VETERANS
May we have your attention please!
You may have noticed our Veteran’s Memorial Shadowbox in the
front lobby. We would love to include all of our Veterans but we
need your help. Family members please bring a photo of your resident in
uniform and give to either Dena Gambs or Angie Patton. We will scan the
photo and return it to you. We will need some information regarding the
branch of service and rank, tour of duty and any other information you
wish to share about your time in the service. We will make 2 copies one
for the shadowbox and one for the family. More copies can be made on request. We would love to honor all of our residents in this way. Staff members and visitors are very interested in reading the memorials in our
shadowbox. We promise we will take very good care of your pictures and
get them back to you promptly. Check out the new memorials we have
added to the shadowbox.

HOUSEKEEPING & LAUNDRY
Safety Committee News
I love this time of year!
Everything has come back to life and
the flowers are blooming . We
truly enjoy the beautiful flowers and plants
that are brought in but please be sure flowers are all
that you are bringing in with you. Last year we had
several occasions where potted plants and cut flowers were harboring lots and lots of ants. We would
prefer the ants stay outside. Please help us with this
by carefully checking plants and flowers.
Congratulations to JoAnn Sexton
and Crystal Johnson; winners of
our monthly safety drawing. We
reached our goal of 2 years with no
lost time on December 24th, 2010.
Please remember to keep resident snacks in an airtight container so as not to draw ants. Our pest
control company comes twice a month and they do a
thorough job. However, if we continue to leave
sweets, snacks and drinks out for them, they will
continue to come to our facility.
Every month we get new items that come through
laundry without a name in it. We hold unmarked
clothing for 30 days and then we donate it. As a free
service to our residents, we label their personal
clothing, blankets, etc. with an iron on label printed
with permanent ink. Please report missing clothing
promptly to our Laundry Department. It is a good
idea to check our unclaimed clothing
frequently.
We provide clothes hangers for all residents. It is
much less confusing if you take any personal ones
home with you and that you leave ours in the wardrobes when your resident leaves our facility.
We welcome any concerns or compliments you may
have. We are here to serve you!
We would like to make Eddie Steinmeyer III; Floor
Tech and Celia Holt; Houskeeping Asst. to our Team!
Angie Patton C.E.H.;
Housekeeping & Laundry Director
This goal was not reached by luck!
It takes each of us committing to
our safety and that of others.
Certain work areas such as Dietary , Laundry & the Tub Rooms
are prone to wet floors. Use of non
slip footwear, non-slip matting or
drying the floor (use of a squeegee)
will help prevent accidents. Remember to take the time to work
safely!

The Purpose of Activities
“Activities purpose is not to kill time, But to make
time live,
Not to keep a person occupied, But to keep him /
her refreshed,
Not to offer an escape from life, But to provide
a discovery of life.”
SAYINGS FROM MOTHER
As I learned of the 2011 Theme for National Nursing Home Week—
“Fulfilling the Promise” I thought how
appropriate for Village Care of King.
Fulfilling the Promise for twenty years
now-with the first resident coming to
live with us on July 5, 1991 and to date
over 1,900 residents have called
Village Care home, making many
memories and friends. I personally have
been here as the Activity Director since
June 17, 1991. It has been my honor and
pleasure to serve during these years.


It at once you don’t succeed, try , try again.

If at first you see a frown, do not let it stay.
Quickly turn it upside down and smile that frown
away.

You’d forget your head if it wasn’t attached.

The starving children in ___would love to have
