A message from Joseph E. Murphy, chief executive officer

With the long-awaited arrival of spring, it’s hard not to smile every time you walk outside. For each of our Masonic Villages, the signs of spring arrive in various forms.

In Dallas, residents are able to dine outdoors at the Irem Clubhouse, which is gearing up for wedding season. Golfers have started hitting the greens, too.

In Elizabethtown, the Formal Gardens are being prepared for the Elizabethtown Area High School prom to be held in May on our campus. The landscape department is busy cleaning up after the long winter, and the more than 35,000 spring flowering bulbs they planted in the fall are showing their pretty heads.

Lafayette Hill is undergoing a major transformation with the new apartment building and façade updates nearing completion.

While work continued throughout the winter, it should really pick up speed now, with completion expected this summer. The standing garden beds are also being restored.

In Sewickley, trips to flower shows and high school musicals have commenced. The

sounds of children playing outdoors can be heard from the Masonic Village Child Care Center. On April 15, the annual Spring Social brought everyone together for good food and company.

In Warminster, staff and residents (especially Winston the dog) are excited to be able to sit outside in the courtyard again and enjoy the flowers and pond. Charlie the carp shares their enthusiasm.

Spring heralds Volunteer Recognition Week (April 12-18). Some locations celebrated throughout the week, while others will hold events later in the year. The close to 1,000 volunteers who commit their unpaid time to helping us serve our residents and the community deserve much appreciation.

I thank each and every one of you for your part in Masonic Villages’ Mission of Love.

Putting Your Mind at Ease When it comes to our physical health, our bodies may send us a signal in the form of pain, discomfort or a change in appearance to alert us of a problem. With mental health, the signs of a problem may not be as easily identifiable, nor are the treatment options as well known. Across the Masonic Villages, staff provide resources and assistance for a broad range of conditions, issues and concerns.

What is mental health?

According to Dr. Jess Lee, psychologist at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown, mental health can be defined as any emotional struggle with day-to-day living. “You may not be at a point emotionally where you want to be,” he said. “It could be something simple or clinically complex.”

Conditions which affect mental health range from anxiety and depression to more clinical diagnosis, such as bipolar disorder. These conditions may be brought on by stress, resulting from a change in environment or disruption of routine, or from experiencing a loss, such as the death of a loved one, loss of mobility or loss of selfworth or purpose. Dr. Lee also works with staff to address behavioral issues, such as a resident who may be a risk to him or herself.

“Older adults can go through various adjustments that can be emotionally taxing, including their family moving away or transitioning

through different levels of care, “ Dr. Lee said. “With aging, you have more health concerns, and that affects you emotionally.

“As individuals age, they experience physical changes which can lead them to feeling isolated or overly critical of themselves, resulting in depression or other behaviors,” Leah DiPersio, director of social services at Masonic Village at Lafayette Hill, said. “Individuals who are no longer able to verbalize their feelings may express their feelings as behaviors or agitation.”

According to Stacy Schroder, director of wellness and prevention at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown, the science behind stress is that it causes the body to release hormones which stimulate the brain and body. In addition to the increased risk of chronic conditions, this hormone release can lead to fatigue, loss of memory and concentration, inability to fight off or recover from illness, anxiety, sadness, trouble eating and sleeping, pain, weight loss and irritability or moodiness. Studies show that long-term stress can damage brain cells, leading to depression.

Why is it important to address mental health?

While they may be defined differently, mental, spiritual and physical health are intrinsically linked.

“When you experience stress, anxiety and depression, the body

Village Voice

reacts to this state of imbalance by manifesting physical symptoms in our bodies,” Stacy said. “If left to continue over days, weeks and months, this can cause conditions which may be as serious as cancer, autoimmune diseases, reflux, weight gain, heart disease, high blood pressure and more.”

In cases where depression is brought about by unresolved grief, whether from loss of home, spouse/friends, identity and purpose or health, these can cumulatively take a toll on mental, physical and spiritual health.

“Helping people to recognize and verbalize their feelings of loss can be very helpful,” Rev. Tim Reichard, director of pastoral care at Masonic Village at Sewickley, said. “It gives them a perspective on what they feel and a framework for understanding what they are experiencing. Helping them find new sources of meaning, purpose and value all help to decrease the grief they experience. Not only this, but exploring and treating unresolved grief can prevent someone from taking medication which they may not need.”

How each individual addresses his or her mental health is unique. Some may choose to immediately seek help, whether from a psychologist or friends. Others may prefer to handle it on their own.

James Horan moved into an apartment at the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown in 1990. By his side was his wife, Laura. They were married for 50 years and spent 16 years together at Masonic Village until her passing in 2006. He was fortunate to have made many friends in that time, and his neighbors were very supportive after her death.

“You don’t feel lonely,” he said. “We’re very close on the third floor. People really care about you. You’re family here.”

James married Shirley a few years later. When she became ill, and James had to call an ambulance one day, neighbors immediately reached out. Shirley moved to the Masonic Health Care Center, where James visited her every day, and friends also stopped in. She passed away in 2014. With all the friends he’s made, and continues to make, he hasn’t eaten alone since. People offer to take him shopping, or he’ll open his front door and find bread and potatoes sitting in the doorway. Members of his lodge, St. AlbanSwain No. 529, Philadelphia, visit at least twice a year.

In addition to his friends’ support, James keeps himself busy. He had been an active volunteer in the past at the Masonic Health Care Center, and he belongs to the Men’s Group where he can share his views on a variety of topics and converse with other men who have lost a spouse. (Read more about the group under the Pastoral Care subhead.)

Al Leisey, also a resident of Masonic Village at Elizabethtown, is still learning to cope with the loss of his wife. Mary Helen, or Redsy, as he called her, passed away in September 2014. While she was ill, he cared for her at home which included reading everything he could to understand how to best provide for her. They eventually sought Masonic Village Hospice services. Mary Helen was a registered nurse, so she asked a lot of questions of those caring for her, which

was a great way to keep her involved.

“We were married 70 years,” Al said. “We couldn’t have had a better life.”

Al was impressed with the hospice services and appreciates what they were able to do for him by encouraging him to attend Bereavement Support Group meetings and helping him understand loss. He wants to return the favor one day, when he’s ready, by volunteering with the hospice program.

“I think I could talk to people who are lost in this matter of being in a dying state,” he said. “You need some direction. I’d like to add to things around here any way I can. I don’t know exactly how I can help, but I’ll explore my options.”

Even with the support group meetings, Al was still at a loss. Two pastors from Masonic Village visited with him and encouraged him to join the Men’s Group.

“I wanted to go somewhere where people can share points of view and feelings,” he said. “Express what we did as individuals.”

This group helps, and he’s learning to find his place, thanks to staff and other residents.

What resources and services are available at Masonic Villages?

Pastoral Care, Social Services, Therapeutic Recreation and Nursing staff at all locations can provide support, opportunities to vent feelings and options for available resources. They encourage participation in activities and welcome support from family members and caregivers. Nutrition and Dietary staff work to address any decline in appetite due to mental health issues.

Pastoral Care In Sewickley, Rev. Tim offers counseling primarily within the context of pastoral care, although he has experience addressing mental health issues.

“I’ve found that for the most part, there is great benefit in talking to a counselor or pastor about hopelessness and depression,” he said. “They will be able to direct the person to resources that might be helpful and provide an understanding of what they are feeling, as well as help them identify new sources of hope and joy. If a resident is having a difficult time, the staff will often contact me and ask me to meet with them.”

In Elizabethtown, in addition to meeting with residents one-onone, Pastoral Care staff host a Special Singles group for widowed women and a Men’s Group for widowed men.

Pastor A. Preston Van Deursen, director of pastoral care, leads the Special Singles, which meets the second Friday of each month, at 10:30 a.m., in the Keystone Room at the Clubhouse. The group was started in 1998 by two women who had lost their husbands weeks apart and wanted to remind people that “they were still alive.” Both

went to Pastor Preston and asked if he would begin a group that was supportive and uplifting to help others who have shared losses.

“One of the needs after a loss is to be connected, as many people have done things as couples and are now excluded or by themselves,” Pastor Preston said. ”That is one of the reasons we go on trips and lunches and celebrate holidays together. The purpose is to make the meetings joyful and allow people not to feel alone.”

Pastor Gary George, pastoral care assistant, leads the Men’s Group, which meets every third Tuesday, from 9 to 10 a.m., in the Keystone Room at the Clubhouse. Started in 2000, the group includes single and widowed men and men whose spouses reside in a memory support neighborhood and who may be lonely and exhausted from caregiving duties.

“We want to help them not feel isolated, alone or abandoned, and to use our meeting time to build relationships and encourage ongoing social interaction,” Pastor Gary said. “The group is very informal. I usually lead our discussions, or we have a guest speaker, and topics are varied. They may include recent news events, health issues, science, politics, entertainment, etc. I try to choose interesting subjects that apply to their interests and generation.”

Support Groups In Elizabethtown, the monthly Dementia Support and Education Group provides resources for those caring for a loved one living with dementia at Masonic Village or in the community. Meetings often feature speakers and serve as an outlet for those dealing with the stress of caring for a loved one with dementia. Many participants form bonds with one another and continue attending after their loved one passes away. The group meets the third Tuesday of every month, from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m., in the Masonic Health Care Center Assembly Room.

Bereavement Counseling The Bereavement Support Group in Elizabethtown meets the third Thursday of every month, from 10 - 11:30 a.m., in the Large Recreation Room in the Sycamore North Apartments. Attendees share in activities, such as music therapy, and inspirational discussions led by campus chaplains.

The Pastoral Care Department in Elizabethtown also leads a biannual Service of Remembrance and Gratitude in the spring and fall in the Masonic Health Care Center’s Assembly Room. Anyone who has lost a loved one, whether he or she received care at Masonic Village or not, is invited to attend.

For families of patients who receive Masonic Village Hospice services, support is offered for more than a year after the passing of their loved one. Regardless of whether they live locally or across the country, they receive a follow-up phone call from staff, cards, a bereavement support packet and newsletters. Staff offer to meet one-on-one with anyone who is interested in receiving support.

Therapeutic Recreation At the Masonic Village at Sewickley, Karen Hammond, recreation supervisor/concierge; Ann Beck, recreation director; and other staff look for signs of depression in residents, including forgetfulness, cognitive changes and agitation or aggression toward other residents or staff. They work as a team to address the situation.

“Recreationally speaking, we work toward getting the resident involved in events and activities they enjoy and, when necessary, send them reminders to attend,” Karen said. “The retirement living nurse, home care supervisor, social worker and myself work together to observe certain residents for changes every day. We also work closely with dining and housekeeping staff as they connect with the residents regularly.”

When residents move into the Sturgeon Health Care Center and Star Points Building personal care residence, staff meet with them and discuss their past interests, things that make them happy, things they do not like, etc.

“We assess their cognitive ability, as well as physical strengths and weaknesses, and how they are adapting to their new surroundings in general,” Ann said. “If residents are not able to answer, we discuss these things with family. We visit residents individually to gain trust and invite them personally to recreational activities, helping them to succeed at their own level. Another goal is to stimulate interaction with other residents to ward off loneliness.”

In Elizabethtown, Kirk Rakos, therapeutic recreation supervisor, and his staff of recreation therapists, look for similar signs in residents, focusing on the three plagues referred to by the Eden Alternative®: loneliness, helplessness and boredom. The Masonic Villages at Elizabethtown, Sewickley, Lafayette and Warminster are all certified Eden Alternative® communities.

“I truly believe recreation and leisure are antidotes to mental health,” Kirk said. “First, we learn why an individual did a particular activity or task, then attempt to bring purpose back into the resident’s life by engaging them through the use of recreation. As Morrie said in the book ‘Tuesdays with Morrie,’ if you are in bed, you are dead. We make sure our programming is based on variety and spontaneity.”

Individual Counseling Dr. Lee, in Elizabethtown, is able to listen to someone in confidence and provide a neutral perspective on a situation that maybe a person isn’t comfortable sharing with his or her spouse or family. Residents from across campus can visit with him. All they need to do is ask their doctor to make a referral. His office is located in the Masonic Health Care Center.

“I’m motivated by being someone who can advocate for residents, he said. “Be a listening ear and give them help in a way they’ve never had before. I do the best I can for residents who maybe don’t have anyone else or those who really aren’t functioning. I work with professionals to get them to a point where they’re happiest. It’s a team approach.”

Dr. Lee receives referrals from physicians, nurses and social workers. Depending on an individual’s level of depression, he may see him or her every week or every two weeks. During the initial visit, Dr. Lee asks a lot of questions to learn the person’s background and develop a therapeutic relationship and rapport. He may prompt with questions to find the root of the problem, or he may just listen to the person vent. There’s no limit to the number of visitations.

He may also recommend a prescription, which a physician then writes, although he tries to avoid pushing too many medications and believes in a combination of medication and counseling.

In Lafayette Hill, Leah and other staff may place a referral to a psychologist or a mental health nurse practitioner, inform the doctor or brainstorm as a team to help make the resident feel validated and supported.

In Sewickley, psychiatry professionals regularly visit the Sturgeon Health Care Center and Star Points Building personal care residence and assist with residents from retirement living who may not be able to easily leave campus. Nursing staff are trained to identify problems and make appropriate referrals.

Wellness Opportunities Physical exercise can improve self-esteem and mood and is an opportunity to socialize with others. Endorphins released during exercise create feelings of euphoria, so it’s more than just a psychological change, it’s chemical.

Scientific studies show working out increases the chemicals in the brain that support and prevent degeneration of the hippocampus, which is an important part of the brain for memory and learning.

Cardiovascular exercise can create new brain cells and improve overall brain performance, according to a Huffington Post article (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/27/mental-healthbenefits-exercise_n_2956099.html).

In Elizabethtown, residents can participate in health and wellness programs that target the topics of stress management, healthy aging, relaxation, meditation, diet, exercise, reframing, time management, coping skills, humor, journaling, hobbies,

relationships, communication and aromatherapy. They can use the Masonic Life Center or one of three pools on campus, as well as almost eight miles of walking paths.

In Sewickley, residents can visit the Barley Wellness Center for personal coaching or participate in classes such as Fit for Life, stretching or water exercise. They can also attend Allegheny General Health’s Healthy Living Series or Genesis Rehab programs each month. The campus includes an indoor pool and walking paths.

In Lafayette Hill, the Wellness Center is open 24 hours a day, and fitness classes are offered weekly through an outside contractor.

Residents also participate in the annual senior games.

In Warminster, staff lead a daily exercise class at 9:30 a.m. and a wellness group at 11 a.m. in the personal care area. DVDs are available featuring tai chi and other exercises.

In Dallas, residents have access to an on-site fitness center and classes, such as Tai Chi for Arthritis® or Nordic Walking, as well as the Healthier Selves series which features local experts covering various topics. Residents also benefit from a close relationship with Misericordia University, located next to Masonic Village. The college offers a pool, fitness center, classes and walking track.

A Changing Paradigm In his eight years at Masonic Village, Dr. Lee has seen an increase in the number of people seeking his services. “People are a lot more accepting of seeing a psychologist,” he said. “The stigma has lessened, and there’s a lot more awareness.”

“Everyone is a package, and the package isn’t complete unless it is all taken care of,” Cindy Stefl, director of resident services at Masonic Village at Sewickley said. “People’s physical health is better if their mental health is taken care of, and their mental health is better if they’re taken care of physically.”

“Leaving a mental health issue untreated can cause a lot of distress to people and their families, and can ultimately hurt their physical health as well,” Leah said.

“It’s never a sign of weakness to ask for help,” Rev. Tim said. “All of us from time to time need someone to give us support and care.”

Helping a Loved One Address Mental Health Issues Between visits or phone calls, as a family member or caregiver, you may notice a change in your loved one. Simply asking, “What’s wrong?” may not address the issue, especially if your loved one doesn’t think or realize anything is wrong. Below, Masonic Villages’ staff offer some advice to help identify signs of mental health issues and how to address them, even if you live far away.

According to Dr. Jess Lee, psychologist at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown, if your loved one has been really depressed for more than two weeks or has lost interest in things they used to find enjoyable, they may be experiencing depression. They may seem helpless or hopeless, tearful or even express not wanting to move forward in life.

In addition to emotional changes, Leah DiPersio, director of social services at Masonic Village at Lafayette Hill, said family members or caregivers may observe behavioral changes.

If you notice any of the following signs or symptoms, you are encouraged to talk with staff at Masonic Village:

• Change in eating habits • Change in sleeping habits • Decreased energy • Memory loss or confusion • Increased agitation or anger • Irritability • Neglect of self-care • Chronic aches

8

Once the issue or problem is recognized, staff can help encourage your loved one to become more involved in activities or just talk with them. Family members and caregivers can do the same.

“First and most important, you must be an active listener and validate your loved one’s feelings,” Kirk Rakos, therapeutic recreation supervisor at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown, said.

“Find an activity you can do together that provides your family member a purpose. Introduce variety and spontaneity into your visits. Visit on different days. Instead of talking about the weather, go outside for a change of scenery, sunshine (vitamin D) and fresh air. Make the visit about them and the things they like, not just the news or weather.”

“Families are encouraged to visit regularly if they are able to,” Ann Beck, recreation director at Masonic Village at Sewickley, said. “We suggest they encourage residents not to self-isolate, but to join others in social situations, leave their rooms and spend time in common areas with others. We recommend families and friends join residents in group activities and even to go on community outings planned by the Recreation Department.”

“One of the easiest ways for families and friends to help when they are away is to make phone calls just to chat and reminder calls to alert them of special activities or events on campus,” Karen Hammond, recreation supervisor/concierge at Masonic Village at Sewickley, said. “If they are local, they are encouraged to make as many visits as possible and help to introduce their loved one to other residents. Sometimes families get better results because the resident is familiar with them, whereas a resident may not be themselves with staff initially.”

Partners in Specialized Heart Surgery For patients recovering from open heart surgery or awaiting a heart transplant, a ventricular assist device (VAD) – a mechanical device that takes over the pumping action of the heart for either one or both ventricles – was traditionally inserted to temporarily support the heart. In the last five years, VADs have become a long-term treatment option for those with advanced heart failure who are not candidates for a heart transplant (typically over age 70).

Once patients recover from surgery to insert this device, they require assistance with learning to maintain the device and dress the wound, as well as physical and occupational therapy – assistance which is better provided in a rehabilitation setting, rather than a hospital. To fill this need, Masonic Village at Elizabethtown has been named Lancaster General Health’s first preferred provider for patients recovering from a VAD insertion.

Enabling patients to leave the hospital soon after surgery, Masonic Village’s Transitional Care Unit (TCU) provides a clinical setting which can meet their specialized needs. Beyond traditional rehabilitation, care for these patients includes the use of state-of-the-art technology, close physician oversight, coordination with Lancaster General Health’s VAD Clinic and continuous staff training.

“Physician and nursing staff have been specifically trained to care for individuals with VADs, while addressing the needs of their families and caregivers, as well,” Laurie Shive, nurse manager, said. “A team of physical, occupational and speech therapists, combined with therapeutic recreation, dietary, pastoral care, social services and other staff help patients recover physically and mentally, and we provide them and their families with the

proper guidance to care for themselves at home.”

The first patient recovering from a VAD insertion arrived at Masonic Village the end of January, and a second patient who had a new device placed arrived in February. After several days of rest, patients start daily physical, occupational and speech therapy. A VAD relieves symptoms like shortness of breath, and with therapy, patients can learn to adapt to a normal level of activity.

Transitional Care Unit Masonic Village at Elizabethtown’s TCU includes 28 private and 20 semi-private suites. The newly renovated suites include a flat-screen TV with cable, telephone, wireless Internet access, small refrigerator, electric lift chair and bed. Patients enjoy served-toorder entrées in a country kitchen dining area or in their rooms.

The TCU offers physical, speech and occupational therapy for individuals with injuries and illnesses such as orthopedic conditions, total joint replacement, amputation, strokes, cardiac events, respiratory conditions, complications from diabetes and infections. Patients have access to state-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment, therapy and technology; an emergency call system; and adaptive devices. Access to a laboratory and X-rays on-site also helps prevent readmission to a hospital.

“Partnering with Lancaster General Health is another way for us to extend our mission by offering a service that is needed in the community,” Beth Bossert, chief operating officer of health care services, said. “We have the accommodations and staff, and in turn, are able to benefit patients and their families, Lancaster General Health and Masonic Village.”

Health Update

by J. Kenneth Brubaker, M.D., C.M.D.,

medical director, Masonic Village at Elizabethtown

Prevention of Strokes Can Prevent Memory Loss The second most common cause for memory loss is cerebral vascular accidents (CVAs) or strokes (a term more commonly used by non-medically trained persons). Historically, CVAs have been defined as a sudden decline in brain function that can be manifested by the loss of upper and lower extremity function on one side of the body and frequently associated with speech difficulty.

Diagnosing Brain Diseases In the mid-1970s, with the invention of the computer axial tomography, or CAT scanning, the ability to make quicker and more accurate diagnoses of brain diseases increased exponentially.

Approximately five years later, another historically significant brain assessment instrument, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), was invented. Both the CAT and MRI have enabled researchers to develop a better understanding of the numerous changes that take place in the brain secondary to aging and diseases.

CAT scanning of the brain uses a series of X-rays of the head taken from many different directions and forms a composite picture of the entire brain. Unfortunately, one of the recently recognized concerns with CAT scanning is the high dose of radiation exposure, and there is increasing caution in the overuse of CAT studies. On the other hand, MRI equipment does not expose one to radiation.

An MRI uses magnetic and radio waves to produce an accurate image of the organ that is being evaluated. One disadvantage is the increased cost of an MRI study.

Risk Factors About 500,000 Americans experience new or recurrent CVAs each year. Many of these individuals experience some decline in memory. Risk factors for CVAs include age, sex, heredity and lifestyle choices. CVA risks increase with age, doubling for each decade after the age of 55. Men are more likely to experience a CVA than women. Obesity, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, smoking and a sedentary lifestyle all contribute to an increased risk for a CVA. Recent research has consistently demonstrated that heredity plays a much smaller role in contributing to CVAs than lifestyle choices. Improved lifestyle choices include regular exercise; avoiding over eating; consuming more fruits, vegetables, nuts and low-fat milk products; and consuming less salt.

10

Focus on Blood Pressure In addition to lifestyle choices, blood pressure management is very important. There is a clearly established relationship between elevated blood pressure and CVAs. Recently, three leading groups of heart experts have changed their previously recommended blood pressures for American adults.

All adults younger than 60 years of age should keep their blood pressures less than 140/90. The cardiology groups also recommended guidelines of 130/80 for those with heart disease who have already had a heart attack, CVA or mini-CVA, arterial blockage in their legs or an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Those 60 years and older should keep their blood pressures less than 150/90. These recommendations were based on reviewing numerous published medical research articles, not merely on a consensus group of experts.

In spite of these guidelines, concerns remain about those over 80 years of age, the most rapidly growing population in America.

Since there is very sparse research in the 80-plus age group, many geriatricians have recognized that this group of older adults will need to have individualized blood pressure goals that are based on their ability to tolerate blood pressures less than the 150/90. For example, some older adults will experience significant adverse symptoms such as dizziness or lightheadedness if their blood pressures are lower than 160/90. In spite of these higher acceptable blood pressures in adults 80-plus, many will continue to live an active and high quality of life that goes well into their 90s without any adverse effects.

Memory loss due to vascular damages in the brain is one of the few types of memory loss that we can prevent by maintaining good control of our blood pressure and making good lifestyle choices no matter what age we may be. It is never too late to start swimming and walking daily, change the type of food we consume and avoid overusing salt. It is never too late to stop smoking, and it is not too late to start losing some weight if one is obese.

Finally, the lifestyle changes recommended for the prevention of memory loss due to CVAs are equally applicable to Alzheimer’s disease. There has been a plethora of recently published medical literature validating that late onset memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease is preventable.

Sewickley Opens Clubhouse Clinic

Directory Care Manager – ext. 3100 Physician Services – Dr. O’Donnell: Mondays, 9 a.m. to noon. Dr. Shinn: Second and fourth Fridays by appointment.

Podiatry – First and third Fridays by appointment Audiology – By appointment: ext. 3639

In response to residents’ requests for easy access to additional clinical services at the Masonic Village at Sewickley, the Clubhouse Clinic is now open on the ground level of the Clubhouse next to the library. It is home to the office of Sherry McLean, R.N., care manager (shown above left), as well as audiology, podiatry and physician services.

The renovations were made possible thanks to a donor who wishes to remain anonymous.

“We wanted to provide a convenient option for residents, so when they stop in the Clubhouse for lunch, they can visit the bank and see a doctor, all in one trip,” Tracy Leja, assistant executive director, said. “Not having to leave campus is especially convenient when the weather is bad.”

Sherry helps residents in the retirement living area manage their medications, follows up with anyone who has recently been injured or ill, arranges medical appointments and meets with new residents. She also handles residents’ urgent needs.

Residents will need to make appointments to see the specialists and doctors in the clinics.

The pharmacy will continue to be located in the Star Points Building and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

For residents in the Star Points Building and Sturgeon Health Care Center, clinical services are still provided on the second floor of the Star Points Building next to the pharmacy.

Transitional Care Unit Officially Opens The Transitional Care Unit, located within the Sturgeon Health Care Center, includes 15 private rooms for individuals needing short-term rehabilitation while recovering from injuries and illnesses.

Open for residents of Masonic Village at Sewickley, as well as individuals from the community, this unit offers physical, speech and occupational therapies using state-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment and technology. Accommodations include a living room, cooked-to-order entrées served in a dining room or in-room, a flat-screen television with cable, docking stations for iPods, telephone, wireless internet access and emergency call system.

“Short-term rehabilitation gives individuals time to build their strength and reach their prior level of functioning before they return home,” Cindy Stefl, director of resident services, said. “With everything they need in the Transitional Care Unit, they are able to concentrate on their recovery. This type of environment, combined with intensive therapy, enables them to get back to their normal routine quickly.”

If you or someone you know will be in need of short-term rehabilitation services, please contact 412-741-1400, and ask for ext.

3600, 3430 or 3010, prior to hospitalization. You can find an application online at www.MVSTransitionalCare.org.

New Clubs on the Block

Photography Club Focuses on Making Pictures Masonic Village at Elizabethtown resident Roger Ford’s first camera was a Kodak Instamatic, and he “could do more with that camera as a knee biter” than he can with some modern cameras. At age 16, his dad gave him a Zeiss Ikon from World War II. It had no light meter, and distances were measured in meters. Both cameras helped him learn about basic photography, something he feels people may be missing out on today.

“I wish the new mirrorless cameras had the optical viewfinder my old Instamatic had,” he said. “I really think being able to see and frame a picture is vital. Sometimes the new cameras that rely on an LCD [liquid-crystal-display] don’t let you do that operation very well, especially in sunlight. I wish there were more everyday cameras with optical viewfinders.”

Roger’s passion for photography and his desire to inspire others to discover its allure led him to start a Photography Club on campus. “I want people to gain experience doing it,” he said.

“If the picture turns out, that’s icing on the cake. If nothing else, it’s in focus. It’s just fun.”

The first meeting in March covered equipment and how to use it. In the future, he’ll concentrate on light, picture format and design. He plans to show some of his photos (a few of which are shown above) and encourages people to bring their own to share their inspiration and thought process. There will be time for open discussion when people can offer constructive criticism.

The club meets the first Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Grand Lodge Hall Assembly Room. Anyone who is

14

interested may attend. There’s no need to RSVP. Roger took photos throughout his life including many of his two daughters (which was often an experiment in composure), until he became ill and had to take a break from photography and much else in his life. When he was able to start taking photos again, he visited parks near his home in State College to see nature in its regular state. He advanced his skills from taking a photo with a flower in the middle to filling the frame and designing the photo.

“Photography is something that can be done even when you’re not 100 percent healthy,” he said. “It’s about making pictures, not taking pictures. I like to walk around, look and see what says to me, ‘This could be a great photo.’ I wait for a good subject.”

That’s exactly what he did when he spotted a deer while outside exploring one day. He waited patiently for the deer to expose itself in the ideal position, which was amidst two fields divided by telephone poles. As the doe foraged, Roger “hunted” her with his camera until the shadows of the early afternoon were at the perfect angle, and she edged into the right spot. The photo’s composition was a harmony of light, lines, textures and subject. See the photo above.

Roger moved to Masonic Village in November 2014, and he’s excited to get outside and explore the manicured grounds.

The 1,400-acre campus, with its ornate architecture, Formal Gardens, ponds, fields and woodland, is a photographer’s paradise.

Pilot’s Club Takes Off It has been said that if a pilot walks into a crowded room and discovers another pilot, suddenly there is no one else in the room.

With guest speakers, scheduled trips and plenty of social interaction, the Pilot’s Club at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown is the perfect place for those interested in aviation.

“From overhearing and participating in many conversations about flying with fellow residents, I got the idea to start the club,” Louis Johnson, creator of the Pilot’s Club, said. “I got quite a response, and 25 residents signed up.”

The club was started in October and currently has 35 members. Anyone who is a licensed pilot and looking to share their memories, hear from others and catch up on current air regulations is welcome.

“Everyone wears a nametag to encourage conversation and as an opportunity to meet each other,” Louis said. “It’s great because we all get to learn from one another and talk about our past.”

Since its establishment, the club has hosted speakers from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and executives from the Harrisburg International Airport. With discussion periods during each meeting, members have an opportunity to ask speakers questions, as well as learn from fellow members. A number of qualified speakers within the club have also given excellent presentations.

The club hopes to organize trips to various local aviation museums and airports in the future.

The Pilot’s Club meets on the first Monday of every month at 1:30 p.m. in the Keystone Room located at the Clubhouse.

Those interested in joining the Pilot’s Club or looking for more information may call Louis at 717-361-3912.

Staying Active with Racquetball

Two racquets, one ball and a court are all Masonic Village at Dallas residents Harold Hartley, Jr. and Allen “Al” Henninger (shown l-r above) need to have a good time.

For the past two years, Harold and Al have been playing racquetball together using nearby Misericordia University’s indoor courts. Typically playing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning for an hour and a half, both Harold and Al have experienced several health benefits from playing racquetball in addition to the entertainment.

“It’s a good aerobic workout,” Harold said. “I’m still alive, and I enjoy being able to do physical things. I do try to limit my playing time though, since I am 84 years old.”

While Harold has been playing racquetball since the early 1970s, Al just began two years ago when he decided to ask Harold if he could tag along to one of his games.

“He had an extra racquet and picked me up the next morning,” Al said. “From there on out, I loved it. I wasn’t any good, of course, but I felt the exercise was good for me.”

Although he fell in love with the sport, Al still needed to learn the skills and techniques it took to play full games. After

16

he was dedicated to attending the practices, Harold started teaching Al the basics. After that, he moved on to teaching him more advanced skills.

“I found a great mentor in Harold,” Al said. “I felt he was never easy on me, but he might have thought otherwise!”

Al then started to bring his own equipment to their meetings and show up early to work on the skills Harold had demonstrated for him. After a year, he began to see some progress.

“I actually started to win a few games,” Al said.

He also started noticing some of his own health benefits.

“I am a diabetic, and since moving here and being involved in walking, yoga, golf, lifting and especially racquetball, I’ve seen my weight drop 20 pounds and my blood sugar come down,” Al said. “Good health makes you enjoy retirement more.”

For anyone who wants to give racquetball a try, Harold and Al have a few suggestions.

“All you have to do is find someone to play with and stick with it,” Harold said.

“I recommend finding a mentor like I did or just visiting a court,” Al said. “People are friendly and open to new players or experimenters.”

Besides racquetball, Al enjoys playing golf, trying his hand at blackjack at the local casino and attending local sporting events.

Harold also spends his time hunting, studying genealogy and with his children and grandchildren.

Although they have slightly different interests outside of racquetball, Harold and Al like to stay active and both enjoy living at Masonic Village.

“The facilities are nice and all of your maintenance is taken care of,” Harold said. “The residents here are fantastic, too. It’s easy to be active here.”

“My wife and I get together with some other residents several times a week,” Al said. “We go out to dinner, play games or just sit around and talk about the good life.”

A Cool New View at the Masonic Village Farm Market On May 22, the Masonic Village Farm Market will officially open the Orchard View Café in Elizabethtown. Products will include hand-dipped ice cream, milk shakes, sundaes, soda floats, hot dogs, hot soup, apple cider slushies and a weekly special, such as pulled pork, beef BBQ or chicken BBQ sandwiches.

“We wanted to offer shoppers a chance to stop and enjoy lunch or dinner amidst the beautiful setting of our orchard,” Tad Kuntz, orchard supervisor, said. “This was a great opportunity to partner with a local creamery and expand our selection of local products.”

The café is as an addition to the front of the Farm Market and will be open from Memorial Day weekend through the end of October. Hours are Monday through Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 7 p.m.

Farm Market staff spent about two months searching south central Pennsylvania for the best-tasting locally-produced ice cream (a tough task indeed) and chose Trickling Springs Creamery. The creamery opened in 2001 in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and makes their ice cream in micro-batches to maintain the quality and consistency of the flavors and textures.

Flavors include a variety of basics, as well as seasonal options like blueberry, peaches ‘n cream, Dutch apple, pumpkin and eggnog. The peanut butter and black cherry were among the favorites of the Farm Market staff.

Trickling Springs Creamery will also supply the Farm Market with glass-bottled milk. It offers super-premium, wholesome milk from grass-fed cows without the use of synthetic hormones and processes the milk using a low temperature pasteurization

method that allows the milk’s natural proteins and enzymes to live, resulting in a healthier and better tasting product. It follows a set of milk quality guidelines which are up to four times stricter than federal guidelines. The milk is bottled in returnable glass bottles which are sterilized and refilled at the creamery. The Farm Market will also carry the creamery’s homemade butter and hand-packed containers of ice cream.

Unfortunately, the Farm Market cannot ship ice cream along with its produce and jarred goods. If you don’t live nearby, plan to visit during Autumn Day on Saturday, Sept. 19. For the Farm Market’s online catalog, blog and a schedule for pick-your-own apples and pumpkins, visit www.MVFarmMarket.com.

A Community Caregiver

Dr. Robert Hale ran his family medical practice for 35 years on Fairway Road in Lafayette Hill. Always by his side was his wife, Edna, known by her friends as “Chick.”

Chick was a graduate of the West Jersey School of Nursing, where she had received her registered nursing degree. During World War II, she volunteered as an Army Cadet. The couple has three children and two grandchildren.

Throughout his years serving patients, Bob talked with several who resided at Masonic Village at Lafayette Hill, so he knew it had a good reputation. When he and Chick were ready to move, Masonic Village was the first option that came to

mind. When Chick developed Alzheimer’s disease, staff cared for her and provided assistance for Bob. She passed away in June 2014. “[Staff] were all very cooperative,” he said of her transition.

“They were wonderful.”

In her memory, Bob wished to make a donation to Masonic Villages. He met with Joyce Michelfelder, director of gift planning - east, who suggested he contribute toward some items from Masonic Villages’ Wish List. The wish list includes essential items needed for Masonic Villages’ daily operations ranging from wheelchairs to recreational trips to aquariums.

He chose to give toward several televisions for the nursing care area and new patio furniture for people to enjoy outdoors.

He also named a balcony in Chick’s memory.

“I felt I could repay them in some way,” he said. “She was at Masonic Village for about two years, and they took care of her.

They were very good to her.”

Bob and Chick spent years caring for people in the Lafayette Hill community. Now, as Masonic Village residents enjoy sunsets and sunrises on the balcony using the patio furniture, as well as their new televisions, the Hale’s impact will continue well into the future.

Enchanted Evening

Masonic Villages One Masonic Drive Elizabethtown, PA 17022

At the annual Enchanted Evening in Sewickley, ladies spent An Evening in Paris. The Star Points Assembly Room was transformed into an elegant setting with French influences. After makeovers, thanks to the Primpers (retirement living residents), the women had individual photos taken and enjoyed dinner and entertainment.

Men had a party of their own with pizza and beer. Thanks to all the staff, residents from across campus and volunteers, including members of Rainbow Girls, Brothers of the Trowel, Masonic lodges and Order of the Eastern Star chapters, who made both events extra special!

(L-R) Alice Weigel; Adelia Torrence; Ann Beck, recreation director; and Evelyn Bonney
