Tower Topics
Volume 74 Issue 8 August 2019
We are moving right along with our East Campus Task Force,
a committee of board members focused on taking the
appropriate next steps to determine what lies ahead for the
land where our cottages currently sit. On August 12 at
9:00 a.m., we will have one of the finalist development
companies present at the Town Hall meeting to give us
insight into current trends in senior living, including housing,
programs, and services – it promises to be a wonderfully
informative meeting that you won’t want to miss.
One trend we’ll hear more about, one that I’m confident is here to stay, is the focus
on health & wellness. Today’s seniors demand more from the communities in which
they live; programming needs to focus on the total person – social, emotional,
physical, intellectual, and spiritual wellness. We have exciting things already
happening here on campus with our award-winning Life Enrichment program that
hits upon many of the dimensions of wellness mentioned above, the Pain
Management Clinic opening this month under the direction of Dr. Murtaza, and a
partnership with Accelerated Care Plus to provide the most cutting-edge and
effective modalities in rehabilitation, just to name a few.
As we continue to determine what will be developed on the East Campus, I am
personally hopeful that we will see one component be a Health & Wellness Center
that will allow us to continue with the outstanding work already being done here at
Plymouth Place and expand our programming even more. Our mission at Plymouth
Place is to help each individual resident live well, and exciting opportunities lie ahead
as we reimagine our campus and our programming. We are committed to keeping
this wonderful community vibrant and relevant, and we appreciate your support in
this commitment.

Scene On the 2nd Floor Anita, Ruby, Holly, & Celeste
Chaplain Chat Chaplain Doreen Sterba DeZur
The last few weeks, several of us have been discussing creation and creating. Along with this
we have also been discussing evolution. It would seem that our world is still evolving, still
changing, constantly moving. Nothing is static around us. It is all full of life, and life also means
that there are changes. Think of it as more creating. One theologian offers the challenge that
in our zeal to succeed, we may actually be de-creating creation, and we have to be very careful
about that. This led me to think about how am I still a part of the evolving creative work of our
world? What am I constructively working on to continue being a new creation from God? I
rather like the reminder that I am not looking at the created world, but am a part of the created,
and still creating, world. May you also find joy in what you too are creating.
We could not have asked for better weather for our trip to Brookfield Zoo! It was very well

“Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my…” The Zoo is coming to the Health Care Center! We are
thankful to Brookfield Zoo for making a special trip to Plymouth Place and bringing along a
couple of friends. We will learn about some animals and pet a few. You are welcome to join the
party on August 7 and meet some new friends.
Thursday, Aug. 29, 2:00 p.m. Dole Hall This month we will study Confucianism, the way of
life founded by Confucius in the 6th–5th century BCE and followed by the Chinese people for
more than two millennia. Although transformed over time, it is still the substance of
learning, the source of values, and the social code of the Chinese. Its influence has also
extended to other countries, particularly Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.

Plymouth Place Staff: Rebecca Mathis
Chief Financial Officer
Rebecca Mathis was born in Cambridge, England, and
moved to the U.S. when she was ten. At that time she
was certain she wanted to be a doctor. However, an
accounting class her senior year in high school led her
to realize she could combine both her interests in health
care and accounting. Rebecca attended Michigan State
University, graduating with a B.S. in accounting, a C.P.A.
and then an M.B.A. with a concentration in Health
Administration from Benedictine University. Her first job
after college was as an auditor for Medicare in Chicago. She then joined
Columbia La Grange Hospital in 1997 which began a twenty-two year career
with the Adventist Hinsdale and La Grange Memorial Hospitals in various
financial roles.
As CFO/VP of Amita Adventist Hinsdale and La Grange Memorial Hospitals,
she was the top candidate to replace the CFO responsibility formally
outsourced to Providence, a contract expiring December 1. She found the
mission and independence of Plymouth Place plus the friendly staff and
resident environment to be very welcoming.
Rebecca and her husband, Shane, were married in 2000 and now live in Burr
Ridge with son Owen who is 17 and Abbey, an 18 year old heading off to
college this year for a nursing career. Two dogs are very spoiled members of
the family and join them every summer as they go to Michigan for fun on
the lake. Rebecca and Abbey enjoy scrapbooking together and organizing
their planners.
Plymouth Place offers a full continuum of care under one roof, including
independent living and assisted living residences, memory care suites, Medicare-
certified short-term rehabilitation, and long-term skilled nursing. Our
person-centered approach to quality care allows us to tailor services and
programs to meet the evolving needs and preferences of our residents.
