DUBOIS HONOR GUARD PRESENT
BLANKETS TO OUR VETERANS
CAREER FAIR
Promoting
Christ the King Manor
Christ the King Manor has a vested
interest in students- they are our
future workforce! We recently took
the opportunity to participate in the
1st Annual Career and Technical
Education Career Fair at Jeff Tech in
Reynoldsville. Michelle DiGilarmo,
Chad Updyke, Nursing Assistant, talks to
students about working at Christ the King
Manor and his decision to pursue his
education as a Registered Nurse.
Director of HR, and Chad Updyke,
Nurse Assistant, met with many
students interested in various career
fields needed in long term care,
including Healthcare, Information
Technology and Culinary Services.
Students benefited from informative
conversation regarding expectations
of employers, career opportunities
that exist and skill development. We
even encouraged some impressive
students to apply or consider co-op at
Christ the King Manor!
Members of the Guard are standing behind our seated residents.
Residents: Donald "Ted" Johnson, Richard L. Phillips, Richard A. Hiles,
Steve C. Skraba, William J. Kellerman, Robert W. Worthington, James J.
McDermott, and Chuck W. Monnheimer.
On February 24th, members of the
DuBois Honor Guard presented over
sixty fleece blankets to members of our
Armed Forces who reside at CKM.
Several veterans were present to
accept the blankets and were most
thankful for the beautiful gifts. Each
branch of the service is represented on
four different blankets and presented
to our veterans according the the branch
of service they were in. This is the
second time an abundance of blankets
were presented here and the excess
will be used for future admissions.
Sharon and Richard Wantuck, both
members of the Honor Guard, are the
organizers of this project and everyone
involved regard it as an honor to serve
those who serve.
BISHOP PERSICO NAMES NEW DIRECTOR
On March 2nd, Ann Badach assumed the roll of Executive Director of Catholic
Charities of the Diocese of Erie. Ann, who previously served as the Director of
the Family Life office, replaced Mary Maxwell who retired after serving in the
positon for 11 years. Ann will continue to represent Catholic Charities by attending
regular board meetings at Christ the King Manor serving as the official liaison
between us and Bishop Persico. Ann said she is looking forward to the many
opportunities she will have to interact with the persons directly involved in the work
and services provided by those within the Catholic Charities network. We wish
Ann the best of luck in her new role.

Director of Catholic Charities.
Maintaining a Better Than Average “Culture of Safety”
Representatives from our Workers Compensation
Carrier, HM Insurance Group, recently visited Christ
the King Manor for the Annual Account Review.
Account Manager, Robbin Gaines, praised Sam
Zaffuto, the Safety Committee and entire staff at CKM
for maintaining such an excellent safety record.
According to OSHA, the national average “days away,
restrictions and transfers” (DART) rate for nursing
homes and continuing care retirement communities
was 5.6 and 4.7, respectively.
Christ the King Manor ended the year 2014 with a
DART rate of 1.84. In addition, Christ the King Manor
has consistently had an experience modification
factor well below 1.0 for the past 9 years.
The Safety Committee was also provided their Annual
Safety Training by Annette Herbst, HM Loss Control
Consultant, to continue as a PA State Certified
Safety Committee.
CHRIST THE KING AT HOME
Ashley Bowser was recently joined by Sheryl Scarnati in our Christ the King at Home office. Ashley and Sheryl will assist
each other in carrying out the many duties and responsibilities associated with the department as it continues to grow. Christ
the King at Home is an extention of Christ the King Manor's mission to provide
quality care to the seniors of our community. The goal of Christ the King at Home
is to assist clients with their activities of daily living while helping them to maintain
their independence in their own homes.
Christ the King at Home provides services in both Clearfield and Jefferson
counties and we are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Some
of the services offered include housekeeping, meal planning and preparation, and
medication reminders. Home and safety assessments are completed for each
client before services are started and a RN visits each client regularly to review
the plan of care. Services are available up to 24 hours a day. Many clients are
eligible to receive these services at a reduced rate through the Pennsylvania
Waiver Program or the Department of Aging Options Program. Contact your
county Area Agency on Aging representative for more information on the Waiver
and Options programs.
Christ the King at Home is fortunate to have a staff that truly cares about their
clients, their needs, and maintaining the outstanding reputation that Christ the King
Manor has in the community. If you would like more information on our Christ
the King at Home services, please give Ashley or Sheryl a call at (814)371-3180.

VALENTINE'S DAY
CELEBRATION
NEW! MONTHLY CONTEST
FOR OUR STAFF
Our Queens and Kings were
crowned during our Valentine's Day
celebration on February 13th.
We love to celebrate here with
good food, good fun, good friends,
and prizes! We appreciated the
diversion in the middle of February,
our coldest month so far!
There is always an abundance of
excitement for our residents at
Christ the King and February
brought a new bit of excitement
for the staff. Valentine's Day
celebrations were fun and festive
and also introduced the first
"Guessing Game" for the
dedicated staff at CKM. Next
month holds a jar of "Jelly Bellies"
and the number is a closely
guarded secret!

Celebrating 100 Years!
John Petrosky
Representative Matt Gabler, John Petrosky,
and son, Richard Petrosky
John Petrosky was recently presented a
citation by Representative Matt Gabler in honor of
the celebration of his 100th birthday on March 10th
2015. John was born in DuBois on March 10th
1915 and once he was married he bought a home
one block from where he was born and raised. He
resided there until the summer of 2010 at which
time he became a resident of Christ The King
Manor.
John was married to the former Rose
DeCarli who passed away in 2002. He is the father
of three children Richard ( Janice ),Michaeline
(Ben) Shuman and a son Robert Petrosky who is
deceased. John has four grandchildren and three
great grand children. John was a miner working at
Cramer mines until it closed in 1958 and then at
Greenwich mines in Cherry Tree until 1977.
John was a skilled carpenter building many
homes for friends and neighbors as well as one for
his son Richard. John’s hobbies were hunting,
fishing, gardening, cutting fire wood, picking wild
mushrooms and berries, and peeling copper wire.
During
the
presentation
by
Representative Gabler, Matt asked him what he
attributed his longevity to. John’s response was
that he chews snuff and it keeps the germs away!
A birthday party was held on March 8th by his
family at Christ The King Manor in his honor.

Keith Johnson, LPN, states that he
likes the new carts because they are
"nice and compact".
Nine new portable computer stands
are now being used by LPN's as
they make their daily rounds caring
for our residents. These stands,
along with the computer system
that was upgraded last year, assist
the nurses in providing quality care
for our residents. The needs of
both the residents and nurses were
considered when the stands were
designed. They are light and easily
go into the resident's rooms where
the medications are kept. This
allows for a more home-like
atmosphere and for the needs of
the residents to be met more
efficiently. The carts have the
computer mounted so the nurses
are able to view all relevant
information about the residents they
care for. The suggestions of the
nurses, such as drawer size,
number of shelves, and color, were
welcomed as the custom-made
carts were being designed. This is
an improvement that will be
beneficial to both residents and staff
for many years to come.
CHRIST THE KING MANOR PROVIDES CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Christ the King Manor is proud to provide an active learning environment for students
from many area schools and colleges. This not only provides valuable learning for
the students, but also allows us to introduce long-term-care as a wonderful field to
consider upon graduation. This is key to ensuring that we always have able
individuals in the future enthusiastic to help us provide quality, compassionate care
for our residents.

Pharmacy Tech students from the Brockway Center for Arts and Technology
(BCAT) aquired real life experience recently at Christ the King Manor. Pharmacies
typically provide the clinical site to Pharmacy Tech students. However, Jacient Bray,
Director of the Pharmacy Technician Program, recognized the value of clinical
experience at Christ the King Manor, “It would be extremely beneficial to whoever
went there to see how meds are distributed, how records are kept, and to have
interaction with the residents.”
Cosmetology students from Jeff Tech in
Reynoldsville are seen here paying
careful attention to the ladies as they
pamper them with manicures.

Specialty Training on Advanced Wound Care:
Improving the Quality of Life of our Residents
Two of our RN's at Christ the
King Manor, Missy Newell and
Sharon Carr, had the opportunity
to participate in an advanced
wound care program which was
sponsored by Kendal Outreach.
Kendal Outreach offers
programs that serve the long term
care industry by providng
education and training to health
care professionals. This three
month online course included
training in pressure ulcer
prevention and management,
proper
assessment
and
documentation of wounds,
education to build a team to
eliminate avoidable ulcers and
prevent complications. The
course provided competancy
testing that included a clinical
setting as well as 21 contact hours
of continuing education. The
Wound Treatment Associate
Program is endorsed by the
Wound, Ostomy and Continence
Nurses Society (WOCN) who
are professional experts in wound
care.
Smiling above
. is Claire Ames, from
DuBois, who volunteers her time and
talent to play the piano for our
residents. At least once a week, she
can be seen playing in the lounge for
residents who request her to play for
them. They love listening to her music.
SO MANY KIND WORDS AND THOUGHTS...
We are very appreciative of the care our loved ones received while they were at the Manor. Their
care meant everything to the family and we commend the entire staff for the wonderful job that they
do.
My thanks and prayers to you for all the very kind treatment all of you gave to my husband.
You made my aunt's last months and days as bright and cheery as possible and the family
thanks you. May you continue to bless those you serve and may you be blessed as well.
We are extremely grateful for the care and compassion that our loved one received while she was a
resident. Your kindness and generosity will never be forgotten. We are thankful and grateful that such
a quality facility is here is DuBois. Again thank you and God bless.
I don't feel I could have found a better place for my husband, short of bringing him home if it had been possible. He made the
comment to me "they take good care of me here." That says alot for the respect and compassion your whole staff showed us
both.
Thank you to all the nurses, aides, and staff for taking such good care of my mother.
I wanted to express my gratitude to all of you.
We greatly appreciate the loving care you gave our loved one over the past nine years. Thank you for being there each
day to give him the support and encouragement he needed and to help to put a smile on his face. May God continue to
bless you as you share your love and care with your residents.
Thank you once again for your support and excellent care of my father. We feel blessed to
have Christ the King Manor for our family.
Thank you for being so kind and caring to our husband and father. To all the staff in
Memory Support Unit; you were great!
I want everyone to know how happy I was with the care my aunt received while she was at Christ
the King Manor. I could not have asked for more.
We appreciate the special people you employ-they took great care of my loved one on her good
and not so good days. We appreciate this so much. May God bless you all
You all took such good care of our loved one.
She used to say, "they are all so kind."

SCHOOL STUDENTS ENRICHING LIVES
Students from Parkview Elementary School in Anita
worked on a project to send cheer to our residents at CKM.
Bev Keeley, a teacher at Parkview and also the daughter of
Jane Wineberg who is a resident at CKM, recruited third
grade students to help with the craft. Jane collected
pinecones for many years and Bev was inspired by them to
make these beautiful decorations. They were passed out to
our residents to brighten their winter days. The project was
done to thank Jane for her years of volunteering in the
Punxsutawney School District. Many thanks to all who
were involved in this special project!

MOUTH-WATERING MONTHLY MEALS
The Activities Department continues to cook special dinners for residents and February's meal was another hit. The
residents enjoyed salmon patties, oven baked seasoned potato wedges, green beans sauteed in garlic and butter, Harvard
beets, and carrot cake....all homemade! The department rotates who they invite so that throughout the year each resident
is included in one of these special dinners. It is a tradition that is enjoyable for the residents and staff as well.
Table is set and guests begin to arrive.
Roommates Ruth Welsh and Edith
Logan have become very close
friends and could not have been
invited without each other.

Therapy Dogs
Regular Visitors
Gary and Donna Fye have been regular visitors for over a year with their
two dogs, Murphy and Annie. They raise Labrador Retrievers and both
Murphy and Annie are registered therapy dogs with Therapy Dogs
International. Gary and Donna spend time going room to room visiting all
of our residents who enjoy dogs. They are some of the many volunteers
that help make Christ The King feel like home.
Amber Nixon, Jackie Burkett, Alisa Ward, Sarah
Michalski, and Jodie Guerndt attending a class training
on CPR and using AED devices.
Christ the King Manor recently purchased three Automated
External Defibrillators (AED's). All RN's and LPN's are in
the process of being trained by the American Heart
Association to operate these devices that are to be used in
emergency situations when CPR has been initiated. These
devices provide verbal instructions to the nurses once opened.
When the electrodes are placed on a victims skin, the device
reads the rhythm of the heart and tells the nursing staff when
to deliver a shock by pushing the button. AED's could save
the lives of residents, visitors, and staff.
Studies have shown that using an AED
to deliver a shock to the heart can
restart a persons heart in up to 90% of
cases if done in the first minute of an
event. By using the AED, potentially
30-50% of victims of sudden cardiac
arrest can survive.
EMPLOYEES ARE AT THE HEART OF WHAT WE DO
AT CHRIST THE KING MANOR
Employee recognition can be given in many ways—through
saying thank you, giving praise, providing opportunity, or showing
respect. All these are expected at Christ the King Manor and
Michelle DiGilarmo, Director of Human Resources, assures staff
that, “You will see in even more ways this year of how valued
and appreciated you really are!" After all, it is our residents that
will benefit the most from having a staff that is held in high
esteem!
LPN Charge Nurse , Brian Wiggin, was honored to
present Karen Evans, Nursing Assistant, with a
special “DEDICATED” ribbon. Karen has not only
completed over 40 years of service at CKM, she
also had perfect attendance in 2014!

Construction of The Apartments at Christ the King Manor is making
steady progress. The construction crew has been actively working
on the interior with the framing of walls and hanging of drywall.
Connection of the individual furnaces is almost complete and
installation of the elevator will be finished soon. Interior finishes are
on order and will be installed shortly. As soon as the weather breaks,
the exterior siding will be completed. "We are certainly going to have
a beautiful building inside and out," states Sam Zaffuto. "The
Apartments offer the community yet another option for senior living as we continue to fulfill our mission at Christ the King
Manor." An open house for the public will be scheduled as soon as construction is complete. Watch for details soon!
