BELMONT VILLAGE OF BURBANK

JUNE 2018

FROM THEEXECUTIVEDIRECTOR

Hello! I wanted to take thisopportunity to say “hi” andintroduce myself for those who Ihave not had the pleasure ofmeeting yet. I have had theprivilege of working for Belmontover the past five years as theMemory Programs Coordinatorat our Westwood community.As I have made the transitionhere to Burbank I can only thinkof how friendly, kind, andpatient everyone has been tome. Coming in as “the new guy”can be intimidating at first, so Itruly want to say thank you forall the support I have felt.

On the note of being “the newguy”, I realize that this monthmarks my 8th year anniversaryof living in Los Angeles. When Ithink back to first moving hereafter college I recall knowingabout three people in total andconstantly being lost trying tonavigate the freeways. I wasregularly homesick, missing the

friends I left behind, and lookingto find a new sense ofbelonging. Luckily for me, that’swhen I came across BelmontVillage.

Over the past five years beinga part of Belmont has given methe support, the purpose, andthe sense of belonging I wasmissing when first coming toL.A. I have always been gratefulfor that and try to ensure ourresidents, families, and stafffeels the same as they joinBelmont as well.

I am truly excited to be partof the Belmont Village Burbankfamily and look forward togetting to know everyone whocalls this home. Please always letme know what I can do to helpand thank you again for thewarm welcome.

- ChrisWe are pleased to welcome ournew Executive Director, Chris

Schroeder, to our BelmontVillage of Burbank family!

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS NEWSMay of 2018 was definitely a month of stimulating fun for the

Circle of Friends—-no May-be about it! We can’t decide if GriffithPark or Santa Monica Bay was our favorite picnic destination- wehad such a good time visiting both this past month! And to makesure we properly nourished our red-sauce Italian food requirement,we took a pleasant drive to Sherman Oaks for lunch at Barone’s.Sharing memories with one another over good food is one of ourfavorite activities in the Circle of Friends. And along with learningnew things about the nation of Spain or constructing paper machebirds for our activity board, the Circle of Friends made every day inMay an occasion to enjoy life. See you next month! -Robert McAdoo,Enrichment Leader

NEIGHBORHOODNEWS

May brought with it a wealthof fascinating themes and topicsfor discussion and activities.Titanic Day, Cinco de Mayo Dayand Flower Day are just someexamples of the varied topicsour activities centered on. Didyou know, as recently as theearly 1900s, the tulip waspractically worth its weight ingold?! Or that Cinco de Mayodoes not celebrate MexicanIndependence (that occursSeptember 16th!). Learning newthings and facilitatingconversations where we canexpress how these facts impactus is one of our favoritepastimes in the Neighborhood.But we love being out and aboutfor fresh air, too--something ourregularly scheduled ScenicDrives and outings plus ourre-vamped patio offer plenty of!

Our updated Neighborhood patio hasbeen such a tremendous benefit for ourbeloved Residents! Now, Residents areregularly enjoying fun in the sun on our

patio with everything from BBQs todance parties to other mentally

stimulating activities.

FROM DRCS TAMMYCOOPER

Extreme summertemperatures can be dangerousfor people of all ages, butseniors are especially vulnerable.Heat isn’t just uncomfortable, itcan have serious consequences.As we age, body water contentdecreases and seniors oftenhave diminished thirst, whichleads to reduced fluidconsumption. Medications canmake our residents moresusceptible to dehydration andfluid loss. Dehydration is aleading cause of hospitalizationsand increased mortality ratesamong the elderly population.Many medical conditions areassociated with dehydration,including elderly confusion,impaired cognition, falling andconstipation. A very importantpart of our resident’s day isstaying hydrated. Every personis different in the amount offluids required, but fluidamounts should be adequateenough to keep urine outputconsistent and light in color. Agood rule is to drink a full glassof water with medications, andeasily accessible fluids are animportant necessity. When

going out of the building it is agood idea to pack along a bottleof water—especially in these hotsummer months ahead!

In celebration of Burbank winningBelmont Village’s 2017 Cupola Award,employees were treated to a fun nightof bowling! Thank you to our wonderfulemployees who play such an enormous

role in making our community thewarm, inviting, friendly place it is!
