January 2019 NEVADA SENIOR SERVICES
The Adult Day Care Centers of Las
Vegas and Henderson wish our
families a Happy and Healthy New
Year! Our Centers strives to create a place
of fun, love, kindness and caring. We would
like to encourage all of our participants to
try a new activity at our center. Discover a
new kind of music, make a new friend,
create a new picture and enjoy new life
experiences. We will be making New Year’s
resolutions and see how long we will keep
them. Please join us as we celebrate the
start of another amazing year.
This month, we will be honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
by celebrating peace, acceptance and justice. We will be writing
poetry, listening and moving to inspiring music, and creating art.

Happy 2019!
Many thanks to our WYNN Las
Vegas team of ANGELS for another
delicious and successful holiday
luncheon. All the delicious food at
the Adult Day Care Centers of Las
Vegas and Henderson was donated
for these wonderful events with kind
generosity from Wynn Las Vegas.
Julie Murray of Moonridge Group, her amazing staff
and some incredible donors connected to her
organization helped one of our families this Christmas
after a tragic loss. Just days before the holiday, the
main caregiver (a mother & grandmother) passed away
suddenly. The Moonridge Angels generously provided
food, toys and clothing
for this family of 7 in their
most sorrowful & urgent
time of need. We are all
blessed to have these
Moonridge Angels in our
Nevada Senior Services
Family. Thank you!
Celebrating the Holidays
with our furry friends!
They are making regular
visits
alternating
Thursdays.

REMINDER: Adult Day Care Center of Las Vegas is open 7 days a week & closed
ONLY on 2 Holidays– Thanksgiving Day & Christmas Day.
Please make reservations on other Holidays & Sundays
so we can accommodate our participants with proper staffing. Thank You so MUCH !
We have Tai Chi/ Chi Kung & Yoga Classes. Tai Chi/Chi Kung &
Yoga are a combination of choreographed seated or standing
movement, sound vibrations and guided meditations. These
practices promote healing and relaxation by releasing negative
emotions such as worry, anxiety, grief and anger.
GETTING SCENT-IMENTAL JASMINE is the January
scent. In a study presented at the Eastern Psychological
Association Conference in 2011, researchers analyzed 20
people as they slept in rooms scented with jasmine, lavender, or
nothing. Participants moved the least during
sleep and rated their anxiety levels lowest after smelling jasmine.
They also performed better on cognitive tests. The beautiful aroma
makes a classic scented black tea. Happy Hibernating zzz From Readers Digest
OWN YOUR OWN MASTERPIECE Proceeds from the purchase of artwork,
calendars or cards help fund art supplies and
other special programs at the Adult Day Care
Centers of Las Vegas & Henderson.
GOOD MOOD FOODS DARK CHOCOLATE Dark chocolate is
loaded with nutrients that can positively affect
your health, made with the seed of the cocoa
tree, it is one of the best sources of antioxidants
on the planet. It may improve blood flow and
lowers blood pressure, raises HDL and protects
LDL from oxidation. Look for minimally processed chocolate with high
cocoa content. According to the American Cancer Institute, "Given
chocolate’s rich supply of flavonoids, researchers have also
investigated whether it may play a role in cancer prevention.”

Meet the Staff Mr. RAMP, Tim Rabatsky has worked for Nevada Senior Services
since 2011 and is the lead for facility maintenance and RAMP
home safety modifications. Frankly there is NOTHING Tim can’t
build or fix. He has an intuitively creative, mechanical mind. The
“tinkering” started when he was a young boy back in Ohio when he
taught himself how to repair a lawn mower or a dirt bike by taking
it apart and putting it back together. His skills and interests are
endless: Sailing, astronomy, photography, science, vintage miatas,
etc… Tim was a plant manager for a machine shop for 25 years and has certifications in
HVAC, OSHA, and computer programming to name a few. We appreciate Tim so much—
not only does he keep our facility running, he has allowed hundreds of
seniors to live safely in their homes through the RAMP program. Tim is
a gift to us all.
