A partnership between the Town of Quispamsis, families of Squire Drive,

Kings Way Assembly and Kings Way Care Centre bring cheer to both

the children in the community and our residents who enjoy watching the

children at Play.

‘It’s part of our philosophy to have kids and elders together, building

inter-generational relationships”, said Judy Lane, adding they also want to

help kids stay active and healthy.

Despite the inclement weather we had a good turnout for the official

opening of the Squire Drive playground and BBQ

The Eden Alternative - It Can Be Different

Happy Summer!! Here is a little tidbit of information on our next Principle to read

while you enjoy this beautiful weather!

The Eden Alternative Principle #7

Medical treatment should be the servant of genuine human caring, never its master.

In Eden homes, we recognize that all people are creative, resourceful and whole. In order for

people to live their best life, there must be a holistic view of well being. Emotional, spiritual, and

intellectual health, as well as relationships, support and are supported by physical health. By

deeply knowing the whole person, as discussed in Principle #3, we can honour Principle #7.

When we know each other well and place genuine human caring ahead of treatment, the Elder's

needs become the center of our processes and practices.

Residents daily life does not, or should not, revolve around treatment and medication schedules.

Instead it should focus on fun, living life, spontaneity, growth and friendships. This is where

pets, plants and children can enhance health outcomes!

Some ways we can practice Principle #7 in our homes is to continue to replace Institutional

language with more community friendly language; help staff understand the difference between

"care" and "treatment"; and to remove traditional nurses stations from the homes!! Our homes

have many examples of how we are demonstrating Principle #7 but there are still things we can

do to improve on it. We have to set aside preconceived notions about the capacity of an Elder to

express their desires. When we are open to really hearing and sensing their needs we can respond

to those unmet needs before we add medications and treatments.

Always remember to put the person first and the disease or different ability second.

This opens the door to all kinds of new ways to provide medical services while

focusing on the wholeness of the entire person.

Tribute Cards

Tribute Cards are an attractive and efficient way to send caring messages to family and friends, and at the same time support our Foundation. A lovely, personalized message printed on a special card is sent to the recipient, and a tax receipt is issued for your kind donation,

for a minimum donation of $10.00.

For more information please visit our website or call the Foundation office at 847-1131,

ext. 1124.

Health Care for Seniors

We are very excited to announce that Kennebec Manor and Kings Way Care Centre have been chosen to participate in a provincial initiative to ensure the appropriate use of anti-psychotic medication in residents living with dementia. The initiative is sponsored through the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement and the New Brunswick Association of Nursing homes. There has been more research into the area of antipsychotic medication in persons with behaviours secondary to dementia. The research indicates antipsychotic medications may not be the best choice for persons with dementia who do not have

a previous psychiatric history.

We will be starting to assess residents who are on antipsychotics to ensure these medications are contrib-uting to the best quality of life. It is part of a structured plan and each resident will be evaluated. We will be starting slowly with one Neighborhood and each resident will be assessed. Families and care staff will be involved in the process. This includes additional education on medications and strategies for helping

residents who may have their medications changed.

The medical team will of course be involved. The additional Team members are Tammy Allaby, Cindi Gould,

Jane Logan, Gillian Miller and Megan O'Hara. Kennebecasis Drugs will be supporting us as well.

Pastor’s Corner

God gives us smiles to be like warming sunshine to others; and praise to be like refreshing rain. When we smile, we bring joy and lift up heavy hearts; and when we give words of praise, we rain down blessings on others. We have no control over the weather, but we do have the power to bless others with our own brand of sunshine

and rain. “A cheerful look brings joy to the heart.” (Proverbs 15:30)
