Giving ThanksThe holidays are here, and with it, brings the hustle and bustle of preparing for

all that comes with it.There is a tendency for us to lose sight of the true meaning behind this special time of the year. So before, we begin making lists for turkey dinners, buying 8 days worth of gifts and decorating Christmas trees, we stop to say thank you.

We are truly grateful to all of our families who have chosen to partner with HarborChase of Tamarac in caring for your loved one. We are committed to providing the very best care to not only your loved ones, but also to you. We understand that this is not always an easy choice, so know that we are here for you and again thank you.

Annual Thanksgiving LuncheonPlease join us on Thanksgiving Day for our annual

thanksgiving luncheon at 12:00 pm.The cost is $10.00 per person and we are requesting that RSVP, so we can make

the appropriate arranegemnts for everyone.

Alzheimer’s Awareness MonthAlzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and the most

frequent cause of severe cognitive decline in people over 65 years of age. According to the Alzheimer’s Association 2015 Facts and Figures report, there are more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s and as many as 15 million family caregivers.

Alzheimer’s takes a devastating toll, not just on those with the disease but also on their caregivers.• In 2014, 15.7 million family and friends provided 17.9 billion hours of unpaid

care to those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

• Nearly 60 percent of Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers rate the emotional stress of caregiving as high or very high; about 40 percent suffer from depression.

• Many Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers report they are concerned about maintaining their own health since becoming a caregiver – and they are more likely than caregivers of other older people to say that caregiving made their health worse.

For more information go to www.alz.org

Most of AllThanksgiving Day brings to mind

the blessings in our lives that usually go unnoticed:

a home that surrounds us with comfort and protection;

delicious food, for pleasure in both eating and sharing;

clothes to snuggle up in, books and good

entertainment to expand our minds;

and freedom to worship our God.

Most of all we are thankful for our family and friends,

those treasured people who make our lives extra special.

You are part of that cherished group.

On Thanksgiving, (and every day) we appreciate you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

World Kindness DayThis year, World Kindness day is November 13th. Being

nice not only feels great - it’s great for you! Numerous scientific

studies show that acts of kindness result in significant health

benefits, both physical and mental.

Here are some key points:• A decrease in both the intensity and the awareness of

physical pain can occur.

• Stress-related health problems improve after performing

kind acts.

• Helping can enhance our feelings of joyfulness, emotional

resilience, and vigor, and can reduce the unhealthy sense

of isolation.

• An increased sense of self-worth, greater happiness, and

optimism, as well as a decrease in feelings of helplessness

and depression, is achieved.

All programs are subject to change due to circumstances beyond our control. Thank you for your understanding.© All Rights Reserved • www.MyCorwinCalendar.com • 1-877-CORWIN2

With Thanksgiving approaching, you may be wondering what kind of turkey to buy for your big feast. The choices can be a little confusing. Check this quick guide to learn what the different labels mean:

• Butterball. Despite the name, these turkeys don’t actually have any butter. The turkeys come fresh or frozen. The fresh ones have no added ingredients. The frozen birds are injected in the breast with a solution of vegetable oil, water, salt, emulsifiers, and a preservative. The solution is made to enhance the flavor and provide moisture that is lost during the freezing process.

• Kosher. Kosher turkeys are soaked in cold saltwater even before the feathers are plucked. The process draws

Turkey HistoryThe wild turkey (Meleagris gallopa) is

native to North America and was a staple in the Native American diet. It was imported to Europe in the early part of the 16th century by the Spaniards via Turkey (the country.) It was confused in those early times with the Guinea fowl which also arrived via Turkey, and both birds were called turkeys in those days. When it was assigned its latin name in the 18th century, the name turkey still stuck. Native Americans called it peru with no reference to the country of the same name. The turkey was introduced to the early Pilgrim settlers by the Native American Wampanoag tribe after the Pilgrims arrived in 1620.

Other Ideas and Tips:• Ask questions that require a yes or no answer. For example,

you could say, “Are you tired?” instead of “How do you feel?”

• Limit the number of choices. For example, you could say, “Would you like a hamburger or chicken for dinner?” instead of “What would you like for dinner?”

• Use different words if he or she doesn’t understand what you say the first time. For example, if you ask the person whether he or she is hungry and you don’t get a response, you could say, “Dinner is ready now. Let’s eat.”

• Try not to say, “Don’t you remember?” or “I told you.”

• Use other methods besides speaking to help the person, such as gentle touching to guide him or her.

• Try other ways of spending time together if communication creates problems. For example, offer a fun activity such as a snack or a walk around the neighborhood.

Communication is hard for people with AD because they have trouble remembering things. They may struggle to find words or forget what they want to say. You may feel impatient and wish they could just say what they want, but they can’t. It may help you to know more about common communication problems caused by AD. Once you know more, you’ll have a better sense of how to cope.

What are some communication problems caused by AD?

• Trouble finding the right word when speaking• Problems understanding what words mean• Problems paying attention during long conversations• Loss of train-of-thought when talking• Trouble remembering the steps in common activities,

such as cooking a meal, paying bills, getting dressed, or doing laundry

• Problems blocking out background noises from the radio, TV, telephone calls, or conversations in the room

• Frustration if communication isn’t working• Being very sensitive to touch and to the tone and

loudness of voicesAlso, AD causes some people to get confused about

language. For example, the person might forget or no longer understand English if it was learned as a second language. Instead, he or she might understand and use only the first language learned, such as Spanish.

Speak effectively and encourage communication

• Offer simple, step-by-step instructions.• Repeat instructions and allow more time for a

response. Try not to interrupt.• Don’t talk about the person as if he or she isn’t

there.• Don’t talk down to them as if they cannot

understand.• Hold the person’s hand while you talk.• Be open to the person’s concerns, even if they are

hard to understand.• Let him or her make some decisions and stay

involved.• Be patient with angry outbursts. Remember, it’s

the illness “talking.”• If you become frustrated, take a “timeout” for

yourself.

Here are some examples of what you can say:

• “Let’s try this way,” instead of pointing out mistakes

• “Please do this,” instead of “Don’t do this”

• “Thanks for helping,” even if the results aren’t perfectwww.nia.nih.gov

out the blood and impurities, following Jewish dietary laws. Because they go through both rabbinical and USDA inspections, the birds are very clean. The saltwater soak also makes for a more flavorful bird. Kosher poultry are fed an all-natural diet with no hormones or antibiotics.

• Free-range. These birds are fed an all-natural diet and aren’t confined. Often, the birds eat natural feed that is not organic but is tested for chemical residue. Generally, they have more breast meat, about 50 percent less fat, and a quarter fewer calories than regular turkeys. However, some consumers have found that free-range turkeys are a little tougher. That’s because they are less fatty, so be careful not to overcook them.

• Soy-based Vegetarian “Turkey.” Tofurky is the brand name of a mock-turkey product that serves as a vegetarian alternative to turkey on Thanksgiving or other occasions. Sold as just the roast or complete with vegetarian stuffing, gravy and even a “wishbone.” Although Tofurky brand mock turkeys are the most well-known, several other brands of mock-turkey are available to choose from as well.
