RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT—Judy Greenberg
-by Everette E. Parker, DOM+ Resident
Judy Greenberg, an Air Force veteran,
and a nurse, still fives real meaning to
the Nurse’s motto of TLC (Tender,
Loving Care). Judy has continued that
motto in her life at the Ohio Veterans
Home since arriving in 2009.
Judy extends her caring to every day
life as she strives to meet and greet
each newcomer to OVH, which included
welcoming a Roman Catholic Priest
(who has since left) on his arrival.
A native of Cleveland, she was born in
a Jewish home, but has been a Christian
most of her life.
She enjoys the friendship and fellowship
in life here at OVH. She especially
enjoys the Tuesday afternoon Bible
study led by Chaplain Paul Birmingham,
as well as his Sunday morning
non-denominational
worship service.
Having grown up in
Shaker Heights, she is
a graduate of Mt. Sinai
Hospital School of
Nursing and followed
her career in many
cities before and after
her service in the Air
Force.
Judy has a sister and a
brother, both now living in Arizona.
They manage to visit her here once a
year, but she doesn’t like to travel the
long distance to visit them.
Since coming here, she has had two
knee replacements, but she
doesn’t let that interfere
with her long-time TLC
habit. She gets around
nicely and comfortably
with her walker.
To her, OVH is far more
than just a retirement home
for veterans, it is her
HOME from now on, so
far as current plans are
concerned. She is happy
and comfortable here. So
are her many friends, thanks to her
continued TLC.
In an effort to ensure that any clothing that you bring to the Ohio Veterans Home for your loved one is not misplaced or mistakenly
given to a different resident, we are instituting a new labeling process in January 2013. It will be as follows:
1. Family members/caregivers will drop off all clothing at the Laundry Drop-Off Station. This station is located in the short
hallway across from the Secrest Chapel just past the Secrest Front Desk.
2. Family members/caregivers will fill out a clothing drop-off form. The form will include information such as the name of the
resident who the clothing is intended for, what the articles of clothing are and the quantity of each article of clothing.
3. Family members/caregivers will insert the clothing into a drop-off bag along with the completed drop-off form and the bag
will be placed in the laundry chute at the Laundry Drop-Off Station.
4. The Laundry Department will promptly label, launder and distribute the clothing to the resident.
We appreciate your cooperation with this change in service. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact
Adam Brazie, Support Services Supervisor at Adam.Brazie@dvs.ohio.gov or 419.625.2454 x 1630.
