Out & About
Our residents enjoyed a delicious trip to Janak’s Country Market in Hallettsville. The food was
delicious and of course the company was great too!
World Alzheimer’s Day
World Alzheimer’s Day is September 21st. So many of our residents
suffer from this disease and the dementia that comes with it. Shiner Nursing & Rehab is dedicated
to making our residents lives the very best they can be in spite of the challenges they face as the
disease progresses. As we continue to learn more about the best ways to communicate and care
for our residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s we’d like you to help us raise awareness of this
day and disease.
We are asking all of our family members and members of the community to send us a
picture of a favorite memory in your life and/or a family member’s life. We will post these pictures
on our Facebook page with the tag line “Making Memories Stick.” We will celebrate with a
slideshow of the these memories and sticky buns at our facility on September 21st at 3:30pm.
Families and members of the community are encouraged to attend, our residents and staff always
love a full house of visitors at our events!
Please send your memories to Becky at rseibert@arboretumgroup.com by Monday,
September 19th. Be sure to include who is in the picture and the memory associated with
it. We will also be selling post-it notes to raise money for the National Alzheimer’s Association at
our “Making Memories Stick” event. Please let us know if you’ll be able to join us on Wednesday,
September 21st and start sending in those memories! Remember to “like” our page on
Facebook so you can see everyone’s memories!
Awesome August
August was a busy and HOT month here at Shiner Nursing & Rehab! The rising temperatures didn’t
stop us from celebrating life, reaching goals and welcoming our neighbors.
At our August Birthday party we only had 1 birthday to celebrate, Mrs. Marie Labay. The party was
sponsored by The United Methodist Church. All their volunteers that came to the party definitely made it a
special party for Mrs. Labay and the rest of our residents. Irene Cerny and Diane Schroeder enter tained
all our guests with music while they enjoyed cake and punch. We’d like to thank Raintree Florist for the
beautiful corsages they always donate to our birthday honorees.
We also hosted all the other area nursing homes for a community bingo. Facilities from all the surrounding areas enjoyed food, fellowship and of course some bingo games in our dining room. Our therapy
department went “Out & About” with a patient to the Praha Picnic! Some of our staff had to tag along to
help bring back the delicious picnic plates and scope out the area for next year’s outing. Plan on joining us
next year for the fun and food in Praha.

Up Coming Care Plans
Each week at Shiner Nursing & Rehabilitation, the nursing, dietary, social services and activity department heads
meet to review care plans, either for an initial, quarterly or an annual review. The dates, as well as the residents
who are due for review on those dates, are listed below. They are listed in hopes that family members, residents
and/ or responsible parties, who would like to attend the care plan meeting, can make arrangements to do so. This
is also a time when we encourage loved ones to voice concerns they may have. The care plan reviews are held on
Thursdays between the hours of 2:30 and 4: 00 p.m. Each residents is allowed a 15-minute time frame for review.
If family members or responsible parties have any questions or wish to set up an appointment, please feel free to
call 361-594-3353 and speak to Loretta Bell LVN. This month the following care plans will be reviewed.
