April BaughmanAdministrator

A Letter from the Administrator:Make 2017 A Quality YearWell known author C.S. Lewis once said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” Now that 2017 is here, it’s a good timetoreflectonwhatgoalsyouwanttoaccomplishthisyearandwhatdreams need to be fueled with more hope and motivation. And age should never be a factor!At Leakesville Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, our residents amaze us every day when we learn about past chapters in their lives that are so rich with adventure and fearless determination. Whether long-term or short-term residents, it is our joy and commitment to serve them with not only quality care, but also quality of life experiences that meet their needs, values their past, and honors future potential. One of the ways we do this is through a calendar full of daily activities that range from afternoon socials to movie nights, fun outings to craft time, and much more! Engaging our residents with mental, social, and physical activities fosters a positive outlook to the promise of new adventures, goals, and dreams in 2017.Happy New Year!

From the Desk of the Director of Nursing:Be Successful With New Year’s Resolutions ChancesareyouhavemadealistofNewYear’sresolutionsthataffectvarious areas of your life. According to statisticbrain.com, here is a Top 10 list of common resolutions made each year: 1) Lose weight; 2) Get organized;3)Spendless,savemore;4)Enjoylifetothefullest;5)Stayfit and healthy; 6) Learn something exciting; 7) Quit smoking; 8) Help others in their dreams; 9) Fall in love; and 10) Spend more time with family.Did you know that out of the 45 percent of Americans that make resolutions,

only eight percent are successful in achieving what they set out to accomplish? There’s a secret behind the success. Keep your list simple and achievable. Instead of a large bucket list, jot down only a handful of realistic goals that can survive a 365-day journey.Of course, it’s no surprise health occupies three spots in this list and there’s certainly good reason: You’re worth it! You have been given one body so it’s critically important to value your life and treat it well.Maybeit’stimetofinallymakeanappointmentforthatmedicalcheckupyou’vebeenputtingoff,or maybe it’s time to tackle the depression you can’t seem the shake. Remember,theconditionofyourphysicalandmentalhealthaffectseveryareaofyourlife:relationships,employment,education,financesandmore.May2017beyourhealthiestyear!
