Life can deliver some unexpected twists. Acci-dents, sudden illnesses or emergency surgeries can happen when you least ex-pect them. In the aftermath of such events, your energy is focused primarily on re-covery. Trying to find the best available resources for help can be pretty challeng-ing.

At Life Care Centers of Westlake, Rehabilitation Director Erin Skrzyniecki understands the intense desire to recuperate and get back to normal as quickly

Joale Reda, COTA/L, Certified OT Assistant

Liz Sebastian, LPT, Physical Therapy

Heidi Demooy, OTR/L, with 94 year old patient Bob Soules. “I’m feeling better than ever,” said Bob, looking forward to resuming normal home life activi-ties after a stroke.

Life Care Center of Westlake: Let the Healing Beginas possible.

Serious illness or trau-ma may force you to relearn even basic functions. The struggle to regain those lost capabilities while still re-covering is frustrating and often overwhelming.

“That’s when our team of experts can make an overwhelming difference,” says Erin. “Our skilled therapy services can has-ten your recovery, help re-turn lost skills and bring back strength and mobil-ity. Our staff and specific therapy care personnel

design and individualize plans for every patient to meet their goals. One pa-tient may want to return to assisted living, and another may have the goal of going home and living indepen-dently. It is our mission to meet everyone’s goal.”

Erin and the staff of-ten draw inspiration from those they assist. “Our residents are the extraor-dinary people who refuse to allow temporary set-backs or disabilities to af-fect them permanently. Their determination and effort become invaluable

tools in the rehabilitation process,” adds Erin. “It is our greatest privilege to partner with them—or you, or your loved one—during recovery … and become your strongest advocates in the road to reclaiming total wellness.”

The rehabilitation staff at Life Care Centers consist of physical therapists, phys-ical therapist assistants, occupational therapists, occupational therapist as-sistants, speech-language pathologists, restorative nurse and restorative aides. “The rehab staff at Life Care Center have advanced training in specific mo-dalities,” says Erin. “Closed Pulse Irrigation is a type of debridement performed by PTs and PTAs to im-prove healing in wounds. The Speech Pathologists are trained in Vital Stim @ therapy, a form of neuro-muscular electrical stimu-lation used to improve function in patients with swallowing disor-ders. The Occupational Therapy team has training Dementia Programming, includ-ing Allen Caognitive training. Our rehab fa-cility also offers other modalities to increase strength and ameliorate pain, wound and more. These include electrical stimulation, daithermy and ultrasound therapies.”

Their therapy team works together to ensure the needs of each resident are met. Life Care’s therapists also receive training on a regular basis to help them maintain the skills necessary to provide the highest qual-ity of care.

Don’t wait until you or your loved one are preparing to leave the hospital to plan the transition to rehabilitation. Inquire about a reservation today for one of our short-term rehabilitation rooms and let the healing begin!

VILLAGER BEAT

Tried and True…It’s winter for all of us here in

northeast Ohio. Cold, snow, not enough sun, and just trying to deal with slush and ice has been a real experience for all of us. But, you have to smile knowing that warmer weather is literally around the cor-ner and what you see in front of you will soon give birth to sprouts of flowers, plants, and a beautiful spring.

As many of you know, in addition to our dental prac-tice here in Bay Village, I am also a dental researcher and consultant to many dental materials’ companies. These companies constantly are striving to improve their dental materials, which directly result in improving the quality of dental care to you. You will recognize by name - 3M, Rem-brandt, Sonicare, Crest, and others just like those. These companies are wonderful in that they are willing to dedi-cate time and money to research their materials and tech-niques before they are brought out to the public.

Unfortunately, there are a number of companies that are willing to develop materials and products and just throw them out into the market place. Some dentists unwittingly will use these inferior materials in patient’s mouth without

knowing that they have not been well tested and may in fact fail. This applies to new technology as well. Don’t be im-pressed, as a dental patient, by what the dentist may think is the latest and greatest invention to dentistry. Ask and find out what kind of studies have been done on the materials going into your mouth and what is the longevity that you might expect. I have personally seen too many dentists be-come guinea pigs for the latest inventions in dentistry that may not have been well tested.

In our office, we only use tried and true dental materi-als and techniques that will provide you with long lasting, life like restorations so that you can always have a healthy smile. Whenever we do use the state of the art materials, we know for a fact that they have been well tested and can also withstand the test of time. We always encourage our patients to ask questions because we know that our best pa-tients are well-informed patients.

If you have any dental concerns or would like a free consultation, feel free to call us at 440-892-1810 today. As always, our goal is to help you develop and maintain a healthy smile.

THANK YOU, LOBSTER BROTHERS: You just have to say “Thank you” to Lobster Brothers in Westlake after their touching outreach recently to a patient at the Ames Family Hospice House in Westlake. Tracy, Joe and Kevin of Lobster Bros. got word that the wish of one particular pa-tient was something right up their alley - a lobster dinner! The patient didn’t want to burden anyone with her wish. But she did tell a social worker there, who went about the business of fulfilling that wish. At first, the social worker was going to request Hospice funds for the dinner, but the good folks at Lobster Bros. refused to hear of it! They in-stead insisted on donating it. So, thanks to Lobster Bros., the world was made a better place, at least for a day and with a special dinner, for one grateful soul with a special wish.

North Coast Health Ministry has achieved recognition as a National Committee for Quality As-surance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home 2011, level 3, becoming the first free clinic in Ohio to attain this distinction.

The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home 2011 standards emphasize the use of systematic, pa-tient-centered, coordinat-ed care that supports ac-cess, communication and patient involvement.

“The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home

North Coast Health Ministry Achieves Recognition as a Patient Centered Medical Home

Lee Elmore, Executive Di-rector North Coast Health Ministry

is a model of 21st century primary care that combines access, teamwork and tech-nology to deliver quality care and improve health,” said NCQA President Mar-garet E. O’Kane. “NCQA’s PCMH 2011 Recognition shows that North Coast Health Ministry has the tools, systems and resourc-es to provide their patients with the right care at the right time.”

A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that medical homes improve clinical outcomes and re-duce costs. Putting in place

the standards required for PCHM recognition was one of NCHM’s highest strategic priorities of the past year.

“Achieving recognition as a patient centered medi-cal home is an important validation of the steps we have taken to ensure com-prehensive, continuous care for our low-income uninsured patients,” said North Coast Health Min-istry Executive Director Lee Elmore. “Most of our patients have chronic dis-eases, and the standards and procedures required

for recognition as a patient-centered medical home ensure that the care we are providing for them results in the best outcomes and reduces unnecessary costs.”

Earning the recognition as a patient centered medical home was a process that involved the entire NCHM clinical team and was supported by practice transformation coaches provided by Better Health Greater Cleveland.

“The patient centered medical home is a team-based model of care,” said NCHM Medical Director Philip Tomsik, MD. “While we have always consid-ered ourselves ‘patient-centered,’ this distinction val-idates that the care we are providing to some of the most vulnerable in our community is of the highest quality possible.”

In partnership with each other and with the Cleveland Clinic, our hospitals continue to share best prac-tices and resources to ensure excellence in our programs and our cardiac outcomes. Taking excellent care of our patients is our number one priority.” Donations from last year’s generous supporters were used to supply Cleveland Metroparks with automated ex-ternal defibrillators (AED). The donation allows the Me-troparks to expand its safety program to cover the entire park system, providing each first-responder vehicle with an AED. A highlight of the event is the countdown through 40 fabu-lous Straight from the Heart raffle prizes. This year’s grand prize of $100,000 was won by Cleveland West Sider Stephanie Gross, who was in attendance and tearfully took to the stage in astonishment as she was introduced to her oversized check by Dr. Robert Weil, President, Lakewood Hospital, Janice Murphy, President, Fairview Hospital, and Dr. Brian Donley, President, Lutheran Hospital.

Your Donor Advised FundCan be the Answer to

Someone’s Prayers Each of us has the power to answer someone’s prayers. Helping others through philanthropy can take many forms, and whatever your gift – large or small, time or treasure – there is an opportunity to help. A creative way to arrange a gift is through a donor advised fund at Commu-nity West Foundation – an easy, effective tax efficient vehicle that helps you manage and carry out your charitable giving. You may want to give back to the com-munity, share your philanthropic values with your children or create a highly orga-nized center for all your gifting activities. A donor advised fund provides all of this and more so that you can focus your time and energy on making a difference. In 2011, the holders of the 55 Donor Advised Funds at the Community West Foundation showed incredible generosity in making gifts that totaled $2,000,000.00 to 83 agencies. Their commitment and con-cern inspires us all!

Uninsured, Avalon Jewelers put together a plan to assist these good people in their time of need with a store fundraiser. They were joined by other select businesses like Heinen’s, Thirty-One, and the FISH radio station.

Incredible drama in the fi-nals of the West Shore Conference Wrestling Tournament at Bay High saw North Ridgeville heavyweight Nick Bailey record a pin in the last match of the tournament to give the Rangers the league champion-ship.

Bailey caught Bay’s Matt Be-niard in a headlock and hip-tossed him to the mat for a deciding pin at the 58 second mark of the first period.. The outcome gave North Ridgeville 163.5 points - enough to send Bay to third place in the final count. Bailey walked off the mat to accept hugs from his jubilant team-mates - a hero for life!

The final standings saw North Ridgeville take the team title with 163.5 points, followed by, Avon 159.5, Bay 156.5, Midview 92, Elyria Catholic 88.5, Rocky River

Mark Chrzanowski of Brecksville-Broad-view Hts. fights through a crowd of Westlake defenders as the Bees topped the Demons last Fri-day.
