Award Winning Volunteers
In the month of May Cedarbrook was delighted to have 2 of our volunteers recognized for their hard
work.
On May 7th Volunteer, Nick Votral was presented with the Northampton
County “Outstanding Senior” awar d as well as citations from sever al
local government officials. It is easy to understand how Nick was chosen
from over 100 nominees. Nick has been a dedicated volunteer for over 11
years. He began volunteering one day a week, saw a need for more and
now comes four days a week. His passion for helping others is obvious in
everything he does. If he sees a need, he jumps in to assist. Nick helps
with activities, events, games, bazaars, was Master of Ceremonies at our
talent show. He actively participates in our Second Wind Dreams
program; “An international organization changing the perception of aging,
one dream at a time.” He even dresses as different characters when
needed. Nick began a pinochle group, one table of players, once a week. His enthusiasm for social
activity and mental engagement of the residents’ has helped the game grow; it is now four tables, four
days a week. He is eager to teach anyone to play. Knowing how much the residents look forward to
his visits, Nick never misses a day. It is obvious that he cares deeply for every resident. Can you put
a value on how Nick’s interactions with residents inspire someone’s self-worth and happiness? No,
you can’t because what Nick gives them is priceless. He knows how to lift the spirits of others. Nick
is extremely modest about his gifts to Cedarbrook. He makes a difference in someone’s life every
time he enters the building. We are very fortunate to have Nick as our volunteer.
On May 21st we were honored to have our volunteer, Rita King chosen for
the Lehigh County “Unsung Hero’s” award, as well as citations from several
local government officials. This award recognizes older adults of our
community who display exceptional generosity with their time and talent to
enhance the lives of others. Rita is a shining example of this kind of person.
Rita’s extraordinary dedication and perseverance to improve the quality of
life for others is staggering. She volunteers as a member of our auxiliary,
where she serves as the treasurer. Her duties as an auxiliary member are
countless. Rita is also a driving force in running two bazaars each year,
where she is helping to organize, make craft items, food and bake goods.
She helps run several raffles and bake sales a year; often donating some of
the items herself. Rita also keeps a stock of assorted greeting cards and
helps residents send cards when appropriate. She brings lots of enthusiasm and encouragement to our
residents when she assists at the weekly bingo game every Friday. Need a listening ear, a warm heart,
some encouragement during a difficult time? Rita is your woman. She has an extraordinary ability to
do a million things to help others, but one of her greatest gifts is her compassion and remarkable
ability to touch others and empower them to use their strengths to strive forward through adversity.
She inspires others to reach within themselves and be their best. She has personal strengths that are
boundless. Rita is a shining example of a truly positive role model for, not only seniors, but for
everyone. Rita brings her grandchildren with her sometimes. She encourages them to interact with
our seniors and help where they can. They are wonderful volunteer trainees. We are blessed to have
this little “dynamo.”

Tips for Keeping Your Money and Valuables Safe
Although we discourage residents from keeping money and valuables in
their room, we realize that many of you will choose to do so. Therefore, we
would like to offer these tips to help you keep your money and valuables safe
from loss or theft. Since you have access to the money in your account during
normal business hours Monday through Friday, we suggest that you only
withdraw the amount you need for immediate use. If you need larger sums of
money for gifts or to reimburse your family members for purchases made on
your behalf, we suggest that you contact Financial Services to arrange for
payment by check. If you choose to keep money and valuables in your room,
we highly recommend that you secure such items in the locked drawer of your
bedside cabinet. Keep your key with you, or keep your key out of sight in a
safe place. As soon as you realize that your money or property is missing, it
is important to report it immediately to the Charge Nurse. Cedarbrook will
not assume responsibility for replacing missing property kept by residents on
their person or in their room. However, we will take action to investigate, and
try to recover your property if possible. Finally, we ask that you help us
maintain a current inventory of your personal property. Any property that you
purchase or receive during your stay should be added to your Valuables
Received After Admission Form, including a description of the property.
This information is essential when trying to locate missing items.

April & May 2015 Dreams fulfilled by
Cedarbrook Dream Catchers...
On April 28th, Kathryn’s dream was to
re-experience hanging out at the “Bar,” like she did
in the “good old days.” Nurse Lois and her team
made sure that Kathryn was all dolled up as she had
an amazing dinner with her son Jay at Emeril’s
Italian Table, played the slot machines and danced to
the “Oldies” music. Kathryn was smiling from ear to
ear, as she cut a rug to an oldie but goodie Elvis song.
Nurse Lois very much enjoyed getting to know even more
about Kathryn’s history. While driving her to the Sands,
Kathryn pointed out where she grew up, the various
landmarks and street names.
Many thanks to Nurse Lois and Susan L. Stachowski of
Sands Casino
The activity room on Station 5 was transformed into an
upscale salon on May 24th to fulfill Eileen’s dream of a Spa
Experience. Her daughter Mary drove all the way up from
Maryland to realize this dream with her mom. Eileen included
her roommate and the other female residents on the unit for
this “ladies only” activity. The Spa Salon included pink
pudding cups for “finger bowls”, cotton candy for “cotton balls”, marshmallows and tootsie rolls
as “nail polish.” Eileen received a make-up application from volunteer Alex, a hairdo from Nurse
Lois and a manicure from Ros. The most delicious part of the dream was eating the pudding finger
bowls, cotton candy and the marshmallow with tootsie rolls.
A big hug to Nurse Lois, Ros and Alex, Therapeutic Recreation Department and
Brenda Radosavich and Loretta Deutsch, Volunteers.
Dietitian’s Corner
Employees’ Birthdays for July
Selenium
Selenium is an antioxidant, helping to protect
against cancers of the colon, prostate, &
lungs. It also helps to boost the immune
system. Because the risk of cancer increases
as we age, it’s important to get enough
selenium each day to minimize your risk. The
recommended intake for Selenium is 55
micrograms daily.
Selenium works in two major ways to fend off
cancer causing free radicals. First it works
side by side with vitamin C, sparing the
vitamin while sharing the antioxidant burden.
Secondly, it is needed for the production of the
enzyme called glutathione peroxidase, which
plays an important role in the immune system.
Fortunately, selenium is easily absorbed.
However, this absorbability also makes it easy
to consume too much, especially if you take a
supplement. Experts recommend that you not
get more than 400 micrograms daily.
The top 10 food sources of Selenium are:
Nuts
Seafood
Fish
Whole wheat bread
Seeds (such as sunflower seeds)
Pork
Beef & lamb
Chicken & turkey
Mushrooms
Whole grains

4th of July Fireworks
It's that time of year again
We're nearing the 4th of July
Nothing quite as pretty
As sparks against the sky
And that is what it means
Freedom it represents for us
A day to set aside
And to make a lot of fuss
We honor our independence
It's what we have always fought for
And even though it's never easy
To keep the enemies from our door
So picnics and bar-b-q's are planned
To celebrate this special day
But stop a moment and remember
The meaning of the brilliant
displays!
