Music to Our Ears
Research also shows that when
we listen to music, several areas
of our brains—those governing
movement, attention, planning,
and memory—are simultaneously
activated. In this way, people who
listen to music together are actually
sharing a common experience; all
their brains begin working on the
same wavelength. Doctors speculate
that this is why music is such
a unifying force. Perhaps, too, this
is why there are so many carefully

2015 Resident & Family Satisfaction Survey Tool
Update
It’s that time again, for the roll out of this year’s Resident & Family Satisfaction
Survey. You will see some changes to the tool this year. One positive change is
that the survey can be completed and submitted online, which is very convenient
for most. Below are some other features included in survey tool:
 Separate survey tools will be used to measure resident and family
satisfaction. Although questions will be similar, each survey tool will contain
questions specifically for each target audience.
 The surveys will be released in paper and electronic formats prior to end of
August. Resident and Family Councils will have an opportunity to review the
tools and provide suggestions until September 11. The survey tool will then
become available for completion soon after. The deadline for responses will
be October 16. The results will be available for viewing in January 2016.
We strongly encourage everyone to complete the survey, as it is one way the
home can continue to focus on identified areas for improvement as well as
celebrate our achievements in areas that reflect our strengths.

Music to the Ears, Minds, and Bodies
September is Classical Music Month,
Piano Month, and Southern Gospel
Music Month. As if this isn’t enough
music to our ears, September’s also
a time to get up and dance. This
month marks Square Dancing Month
and the celebration of Line Dancing
Week from September 14–19.
Music is not just an enjoyable
distraction. Research shows that
music has the ability to alter the
chemical processes of the brain in
healthy ways. It may come as no
surprise that music reduces amounts
of the stress hormone cortisol. But
did you know that listening to
pleasurable music actually strengthens
our immune systems? Music is
associated with the antibody
immunoglobulin A, which helps the
immune system identify and fight off
harmful germs and bacteria. Research
now links classical music to
immediate improvements in epilepsy
and autism symptoms and some
spatial reasoning tests (dubbed the
“Mozart Effect”). And classical dance
is being used as therapy for those
with dementia and Parkinson’s.
Participants showed improvements in
motor and cognitive functions, and
other mental symptoms.

Silvert’s Clothing Show November 12th
The nursing home staff aids in the daily dressing of residents and as a result,
they are very educated in identifying any discomfort or problems that may
take place. In the interest of enhancing the service provided to you, we have
made arrangements to assess our facilities clothing needs on a semi-annual
basis.
Here are a few problems that arise in daily dressing:
 Difficulties in dressing due to decreased mobility, swelling or arthritis. Thus
causing a great deal of strain for both resident and staff.
 Difficulty due to incontinence.
 Possible weight gain/loss due to medications or change of environment and
diet.
 Style and fabric of some clothing is incompatible with institutional laundering
techniques. This can lead to a shorter life of the garment and an
unsatisfactory appearance.

Our eldest son and his wife were expecting their first child, so their doctor ordered ultrasound
tests. The technician made some still pictures, and pointed out arms, legs, and other features. A
few days later, I overheard our two sons talking with a friend. The proud papa-to-be boasted,
“The baby looks just like me.” His friend asked how he could tell, to which our second son
replied, “That’s easy. He’s bald and has his foot in his mouth.”
When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, “I’m not sure.” “Look in your
underwear, Grandpa,” he advised. “Mine says I’m 4 to 6.”
I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would
point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was
fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, “Grandma, I think you should
try to figure out some of these colors yourself!”
My young grandson called the other day to wish me a happy birthday. He asked me how old I
am, and I told him that I am 80. My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, “Did
you start at1?”
