Judi’s NotesThe people in my neighborhood
talk! We talk about the storeswhere we’ve received great serviceand those businesses who havetreated us exceedingly well. We
share names of good landscapers,house painters, hair salons and
others. I’ve learned so much aboutthe business in my communityfrom my neighbors due to these
informal networking andinformation sharing sessions. I
value my neighbor’s opinions andsuggestions, as they have beenmost helpful to me when I am
searching for new services.This same type of networkingoccurs at Belmont Village too.Through our "We Choose Our
Friends and Neighbors" program,we encourage you to network, too,and share information about your
positive experience at BelmontVillage. We encourage you to tell
your friends about ourcommunity and all that it has to
offer. If someone you know mightbe interested in learning moreabout our community, we’ll be
happy to show them around andtalk with them further. Here’s thebest part: if they move into our
community, you will receive$1,000 off one month’s rent for
each new resident you refer.I know full well the value of this
type of networking; I use it at
home, as well as at work. If youwant to know about a business, Iask someone who has utilized his
or her services. You are allwonderful “spokespeople” forBelmont Village and can easily
share great experiences withothers. Just think, in addition toreceiving a credit on your rent,you will also help fill our fine
community with the people whoare just as kind, wonderful and
thoughtful as you! Byparticipating in “We Choose our
Friends and Neighbors” program,everyone benefits! You literally getto choose your neighbors and new
friends at Belmont andsimultaneously save a little moneydoing so! Here’s to spreading the
good news!And a great thank you to all of
you who have supported usthroughout the 12 years we have
been operating and servingseniors. It is truly a privilege to bepart of this organization and team
of professionals, and of courseserving and providing for all of
our residents and families.
Respectfully,Judith Uy-VillaruzExecutive Director

Where did it all begin?Different stories circulate aboutthe origin of Memorial Day, butthe central New York village of
Waterloo has the best claimregarding the founding of the
holiday. In 1866, Henry Wellesa local pharmacist, proposed a
celebration honoring those whofought and died in the Civil
War. The community gotbehind the idea and on May 5,
1866, the flags in Waterloo wereflown at half-mast; a parade wasorganized; and ceremonies were
held at local cemeteries. 100years later, in May of 1966,President Lyndon Johnson
officially designated Waterlooas “the birthplace of Memorial
Day.”Join us in the Great Room at 3:00
p.m. to participate in the“National Moment of
Remembrance”

Nerissa’s Notes:Occupational Therapy Month
Occupational Therapy is therapybased on performing the
meaningful activities of dailyliving (self-care skills, education,work and social skills), especially
to enable or enhance participationin such activities, despite
impairments or limitations inphysical or mental functioning.
Occupational therapists are skilledprofessionals. Their educationincludes the study of human
growth and development, withspecific emphasis on the social,
emotional and physical effects ofillness and injury. They are
unique, in that they look at thewhole picture when it comes to a
person’s treatment.They look at the person’s abilities,
task to be performed, and theenvironment in which the task is
to take place.
The older adult benefits fromoccupational therapy because
their goal is to assist withregaining or maintaining a level in
independence that will allowthem to age in place for as long as
possible. Occupational therapyhas been proven effective for
seniors living with various
medical conditions or recoveringfrom surgery. In addition toworking with individuals toincrease strength or regain
important life supporting skills,occupational therapists workthroughout the community,
counseling families, localgovernments, and communitygroups to ensure that each is
doing what it can to help olderadults maintain their
independence.
Belmont Village offers bothoccupational therapy and physical
therapy services. Our WellnessCenter nurses work closely withour therapists to identify those
residents who would benefit fromthese therapies and contacts the
families and physicians tocoordinate care.
We encourage, educate andpromote healthy living.
