And How About This for Fun?

Here’s the fabulous ladies of Tammy’s Aqua Circuit class, performing for her a finely choreographed water ballet! Look at how much fun they’re having... and getting fit at the same time, too!

Is Spring Really Coming?!

Well, yes it is, but March sure did start out cold! Although we’ve had our share of winter weather lately, we can still be encouraged by the longer days. By March 15, sun-up to sun-down, the day is 11 hours and 54 minutes long. This compares to the shortest day back on December 20 when we had only 8 hours and 57 minutes. That means we’ve picked up almost 3 hours of daylight, and we pick up another 47 minutes by the end of March. Hang in there!

And with Spring Really Coming…

Please remember that our campus-wide speed limit is 19mph, and do use caution driving on the roadways; our Grounds crew will begin Spring clean-up soon and we want all to be safe!

Déjà Vu!

VNA Grief Support Group

The Central NH VNA & Hospice Grief Support group will start up again in April, meeting on Wednesdays from 2—3pm in Woodside’s Maple Room from April 3 through April 24.

They welcome you to join them to learn about the grief process, discuss ways of coping, and gain the support of others in a safe, caring environment.

Grief is a unique experience through which each person finds their own path, yet there are common threads we all may share. Sharing and hearing each other tell our stories can itself be healing. Topics will include how grief affects our bodies, minds, emotions, social life, and spiritual life as well as ideas for good self-care and how to approach difficult times of day or year.

If you’d like to join the group, please call Hank Offinger at 366-1207.

Thank You! YOU make a difference!

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Trip March 1

The recent trip to Squam Lakes Natural Science Center for the organization’s Winter Bird Banding program was a lot of fun. This popular event gives partici-pants a chance to see wild birds up close and to learn why and how the Science Center captures, bands, and releases birds that gather at the winter feeding stations.

Through spectacular wild animal exhib-its, natural science education programs, an informational public garden, and lake cruises, Squam Lakes Natural Science Center has brought people Nearer to Nature since 1966.

The Mission of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is to advance under-standing of ecology by exploring New Hampshire’s natural world.

Aviation Museum of New Hampshire March 8

This was a fun, informative trip, with particular significance for both Back Bay Resident Barbara Wood and the Museum. During the visit, Barbara donated the “tie-down” anchor used to secure Charles Lindbergh’s plane when he landed in Concord, NH on July 25, 1927. The anchor had belonged to her husband Win’s mother. Museum curators were thrilled

with this new addition to their collection.

And have a look at left, at the fun “NEW” Taylor Gazette created by Resident Elaine Gumpp. A great picture of Charlotte as Amelia, and quite clever!

Progress update! Well it is true what they say about time flying when you’re having fun… but here we are and it’s March 13th already!

As is plainly evident, Larry and Bob from Bolstridge Logging are having fun with their really large equipment (as my wife calls them… our big boy toys), but in reality, these

large monstrosities make quick work of taking down the largest of trees.

Bolstridge Logging is doing a bang up job harvesting the Taylor forest so far, and in total we have shipped 27 truckloads of bio-mass chips, pine and hardwood logs to date.

The operation began with the 3-acre lot that will become the location for our six new cottages (see Cathy Landroche’s pictures), and has since moved out to the back of Woodside. In order to be efficient, a wide trail through the woods has been created that is being used as the skid trail. This allows the whole tree to be dragged back to the log landing where it is processed and sorted by quality and species.

Monday, April 1 11am—1:30pm

Woodside

Please let us know that you plan to attend by contacting Brenda Kean by

Thursday, March 28

[email protected]

or 366-1226

We currently estimate that we have another three weeks of work before the operation will be complete, but this is dependent on weather and such. Later this spring or early summer, we will clear the main trail and evaluate the woodlot for new trails and additional recreational activities.

Craig from Nutter Enterprises has informed us that he intends to move his large excavator to the site the week of 3/18 so he can begin the work of stumping the 3-acre lot. Now things will get really busy! Craig will be using the stumps for erosion control, so the stumps will actually be removed from the ground, shaken to get the dirt off, and then ground up on site!

A couple of targets:

We are still waiting on construction permits, so actual site work will commence April 1 or later.

Completion expected for all cottages by 12/31

Woodside Pavilion construction to start approximately 5/13/19

Garden boxes to be moved by Grounds dept. and set up behind Woodside by end of April for the growing season

With all this exciting work on campus, I must ask for everyone’s cooperation:

The woods around Woodside remain OFF LIMITS until the completion of logging activity.

The 3-acre construction site will remain OFF LIMITS until further notice.

Please be aware of the trucking activity on campus and drive safely and SLOWLY near the work area.

Parking will remain difficult until Fall when we will near completion of construction… please make use of the rear entrance to Woodside as often as you can.

Direct any questions or concerns to me at 366-1214.

Come on Spring!!

~ Charlene Santoro Director of Health Services

Staff Spotlight Jenni Holmes

Jenni Homes recently became our Unit Manager on the Nursing Unit.

A New Hampshire native, Jenni was born and raised in Concord. She started working at the age of 13 in her uncle’s carwash on weekends, and loved making her own money and being independent. In Jenni’s senior year of high school she was trying to figure out what she wanted to do with herself; at the time she wasn’t yet ready for college. A friend of hers, Kelly, was going

through the Merrimack County Nursing Home LNA program and recommended Jenni do the same. Jenni signed up for the LNA course at Aspire Educational Services at the former Integrated Health Services (IHS) of Derry in the last semester of her senior year.

Jenni’s first LNA job was at the Harborside in Bedford, NH, and she worked as an LNA for 9 years at various places throughout Concord and Manchester, NH. During this time she met and married her husband Ryan, and they had a daughter, Savannah. When after 3 years Jenni and Ryan parted ways, Jenni decided she would go back to school and become an LPN. With the help of her parents she was able to work full time as an LNA, go to school, and take care of Savannah.

Her LPN course completed, Jenni secured a position at Presidential Oaks in Concord where she would stay for the next 11 years, working her way up from floor nurse to weekend supervisor, 3-11 supervisor, and ultimately to Unit Manager.

At Presidential Oaks, Jenni met her significant other, Wayne, when Savanah was 6. Wayne had two daughters of his own: Ashley, 4, and Hannah, 3. A few years later they added girls Meredyth and Oliviah to the “bunch.” Soon after having Oliviah, Jenni decided she needed to continue working towards her RN and enrolled in school. Jenni worked per diem at Presidential Oaks and took a full time position at Courville in Manchester as a weekend supervisor.

Looking for a little bit of change, in 2015 Jenni started working per diem at Taylor Community. She right away felt “at home,” really liking the people and the atmosphere. Jenni fit into our community immediately!

Jenni completed school in 2018 with an AS degree in Health Science and the General Study of Science. She is currently only a few classes away from completing her AS in Nursing, and studying to take the TEAS exam to re-enroll in the online nursing program to complete this degree.

In Memoriam

Laura Andrus June 4, 1947 ̶ March 2, 2019 Taylor Resident Since 2016

Notes from Glendale Senior Dining

In an effort to fully inform all residents and ensure they are well represented, and that all views are appreciated, we will now keep record of all topics discussed at the Food Forums for those who don’t attend, but may have requests and/or opinions not represented.

We have kept count of all What’s In Me brochures taken from the register and there have been two weeks when only one was taken. In consideration of the vast amount of effort and time that goes into producing this brochure, we have made the decision to only offer these detailed pamphlets for the socials, theme meals & other events.

Due to the diverse preferences of our patrons, we have many that only utilize one of the many facets we offer. We have conceptualized several new promotions to incentivize the multiple facets of our services, meant to intrigue the evening regulars to lunch, the lunch regulars to the reservation meals. Additionally, we also hope for the employees to frequent us more, and for greater attendance at Sunday Brunch. Be sure to visit us soon to learn more!

We’re coming up on a year now at Taylor Community! We’ve made tremendous headway, have settled in and learned the many aspects of the community. We have streamlined our services and utilized our time wisely, and now, have started to roll out new programs utilizing our staffs’ many skills and interests. As we all know, Julie and Tonya are easily accessible and we see their many contributions to the department; the kitchen team mem-bers also each have unique skills and backgrounds. Learn about them further with our new bio wall, coming soon, and see their contributions to our new programs in the very near future. Lou’s Baking Corner and Al’s Herb Garden will be utilized in Ben’s menu writings in addition to my own to ensure a diverse offering of styles.

See you at the Bistro!
