THIS MONTH’S ROBERT SMITH
This month’s Resident Spotlight is on Robert Smith. He was born on March 18 in
West Virginia and grew up on a house with a farm. He had three brothers, Jim, Bill
and John, as well as one sister, Darlene, who likes to go by Sherry. He remembers as
a child doing chores around the house and riding bikes through the countryside.
Robert has a great sense of humor. You can always count on him to tell a good joke
or brighten up your day. He is always sharing stories from the news or paper and
helping us keep up to date with the facts. Everyone at Harbour is happy to have
him here and a part of the family.
Here are a few interesting facts about Robert you might not know ...
Where did you last work?
R.R. Donnelley’s. I laid out pages for the
print shop.
What are some of your favorite hobbies?
I enjoy bowling and playing golf.
What is your favorite candy?
Anything chocolate!
If you could pick one moment in your life
you are proudest of, what would it be?
My proudest day would be when I married
my wife, Sharron.
Lastly, if you could pick a favorite quote to
share with us, what would it be?
Anything from Thomas Jefferson like:
“He’s trampling through the vinyard,
where grapes of wrath are stored. His truth
goes marching on!”
JOIN US THIS MONTH FOR
reflexology
Join us on Wednesday, March 4, for our first
Reflexology session. Never heard of this program
before? What is it all about? Let me tell you!
We have invited several certified reflexologist
to visits the building for a session. They will
dedicate 15 minutes to each person, so sign up
for the program. In that 15 minutes they will
give hand massages while listening to relaxing
background melodies. They use specific scents
and sounds to relax the mind, body, nerves,
muscles, etc.
The idea is to have you leave this session
feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The session
will only cost 5$ and will be worth every
minute of it. There will be a sign-up sheet in
the Bistro. Be sure to sign up before the time
slots are filled! Everyone deserves a relaxing
massage now and then. Can’t wait to see you
there for this one-of-a-kind program.
TRAIN YOUR BRAIN
Thank you, Robert, for sharing your story
with us!

word from your executive director
Will March be in like a lion and out like a lamb? Was the groundhog right or wrong
about six more weeks of winter? It remains to be seen. But I know many of the residents
are hoping for an early spring so that they can get outside walking again. As springtime
brings with it new beginnings, you may notice some new faces among the staff. Please
welcome our new team members to the Harbour family. They come to us via glowing
recommendations and with superb professional credentials. The team is growing stronger
to provide the “Beautiful Lifestyle” the residents are accustomed to living here at Harbour.

THIS MONTH’S
chart hero
CARING, HONESTY, APPRECIATION,
RESPECT, TEAMWORK
Kathy has worked at the Harbour of Fort
Wayne since 2003.
Kathy received this honor (Heart of
CHART) through several votes from the
residents and her peers as well. Many of the
people who nominated Kathy emphasized
her hard work. She is constantly staying
busy helping the residents or her fellow
team members.
EVENT RECAP
mini moo and bessie
Have you seen the new faces around our community yet? If not, you’re missing out!
Join us on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. to meet
Bessie and Mini Moo. They are two beautiful Great Danes with so much love to
give. (Both of these Great Danes are certified therapy dogs from P.A.W.S.)
The pups enjoy showing off a little for us with tricks here and there. Bessie and Mini
Moo have a great personality and loved to be pet. They might be intimidating at first
because of their size, but really it just means they have more love to give to us!
MANAGEMENT TEAM
Sherri Berghoff, Executive Director
Holly Barnett, Director of Resident Programs
Tammy Gerardot, Business Office Manager
Marie Decker, Director of Sales & Marketing
Kelvin Jones, Dining Services Director
April Dager, Legacy Court Director
One person wrote on the nomination
form: “She is great in what she does! She
is always busy. Kathy is always going above
and beyond with her job. She never stops,
always finding things to do while working
third shift.”
Another team member wrote: “Kathy has
been her for a while, always working third
shift. By working third shift, people don’t
get to see the great work she does. Always
busy doing everything she can for residents
and the nursing staff. She gives a helping
hand by staying over and is an all-around
good worker.”
Kathy Martin is a valuable part of the
team at Harbour. We are happy to have the
opportunity to show her our appreciation
in this way. Thank you!
