Ap r i l N ew s l e t t e r 2 0 1 5 Dear Residents, Families, and Staff: Since we’ve welcomed some new residents in the past few months, it is appropriate to remind everyone of the informational poster that applies to both nursing and assisted living/home for the aged residents entitled: Patient/Resident Bill of Rights and Responsibilities. It is posted in two places around the building: on the wall in the nursing hallway just outside the Sun Porch and on the brick pillar between the front door and the reception desk. Plus, there are smaller pamphlets with the same information available at the reception desk. We also post an article (Resident Rights Review) in each newsletter, too. Please read these and become familiar with them. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Director of Social Work & Activities (Becky Peters) for assistance. May you have a Blessed Easter! Sincerely, Mark Eubank Administrator Nursing News Its spring!!!! We are all very excited for the warmer weather and the beautiful flowers that are soon to appear. Happy Spring to all our residents, staff, family and friends of KDH!! King’s Daughter’s Home offers a wide range of services for our residents. Instead of making multiple outside appointments nearly all of your health care needs can be met right here. We have a physician who along with the nurse practitioner come r ight to our home and see our residents on a regular basis. They are also available for consultation during emergency situations. If you wish to see the in house physician, please let your charge nurse know. If you are interested in receiving dental, podiatry, vision, or audiology services the specialists with the Mobile Medical group are routinely in our home to tend to your needs. Laboratory and x-ray ser vices are also available in house and are able to accommodate our resident’s on a daily basis. Please see your nurse to sign up for any of the services that are offered. Have a wonderful Easter, Jo Lynn Gunderman / Director of Nursing Melissa Pate / Assistant Director of Nursing Residents 4/3 Betty Strauch 4/9 Sylvia Bridge 4/11 Betty Keil 4/11 Laurene Kerr 4/15 Nancee Most 4/24 Rose Marie Snyder Staff 4/4 Dawn Walker 4/11 Mark Eubank 4/11 Becky Peters 4/11 Sam Pomranky 4/11 Carrie Roebuck 4/24 Diane Coons 4/26 Tammy Sauve 4/30 Janet France WELCOME TO KING’S DAUGHTERS HOME RESIDENTS Howard Garrett Ruth Green STAFF Karey Robinson– CNA Keith Yingling– Charge Nurse Cassondra Green– CNA Helena Krancich– CNA FYI Resident Rights Review 7.

Birth Flower: Sweet Pea & Daisy Birth Stone: Diamond Zodiac Signs: Aries March 21– April 19 Taurus April 20-May 20 One of April’s birth month flowers is the Sweet Pea. The Sweet Pea stands for happiness, blissfulness, and is used to say goodbye. The other flower that represents the month of April is the daisy. This birth month flower represents innocence, certainty, and modesty. Many people give the Daisy to wish good fortune, happiness, and pleasure. It is believed that a nymph wanted to be left alone, so she turned herself into a Daisy.
