Choose Your Attitude
by Kim Majick
At our next corporate quarterly meeting we are going to hear about the "Fish Concept". This concept is based upon a fish market in Seattle. The guys working in the market had a tough job. They worked in a smelly, dirty environment where they had to clean, prepare and sell fish to customers. You can imagine that this would be hard work to do! BUT...if you visited this fish market you would never know how "tough" their jobs were. These guys had a blast. Customers lined the streets of the market to watch their "performance" daily. They were fun and engaging. The reason for this is they recognized the first step to creating a positive work environment was to "Choose Your Attitude". They realized that they might not be able to choose their hours, or even the type of work that they did. But they could choose the way in which they did their work and carried themselves through the day. They chose to have fun! To make the most of their day. To help their co workers and serve their customers. To be respectful and gracious. We too can CHOOSE OUR ATTITUDE! |

Don’t worry…. Be savvy.
Part 3: Plan your course
David Eppers
First we identified the need to know where you are financially, then last month we set your financial target. This month we wrap up our three part series by connecting where you are with where you want to be. It’s time to plan the course and work the plan.
On the journey from where we are to where we want to be, remember to simply use common sense. First identify what needs to change. Whether your objective is to buy a house, pay down a mortgage, or build your savings, you need to look at what needs to be different.
Next, specifically identify what you can change now, today.
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” -Confucius
It is better to take a small step today, even if you have to quicken the pace further down the road, than to plan to start later. Take a tortoise approach over that of a hare. I’m not saying you shouldn’t make a drastic change. Again, use common sense. If a drastic change is what you need, do it. However, if a drastic change is not something that you can do right now, then do something less extreme, but by all means do something!
Once you have all of the difference between where you are now and where you want to be identified, and you have begun making changes, be encouraged. You have just accomplished the most difficult phase, getting started.
As you work your plan you will notice changes. Where you want to be financially may change. Where you are will definitely change. Continue to adjust both your financial target and your plan accordingly along the way.
It never pays to worry about your finances or anything else for that matter. “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” – Book of Matthew Hopefully at this point you have replaced worrying with action

 Colorectal Cancer
by Dr. Gendelman
Colorectal cancer should be a disease of the past. 150,000 cases are diagnosed each year.
Unfortunately, the majority of the cases could have been treated early with an easy detection procedure called a colonoscopy.
Everybody should have one by the time they are 50, or sooner if they have a family member with the cancer. The colonoscopy itself is easy because you are sedated. The night before you do have a lot of bowel movements to get cleaned out for the physician to get a good look. But there is no pain. There are usually no symptoms of the cancer until it is too large, so routine colonoscopy is your only choice.
Do not die of colon cancer, get a colonoscopy. |

Caregiving
By Martie Gregory, LPN
Barrington of Ft. Thomas
With hair of silver and skin so pale,
She was elderly and looking very frail.
Holding her can, she tried to stand,
I reached out and offered my hand.
Looking up with a smile on her face,
We started to walk at a very slow pace.
It made my heart full with a feeling of pride,
Being able to help her and be at her side.
We entered her room, I helped her to sit,
Her feet were so swollen the shoes did not fit.
Helping with a drink and a pill for her pain,
Sitting by her side, we listened to the rain.
Listening to her talk about the love of her life,
With a tear on her face, how he made her his wife.
How thankful she was for the time that she's had,
Made me feel good, yet made me feel sad.
Helping her lie down to sleep in her bed,
A blanket for warmth and a pillow for her head.
Touching her hand to assure I'd be there,
Thank you she said, for your kind loving care.
To make her feel safe, rewarded my heart,
I could go home feeling I did my part.
Being a Caregiver gives my life a lift,
Being a Caregiver is a wonderful gift.
Congratulations to Martie Gregory! She will receive a $25 gift card to Target.

Meet your Carespring Staff!
Accounting Department
Name: PATTY LEA
Title: Accounts Payable Coordinator
Hi, my name is Patty Lea, and I have been in the Accounts Payable Dept. with Carespring since September 4th 2000. Although you might say my roots with the Carespring family run much deeper than that. For the most part, all of my family members work throughout our Carespring facilities.
It all started with the Eastgate facility, where some of you might know my sisters, Cheryl Fox and Becky Pyles. My niece Tammy Wade and her daughter Kendra Wade are also employed at Eastgate, my daughter Amber, son Kyle and late brother in law John Fox have also worked for Eastgate in the past. I have a niece Shellie Fluehr who works at our Highlands facility, and Scott and Julie Bingamon (niece and her husband) who are currently working out of the Carespring corporate office with me, so as you can see my roots run quite deep within the Carespring Family.
I am married to a wonderful man named David. We have been married for 24 ½ years and he is my best friend. We have two amazing children. Amber, age 23, just recently gave birth to her first child and our first beautiful granddaughter who is now 9 ½ months old. Her name is Taylor Lea Bowling, and those of you who do know me know that she is the apple of my eye. My son Kyle is 18, he will be graduating this year from Grant Vocational.
Now that our children are grown, my husband and I spend most of our weekends traveling. We have purchased a motor home, rail buggy and two quads and hit the open trails every chance we get, and spend as much time with our grand daughter as we possibly can, I feel I have been blessed in life to have such a wonderful family.
I love my job and the people I work with. I feel that is very important to be happy with your career, you are with the people you work with more than your own family. I plan on retiring from Carespring, then trade my motor home for a much larger one, and travel around the United States.
Name: Teresa Tenkman.
Title: Accounts Payable Clerk
I started at the Carespring Corporate office on March 14, 2005. My responsibilities include accounts payables for Heritagespring, Shawneespring and the corporate office. On a daily basis, I update the cash files. I prepare monthly journal entries and I am responsible for the bank reconciliations for all the facilities. The thing I like most about Carespring is the people. They are very talented and have much knowledge and skills and are just a fun group of people.
I have two daughters, Steph and Emily. Emily, 8 years old, is a third grader at Little Flower School. Steph, 16 years old, is a senior at McAuley High School. With friends, volleyball, and basketball, the girls keep me very busy. There is always a need for family time so what better than a Caribbean Cruise. We are leaving Sunday, July 23rd, to visit St. Thomas, Dominica, Aruba, and Barbados on the Carnival Cruise Line. Don’t everybody get jealous now.
My hobbies consist of reading, softball, volleyball, and lots of shopping. Yes, I still play softball or should I say try to play softball. I play in a girl’s league at Dunham on Monday nights and a co-rec league on Sunday nights at Oakley. I have been playing for over thirty years with the same group of friends. In our older years we don’t move as well and get hurt easier, but we still enjoy ourselves.
In the winter months, I sub for my sister’s volleyball team. I am the youngster on the team, considering the people on her team are 50 and over. They are going to the Senior Olympics in the future and to prepare they play in a league at the Western Sports mall. For the past three years, they have competed in the Huntsman World Senior games (the 50 and over division) in St George, Utah.
My short term goal is to continue to work diligently and to learn more. I would like to continue to assist and broaden my help in the general accounting area of the monthly close. In the future, my goal is to receive a degree as a Physical Therapy Assistant and possibly work with the elderly in long-term care.

 Why Do You Care to Learn?
by Debbie Berling
Let us look at what happens to us every day as we learn. We mature, teach others and make decisions. Can you imagine yourself waking up one day and knowing that you will never learn again? How will you mature? How will you fix or resolve problems? What happens if you do not learn from your mistakes? How will you grow? What will happen to your dreams? What will happen to people around you when you can not guide them with ideas or life questions?
There are several ways to learn: life experiences, informal and formal learning.
Carespring is there for you. You have the ability to add to your knowledge in several areas of our field which can affect several areas of your life. Care2Learn, (aka CarespringUniversity), has so much information that can assist you in your growth as a care giver and as a person.
The more you learn about care giving, abuse prevention, social work, behaviors, first aide and more, the more you can assist others and yourself.
I believe that once you begin that active learning you want to learn more. A little isn’t enough. TRY IT and be the one to get someone motivated.
The MORE you learn the MORE you grow!
Check out our “CarespringUniversity”. See what you don’t know.

 Compliance Corner
by Cathy Hamblen
Did you know that E-mails are discoverable documents?
We are now in the age when email has become one of our primary meals of communication. It is important to remember that these messages whether accurate or not are subject to legal scrutiny and can be used against us in a legal action.
When the government is involved investigations (ie. FBI or OIG) one of the first actions they could do is seize our computers to look for documents – this would include our email.
Those that use email, need to understand what should or should not be communicated.
A – Keep the address list short as possible
B – Before hitting the SEND – double check who you are sending it to - be sure it is to the right person
C – Think about the Content of your email – even the subject line.
- Keep it short as possible
- Don’t use judgment statements “I know this is wrong” ; “I know that is a violation”
- Approach subjects hypothetically – “is it OK to ..” or “can you help me understand…”
- If information is sensitive call the person or discuss in person
- If information is being sent outside of Carespring network it cannot contain any resident name or medical information without being password protected.
- Re-read your message- what would you change if you knew it would be on the front page of the paper tomorrow?
D – Remember deleting an email doesn’t mean it is gone – it can still be retrieved by the computer technologists. |

 Safe Grilling Tips
by Beth Lind, R.D., L.D.
- Marinate foods in the refrigerator, not on the counter or outdoors. If some of the marinade is to be used as a sauce on the cooked food, reserve a portion separately before adding the raw meat, poultry, or seafood. Don’t reuse marinade.
- Don’t use the same platter and utensils that previously held raw meat or seafood to serve cooked meats and seafood.
- If you partially cook food in the microwave, over, or stove to reduce grilling time, do so immediately before the food goes on the hot grill.
- When it’s time to cook the food, cook it thoroughly. Use a food thermometer to be sure the food has reached an adequate internal temperature before serving.
- Beef, veal, and lamb steaks and roasts – 145 degrees F for medium rare, 160 degrees F for medium, and 170 degrees for well done.
- Ground pork and ground beef – 160 degrees F
- Ground poultry – 165 degrees F
- Poultry breasts – 170 degrees F
- Whole poultry (take measurements in the thigh) – 180 degrees F
- Fin fish – 145 degrees F or until the flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork.
- Shrimp, lobster, and crabs – the meat should be pearly and opaque
- Clams, oysters, and mussels – until the shells are open.
- Grilled food can be kept hot until served by moving it to the side of the grill rack, just away from the coals where it can overcook.
