NEWS FROM THE HAVEN —PAGE 2—Rick Plattner, AdministratorWere you ever asked by your mother to run to thestore and pick up a certain item? In the old days, ifMother asked you to go and get toothpaste or shampoo orcereal, it was pretty easy. In the event that there werecompeting brands, it was just a matter of saying Colgatetoothpaste and you were good to go.In today’s world, Colgate toothpaste is only a startingpoint. Would you like the travel size, total advancedwhitening, sensitive with fluoride, maximum strength,whitening paste, max clean, sparkling mint, Dora theExplorer?? Do you get the point?Life is so full of choices. What once was a brand orflavor decision has now grown into a matrix of options.My family has often teased me because when I was achild and had the rare occasion of eating out for breakfast,I told the waitress I would like an egg. She inquiredwhat kind of egg I wanted and I replied I wanted one‘any style.’ I really didn’t understand the choices, but I dothink I would have been happy with anything shebrought me.Maybe not so today. I am not sure that example fitstoday’s lifestyle. We find a routine and pattern and wepretty much like what we like when we like it.As we think about it, we realize that our culture hastaught us that we have the power to choose. Do youthink that becoming older should limit our ability tochoose? At Fairview Haven, we don’t.In the past, I remember when salt shakers werebanned from the dining room. In fact, I remember whenwe put a cord across the front of the dining room becauseit wasn’t the “right” time or convenient for the residentsto be in there. It was closed! Well, we kind of forgotwhose dining room it was. How would we feel if wewanted a soda and a cookie and we found our kitchenroped off or our refrigerator locked? Would we like to betold come back in the morning? I think we would get anew program.Well, we think it is time for a new programtoo: One that restores the choice andauthority to the customer. We are working tosupport and ensure resident choice. We thinkthey should be able to get up when theywant, eat what they want, and live as theywant. I don’t even like to say we are“allowing” it. It is their right. They are thecustomer and we are here to serve them.Does medical advice mean anything? Ofcourse it does, but think, how many times weourselves know we shouldn’t have a candybar and or shouldn’t have the second portion,or we really should do this or that but, upon reflection,we have it our way.It starts with really listening to what our loved oneswant and then doing whatever is in our power to make ithappen. How was it at home and can we make it theirhome? In fact, it is their home. We want to really put thegold back into the golden years!* * * * *GOOD SAMARITAN FUNDWe continue to see very slow reimbursementfrom the State of Illinois.With 9-plus months completed in thisfiscal year, the state has paid us for fourmonths. Thanks for standing in the gapfor us.It may seem, in light of our need, that we, as individuals,can’t make much of a difference. Truth is, God takesthe “mites” we give and makes it work! Any donation isappreciated. It is just an encouragement when you, ourdear supporters, come alongside of us and assist us in thebattle.Recently, Fairview Haven was the recipient of a nicedonation check from Monsanto. One of our dear supportersentered a contest and was chosen the winner. Theprize was the opportunity to choose two non-profit organizationsin the county and each would receive a nicedonation in the winner’s honor.Our dear supporter chose us as one of the recipientsand, on March 31, we received a 2 1/2 foot by 15 inchcheck — a symbol of the real thing which we will receiveshortly. It will go to our Good Samaritan Fund andjoin all the generous donor dollars to assist us in providingcare to those we serve. Thanks, John and Lavonne, forthinking of Fairview Haven and the loved ones we serve!May God bless all those who undergird us with prayerand support.RICK PLATTNER and Walter Teubel display thedonation to the Good Samaritan Fund of FairviewHaven from Monsanto.

Therapy and Exercise takes center stageNEWS FROM THE HAVEN — PAGE 3It has been about 15 years since we really consideredimprovements to our Therapy and Exercise Room. Exerciseis critical to keeping all of us strong, up and going and functioningat our highest practicable level. This is especiallytrue as we age.Rehabilitation has also become a large part of FairviewHaven’s repertoire of services. Increasingly, people whocome to Fairview Haven are in need of a Medicare rehabilitationstay.POLST coming soonAll residents and family members will soon bereceiving information about POLST.What is POLST? POLST is an advance directive,newly published in the state of Illinois.The letters are an abbreviation for Physician’sOrder for Life-Sustaining Treatment.POLST replaces the standard Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) with more in-depth choices. Aperson can choose CPR or DNR on the POLSTform. Other choices to ponder include intubation,ventilation, artificial nutrition, comfortmeasures, and so forth.The Social Services team will contact you todiscuss POLST and help guide you through thedecision-making process. You may also wish todiscuss its options with your physician. ThePOLST form will be signed by your physicianafter you have selected your choices.Life is uncertain. Advance directives, such asPOLST, give you an opportunity to share withyour loved ones the decisions you would wantthem to make for you in the event of a health crisis.You can ease a difficult situation for yourloved ones by making sure they know what yourwishes are.Please contact Social Services if you havequestions about advance directives.A f t e rsome analysis,we feelthat someupgrades areneeded tokeep ourtherapy ande x e r c i s eprogram atits peak sothat we canhelp peoplerehabilitateeasier andfaster. Theu p g r a d e sA NUSTEP exercise machine with specialsafety features for older adults.will alsogreatly benefit those who live here.Fairview Haven partners with the OSF Therapy teamfrom St. James. We have consulted them for recommendationsabout equipment upgrades.A NuStep exercise machine (see photo) would be verybeneficial. It strengthens the upper and lower body and hassafety features designed for use by older adults. New parallelbars and stairs are also recommended by the OSF team.There are various smaller items that would be helpful.The price tag is a whopping $10,000-$15,000! Is thereanyone out there that would consider adopting a foot or twoof our Therapy and Exercise Room? The square footage ofthe room is about 500 square feet so it looks like the upgradeincluding equipment and refurbishing would be about $30per square foot.Would you be willing to adopt a tile or two? Our residentswill be the beneficiaries and it will add to the gold inmany lives. If you would like to help, please send donationsto Fairview Haven marked for Therapy Upgrade Fund.Thanks!Also all proceeds from the Fairview Haven Spring BakeSale will be contributed to the Therapy Upgrade Fund.☺ Welcome to Fairview Haven ☺Chatsworth resident MaryHornickel is staying in Angel Avenue.Fairview Estates resident PhoebeMiller has come for recuperation.She is living in Daffodil Drive.Sandra Zimmerman of Fairburywas here for a short time.

NEWS FROM THE HAVEN — PAGE 5A VAST CONSPIRACYContributed by AnonymousWe must stop this immediately!Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper.Groceries are heavier. And everything is fartheraway?Yesterday I walked to the corner and I wasdumbfounded to discover how long our street hadbecome!And, you know, people are less considerate now,especially the young ones. They speak in whispers allthe time! If you ask them to speak up, they just keeprepeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the samesilent message until they’re red in the face. What dothey think I am—a lip reader?I also think they are much younger than I was atthe same age.On the other hand, people my own age are so mucholder than I am. I ran into an old friend the other dayand she has aged so much that she didn’t evenrecognize me. I got to thinking about the poor dearwhile I was combing my hair this morning and, in doingso, I glanced at my own reflection. Well, REALLY …WOW! Even mirrors are not made the way they usedto be!Another thing, everyone drives so fast nowadays.You’re risking life and limb if you happen to pull outonto the freeway in front of them. All I can say is—their brakes must wear out awfully fast the way I seethem screech and swerve in my rearview mirror.Clothing manufacturers are less civilized thesedays. Why else would they suddenly start labeling asize 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no onenotices that these things no longer fit properly?The people who make bathroom scales are pullingthe same prank. Do they think I actually believe thenumber I see on that dial? HA! I would never letmyself weigh that much! Just who do these peoplethink they’re fooling?I’d like to call up someone in authority to reportwhat is going on—but the telephone company is in onthe conspiracy too. They’ve printed the phone books insuch small type that no one could ever find a number inthere!All I can do is pass along this warning — We areunder attack!
