A word from the Administrator…

This seems to have been an exceedingly long,

bleak, cold and snowy winter. I know most of

us will be thrilled when the first bright sunny

warm days arrive. With the advent of spring

and these long awaited sunny days comes re-

newal. This year we will all have to collec-

tively use this spirit of rebirth to look at the

ways we provide care to our residents at Fair-

view and become better at what we do in an

extremely challenging environment that has

been riddled with cuts in our reimbursement.

Medicare is cutting back and covering fewer

services, Medicaid has only increased our

rates by one percent in five years, our hard

working and dedicated employees have had

their wages frozen and we continually ask the

question of how can we do a better job with

fewer resources and when will this end??

Along with our dedicated staff, Fairview has

been blessed with many individuals who have

generously donated time and money to insure

that these severe budget cuts do not negatively

affect our mission. These individuals and cor-

porations are vital to insure our reputation, the

quality of our care and our five- star rating re-

mains intact during these challenging eco-

nomic times.

Please continue to remember us in your

prayers, in your generosity and your kind

words as we struggle forward.

James K. Malloy, Administrator

RESIDENT

FAMILY

MEMBER

MAKES

DONATION

Ellen Phibbs Rosenfeldt has made many donations

to Fairview since her Dad became a resident a few

months ago. She was instrumental in having co-

workers in her office donate several gifts at Christ-

mas time for residents. She has donated gardening

tools to the recreation department for the residents to

use in the newly refurbished greenhouse and in the

new outdoor flower boxes outside the recreation de-

partment. Ellen recently surprised Fairview resi-

dents with a huge box of individual chocolates for

Valentines Day. Ellen is pictured with her dad, Matt

Phibbs.

GRAND LODGE OF CONNECTICUT

COMES THROUGH AGAIN

The Grand Lodge of CT I.O.O.F. made a $3,000.00 do-

nation to the 2009 Fairview annual fund. This was a

matching gift for the first $3,000.00 in annual fund dona-

tions. This is the fourth year the Grand Lodge has made

this commitment to Fairview. The 2009 annual fund

which closed on December 31 raised $18,070.00 thanks

in great measure

to this donation.

All funds were

used to help pay

for the continu-

ing implementa-

tion and upgrade

of the electronic

medical records

system (EMR). Pictured, accepting the check from 2009

FAIRVIEW RESIDENT COUNCIL

HOLDS FUNDRAISER FOR HAITI

Two-hundred dollars was raised by the Fairview

Resident Council in conjunction with the recreation

department to aid victims of the Haiti earthquake.

The council held a raffle for a beautiful gift basket.

The proceeds were donated to the Diocese of Nor-

wich Haitian Ministries. The drawing was February

5 and the winner was Billy Joe Foreman, a resident

of Fellowship Manor. Pictured at the drawing are (L

-R): Fairview residents Alice Martin, Tomi Stanley,

director of recreation, and Frances Vera, Fairview

resident and president of the resident council.

NewportFed MAKES DONATION

The NewportFed Charita-

ble Foundation recently

donated $4,000.00 to help

pay for the installation of

an automatic door

opener. Fairview also

received a $2,000.00

grant from the Chelsea

Groton Bank Foundation

to help with this expense. Thanks to the generosity of

these community minded

businesses Fairview had

enough funds to complete

not only the automatic door

opener, but to also install

another new door leading

into our greenhouse (see

photos). Pictured from

NewportFed are Mary Lou

Lamontagne, Business De-

velopment Officer, and Mil-

dred Dion, VP & Branch

Manager along with Fair-

view director of develop-

ment, David Brown.

FAIRVIEW RESIDENTS ENJOY

NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY

A good time was had by all residents at the recrea-

tion department’s New Year’s Eve party held in the

first floor dining room. Entertainment was provided

by frequent guest guitar player and singer Eva De-

vine. Several family members also attended includ-

ing Skip O’Rourke pictured with his mom, Phyllis.

INTERGENERATIONAL PROGRAMS

IN FULL SWING

Residents and children from the child development

center were entertained by staff members from two

well-known local tourist attractions in January and

February. First, on January 12, a sea-shanty from

the Mystic Seaport played songs and gave the his-

tory of the Sea Shanty - songs sung by sailors in

rhythm with their

work. On Febru-

ary 2, members

of the Mystic

Aquarium were

on hand with dif-

ferent species of

fish and other sea

creatures. Resi-

dents and chil-

dren even got to touch some of the animals. Both of

these programs were made possible by a grant pro-

vided by the Dime Bank. Pictured is Sea Shanty

Brian Keenan. VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Veronica Bacong has been a volunteer at Fair-view for almost 3 years. Besides playing classi-cal music for the residents with her great piano skills, she also helps at part ies, h e l p s run pro-grams in rec rea -tion, and helps on out-trips. V e r o n -ica is a senior at F i t c h H i g h S c h o o l in Groton and is preparing to go to college in the fall. She has received a four-year scholar-ship to the University of Connecticut with aspi-rations of becoming a medical doctor.

INTERGENERATIONAL

READING PROGRAM

Every Tuesday morning children from the child de-

velopment center visit Fairview. They come to lis-

ten to stories read to them by Fairview residents.

This is a great example of how our intergenerational

programs benefit both our older and younger genera-

tions. Pictured is Fairview resident Katherine Mul-

ler reading to some of the children. One of the chil-

dren sitting listening intently is Nathan Mahoney,

son of first shift LPN Karen Mahoney.

Protect Your Loved Ones: Tips for Family Members in Infection

Prevention

Do not visit when you are ill Our residents often have weaker immune systems so are more likely

to catch infections from others.

Do not demand antibiotics for your loved one

Let the healthcare provider decide if antibiotics are needed. Remem-

ber, antibiotics are not always needed. Antibiotic resistance is a grow-

ing problem. Infections can be caused by viruses or bacteria. Antibiot-

ics only work against bacterial infections. Antibiotics cannot cure viral

infections like the common cold, flu and most sore throats. Misusing

antibiotics helps create antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing

Get vaccinated Annual flu shots and pneumonia shots are especially important for

people who spend time with the elderly.

Clean your hands

Use soap and water or alcohol based hand rub when you arrive at

Fairview and when you leave. Wash after coughing, sneezing, blow-

ing your nose or helping your family member. Wash before eating or

helping someone to eat, after using the bathroom or assisting your

loved one after toileting. Frequent and careful hand washing is one of

the best preventative measures that we have against the spread of

germs in our facility. There are alcohol wash dispensers throughout

Fairview and at the main entrance. There are sinks for hand washing

located throughout as well.

VOLUNTEERS ORGANIZE LIBRARY

The Fairview library is a wonderful place to sit and

read. It is also used frequently by residents who take

books back to their rooms. This process has been

made much easier through the help of two volun-

teers, Nancy Jankovich and Dianne O’Connell.

T h r o u g h

their ef-

forts the

books have

been rear-

ranged by

c a t e g o r y

and in al-

phabetical

o r d e r .

Nancy also

plans on periodically taking books to residents who

are unable to leave their room. Pictured in the li-

brary organizing the books are (L-R) Dianne and

Nancy.

LODGE

DONATION

Citizens in two Connecticut towns once again bene-

fited from the generosity of the Stonington Lodge

#26 I.O.O.F. The Groton Social Services agency

along with the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center

both received two complete Christmas dinners for

two needy fami-

lies. The lodge

has been provid-

ing this donation

for the past sev-

eral years. They

also provide two

complete dinners

to both charities

for the Thanksgiv-

ing Holiday. This is one of the many ways in which

the Stonington Lodge gives back to their local com-

munity.

CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS PARTY

AT FAIRVIEW

The Stonington Lodge #26 I.O.O.F. held its fourth

of lodge mem-

bers Charlie and

Anita Beebe, and

their ‘elves,’ a

bright Christmas

was assured for

the 48 children

and their parents

who attended.

Individual spon-

sors made finan-

cial donations so that each child received two pre-

sents plus a stocking full of goodies. Pictured is one

of the children with Santa and his helpers.
