Textbooks and Common Sense

Successul nursing homes arenot an easy task. Every or-ganization must be managed well

in order to operate eciently and

economically and it takes a num-

ber o players to make this hap-

pen. When operations are work-

ing properly, continuous quality

improvement is utilized by all team players. It is a

management approach that builds employee inter-re-

lationships through work teams. Ituses employee knowledge as well

as their time, eort, and skill. It

is based on trust, communication,

and mutual respect among employ-

ees and all levels o management.

Well-run organizations use at least

a ew proven unctions that provide a ramework or their

success. Planning is the most oten thought o term

whereby the objectives are born. Short term and long

term goals are needed. The goals are the end objec-

tive toward which all eorts are directed. We must con-stantly look at how our long and short-term strategies are

holding up by asking the ollowing questions. What does

our playing eld look like now? What is our competi-

tion doing? What have we been up to? Whats around

the corner? And lastly, whats our next winning move?

I executive management can answer these questions

quickly and always monitor their progress, they are on

the right path.

As always, a well-run organization is only as good as

its employees. Poor employees will lead to disaster

Good employees will result in repeat admissions and

higher customer satisaction! While our Hye Doun

newsletter talks mainly about our residents and the

rst rate services they enjoy, the ruits they receive are

through the eorts o our employees. The ANRCs sta

is constantly monitored or decent business practice

This involves business etiquette.Most all o our employees have a

certain job skill they can do in their

sleep. However, what is sometimes

more important is the people

skills they do their jobs with. Act-

ing with sincerity, consideration

respect, and honesty, our employees are constantly

reminded that the principles that guide proper busi-

ness etiquette aid in helping the Homes administration

to achieve their planned goals. Just as we watched

the Olympians ervently compete or their medals, ourcompany must use the same approach when assisting

our residents, amilies, and riends.

This edition o the Hye Doun is ull o many columns

rom our employees that have risen to the occasion and

have made our nursing home a great place to work.

hope you enjoy them all and as always, be well! q

Health Care


Iwould like to share with you an article I read about high

blood pressure. High blood pressure (also known as hy-pertension) aects about 65 million Americans, or about 1in 3 adults. There are many potential causes o hyperten-sion, but not necessarily any symptoms. In act, 30% othe people who have high blood pressure do not even real-ize it. In other words, just because you do not have symp-toms does not mean you do not have high blood pressure.That is why it is called The Silent Killer; it is very danger-ous. It is the number one modiable cause o stroke by35 to 40 percent. Other conditions stemming rom highblood pressure can be heart attack and heart ailure andcan be blamed or 25 to 50 percent o heart conditions re-spectively. Changing blood pressure numbers depends in

a large part on the choices we make every dayhow muchwe exercise, the oods we eat, and our liestyle overall.

Blood pressure is divided into two parts, systolic and dia-stolic. Systolic is the pressure o the heart beating. Dia-stolic is the pressure o the heart and vessels lling. Whenblood pressure numbers are written out, like 120/80,120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pres-sure. The unit o measurement or blood pressure is mil-limeters o mercury.

A persons blood pressure can naturally vary throughoutthe dayeven between heartbeats. However, i the num-bers are consistently high (over 120 systolic and 80 dia-

stolic) you may have either pre-hypertension or high bloodpressure.Young arteries and arteries that are kept young through

healthy diet and exercise are typically more elastic andunclogged. Blood fows through them easily and withoutmuch eort. However, as we age, our arteries becomemore prone to plaque buildup (due to diets high in satu-rated at and sedentary liestyles) and do not fex as wellunder pressure. Let untreated over a long period o time,high blood pressure can cause damage to the heart tissue,arteries, kidney and other major organs. To get a betteridea o hypertension, compare your arteries to a gardenhose. When unblocked, a garden hose allows water to

fow through it quickly and easilywithout any real rush orstress. However, i you block the end o the hose with yourthumb, closing it o even a little, water rushes out morequickly.

The reasons or hypertension are not always clear. How-ever, there are liestyle actors that contribute to high bloodpressure that you can change:

BODY TYPE - Lean body mass (muscle) does not in-crease blood pressure levels the way that at can. How-ever, at body mass, especially at around your midsectioncan contribute to high blood pressure.

High Blood Pressure

SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE Too oten,

many o us sit all day at work, and thensit all night at home. Over time, this in-activity usually leads to weight gain, making the heart workharder to pump blood through the body.

SODIUM INTAKE Sometimes it is hard to believe howmuch salt there is in processed oods. For people witha history o congestive heart ailure, ischemia, and highblood pressure, sodium is a denite no-no! For those in-dividuals, it leads to more water retention increasing bloodpressure. But, or healthy individuals, moderate salt in-take, especially a mixed mineral salt like sea salt or Celticsalt, is ne.

LOW POTASSIUM INTAKE Potassium is a minerawhich most Americans get too little o. Potassium helpsregulate the amount o sodium in our cells. Low levels othis mineral can allow too much sodium to build up in thebody.

HEAVY ALCOHOL INTAKE Having three or more alco-holic drinks a day (two or more or women) nearly doublesan individuals chance o developing high blood pressure.

UNHEALTHY EATING Eating a lot o processed or attyood contributes to high blood pressure. A diet that is richin ruits and vegetables, whole grain products, sh, nutsand magnesium and potassium can bring it back down.

SMOKING I you smoke, stop! Smoking damages the

heart and arteries.The eect o a single cigarette can last or an hour, smok

ing throughout the day leads to continuously revved-upblood pressure.

Some o these actors might sound like a lot to overcomeBut, the important thing to remember is that all o thesebehaviors are changeable! Modiying any o these can signicantly lower your blood pressure and can lead to a bet-ter lie.q

Maggy N. Petrosian, RN, CDP

What is heart-healthy eating? In simple terms, its

about eating less o some oods and more o oth-ers.

Eat a variety o oods: You get a wider range onutrients by eating a variety o oods, including wholegrains, vegetables, ruits, dried beans, legumes, low-atdairy products, poultry and lean meats. You also bal-ance oods that are higher in at and calories with thoselower in at simply by eating more plant-based oods whole grains, ruits, vegetables and legumes.

Fats: The good and the bad: There are our maintypes o at in ood: MonounsaturatedfatUsedinplaceofsaturated

Monounsaturated at is liquid atroom temperature but starts to solidiy in the rerigera-tor. Foods high in monounsaturated at include olive,peanut and canola oils, avocados and most nuts.

Polyunsaturated fat Usedin placeof saturatedat, polyunsaturated at helps lower bad (low-densitylipoprotein, or LDL) cholesterol. However, polyunsatu-rated at is also more susceptible to oxidation, a processthat can speed the buildup o plaques in your arteries(atherosclerosis). Polyunsaturated at is usually liquid

Control cholesterol. Saturated at is the main dietary culprit in raising blood cholesterol levels. Howev-

In the Kitchen with Chef Alan Fass

Some of you may not know mybackground in the Food Serviceindustry, so I hope you can enjoy

this brief biography of my culinary

experiences. I was born and raised

in Brooklyn where I started my food

service career working in the N.Y.C.

public school system on the lower

east side. From there I went to work at Methodist Hospital in

Brooklyn, a 750-bed facility where I became the Head Chef.

Following that postion I went to work at Interboro Hospi-

tal [a 300-bed hospital/nursing home] as the assistant Food

Service Director and then to Kings Highway Hospital [part

of Beth Israel Hospital] as the Food Service Director. We

moved to New Jersey and I became the Executive Chef at

the Summit House Restaurant, a 300-year-old historic build-

ing in Jersey City. After ve years, I left to work for Mar-riott Corp as the General Manager in their Corporate Dining

Services Division. I worked at Western Union Corporate

headquarters feeding 1,750 employees and then moved on to

Block Drug Corporation, feeding 1,250 employees. During

my employment with Marriott, I went for training at the Cu-

linary Institute of America in Hyde Park. I stayed there for

20 years and then came to work for the Armenian Nursing

Rehabilitation Center where I can honesty say this has been

my most rewarding experience! Well, thats a little about

me, now for the recipe. With the summer in full swing, we

should take advantage of the in season fruits & vegetables

available to us, no better than juicy ripe watermelon, and ofcourse our famous Jersey tomatoes!

Tomato-Watermelon Salad with Feta

and Toasted Almonds

8c. 1 inch chunks seedless watermelon [you can use a

combination of red & yellow watermelon]3pds ripe Jersey tomatoes [if you can nd heirloom, all the

better] in assorted colors, cored, and cut into 1 inch chunks

1t [or more] eur de sel [I like Gray Sea Salt] or coarse koshe

salt

5T extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 1/2T red wine vinegar [or any vinegar that you like]

3t chopped assorted fresh herbs [such as dill, basil and mint]

6c fresh Arugula leaves

1c crumbled feta cheese [you can use ricotta salata, if you

like] c sliced almonds, lightly toasted

Combine melon and tomatoes in a large bowl. Sprinkle

with 1t salt and toss gently to blend. Let it stand for 15 minutesto draw out some of the juices. This will become part of thedressing. Add 4T oil, vinegar and herbs to the melon mixture

Season to taste with salt & pepper.

Toss Arugula in medium bowl with the remaining oil. DivideArugula among plates, top with melon salad, sprinkle with feta

cheese and almonds and serve. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

An extraordinary beautiul eld blossomed as Noah camedown rom the peak o Mt. Ararat. This is where he plantedthe rst grape seed.

Grapes are such a cherished ruit or our culture that therst ripe grape is only allowed to be eaten ater it has beenblessed in church. As the Armenian Church blesses thegrape, it is through this grape that it is also blessing theentire produce. The grape has been selected as the cher-

ished ruit because Christ compares himsel to the grapevine stock. Wines are produced rom this grape stock andas Christ was having his last supper, he passes the wine tohis sheppards and said, This is my blood. This is whythe produce is blessed through the grape by the ArmenianChurch.

The blessing o the grape takes place during the holidayo St. Marys transormation. St. Marys earthly lie termina-tion is translated as rising above. The visitation rom the St.Nerses school students has become a wonderul annualtradition or the Armenian Nursing and Rehabilitation Cen-

OBITUARY Edward Bolsetzian, 94

Edward was a longtime board member of the Home, alongwith his late wife, Elizabeth Bolsetzian. Not only was hewas a board member but also was on the picnic committee fordecades. His love for nature led him and his wife to retire inChichester, New York, in the heart of the Catskills, from where

they still commuted to the New Jersey meetings.

Edward was born in Yonkers, New York on February 1, 1914

to Khosrov and Takoohy Boltsetzian of Sepastia. He was a

manufacturing engineer, a draftsman, a precision tool and die

maker and was a lifetime member of the Society of Manufactur-ing Engineers. Young men were sent to him to teach the trade to. At a young age, he also made many inlaid tavloo sets, a sk

learned from his father. In school, he was nicknamed Honest Abe and also Tarzan for his physical strength.

His hobbies were: reading, where he was very knowledgeable about world history; photography, especially of streams, moun

tains, and covered bridges of the Catskills; and he had an obsession for old locomotive trains of which he had a vast collection ophotos that he had taken. People used to think he was Ansel Adams with his 8 x 10 camera set-up on a tripod in the Catskill wildeness! He was also fond of classical music.

Edward was a volunteer for the Catskill Mountain R.R. Company and Museum where he spent his retired weekends working therwith his wife. He was on the local school board where he earned an honorary degree and was also a re commissioner in the tow

of Phoenicia.

In New Jersey, Edward, along with his friend, Jerry Donabedian prepared and cooked all the kebabs for the Home picnics for 2

years.

Edward was certainly a man of action. He stood for strength, honesty, perseverance and loyalty and will surely be missed by all. H

is survived by his sister, Anne Zarookian of the Bronx, nephew, niece, grand nephews, and one great grand nephew.q
