A Message from the Executive Director Things are in full swing at Complete Senior Care PACE for the holiday season! The center is filled
with glimmering holiday lights, real pine wreaths, vibrant red poinsettias, festive table center pieces,
snowflakes and of course, a beautiful Christmas tree. But most importantly, we are spending time
together as our Complete Senior Care family and truly enjoying this very special time of year. As a
matter of fact, participants are making Christmas cookies as I write this and the smell is wonderful! You don’t necessarily have to come to the center however to “see” Complete Senior Care this holiday
season, as we are participating in some popular local festivities:
When in Lewiston, stop by and see the Complete Senior Care contest entry “Home for the
Holidays” window display and decorated tree at the Allstate Agency at 419 Center Street. While the window and tree will be there for you to admire all season long, you can cast your
vote for the decorating contest (wink, wink, nudge, nudge!) December 5-6 during the
Lewiston Christmas Walk. And special thanks to Phil Mastantuono for his generous
sponsorship of our contest entry again this year!
The Niagara Power Vista is hosting the Festival of Trees December 1-January 1. You can
now see the trees lining the pedestrian bridge while travelling on the Robert Moses Parkway.
On Saturday, December 12 from 10 am to 4 pm, they are holding their Deck the Halls event
with free holiday activities and viewing of the trees, which are decorated by area non-profits.
Check out the decorated CSC tree…..it’s beautiful!
Special thanks to our staff-- Julie O’Connor, Dorothy Gallagher, Patricia Jones and Michelle Suitor to
name a few--for assisting with these holiday festivities and for donating their time and talents to
represent our program in such a fun and festive way.
Happy Holidays to you all. We wish you the very best of health and happiness for the 2016 New
Year! Sincerely,
Virginia

HOLIDAY TIPS
The holidays can become overwhelming due to family
gathering/holiday parties, keeping up with traditions, or doing
additional cooking and shopping. Below are tips that AARP
shared in November 2014 that might be helpful to keep in mind.
1. ANTICIPATE YOUR OWN HOLIDAY HOT
BUTTONS: Are there holiday activities or toxic relatives
that trigger stress? Minimize the drama, don’t try to
resolve longtime family problems over the holidays, try
short encounters and develop quick exit strategies.
2. KEEP SELF-CARE AT THE TOP OT THE LIST: It’s
easy to let this slip when you’re even busier than usual.
Keep it simple and incorporate it into your daily care
giving routine if possible.
3. PLAN AHEAD AND FOCUS ON WHAT IS MOST
MEANINGFUL: Perfection is not the goal of the holidays
– joy is! Cramming more into your already crazy schedule
can push you over the edge, so consider what is really
doable before you commit.
4. ASK FOR HELP FOR YOURSELF AND THOSE YOU
CARE FOR: Even if you don’t usually pay for help,
consider doing so now, since hiring someone to assist for a
few hours can be a huge relief.
5. START NEW TRADITIONS: Instead of focusing on what
you’re not doing, try doing something new. Give the gift of
time or attention rather than costly presents. Attend a
holiday concert you’ve never gone to before.
