Highlights from December

The Friday Connections Group

Cheering on the New Year!

Happy 2019!

Many thanks to our WYNN Las

Vegas team of ANGELS for another

delicious and successful holiday

luncheon. All the delicious food at

the Adult Day Care Centers of Las

Vegas and Henderson was donated

for these wonderful events with kind

generosity from Wynn Las Vegas.

Julie Murray of Moonridge Group, her amazing staff

and some incredible donors connected to her

organization helped one of our families this Christmas

after a tragic loss. Just days before the holiday, the

main caregiver (a mother & grandmother) passed away

suddenly. The Moonridge Angels generously provided

food, toys and clothing

for this family of 7 in their

most sorrowful & urgent

time of need. We are all

blessed to have these

Moonridge Angels in our

Nevada Senior Services

Family. Thank you!

Celebrating the Holidays

with our furry friends!

They are making regular

visits

alternating

Thursdays.

We have Tai Chi/ Chi Kung & Yoga Classes. Tai Chi/Chi Kung &

Yoga are a combination of choreographed seated or standing

movement, sound vibrations and guided meditations. These

practices promote healing and relaxation by releasing negative

emotions such as worry, anxiety, grief and anger.

GETTING SCENT-IMENTAL JASMINE is the January

scent. In a study presented at the Eastern Psychological

Association Conference in 2011, researchers analyzed 20

people as they slept in rooms scented with jasmine, lavender, or

nothing. Participants moved the least during

sleep and rated their anxiety levels lowest after smelling jasmine.

They also performed better on cognitive tests. The beautiful aroma

makes a classic scented black tea. Happy Hibernating zzz From Readers Digest

GOOD MOOD FOODS DARK CHOCOLATE Dark chocolate is

loaded with nutrients that can positively affect

your health, made with the seed of the cocoa

tree, it is one of the best sources of antioxidants

on the planet. It may improve blood flow and

lowers blood pressure, raises HDL and protects

LDL from oxidation. Look for minimally processed chocolate with high

cocoa content. According to the American Cancer Institute, "Given

chocolate’s rich supply of flavonoids, researchers have also

investigated whether it may play a role in cancer prevention.”

Meet the Staff Mr. RAMP, Tim Rabatsky has worked for Nevada Senior Services

since 2011 and is the lead for facility maintenance and RAMP

home safety modifications. Frankly there is NOTHING Tim can’t

build or fix. He has an intuitively creative, mechanical mind. The

“tinkering” started when he was a young boy back in Ohio when he

taught himself how to repair a lawn mower or a dirt bike by taking

it apart and putting it back together. His skills and interests are

endless: Sailing, astronomy, photography, science, vintage miatas,

etc… Tim was a plant manager for a machine shop for 25 years and has certifications in

HVAC, OSHA, and computer programming to name a few. We appreciate Tim so much—

not only does he keep our facility running, he has allowed hundreds of

seniors to live safely in their homes through the RAMP program. Tim is

a gift to us all.
