I LOVE November because itbegins the season of thanks. Aseason of thankfulness for thesimple things in life—things wetake for granted like the air webreathe, the food weeat, the health we have, ourhomes, the love of family andfriends, our jobs and the freedomour country offers us. There is somuch to give and be thankful for(both past and present) that it’smore than we can wrap our mindsaround.
Thanksgiving Day brings greatdishes within our own homes—yes, including that great-tastingbird: turkey. So let’s talk turkey fora moment. I like it deep fried. Ittastes WONDERFUL that way. Ifyou have never tried it that way, Ihighly recommend you do. Iwould almost guarantee (almost Isaid) that you will not want itagain any other way!
So speaking of Thanksgivingand turkey ... please note ourawesome Thanksgiving diningexperience here at BelmontVillage. (See page 2.) We will havetwo separate seatings forThanksgiving. Please make yourreservations in advance so we canensure everyone will beaccommodated and that weprepare the correct amountof food.
Once Thanksgiving hits, we areonly 30 days until Christmas 2015
at this point—Christmas beingfollowed by the New Year the nextweek!! Again, we want towelcome all Belmont Villagefamily members during theholiday season to visit with theirloves ones, make plans to join inour many holiday events, and beprepared for an awesome diningexperience in Josephine’s Kitchen.
I would like to remindeveryone about our policyregarding monetary gifting duringthe holiday season. We have avery generous family at BelmontVillage, but it is against BelmontVillage policy for employees toaccept gifts or money fromresidents, families or vendors.However, you can makecontributions in the form of checkor cash to the EMPLOYEEHOLIDAY FUND to show yourappreciation to the staff. If youneed information about how tomake a contribution, please callour Human ResourcesCoordinator, Lorinda Davis, ormyself. Funds collected by Friday,December 11, will be used topurchase gift cards for distributionto all non-managementemployees at their Holiday Party.
I look forward to continuing tocelebrate my favorite time of yearwith you and creating newmemories for your family!!!

Keeping You Safe& Healthy
According to the U.S. Centersfor Disease Control andPrevention:
• One-third of Americans aged65+ falls each year.
• Every 13 seconds, an olderadult is treated in theemergency room for a fall;every 20 minutes, an olderadult dies from a fall.
• Falls are the leading cause offatal injury and the mostcommon cause of nonfataltrauma-related hospitaladmissions among olderadults.
• Falls result in more than 2.5million injuries treated inemergency departmentsannually, including over734,000 hospitalizations andmore than 21,700 deaths.
• In 2013, the total cost of fallinjuries was $34 billion.
As you get older, physicalchanges and health conditions —and sometimes the medicationsused to treat those conditions —make falls more likely. Falls, withor without injury, also carry aheavy quality of life impact. Agrowing number of older adultsfear falling and, as a result, limittheir activities and socialengagements. This can result infurther physical decline,depression, social isolation, andfeelings of helplessness. Therapywith Paxxon Healthcare can help
to improve strength and balance,as well as educate you on how toprevent future falls.
Feel free to stop by the gym onthe second floor or call us at502-895-7887.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!Your Therapy Team

And that our Dining Room offersfinger licking cupcakes at times?
Or that I found a nativeFrenchwoman who also moved toBelmont Village St. Matthews whotirelessly worked with me eachSaturday to teach me French and tellme fascinating stories of the invasionof France in WWII.
One evening after a lesson shepaid me a lovely compliment “Sylvia,I love your French accent!” A rare bitof praise indeed!
Imagine, to have your own Frenchteacher - only at Belmont!
