So much for the arrival of El Niño! No rain and lots of warm sunshine seem to be filling our Los Angeles winter. Although I do enjoy the sunny days I am hoping that we get some badly needed rain in March! Perhaps we should all learn how to do a rain dance to see if that helps?! I hope that you will all join me in welcoming back Vida Gonzales this month. Vida is our Director of Resident Care Services (DRCS) and she is due to return from Maternity leave late in March. For those residents who are new to the community, I look forward to arranging for Vida to meet and get to know you better. For everyone else I am sure that you will be happy to see Vida again and hopefully to see photos of her beautiful new baby daughter. I also hope that everyone will join me in thanking Shar Gephardt, our west coast Regional VP of Resident and Care Services. Shar has graciously worked from our community since last November to help us while Vida was on leave, and we could not have gotten through the past four months without her brilliant support. So THANK YOU, Shar!! Sadly I still do not have any updates to share with you on the progress of the City of LA permit approvals that we need so that we can begin our eagerly awaited renovations. Hopefully those approvals will arrive soon and we can get on with creating the improvements that are planned for our community. I will keep you updated when I know more. We had so many fun events in February, including Chinese New Year, Shrove/Pancake Tuesday, Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day. Big thanks to Jeremy Faulkner for putting up the beautiful decorations for Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day; he always makes our community look so good and cheerful. Also, thank you to our Chef manager John Melanson and his fantastic dining/kitchen staff for all their hard work during the fun dinner celebrations in February. Our calendar of activities is busy for the month of March and I hope that you will enjoy participating in one of my favorite March celebrations, St. Patrick’s Day (also my parents wedding anniversary). No doubt Jeremy will fill the Great Room and Josephine’s Kitchen with lots of GREEN! Continued on page 7....

Health

March is “Brain InjuryAwareness” month.

When we think or hear of a braininjury, we refer to it as eitherorganic, brain tissue or toxicchemical destruction, or physicaltrauma. There is another type ofbrain injury that is now commonlyknown to us, the Post TraumaticStress Disorder (PTSD). We arefaced by many more challenges withthe prevalence and high incidences ofPTSD. PTSD has been in existencefor many years. It has been suggestedto be the result of an emotionalresponse to environmental eventswith underlying psychologicaltrauma. We see more and more casesof diagnosed PTSD especially amongcombat soldiers, “Our Vets” whocame home from the war. We haveseniors in our Community who werein World War II, Korea and theVietnam War. Most of them do notlike to talk about the details of whatthey experienced during the war.Some don’t like to talk about it at all.It’s emotionally disturbing to them.

PTSD presents the characteristicsymptoms of high anxiety, hypervigilance, irritability, difficultycalming down, negativity,exaggerated reaction to stimuli, andsome become antisocial or havedifficulty with interpersonalrelationships. The trauma is so

complex that resulted from repeated,prolonged exposure to multiple formsof interpersonal trauma, often undercertain circumstances where escapewas not possible. In order tounderstand the complexity of PTSD,we need to know the differentperspective of the disorder. We needmore Health Care Professionals orProviders who will focus on treatingand assisting those individuals,especially those victims of war.Challenges with PTSD have justbegun for the new generationto come.

Please support our troops!

What Would We Do?by Alma Berkus

(Fantasy)As I sat this morning with my

marvelous friends, we discussedour future if we were luckyenough to win the Powerballlottery. We pooled our fivedollars each for the major eventfor our group of 80+ year olds.Our plans for the future wereastounding.

Number 1: In our future, wewould like a 500 square footliving quarters. We wouldrequire live-in help.

Number 2: Our live-in cookwould be Michel Richard.

Number 3: Travel by privateplane with champagne andcaviar included.

Number 4: Before departing,a trip to Tiffany’s or Cartier.Also, we would need a trip toNeiman’s second floor.

As the numbers began to becalled, our faces dropped, wetook a deep breath, returned toreality. This was the end of our$5 investment. With a smile, wedonned our designer jeans,grabbed our medications,walkers, returned to our rooms;thus was the end of our fantasy.
