The Gardens

You may have noticed our

Dipsacus Fullonum is thriving.

Dipsacus Fullonum, also

known as “Teasel”, is a four-

to-six feet high plant and is

near omnipresent around our

property. As charming as the

teasel is, it is considered an

invasive species. Teasel seeds

were inadvertently brought from Europe during the 1700's and the

plant has proliferated throughout the United States, especially the

mid-west, since that time. In order to encourage the growth of

native Illinois grasses and flowers, we will be mowing large areas

around our property during the coming weeks, to begin eradicating

the invasive crop. Do you know one of the most exciting practices

for helping a prairie to thrive? Setting a prairie fire!! Perhaps

we’ll call the Crystal Lake Fire Department!

Happy THRIVING!

Mike Gamache, Executive Director

NativePlants! Most people have experienced back pain

sometime in their lives. The causes of

back pain are numerous; some are self-

inflicted due to a lifetime of bad habits.

Other back pain causes include accidents

and muscle strains. Although the causes

may be different, most often they share

the same symptoms. Our spines are like

the rest of our body, it's meant to move.

Regular exercise can keep you and your

back more flexible. We offer a variety of

exercise classes such as, Chair Yoga with

Denise, Tai Chi with Allison, and Strength

Training classes with either Dave, Selena

or Denise. So, make sure to check the

calendar with all the listings/times. If

you have more questions about back

pain, come see Nurse Lynn's

Presentation, on Wednesday, August 14,

at 1:00pm.

Path to Well-Being

The Fountains is always looking for new and innovated programs to

introduce to our Residents. One Day is a program that brings families closer

together, with videos of your loved ones that we send to you. We have

been sharing videos to many families already and the responses have been

overwhelmingly positive. There are a variety of topics that we interview

your loved ones with, which can range from current life happenings to

things in their past, that some of their families never even knew

about! Each month, One Day, changes out the questions to give a nice

variety to share with all of you! If you would like to have your family

member interviewed, to have this wonderful reminder of your loved one,

please contact Gina at ext. 6582. Please also make sure the front desk has

a current email address to be able to send the video to you.
