improved through exercising such as pain relief, cognitive improvement, improved
range of motion and vitality, healthy aging, increased circulation and increased muscle
strength. Now that’s just a few of the benefits exercise can do. so let’s get moving and
see what exercise can do to benefit you.

Therapy Corner
This month’s Therapy Corner topic is Home Safety Assessment. A Home Safety Assessment is a
thorough evaluation of your living environment with a goal of increasing your safety and reducing
your risk of falls. Unfortunately, falls are all too common among older individuals. Fortunately, there
is evidence to suggest that falls are not a normal part of aging and many falls are preventable. One
important factor in reducing your risk for falls is prevention! There may be hazards in your home
environment that are NOT safe including: scatter rugs, electrical cords, poor lighting, and absent or
misplaced handrails…just to name a few. Come join your PRN therapy staff and learn how you can
make your home safer. Please refer to your monthly activities calendar for details as to date, time, and
location. You don’t want to miss this one!

A Note from the Executive Director….
Dear Residents and Families,
As we approach the end of yet another bitter Central New York Winter, I cannot help to be excited for the
arrival of Spring! We will soon be preparing for “Spring Clean Up” in our courtyards and the surroundings of
our building. Soon enough, we will be spending more time outdoors enjoying the garden, sunshine and
putting green. With that said, perhaps we all should consider some “Spring Cleaning” in our
apartments. Should you need any assistance, please contact our Housekeeping and/or Maintenance
Departments and we will be happy to assist you.
Warm Regards,
Mark Guida
Executive Director

Ashley Castle
Ashley originally joined us at
The Hearth at Greenpoint in 2010.
She was our Receptionist and also
worked in Activities for a short time.
She then moved to Florida. She came
back to us last year and once again
she is leaving us to move back to
Florida.
We will all miss her energetic,
friendly personality. We wish her
well and she will be greatly missed.
Good luck Ashley!!!
If you would like to nominate a staff member, all entry forms are located at the reception desk and are always given to nominees who do not win that month. Help
us as a company “Give’em the pickle right back!”
What is “The Pickle?” “When something happens with a customer and you’re not
sure what to do? “Give’em the Pickle...do what it takes to make things right!” The
pickle philosophy has evolved from there as it’s been put into
practice at various businesses. It may be about going the extra mile to make customers happy or putting your own personal
stamp on customer
service…”
–Bob Farrell, creator of “The Pickle.”
Thanks for your help!
