Independent Living event sign-up sheets on clipboards…
The sign-up sheets for activities can be found on the two long wooden tables located in the Atrium. The clipboards are updated before the monthly Residents Meeting. Residents attend the Residents Meeting then sign up for next month’s events. If a ticket is required for an event, you must indicate if you have your own or NEED one for the event. Nicole will assist you with on-line ticket purchases.
HELPFUL EVENT INFORMATION

The members of the Resident Recycling Team would like to thank Paul and Becky Colgin for start-ing the recycling program in 2015 and for their hard work and effort in picking up and hauling the recycla-bles for several years. They handed us a truly successful program! The renewed Resi-dent Recycle Team has been in operation for six
months and wants to thank the Manor Park participants for their help. During the last paper pickup, there were 36 stops made and 87 bags hauled to the bins. Any Independent Living resident can participate in the recycling pro-gram. You do not have to sign up to take part in the program. All we ask is that you place the recyclables in the blue bags (which can be pur-chased at the pantry) or in bags that are well marked with green tape or ribbon, that the bags be placed on the edge of the driveway for easy pickup, and that the correct recyclables are put out on the proper date.
The pickup schedule has been simplified: Second Wednesday of each month will be for paper only
Fourth Wednesday of each month will be for plastic (1 & 2 only) and aluminum.
Get involved in the recycling program at Manor Park! This is an easy way to get involved, help our community, and save our environment one bag at a time! If you would like to volunteer on pick up days as a sub please contact: Barbara Stooksberry - [email protected] or 432-294-0472

About Hospice Care - part 1 (A Medicare Benefit)
Hospice is a program of care and support for people who are terminally ill (with a life expec-tancy of 6 months or less, if the illness runs its normal course) and their families.
Here are 7 important facts about hospice:
1. Hospice helps people who are terminally ill live comfortably.
2. Hospice isn’t only for people with cancer.
3. The focus is on comfort (palliative care), not on curing an illness.
4. A specially trained team of professionals and caregivers provide care for the “whole per-son,” including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.
5. Services typically include physical care, coun-seling, drugs, equipment, and supplies for the terminal illness and related conditions.
6. Care is generally given in the home.
7. Family caregivers can receive support.

Chaplains Chat...
I feel quite sure many of you are familiar with at least some of the words of Elizabeth Barrett Browning in her “How Do I Love Thee?” Sonnet 43: If you are not, you can pull it up on a computer. As you can guess, she goes on to write about the many ways which she loves Robert Browning. The last sentence of the Sonnet goes like this: “I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.” We have no idea exactly how Elizabeth meant this last phrase, if she was anticipating that she would out live Robert, or if after her own death, she would somehow continue with those feelings and that they would even deepen further throughout the course of time. It ends up that she died 28 years before Robert. Either way it appears that she is hoping that love never dies. Hopefully we enter this world being part of a loving family and the hop is that this continues throughout our lives. Yes, there are struggles and difficulties, Elizabeth struggled with a health issue most of her life, but with Robert and God by her side, she managed to do the best she could through it all. It doesn’t matter if we marry or remain single, the hope is that we feel loved by family and friends. We need love to become the fullest person that we can be. God loves us, in spite of ourselves. God loves us when we do the wrong thing. God loves us when we are self-centered, even when things are not about us and we think they should be about us. God is always there willing to love us and care for us. God has taken things further than Elizabet Barrett Browning. How, you may ask. God has loved us from the beginning of time, now and even into our future. Blessings, Chaplain Bill Billett BCC Let me know if I can be of help as you face any transition in your life. I am open to meeting with you. Please let me know if you would like me to come by and visit you. My phone number to my office is 699-3404 or send an email

IL housekeeping staff are re-
sponsible for completing the follow-
ing tasks in each of the homes at
Manor Park ; general dusting, vacu-
uming carpeted areas, cleaning the
kitchen, change linens beds, clean
bathrooms, sweeping and mopping
of hard surface floors. The following
tips will ensure that housekeeping
tasks are completed efficiently and
effectively:
> Countertops and tabletops should
be cleared off any extra clutter so
that the housekeeper can thorough-
ly clean and dust.
> Place clean linens in an obvious
place for any beds requiring the
linens to be changed.
> Let the housekeeper (or their
supervisor) know which room(s) you
prefer them to start cleaning first (i.e.,
some residents prefer that the house-
keeper start in the kitchen, work their
way to the living room, etc.) Once a
routine has been established, house-
keepers will do a general cleaning of
the entire house and if time permits,
they will do a deep cleaning of one
or two rooms. If there is a room or
rooms in the house that you do not
want the housekeeper to clean
please let them know in advance. But
keep in mind that even a room that is
never used will still build up dust
(consider having it cleaned at least
once every other month).
> Please turn down thermostat to comfortable setting for cleaning your home. By doing this the housekeeper will be able to work more efficiently and will also help keep dust the down when the housekeeper is do-ing the general of dusting of the house. Questions or concerns call House-keeping: 3432-699-3433.
If you have a heat pump system blowing cold air, some new heat pump owners may think their unit runs all the time because they aren’t used to the longer run times and lower temperature output of a heat pump. In extremely cold weather conditions, a properly working heat pump will run almost continuously. That is the way they are designed to work. When the cold is above 35 degrees and your heat pump seems to be continu-ously running, forms ice on the outdoor unit, please contact Maintenance Office– 699-3427
If you decide to change your PHONE SERVICE to a different
company, please, contact the Maintenance office. It is important for others to be notified about the CHANGES.
Everyone MUST maintain a land line in order to have a functioning Fire Alarm System that alerts the emergency system for quick re-sponse.
