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

April Facts
In the USA, April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month,
National Poetry Month, and Autism Awareness Month!
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.
