News From DRCS: 

Beth Romeo 

The Importance of Hydration 

in Seniors 

A loss of hydration is one of the 

major factors that impacts how 

seniors look and feel. As we age, 

our total body water decreases 

along with thirst sensation. Fluid 

loss is serious, affecting the heart, 

kidneys and brain, and can even 

be life threatening. 

Dehydration can make seniors 

weak and dizzy, which increases 

their chances of falling. Health 

Canada estimates that 20 percent 

of injury-related deaths among 

seniors can be traced back to a 

fall. Though it may seem like 

merely a summertime 

phenomenon, dehydration can 

strike us during all seasons. 

In fact, dehydration is 

accelerated during the cold 

weather and at higher altitudes 

because the air we breathe is drier 

Chris (left) sits with Bill in 

the Neighborhood. Chris 

is one of our finest and 

residents love him! 

under these conditions. When we 

breathe, our bodies humidify the 

dry outside air and heat it up to 

our body’s temperature, which is 

why our wintry exhalations look 

like fog. 

The good news is that keeping 

hydrated is easy. Here are some 

simple ways to prevent 

dehydration: Do not judge need 

for water by thirst, Drink water 

whether you are thirsty or not, Be 

aware of certain foods and 

beverages that promote water loss, 

Increase your water intake by 

consuming foods like oranges, 

watermelon, and leafy green 

vegetables. Keep hydrated when 

you are on the go. 

The Mayo Clinic acknowledges 

that most doctors recommend 

drinking eight to nine cups of 

water a day, but said that people 

need to drink as much water as is 

necessary to replace water that is 

lost throughout the day. 

Employee of the Month October: 

Chris V. 

Belmont Sabre Springs honors Chris V., 

Neighborhood PAL, as Employee of the Month. 

Born in Whittier, California, during his 

childhood days camping with family was the 

most fun. Nowadays he loves fishing, 

motorcycling, and the outdoors. 

This is Chris’s first job working in the 

healthcare field; he plans to eventually become 

an RN. His favorite thing about working here is 

seeing the faces of thankful residents.

Thanks for the 

Memories 

Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the 

birthplace of this month’s 

“Thanks For The Memories.” John 

Koshear was the youngest of three 

children. At age three, the 

Koshears moved to Long Beach, 

California. The oil boom hit 

Southern California and there was 

plenty of work for carpenters 

building oil derricks. In 1933, an 

earthquake damaged John’s 

house, so the family moved to 

Hollywood where his father built 

movie sets for the movie industry. 

John graduated from Fairfax 

High School in 1937. He attended 

UCLA for two years and then UC 

Berkeley and earned a degree in 

Mechanical Engineering. While at 

Berkeley, John joined the Navy 

and was commissioned in 1941. 

After attending training in the 

Navy, he spent the entire war in 

Maui. He was in charge of a 

couple hundred men whose job 

was to repair planes when their 

aircraft carriers were in port. John 

retired as a Lt. Commander in the 

Naval Reserves. 

John met his wife Babette in 

Los Angeles and married her in 

1948. They have two daughters, a 

son and two grandchildren. His 

career was very illustrious. In his 

33 years as an aeronautical 

engineer, he worked on the 

Navajo Missile, the Titan Missile, 

the Apollo Program, and finally 

the F-14 Tomcat before retiring 

at 67. 

John was a serious body surfer, 

loved walking, and for 23 years 

belonged to the Sierra Club hiking 

club. They also enjoyed traveling 

and went on several cruises to 

Europe and Hawaii. 

John came to Belmont in July 

2005. He is an avid Bridge player, 

loves listening to music, and 

reading. John, “Thanks For The 

Memories.”

Meet the Chef 

Every third Thursday from 1 

to 1:30 p.m., Chef Le Roy 

Patten will be available to talk 

with in the Dining Room. 

Bob, Betty Buell, & Betty Sanders on 

the move! 

Our New Chef Manager: 

Le Roy Patten 

Le Roy Patten was born right 

here in San Diego, California. 

During those childhood days, his 

favorite thing to do with family 

was camping in the Laguna 

Mountains. After growing up, Le 

Roy decided to explore a 

long-term career as a Chef. He 

worked his way through school at 

Grossmont College learning 

business management. He has 

enhanced his career through great 

experience and many seminars to 

Veterans’ Ceremony 

For the month of November, Belmont 

endeavors to honor our many wonderful 

veterans—both residents and staff. The 

ceremony will include pinning, saluting, 

presentation and acknowledgments. 

Wednesday, Nov. 28 

Veterans’ Ceremony 

Great Room at 3:15 p.m. 

become a better chef. 

He has been in the restaurant 

business since 1979 and is thrilled 

about satisfying people’s taste 

buds. Working at Claim Jumper, 

Le Roy quickly made his way up 

to senior management. Lucky for 

Belmont, four and a half years 

ago, he opened Belmont Cardiff as 

the Chef Manager. 

Le Roy and his wife Debbie 

have two sons. He enjoys detailing 

motorcycles and cars. As well, he 

owns two Harley Davidson bikes, 

which you might see him ride to 

work. Not only has he traveled all 

over the world but he has been to 

47 of the 50 United States. 

What he loves most about 

Belmont is that, “Every day is a 

history lesson.” Thanks for joining 

our team to make Josephine’s 

Kitchen a pleasurable place to eat. 

We look forward to our 3 “Locally 

Designated Meals” each month to 

experience his cuisine.

Circle of 

Friends News 

When describing the Circle of 

Friends program, the word 

“therapeutic” is generally used in 

conjunction with the phrase 

“activity program.” Is this just 

something we threw in because it 

sounds good? Well, yes, but only 

because it’s true! The program was 

created with therapeutic benefits 

in mind, using research based 

methodology. 

We assess each resident in the 

program every three months using 

a tool called the Dementia Older 

Adults Rating Scale (DOARS). The 

DOARS shows us the degree of 

dementia each resident is 

experiencing, and gives us insight 

as to which parts of the brain are 

most affected. We have seen that 

the disease process is slower to 

progress in residents participating 

in the program, and for many 

Circle of Friends residents, their 

cognitive function actually 

improves! 

Circle of Friends visit the Humane 

Society! 

Neighborhood News 

The holiday season is quickly 

approaching, which means lots of 

new visitors to the building. We 

expect to see extended family, 

out-of-towners, 

great-grandchildren, and a 

plethora of folks coming to 

entertain. While this is wonderful 

for our residents, this also means 

a host of new germs coming in as 

well. Please be diligent about 

washing your hands frequently, 

and encouraging your guests to do 

the same. 

Also, as much as you want to 

visit with your loved ones, we ask 

that you refrain from coming into 

the building if you are sick, as 

many of our elderly residents are 

frail and have compromised 

immune systems. What might be a 

sniffle for you could quickly turn 

into a serious bout of pneumonia 

for one of our dear residents. 

Thank you so much for 

understanding and have a 

wonderful Thanksgiving!
