A Note from the Executive Director TELEVISION, TELEPHONE, INTERNET CHANGE

The Why First, for those of you who are new to the community or who haven’t been in the Facilities Committee meetings or RAC meetings the last year or so, I offer a little backstory.

When this community was built, all of our television, phone and Internet was designed to run off of one network. If there were only 30 Members and a much smaller administrative staff, this design could have worked long term. With each new Member addition and new staff addition using another computer, another television, downloading another video, etc., etc., all off the same network, fully utilizing any of these services has become a bit of a mess. Judging by the work orders we get for TV and phone, all of you have probably experienced this firsthand at some point.

On top of this, we’ve been using the DirecTV MFH3 program for our television services at Cascades. While there have certainly been glitches in this system similar to what anyone experiences with DirecTV, we’ve also had problems / delays because of DirecTV’s dwindling support of this particular program service. Getting receivers in the last six months, even when ordered months in advance for a dwelling, have often been late on delivery. This is largely in part to DirecTV’s ratcheting down the manufacturing of them in preparation for the end of the MFH3 offering. (I apologize for all the prepositional phrases in that last sentence.)

In the last week, we learned that DirecTV would no longer be supporting this product from a technology standpoint at the end of June 2014.

That leads us to this:

The Final Solution Starting in August of last year, I tasked the home office with finding us a long-term solution for our increasing television, telephone, and Internet issues. Two meetings with DirecTV were held first, but DirecTV showed little interest in helping us find a solution (mainly due to the apartments). After that, several other companies were engaged in the process of solution finding. In the end, AT&T U-Verse was selected as our new provider and the contract was inked two weeks ago.

Your new television package will be the U-Verse U-200 package. You can find information about this particular channel package on the Internet at U-Verse under the tab “Packages” and channel listings provided at the end of my column. All Members will be provided with a HD Total Home DVR. Members can record up to 4 shows at once and play them back on any of the home receivers.

Members can enhance their package above the U-200 as they wish, adding channels, buying On Demand programs, and adding up to 9 receivers within their home. And yes, U-Verse does

4 | P a g e

have options for people who wish to buy sports stations that feature particular cities or regions (i.e. Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, etc.).

Your phone numbers will remain the same. For those who wish to have them printed in the phonebook (I know this has been an issue in the past), this should occur with the change. Each Member will receive the following with the phone service:

Call Waiting Call Forwarding Preferred Call Forwarding Caller ID Caller ID Deluxe Call Block Anonymous Call Rejection Three Way Calling Unlimited Nationwide Calling Voice Messaging / Voicemail

Each Member will have their own Wireless gateway with Internet speeds at 12Mbps. What this means is Members will no longer experience the slowness, the pixilation and other issues caused by all Members trying to access everything off of our one network. Members can contract for more speed on their own, but 12Mbps is fast. (Example: Movies will play at this download speed.)

For now, that is all the concrete detail I can provide. I will be glad to answer questions when I see you this week, but please know in the weeks ahead I will fill you with more information. As I receive an engineering timeline, I will share it with you. As I receive more information from U-Verse or the home office, I will pass it along to you.

While I know this change doesn’t make DirecTV lovers happy, for the majority it should be a large enhancement over the current phone, TV and Internet experience at Cascades.

That is all I have for now on this subject. More will come later. STORAGE – APARTMENT / VILLA GARAGES I have neglected to address this issue for several months, despite it being a consistent Resident Advisory Council and Facilities Committee issue. In April of last year, the RAC passed a resolution prohibiting storage of items in the covered villa garages. This was adopted into the Member Guide.

I’ve not enforced it simply because of everything else that I’ve had to concentrate on since my arrival. However, the garages do need to remain free of all stored items. Please be sure to keep your parking space free of everything except your automobile. Bicycles should be housed in the provided bicycle racks. Any apartment Members who purchased a golf cart

5 | P a g e

should park it in the provided golf cart area or in their parking space. Thank you for your compliance on this issue. DEMENTIA TRAINING FOR STAFF We will be hosting dementia training on Tuesday of next week for select Members of our staff and the staff from sister community, Summit Hills. Jessica Ferraro (new VP of Training) will be leading the all-day session in our Ballroom. When the course is complete, all attending staff members will be receive a Certified Dementia Practitioner certification through the NCCDP. These seminars will continue throughout the year in order to better train more of our staff on supporting people living with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. INTERIM DIRECTOR OF NURSING – HOUSING Maxine Quinlan joined us this week as our Interim Director of Nursing serving our Skilled Nursing Center. While she is with us (next 30 days), she will be staying onsite in Denton 301. She is a very sweet lady and should make folks on the third floor a very good neighbor.

Maxine is with us to temporarily fill the void left by Deborah Sercey. Deborah was a terrific teammate and staff member. She is also a very excellent nurse. Her resources will be greatly missed by the team and me as she moves into a home health role.

Second interviews are occurring this week to possibly fill her role permanently. PARKING NOTICES Both the RAC and I have addressed the consistent parking of Members in the Great Lawn area. Some Members and some caregivers have honored our wishes and started parking in their garage space or in the space beside each set of villas. In fact, just this week several home health agency workers started helping us out by honoring this rule as well.

We still have some Members who are parking and leaving their car overnight. Our security team will be issuing notices starting this week to each car, as these spaces should be left open at all times for guests and short-term intermittent Member usage.

All for now. Jason

As we age, it is important to evaluate our various health risks and institute preventive measures. Cancer and cardiovascular problems rank high on any risk list and command much of our attention and health care expense. Much less talked about is the risk of falling. Many older adults have the onset of their health decline as a result of an accidental injury or fracture. Many factors contribute to this increasing risk as we age. Less physical strength, slower reflexes, vision impairment, and neurological or orthopedic conditions can limit balance and stability. Falling is a leading cause of injury or death in those over 65 years of age. Twenty four percent of hip fracture patients die within one year of their accident and fifty percent never return to their prior level of activity or independence.

Evaluating your risk: Honestly answering these questions will give some indication of your risk level for falling.

1. Have you slipped, stumbled or fallen in the last six months? 2. Does your worry about falling limit your activities? 3. Have you lost any feeling in your feet or are they painful? 4. Do you take medicines that effect balance or coordination? 5. Is your vision significantly impaired? 6. Are you ever lightheaded when standing up from a chair or the bed? 7. Do you “hold on” to things when walking about? 8. Are you generally less active? 9. Has your gait changed or do you limp?

If you answer YES to any or all of these questions, you need to make appropriate changes in your surroundings, take remedial steps to improve your physical abilities, and consider using some method of support when walking.

Here are some things to consider. 1. Review medical conditions, medications, and vision concerns with the appropriate health providers. 2. Embark on a program of strength and balance enhancement. 3. Wear good shoes 4. Remove tripping hazards around your home, such as loose rugs, and be sure there is adequate lighting, particularly at night. 5. Use assistive devices; walking sticks, canes, walkers, handrails, or grab bars.

6. Wear your call button. You may not be able to move from where you fall. Seniors value moderate exercise and mobility for pleasure and health but it is important to consider the risks involved. We need to do everything we can so that we don’t fall down. Several options are available for mobility assistance. Canes and crutches are recommended when the emphasis is on limiting weight bearing on an injured or painful hip or leg. Walkers are used effectively for those with advanced instability. Walking sticks or staffs are most advantageous for prevention of accidents while actively walking. Hikers have long known that a staff or walking stick is essential when on uneven terrain. Many will credit their stick with saving them from a disastrous fall. A cane is often used for walking but it requires a great deal of arm and wrist strength and is limited in its ability to prevent a fall. Our bodies tend to be top-heavy and if we start to topple over, our weight is mostly over the top of the cane’s support. A walking stick which is grasped at chest height offers much greater stability and recovery from a stumble. You will be amazed at the security you feel with that third balance point. Jack Postle MD

2014 ADVENTURE TRIP #1 MARCH 11th at 8:30am

Kings Mountain National Military Park – Did you know that it is not a civil war park? Did you know that most battles/skirmishes of the

Revolutionary War took place in South Carolina? Learn all about this major battle as described below:

By 1780 the northern campaign of the American Revolutionary War had

been fought to a stalemate, and England turned its military strategy toward the South. The tactic seemed simple: re-establish the southern

royal colonies, march north to join loyalist troops at the Chesapeake Bay, and claim the seaboard. But a sudden battle in the wilderness exposed

the folly of England’s scheme and changed the course of this nation. You will hear and see all the details of this battle.

There is a wonderful visitor center (VC) which includes a 26 minute film, a major exhibit museum, a bookstore and a 1.5 mile paved battlefield trail

with numerous monuments. People with walkers may have difficulty with the trail, but will enjoy the VC.

The Gaffney Premium Outlets include over 60 outlet stores, a food mall, Outback Steakhouse, and the Cracker Barrel restaurant. A listing of the

stores is in the “RSVP” book.

We estimate 3.0 total hours on the road and 2.5 hours each at the park and outlet.

Cascades Hikers

Swamp Rabbit Trail

Challenge

The Cascades Hikers are hiking the 12 mile section of the Swamp Rabbit Trail from Greenville

Technical College to Travelers Rest. We challenge all able members to join us in this activity.

Certificates and prizes will be awarded to all who complete this walk.

The hike will be divided into three sections.

March 18th -- Mile Marker 36.5 – Greenville Technical College, Barton Campus to Main Street,

Downtown Greenville Mile Marker 32.5. Total Distance 4.0 miles.

April 1st -- Mile Marker 28.25 – Route 133 (Dunkin Road/Watkins Bridge Road) to Main Street

Downtown Greenville – Mile Marker 32.5. Total distance 4.25 miles.

April 22nd -- Mile Marker 28.25 – Route 133 (Dunkin Road/Watkins Bridge Road) to Travelers

Rest – Mile Marker 24. Total Distance 4.25 miles.

The Swamp Rabbit Trail, largely based on an old railroad bed, is a paved trail with very few

inclines. No rocks or roots to step over or streams to cross.

The March 18th and April 1st Sections will end on Main Street in downtown Greenville where

we will plan to have lunch. The April 22nd section will end in Travelers Rest where we will eat at

“The Café at Williams Hardware”.

Plan to bring along – good walking shoes, plenty to drink, and some snacks.

All hikers must be physically able to hike the distance. If you have concerns with your ability

to hike, check with Wellness Director, Aleksandra Makuch.

Mark your calendars. There will be specific announcements for each individual hike published

When Molly Commander, matriarch of a powerful

Southern family, dies in a car crash on a dark two-lane

road on the Waccamaw Neck, a chain of events is set in

motion, linking lowcountry life with the clandestine

activities of the third largest bank in the country. From

boardrooms and private clubs in New York and Atlanta

to the lush setting of Pawleys Island and the South

Carolina lowcountry, the main characters in the story,

children of privilege all, come to grips with the

contemporary greed of Wall Street and the complex

responsibilities placed on them by great wealth. In this

30-somethings, coming-of-age story, peopled by

characters who read like old friends, birthright places

Molly's grandson and his close circle at the crossroads

of opposing societal forces. Will they triumph to

emerge as the new generation of leadership that must

Ballroom Floor and Classes: so glad that members have expressed appreciation for larger space

during Strong Legs and Aerobics classes. This past Wednesday we were well into the 20’s for class

attendance in Strong Legs Class and it made a world of difference to not be cramped in a small space.

Independent Swimmers: Please know that we ask for the pool to be reserved exclusively for our

Memory Care members on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-4:30pm for WAVES sessions. Thank you for

understanding.

I am off this Friday as I work the weekend as the Community Manager on duty. Please review

your class choices that day.
