Dear Residents, Families and Staff,

Well the weather change reminds us that Christmas

is on its way. Oak Hill strives to provide a wonder-

ful Christmas experience for the residents, families

and staff at Oak Hill. We know that Christmas is a

very unique time of the year and we want everyone

associated with Oak Hill to feel a part of this special

celebration.

To begin with, you will see Oak Hill transformed as

the staff decorate beginning December 2. The deco-

rating comes to a climax on December 5 when all

decorating is done except for putting the special

touches that our residents add to the trees the even-

ing of December 5. This evening, not only will we

decorate the trees in the three different sections of

Oak Hill but we will also have outstanding entertain-

ment and a visit and pictures with Santa. Entertain-

ers include the Brass Band, Larry Hallar and Lucy

Enbring who will rotate through the building stop-

ping at Arbor Court Activity Area, Magnolia Terrace

and Whispering Pines. Please feel free to join us for

this event.

On December 6, St. Nicholas Day, we kick off the

Twelve Days of Christmas. Each weekday, the resi-

dents will be treated to a different flavor of ice

cream. A drawing will be held on each of these days

for the staff who tirelessly provide outstanding ser-

vices to the residents at Oak Hill throughout the

year.

We then move on to our Resident/ Family Christmas

parties. The residents of Oak Hill have always en-

joyed having family times during the holidays. We

want to help residents continue this tradition while

we do all the work. Each resident is asked to invite

two special guests to enjoy a Christmas dinner or ap-

petizers followed by entertainment. This is always a

special night when Oak Hill residents look forward

to having their family with them. You don’t want to

miss this evening. On December 8, Whispering

Pines residents will celebrate in the Oak Hill Activity

Center. An array of appetizers will be served that

evening along with great entertainment. On Decem-

ber 10, Arbor Court will have their dinner and en-

tertainment. This year we will actually have two en-

tertainers, Forest Bevineau and Bob Tyler. One will

be in the Arbor Court Dining Room and one in the

Activity Center. This will allow us more room due to

the huge turnout that we have for this event. The fi-

nal party will be held on Sunday, December 15 on

Magnolia Terrace. Christmas dinner will be served

followed by entertainment by a quartet, Rivertown

Sound.

In addition to these events, there are many other

special activities planned and several groups that

will sing Christmas carols or provide Christmas en-

tertainment. Also watch for the lamppost decorated

by Oak Hill at the Monroe County Courthouse.

I want to personally wish you a wonderful Christ-

mas. I hope you have special times with family and

friends and that you are blessed during this season

and throughout the year.

have time back with family in Heav-en - to me history is just that Favorite Sport to Watch - any that nieces and nephews participate in Favorite TV Show - The Originals be-cause of the cute vampires Movies to Watch - The Goonies, The Princess Bride, and anything with Johnny Depp, especially Sweeney Todd Best childhood memory - All of the time I spent with my mom and fami-ly.

Here is what our community at Oak Hill has to say about Faith (taken from the nomination forms for Em-ployee of the Month): She is great with the residents and families. She follows-up with things and takes great care of her residents.

She always thinks of her resi-dents first and is attentive to resi

Faith has been with Oak Hill’s nursing department for 9 years. She is currently an L.P.N. She lives in Harrisonville with her 12 year old daughter, Elizabeth. Some hobbies Faith and her daughter enjoy together are: roller coasters, ghost hunting, camping, big fat bonfires and cooking. Faith has many memorable moments at Oak Hill thanks to great co-workers. A most embarrassing mo-ment at Oak Hill...well she has too many to mention. She finds it embarrassing trying to pro-nounce the different bacteria to Doctors. One of Faith’s achievements is being a nurse. She is also proud she was able to raise her daughter on her own, survive it, and be happy.

dent and family needs.

She is a great nurse who cares about the residents. She also makes sure her staff is getting all their work done. She is good with all the resi-dents and families no matter who they are. She is an example to all employees with not calling in sick even though there are days I am sure she could.

She always makes sure the resi-dent needs are being met.

She goes above and beyond to make sure all the resident’s needs are met. Other Nominations:

Hollie Bruce (CNA) – She has worked really hard on the sched-ule which she had no training to do and she has done a terrific job. She gave all she could to try to help with the schedule. Always has a positive attitude. Never a cross word or disrespect to supervisors when given extra duties. Debra Carrico (Housekeeping) – Very hard and caring coworker. Never complains and is happy to be here. Enjoys her work. She goes out of her way to do extras. When housekeeping items are needed and even though it’s not her hall,

she still gets them for us. What-ever hall she’s working, she’s al-ways happy with a smile on her face. I always see her helping tak-ing residents up the hall for break-fast. Does a very good job clean-ing, very dependable. Very good to residents and coworkers. Goes out of her way to help others. Al-ways has a smile on her face. Very caring and sweet person.

Juno Dingwell (Dietary) – Im-mediately notified nursing staff that resident was choking.

Debbie Adams (Housekeeping) – Very good worker. Always will-ing to help other employees or residents. Very dependable. She’s a very caring housekeeper, does a great job. She’s always there if you need her. She helps anyone she can with anything. She’s amazing at what she does and truly cares about her job, the resi-dents, and the staff she works with. She is the best housekeeper. Takes her job seriously. Always lends a helping hand. She teaches how to get things off the floors that help it look better. Great as-set. She goes above and beyond for our residents, is always smil-ing, and will always lend a helping

Thank you to Lonnie Esker and the

Operation Hope

Oak Hill is helping bring Christmas to children. There will be a tree in the lob-by with tags on it for you to take. The tag lists an item(s) that is specific to a requesting child in need.

Therapy Tip of the Month:

There's no denying it -- winter takes a toll on skin. Indoor heating, cold,

wind, and heavy clothing.

Smooth on Moisturizer: Keep your skin moist to reduce redness and itching. The thicker the cream or ointment, the better it is at locking water into your skin. Use moisturiz-ing soap and a creamy lotion after you shower, bathe, or wash your hands. Choose fragrance-free prod-

ucts to avoid allergic reactions.

Wear Soft Layers: Frosty tempera-tures and wind can irritate your skin. Bundle up in a soft scarf, hat, and gloves when you go outside to protect exposed areas of skin. Dress in layers that you can peel off to avoid getting overheated. Avoid wool, denim, and other fabrics more likely to irritate your skin than

cotton.

Drink Water: To pump up moisture, drink plenty of water. You’ll know if you’re getting enough because your urine will be a pale yellow. If your urine is bright yellow or dark-

colored, you may need more water.

To All Employees:

I sure want to say thanks so much

for all the kind staff and to Rebecca for

all her help. Sherri is a peach-I should

not pick out a few because everyone is so

also the wonderful staff in the cafeteria

To the Staff of Oak Hill,

Thank you for the kindness and helpful-

ness you showed toward my father, Carl

Huch, while he was a resident at Oak Hill.

My father never complained abut being a

resident. He knew that he was well taken

care of by the staff. His stay was short

and his friends he made were many.

Oak Hill and its staff make this an out-

standing facility.

Thank you again for everything.

Yours Truly,

hopping to keep the pans filled for

the carry-outs. We took in a total of

$1,761.00. I don’t have all the ex-

penses in yet, but I will let everyone

know what our final count is. The

proceeds went to the Resident Coun-

cil. Thank you to everyone that

helped make this a success. Special

thanks go to Rhonda & Litney and

the dietary and housekeeping staff

for all the help before, during and

after the supper. Thank you also to

the department heads that helped

throughout the day and that evening.

It could not be possible if we did not

all pull together and help each other

out. Thank you to the volunteers that

came in early in the morning to get

the soup on and those that helped

with the pies, serving, doing dishes

and anything else they did behind

the scenes. Thank you everyone!!!!

Thank you to all the residents, families

and staff who supported our Fall Ba-

zaar on November 9! It was another

successful fundraiser for the residents

of Whispering Pines. A special thank-

you to Frances Studt for making her

delicious cream puffs for us again this

out quite early in the day. Also, this

event could not have occurred without

the help of Whispering Pines staff and

resident families.

craft vendors. It is always a lot of fun!

We have a wish list of items that we

would like to purchase that includes

new DVD players, movies, FurReal ani-

mal friends and various décor for the

pine trees were purchased from a ven-

dor at the Fall Bazaar and may be
