—Rick Plattner, Director of Public Relations Why worry when we can pray? Worry seems to be an equal opportunity employer.

We can worry about the past, the present, and the future. As human beings, we can find ourselves worrying over many different scenarios.

At Fairview Haven, we can worry about finances. Will the bills get paid? Will the State come through? Will we have enough residents?

We can worry about staffing. Can we find enough nurses? Will there be a sufficient amount of CNAs? Can we attract enough high school students to keep dining services and evening activities humming?

We can worry about regulatory issues. The past few months brought us seven state surveyors (for our annual certification survey) and three federal surveyors (a fol-low-up to our state survey). They spent nine days poring over records and observing cares. What might they find? Will we lose our five-star rating? Will we receive a fine or harsh penalty?

We can worry about providing adequate care. Are we able to meet the needs of the people with medical com-

plexities who reside with us? Can we keep our loved ones safe from a fall or an injury? Are we able to meet the needs of people and family members who are experienc-ing the difficulties of dementia?

We find no shortage of things to worry about. Worry doesn’t solve our problems or calm our fears, but worry seem to be a pretty natural default. As we share our con-cerns and fears with others, they often reply, “Don’t wor-ry!” That’s nice, but those words don’t offer solutions either. So where do we turn?

The Bible teaches us that there is an antidote to worry. It is called prayer.

In Philippians 4:6, we read, “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” God tells us we don’t have to allow the cares and anxieties of life to overwhelm us. Instead, we can make these concerns a point of prayer.

What a wonderful reminder that God says, “in every-thing.” It may seem small or silly, but God wants us to bring our petitions to Him

In the last issue of News From The Haven, we shared that some Fairview Haven supporters have started a Go-FundMe account to raise funds for a passenger bicycle for Fairview Haven residents. As of October, $5,000 has been raised. A goal of $13,000 will cov-er the bike and maintenance. Following is the article written by the

fundraiser organizers, Teri Wenger and JoEllen Grosshans.

“We love to bike and we would love to share this joy with seniors who can no longer get out on their bikes so that they, too, can get out on the open road and feel the wind in their hair again. “Fairview Haven has been provid-

ing a safe, loving environment for sen-iors for many years in our communi-ty. We have had family living there and were able to witness the quality of care given, and want to give back in some

way. Since we are bike riders and log hun-dreds of miles on our bikes each year, we are very excited to share our passion for biking with the resi-dents at Fairview Haven and to enable others to also take the resi-dents out for bike rides. “Fairview Haven had a wheel-chair bike for a while and the residents loved it, but it is no longer in

this bike into service by the summer of 2019. All money raised will go directly to Fairview Haven into a fund for this bike and its maintenance. “All online donations are tax-

exempt, just as a check would be, and you will receive a letter acknowledging your donation. “However, if you prefer not to do-

nate online, please give or mail a check to JoEllen Gehring, Teri Wenger, or to Dixie Steidinger at Fairview Ha-ven. Please make the check out to Fairview Haven and write "bike fund" on the memo line. As we get donations that way, we will decrease the goal of the online campaign. THANK YOU!”

Greetings from Dave’s Desk! God’s faithfulness has been strong and evident at Fair-

view Haven this past month or two. From August 6-9, our team was inspected by the Illinois

Department of Public Health. While this was our annual sur-vey, it was a completely new process. It proved to be incredi-bly painful. In the end, our team endured and came out with four minor issues that were resolved shortly after the survey team left the building. The following Monday, Aug. 13 was our scheduled pre-

opening inspection of Serenity Villa by the Livingston Coun-ty Public Health. Then, on Wednesday Aug. 15, our pre-opening inspection by the Illinois Department of Public

Health. While we were confident in the plans and those who carried out the

plans of Serenity Villa, we still went into these inspections with a little trepidation, not knowing what would come of them. With all that God has done through this building pro-ject, we shouldn’t have been amazed when both inspections resulted in no major concerns. The day after the Serenity Villa inspection, we were visit-

ed by the architect with the Illinois Department of Public Health for our annual Life Safety Inspection. You may have heard us shouting with joy as we were delivered the final results of this inspection. There was only one minor issue that has now been resolved. After all that, we opened Serenity Villa and began to

make adjustments here at Fairview Haven as we decreased our count of semi-private (or as

“Jeremiah Rinkenberger … He wasn’t that little when I started working at Fairview Haven but he was little enough that I wondered why we had a kid on a ladder in the maintenance department. Wow - was I surprised what that kid could do! 16 years later, he anchors our environmental services team and we don’t know what we’d do with-out him.” —Rick Plattner, Fairbury

“Jeremiah!! ‘Let’s get this done!!’” —Lila Fehr, Fair-bury “Let’s see, a local fireman seen a LOT at Fairview Ha-

ven getting things done at full speed? That’s got to be our very own Jeremi-ah Rinkenberger!!” —Dave Blunier, Fairbury “It’s JR. I had to cover up the long

hair to figure out who it was.” -Dixie Steidinger, Fairbury “Has to be Jeremiah Rinkenberger.

‘You will see him a LOT at Fairview Haven – getting things done at full speed’ gives it away! We do appre-ciate the great job Jeremiah does!” —Sandra Schneider, Fairbury “This is a given… JR.” -Lori Ifft,

Fairbury “That’s definitely Jeremiah. We’re

so thankful to have him here at Fair-view Haven.” -Anna Bahler, Fairbury “Jeremiah Robert Rinkenberger or

better known as ‘JR.’ Love always, Mom and Dad Rinkenberger” -Sue Rinkenberger, Forrest And from the previous Photo Puz-

zler, this message came from Janet Householder Woodall — “I believe the photo is of the Zimmerman family. Clue: the twins from Forrest. After high school, when they moved to Fairbury, I would bicycle all around town with them.”

Clues: This family photo was taken in 1965. At that time, the family was living in a different state and, soon after that, they moved to this area. The family is closely connected to Fairview Haven. Two of them are current Fairview Haven team members and three of them formerly worked at Fairview Haven. Please send your guesses to: Editor, News From The

and He will help us. Everything in-cludes, economic worries, health concerns, operational issues and even the government surveyors. God has it covered. Next time we are tempted to worry, we can take it to the Father.

I often refer to Philippians 4:6 as “the worriers’ verse.” I often have to remind myself that God is standing by to help, but He wants us to ask Him.

The next verse in Philippians 4 is the icing on the cake. It begins with the word “and.” That links verse 6 to verse 7. It says, “And the peace of God, which passeth all understand-ing, will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Think about it! The One who knows our present and future situa-tions says we don’t have to be anx-ious! We can bring everything to Him, and then, if we do, He promises us a peace that is beyond under-standing! That sounds like an answer to prayer, doesn’t it?

We are in the process of coordinating some volunteers to come to Serenity Villa. We are still determining what types of volunteers will be needed there. Currently we have a need for small musical groups (10 people or less) to come in and sing or play instruments, including the piano in our SV living room. We would also like men to come in to visit during the day or evening, possibly sharing a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and a time of fellowship with the men there. Bringing in small children to visit there might also be a good option. Finally, we

are asking for donations of fleece fabric (approx. 36” x 30”) so the resi-dents at Serenity Villa can make

some tie baby blankets as a charity project. If you have some fleece on hand that you don’t need or would like to purchase some for us, it would be appreciated! These donations can be dropped off at Serenity Villa or the Fairview Haven Business Office. As always, please contact Trish at tsteiding-

Haven were seemingly getting adjust-ed. We felt we could once again breathe. I decided it would be a good week

to take a couple days off and fix my leaky roof at home. That Monday morning, my son and I dug into the roof and got the leaky spot all cleared and the rotten wood removed. Pleased with our progress (and maybe a little proud that we were able to get this far without the professionals that some encouraged us to use), we took a nice leisurely lunch break. During lunch I experienced one of

those first-time experiences in life. My phone rang. (No, that’s not a first.) I looked and it was Fairview Haven call-ing. (Yeah, that’s not a first either!) I reluctantly answered (I promise the nurses I will never ignore the call). And this is what I heard: “Have you heard that we have Federal Surveyors in the building?” WHAT???? I quickly got dressed and hurried in to put this

first-time experience behind me! (I decided not to shower. I figured if I stank that would speed up the survey!) I expected the federal survey pro-

cess would be terrifying but, in reality, it was more friendly than the state sur-vey process. They found six issues (actually three of them were the same issue, just written a little different), but they were fair and kind about it. We have made the necessary fixes and will be submitting the evidence of correc-tion very soon! Again, God was in the midst of all

this and carried us through. I can’t im-agine what it would be like to navigate through the challenges of this job with-out the help of God and the great team of caregivers He has provided at Fair-view Haven! As for the roof – well, we did get

the job done. We had to call in the pro-fessionals in the end, but it’s all fixed now – at least we hope!!
