Assisted Living Update

by Therese Brown, Assisted Living Director Assisted Living continues its commitment to maintaining the independence of its residents by offering assistance suited to meet a variety of needs. Our pricing structure has recently changed to reect that philosophy. The new structure offers Level 2 and Level 3 pricing as well as several packages and ancillary services options. Residents will now only be charged for the services that are rendered. With the addition of at screen TVs in both Heritage Court and Brandel Hall, activities programming has expanded. The televisions can be connected to the internet for explorations of almost any topic of interest. The Amazing Grays continue their wonderful contributions via reading groups, sing-a-longs, ower arranging and one on one visitation. In Brandel Hall, the daily lunch options have expanded to include a left side of the menu. Residents are able to enjoy a h a m b u r g e r, cheeseburger, Caesar salad, fruit plate or even macaroni and cheese as an alternative to the regular menu. Guests are welcome any time in our dining room. We enjoy visitors, so please do not be shy and come join us! One of my goals this year has been to expand our networks with like organizations in the community. Toward that end, we have welcomed three interns from SBCCs Skills for Healthy Aging Resources and Programs (SHARP). These students are working on a certication in gerontology and are completing the practicum requirements of their curriculum at The Samarkand. Please offer a warm welcome to Felicia Price, Susan Dickinson and Katerina Zamyatina. In addition, we have a rotating group of interns from SBCCs Vocational Nursing Program. Two interns split their time between the Wellness Clinic and the AL Charge Nurses ofce on Thursdays.

Greetings from Executive Director
Paul Peterson
The newsletter staff would like to introduce to you the rst edition of the new Sam News. As you go through the newsletter we hope you are pleased with the new graphic design, digital format, and a number of new articles. Our desire is to deliver to the reader a newsletter that is lled with content that is familiar and pertinent to community life. As I reported to residents at the October 4th Resident Council meeting, the long awaited permit for the LifeCenter was issued by the City of Santa Barbara Building Department. With the permit in hand, the process of constructing the new two-story building begins in the month of November with the demolition of the Maintenance Garage. Once the three week demolition and removal process is complete, we will gather for a Ground Breaking Ceremony. Details about the ceremony will be conveyed to residents when they become available. So, for all the sidewalk superintendents, lets get ready to observe the approximately 14 month construction of the new LifeCenter. I look forward to us cutting the ribbon to our new building.

When Signy was eleven, they moved to Pasadena. As Signy told me, it was the second time her mother had moved to a place she'd never visited or seen. But she was a brave woman. Signy graduated from high school, attended Pasadena City College and graduated in Psychology from Hayward State. She worked with the Department of Human Resources in the California Employment Development Department helping welfare recipients get ready for jobs.In 1985, she got her Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Azusa Pacic and worked with drug addicts and alcoholics in their hopes for recovery. Signy has two children.Her son is studying at Berkeley, working on his PhD in Russian Literature. Her daughter and husband are both missionaries in Bolivia. He teaches theology and she keeps books and cares for their two children, a girl, Soa, and a boy, Andres.Signy was present for Soas birth in Buenos Aries and went to La Paz for the birth of Andres. Signy rst came to The Samarkand with Carol Luce.She visited her brother, Phil, saw how lovely the campus was. She said she felt God was preparing me for a move. Soon after that, the owner of her apartment gave her notice that she was to leave and she was ready to move. Signy has many interests and will be a great addition to The Samarkand. She attended the Menlo Park Presbyterian Church where she was a deacon and led Bible study. She loves to read, go to movies, she is already playing bridge and is in a water color class. She has done needlepoint and knitting. She says, I thank God and Jesus Christ for being the Lord of my life. We are so glad you chose to come to The Samarkand, Signy!

Hanna enjoys classical music, particularly chamber and bel canto. She is interested in architecture, interior design, textiles, birding and gardening. Hanna met her husband, William Anderson Foraker, called Andy, in 1977 when Andy was in law practice in Chico, California. Andy rejoined Exxon (formerly Humble Oil & Rening) in 1982. Exxon moved the Forakers to Midland, Texas (a city Hanna calls the capital of tumbleweeds,) to Oklahoma City, to Denver, and back to Midland until retirement in 1993. They moved to Semiahmoo Resort in Blaine, Washington in 2006. Andy died there on September 8, 2011. They had 32 years of what Hanna calls a perfect marriage. Andy had three boys who live in Northern California Mountain View, Davis and San Francisco. Hanna has a daughter in Denver and a son in Santa Fe, NM.

I had rst met Hanna on the road while coming up from Oak Park as she was walking her beloved wire-haired dachshund dog, Miss Annie, now 14 years old. It was then that I knew I was in for an interesting conversation. Hanna and Miss Annie moved to The Samarkand in June of this year, but it was not until early September that she was able to move into her renovated apartment in Southview 4007. She calls her spot there which looks out on a forested area on one side and a small area suitable for gardening on the other side, as a little bit of heaven. She says that living at The Samarkand is a privilege and she is very grateful to be here. It is not surprising that she chose The Samarkand, for she is the third generation in her family to call The Samarkand home. Dr. Harrison Ray Anderson, a cousin of her mother-in-law, who had been

From the Health Care Administrator's Desk
By Dwayne Gabrielson Some of you have heard this quote by Helen Keller. You will remember she was blind, and you would think that might limit how she lived her life. This is the quote: I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something; I will not refuse to do something I can do. We know many of you come and help as part of the Amazing Grays and for that we give thanks every day. I know many of you may have limitations, too, but what more could you do? Do any of you have friends that live in the Smith Health Center? How much do you think they would appreciate your visit? There is nothing more pleasing than to have someone you know come and personally visit with you. There is nothing more rewarding than to give of yourself to others. The scripture says, No one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or elds for me and the gospel will fail to receive 100 times as much in the present age. (Mark 10: 29, 30) So how much are you willing to give to make sure our residents get the best visitors in any nursing facility in the City of Santa Barbara? Think about what you can do and we look forward to seeing you at Smith.

Gratitude
by Chaplain Sherry Peterson As we enter a new season and new newsletter format, I offer a prayer that has been meaningful to me. The risen, living Christ calls me by my name; Comes to the loneliness within me; Heals that which is wounded in me; Comforts that which grieves in me; Seeks for that which is lost within me; Releases me from that which has dominion over me; Cleanses me of that which does not belong to me; Renews that which feels drained within me; Awakens that which is asleep in me; Names that which is formless within me; Empowers that which is newborn within me; Consecrates and guides that which is strong within me; Restores me to this world which needs me; Reaches out in endless love to others through me. ~ Flora Slosson Wuellner, from Prayer, Fear, and our Powers, Upper Room Books, 1989. All that I am, all that I shall be, and all that I cannot yet even imagine, I offer to You.Fill me with your goodness and mercy and light, so that wherever I tread, You are seen. In this season of Gratitude and Thanksgiving, meet us along the way. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Dining Services Update

by Phil Levere, Director of Dining Services The Dining Services Department extends a warm welcome to our New Executive Chef, Jeff Guettler, who joined us in late August. Jeff's most recent experience was as Executive Chef of Dining Services at Sacramento State University. We look forward to Jeff's efforts in making continuous improvement in our dining program across the campus and in helping to plan for the new LifeCenter dining venue. There is also exciting news in the Healthcare segment of Dining Services. We have recently upgraded several pieces of equipment, providing the kitchen staff there with a new and reliable stove-top and grill, as well as a state-of-the-art oven. The majority of the food prepared for residents throughout Brandel Hall, Heritage Court, and the Smith Health Center are now being prepared in the kitchen underneath the Smith HealthCenter.

Operation Christmas Child Update

By Bess DeWitt The plan for packing our shoeboxes is now complete! Paul Peterson has graciously allowed us the use of an empty apartment again this year. Pam Bigelow has selected unit C-897 that is street level and should be convenient for everyone. PLEASE COME HELP PACK THE CHRISTMAS BOXES Where: Unit C-897 When: Thursday 11/15 10 12 noon Friday 11/16 10 12 noon Did you know? The concept of Operation Christmas Child began in October of 1990 when a Welsh couple was watching a broadcast about Romanian orphanages. They knew they could not stop the wars, but they could offer something the gift of love. Together, they lled a convoy of nine trucks with medical supplies, food, clothing and Christmas gifts for children, and headed into Romania, which had recently been devastated by war. This was the beginning of the worlds largest childrens Christmas program. In 1993, Franklin Graham, International President of Samaritans Purse, adopted Operation Christmas Child. Please call Bess if you have a question - 898-7972.
