zone and make new friends, we challenge you to attend the many activities and social events held throughout the month in our building. 2013 promises to be a rewarding and fulfilling year at Belmont Village of San Jose. As we seek to focus on “striving and struggling for worthy goals,” I am confident we will find ourselves happier and feeling more fulfilled.

Night-6th **Capturing the Moments** **COF News** During the month of January the Circle of Friends residents and staff will be learning about outer space. We will discuss stars, the Earth and its moon, space shuttles, and the NASA program. We also plan to make special trips to the NASA Ames Research Center and the De Anza Planetarium. In addition, be sure to come observe some out of this world art displayed on the 2nd floor. **Neighborhood News** The Neighborhood residents look forward to learning about and celebrating some very special people during the month of January. We will discuss the lives of Elvis Presley, Albert Einstein, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Everyone is looking forward to talking about these individuals’ contributions to the world as well as creating some beautiful and unique portraits of them. **DRCS News** January is a month of much recognition, celebrations and remembrances: New Year’s Day, Ben Franklin’s and Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthdays, Inauguration Day, plus many more. It can also be a celebration of a new beginning, a fresh start, a clean slate. We often make a New Year’s resolution in hopes of getting healthier in the New Year. We start eating healthier, exercising and sometimes we start to notice signs and symptoms of something that is “just not right.” January also recognizes National Eye Care and Glaucoma awareness month. Our eyesight is very important to us; greater than 2.2 million Americans age 40 and older have glaucoma. There are no early symptoms, sometimes people have no symptoms at all, which leads to over half of those affected with glaucoma not even knowing they have the disease. It is often called a “sneak thief of sight.” Glaucoma is an eye condition that affects the optic nerve. The cause is unknown; there is an increase in eye pressure that pushes on the optic nerve, causing damage to the optic nerve. Once vision loss occurs, the damage is already severe, signs and symptoms or loss of side (peripheral) vision or tunnel vision. Advanced glaucoma can lead to blindness. There are four major types of glaucoma: • Open-angle glaucoma is the most common, generally runs in families, but there are often no early symptoms. • Angle-closure glaucoma— you may experience severe pain in one eye, cloudy vision, red eye, or your eye feels swollen. • Congenital glaucoma generally occurs when the child is a few months old, cloudiness in front of the eye is noted, and enlargement of one or both eyes. • Secondary glaucoma is caused by drugs such as corticosteroids, systemic diseases or trauma. Early detection is imperative to retaining healthy eye(s). A complete eye exam is needed to diagnosis glaucoma. Your ophthalmologist or optometrist can help detect this disease by running a battery of eye tests, including dilating your eyes and using special lenses to look into your eye. Treatment depends on the type of glaucoma you have, but most often includes eye drops, laser therapy and/or oral medication to reduce pressure. Please let your nurse at Belmont Village Wellness Center know if you are experiencing any signs or symptoms of glaucoma or any other eye condition, so we can assist you with setting up an appointment with your specialist.
