8 Sunday,March 2,2008 WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES PROGRESS 2008 BUSINESS UPDATE Beaver Falls native opens new chiropractic offices Dr. Danielle L. Lundy, a native of Beaver Falls, opened Chiropractic Wellness Center of Northern New York in September . The practice treats patients in two locations: Madison Barracks, Sackets Harbor, and Freedom Plaza, Evans Mills. In her practice, Dr. Lundy emphasizes the importance of integrating the care of the patient with other health care professionals. “I want to help my patients achieve a higher state of wellness in every area of their life,” Dr. Lundy said. “Our patient’s experience is catered to his/her specific needs and goals.” Dr. Lundy graduated from the New York Chiropractic College of Seneca Falls in March 2007. Dr. Lundy purchased Sackets Harbor Chiropractic from Dr. Rebecca Keshmiri. She immediately expanded the part-time hours to offer hours five days a week (between the two locations). Dr. Lundy’s chiropractic care includes massage therapy into the patient’s regular visit. The chiropractic care starts with a 10-minute massage before seeing Dr. Lundy. “The massage as an integrated part of the chiropractic treatment is unique to the area,” Dr. Lundy said. “The massage helps relax the patient and loosen their muscles, which will make adjustment more comfortable for the patient and hold longer … producing better results for my patients.” Massage therapy sessions are also available, even for people who are not patients of Dr. Lundy. In addition to the Sackets Harbor location, Dr. Lundy and staff see patients in a second location at Freedom Plaza, Route 11, just outside Fort Drum’s main gate. “Given the growth of the area, the highly visible location on Route 11, and the close proximity to Fort Drum, I decided to offer this second location for the convenience of our patients,” Dr. Lundy said. “Military personnel, largely in part due to the physical demand of their job, embrace chiropractic care, and have long recognized its benefits. Being so close to the main gate will make it easy for them to avail themselves of treatment.” “I understand the importance of hard work and professionalism of which is evident in my philosophy,” she said. “It is my desire to be that individual in my patient’s life with which they can trust to help them achieve a better quality of life.” For more information, or to schedule an appointment, call Dr. Lundy at 646-3777 or 629-4222.

Hospice & Palliative Care celebrates its 25th year POTSDAM — In 2007 Hospice & Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley experienced another milestone year of continuing growth in direct care and supportive and educational services for patients, families and the entire community. The number of Hospice patients cared for was 526, with a total of 26,576 days of care provided. On average, Hospice cared daily for 73 people at home, in nursing or adult homes, assisted living facilities, residences for the developmentally disabled, and in hospitals all over St. Lawrence County. 2007 saw the development of the palliative care services program, which provides comfort care to people with life-threatening illness but who do not meet the traditional Hospice care criteria. The program has grown from serving four patients in 2005 when it began, to 32 patients in 2007. Funding from the Alcoa Foundation and the Edward I. Moses Walk/Run for Life Corporation has supported the growth of this program. Hospice also established a new department of Family Support Services to strengthen the support of non-medical needs for patients and their caregivers, and a full-time position of spiritual care coordinator was created. Last year, 57 bereavement programs were held throughout the community, with 1,128 individuals attending. There were 1,973 families on bereavement service. Last year 181 volunteers provided more than 3,000 hours of direct patient and indirect services, and logged more than 22,000 miles. There will be a training program for volunteers at the Hospice Center in Potsdam from March 8 to 22. 2008 marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of Hospice & Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley.

In fact, studies have shown patients with congestive heart failure who chose hospice care enjoyed longer life than non-hospice patients* And that means hospice patients and families have more time together. Ask your doctor if hospice care is right for you. *According to a study in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, March 2007 425 Washington Street, Watertown, NY 13601 • (315) 788.7323 • www.jeffhospice.org Bed & Breakfasts The Spruces Bed & Breakfast “You’ll arrive as a guest but you’ll return as a friend.” (315) 376-8901 6478 Sears Pond Rd., Montague • Full Breakfast • On the Snowmobile Trails B WAY IN IN K AC Bed & Breakfast (315) 393-3844 Rena & Milton Goldberg 247 Proctor Ave, Ogdensburg, NY 13669 B&B North Fork Bed & Breakfast 219 Baker Rd., Lisbon, NY 13658 315-528-0175 northforkbandb@hughes.net White Pillars Bed & Breakfast Rooms Residential Suites, Waterfront Cottages John & Donna Clark 395 Old State Road, Canton, New York 13617 1-800-261-6292 • (315) 386-2353 www.whitepillars.com The Syrett’s Misty Meadows Bed & Breakfast (315) 379-1563 - FAX (315) 379-9016 info@mistymeadowsny.com www.mistymeadowsny.comor Credit Cards Accepted Your Hosts: Peter & Marcia Syrett 1609 State Highway 68 - Canton, NY 13617 Member of St. Lawrence County Bed & Breakfasts & Professional Association of Innkeepers International
PROGRESS 2008 WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES Sunday,March Day,Month Date,Year 2,2008 8A C5 United Helpers rings in new year in new accommodations OGDENSBURG — Since its inception in 1898, the United Helpers organization has grown to become the largest healthcare provider in St. Lawrence County, caring for more than 1,000 people daily and employing nearly 900 people. UNITED HELPERS/CEDARS Residents at the United Helpers Ogdensburg campus recently rang in the New Year in their new accommodations. Several members of the United Helpers team pitched in to help move residents into the new Claxton Residence in mid-December. This move, and the occupation of the Newell residence this past summer, completed the first phase of the construction, renovation and merger project in progress at United Helpers. The $26 million project began in the fall of 2006 with the construction of the Newell Residence; a 32-bed residence made up of two 16-bed neighborhoods and the Claxton Residence; an 84-bed residence; consisting of six 14-bed neighborhoods. The second phase of the project involves renovation of the existing building, including all remaining resident accommodations, administration, physical therapy, and kitchen. “This project is moving along nicely and we can already see real positive changes,” said John M. Turongian, CEO for United Helpers. “The design of the new center offers several different living rooms, dining and other common areas. One of the things we noticed immediately is the number of residents utilizing these areas. It isn’t uncommon for people to be gathered in the dining room chatting, or watching television together or playing the piano. It’s great to see.” The “neighborhood” design of the building offers shorter hallways, smaller groupings of residents and specialized care centers. Also included in the design are 88 private rooms and 46-semi private rooms. Neighborhoods are circular or wheel shaped care centers. The care team station is located at the hub or center of the neighborhood, allowing for easier access and quicker response to residents. The common areas were significantly increased to include: 17 lounges, six dining rooms and five private, family dining areas. “The staff and residents are very excited about the new campus,” said Robert E. Lesperance, Administrator for United Helpers Nursing Home. “They have been involved in the planning and design from the beginning and it is very exciting for everyone to now be in their new accommodations.” UNITED HELPERS CANTON NURSING HOME Plans continue to move forward to replace the dated United Helpers Canton Nursing Home. In November, Assemblyman Darrel J. Aubertine announced $250,000 in funding that will be used to help secure the purchase of land for the relocation of the United Helpers Canton Nursing Home to Outer State Street, adjacent to Partridge Knoll. This United Helpers initiative seeks to transform community service in the Canton-Potsdam area in five significant ways: by redesigning short-and longterm nursing and rehabilitative services, by creating the first Assisted Living center in the North Country, by including nature and the outdoors into the design, by fully integrating and connecting senior living and health services with the community-at-large, and by sharing campus resources with other service providers. Representatives from the Canton Child Day Care Center and the town and village of Canton agree with and support the concept. Phase one of the project involves the construction of a new neighborhood-style senior health care and assisted living facility as well as the child day-care area. Phase two will see the development of additional services by partner institutions on the campus. When complete, the campus will lead to the creation and retention of several jobs in health care and related services fields, create economies of scale through shared services and on-campus opportunities for collaborations and provide a central site for area residents to meet a variety of needs. In November 2006, Gov. George E. Pataki announced the release of HEAL NY grants aimed at assisting capital longterm care projects focused on reconfiguring and rightsizing. United Helpers Canton Nursing Home was among the recipients of this grant. “We have worked very hard on developing a model of care that would be less institutionalized and more personalized. It is quite exciting to see this vision come to life in Ogdensburg and we are looking forward to bringing that model to the Canton- Potsdam area as well.” With the closure of Community Nursing Home in Potsdam in 2003, United Helpers Canton Nursing Home is the only provider of short and long-term nursing care in the Canton- Potsdam area. STAFF ADDITIONS United Helpers welcomed Carmen C. Paone in July. Paone serves as quality improvement/corporate compliance coordinator for the organization. In his position, Paone oversees the development and implementation of the organizational quality improvement and corporate compliance programs. Paone contributes more than 20 years of nursing home administration experience to United Helpers.
