INGLEWOOD HERALD October 2002

	Preventing Influenza Outbreak at Inglewood
	The importance of preventing flue outbreaks cannot be overstated. While the disease is self-limiting, typically lasting 1-2 days, it is highly contagious. In addition to the more common clinical symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea with headache, fever, muscle and abdominal pain, it may cause dehydration and complicate existing medical conditions among the elderly and those with suppressed immune systems. OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE: Annual flu shot clinics are open to anyone working, living or visiting facilities on a regular basis ( clinic dates will be posted) Promoting good hand washing and careful personal hygiene SHOULD AN OUT BREAK OCCUR: Control the outbreak in this facility and limit further spread between residents as possible Prevent the spread of disease out of the facility, both to the public and other institutions by restricting staff and visitors not vaccinated.
	We’re Asking You?
	At the end of September Dietary Services will be conducting a resident satisfaction survey of the Terrace, Lodge and Manor to look at our meal service here at Inglewood. This two-page audit will be given to a representative number of residents on each unit to determine whether we are meeting quality standards in the areas of variety, taste, and service. We will report our findings…   A WORD OF THANKS Our inaugural fundraising event for the Foundation for Excellence in Seniors Care on Saturday September 7 at Mahon Park in North Vancouver netted approximately $2500.00 The foundation board would like to extend their thanks to Inglewood employees, residents and their families for their effort in making this event a success. Funds from this event will go to help build the reputation of the foundation within the community and assist it in pursuing its goals. Tax receipts will be mailed out before year end.   Internship at Inglewood Two new interns have joined the Inglewood team. Meet Shelly Goodwin, the new social worker, who will be spending 2 days a week till February. She is part of the University of Victoria's distance education social work program. Next meet Sonia Landry, a music therapy intern, beginning in October she will be spending 2 or 3 days a week till next summer. This is her last practicum before she completes her degree from Capilano College.   Annual Bazaar & Tea Its that time of the year again! Yes the Residents Council is asking that you mark Friday November 29th on your calendars for this year’s Bazaar and Tea. Tables will be laden with crafts, baking, poinsettias, and the ever-popular “Bottle-draw”. Some unusual stockings will be hung on our chimney this year. “Care-Steps”, slip-resistant stockings just may be the perfect gift for toddlers or adults. The Bazaar will run from 12-4PM and the Tea Room, hosting Helen Semiens on Harp, will open at 1:00PM. All proceeds go to the Inglewood Residents Council. Bottles, Bottles, Bottles The residents Council is looking for bottle donations for our famous Bottle Draw. These bottles can be of any size, any shape and contain almost anything –perfume, candles, wine, fruit juice, preserves, bath salts, you get the idea.
