June 2021

Welcome!

To celebrate Father's Day, join dad on Saturday, June 19 for some fun.   The courtyards will be available from 2:00-4:00pm to eat a slice of pizza and enjoy time together.  In order to maintain COVID regulations a time block must be scheduled in advance by contacting Kelly at 706-364-8710 or [email protected]. Spots will be filled on a first come first served basis.

Thank you to all who were able to join us for our Moments with Mom event!

Staying Connected

Great news! We are open for in-person visits if your loved one has had the vaccine and porch visits if your loved one did not receive the vaccine. Call the day ahead of your visit to schedule a time to meet with your loved one. Guidelines are still in effect and must be followed to ensure safety for you and the residents (See visitor consent pictured below.) In order to keep families informed, we have created a Facebook Group for you to stay updated and ask questions. You must first be a fan of our Facebook page to join the Families Group. Links for our main page as well as the Family Group are below. Madison Heights Facebook Page Madison Heights Evans Families Group

Support Group

A support group led by a Madison Heights staff member meets the third Thursday of each month at 2:00. During this time, we are meeting via a video call. Though meeting virtually isn’t the ideal situation we will still be able to gain valuable information from each other and enjoy the community of friends.  All family members or caregivers of someone with a dementia diagnosis are welcome to attend. Don't forget to invite others who you think would benefit from additional support. For more information or a direct link to our meeting, contact Kelly at 706-364-8710 or [email protected].

We were honored to be included in Shay Day. Our residents loved watching the Smile Parade come by each building.

Forever Friends

Madison Heights believes our community creates longer, happier and more fulfilling lives when friends come together and support each other. Make this the best community yet by encouraging your friends to move in! Every time you refer a friend who moves into our community, you’ll receive a $1,000 rent credit once the friend has lived here for 90 days. You both win by being closer, and our whole community wins by making our neighbors stronger! For more information, contact your Executive Director today. FOREVER FRIENDS EVERYONE WINS WHEN FRIENDS ARE NEAR

Our residents loved spending time with Lincoln for pet therapy.

Legacy Healthcare Services

Thank you Legacy Healthcare Services for gifting the Madison Heights ladies with succulents for Mother's Day.

Legacy Healthcare Services is a Specialized Rehabilitation Service that started a partnership with our community last year. Legacy specializes in dementia care and provides Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy. Their staff work with residents 5 days a week for an hour per discipline to help to restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities. If you feel your loved one can benefit from Legacy's therapy services please contact Dawn.

We are grateful for these amazing volunteers from Grace Baptist Church who helped us with some gardening projects around the community.

Spring is Here!

As warmer months are here, it would be helpful if you would bring a hat and possibly sunglasses for your loved one. This will make gardening, outdoor concerts and rides around town on the bus more enjoyable for your loved one. Please make sure their hat has their name. Please take a moment to check in with your loved one's building to ensure they have an adequate amount of seasonal appropriate clothing that fit their current size. Our hairdresser, Pam, has returned. She visits every Tuesday. If you would like your loved one to be scheduled for a hair appointment please contact Kelly Adriano at 706-364-8710 or [email protected].

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Home is Where the Food is

We invite you to share your experiences and your loved one's favorite recipes with our community in our Home is Where the Food is Program. Recipe sheets will be in the office of each building or you can send the recipe to Kelly.

Hanging out in the sunshine!

Medical Information

Pharmacy Change We have moved to an all electronic pharmacy so we will now be using Guardian Pharmacy. Your loved one's medications won't be changing due to this change. If you have any questions please contact Dawn at 706-364-8715. Doctor Visits If you would like to switch to our in-house physician, Doctor Naseem, please see Billy to fill out a consent form.     Podiatry Visits Our podiatrist Dr. Kovalczyk is retiring. His last visit was in April. Dr. John Murrell will become our new podiatrist starting in June. You will need to fill out a new consent form for treatment. These were mailed with March invoices. If you have any questions reach out to Billy at 706-364-8713. Oral Hygiene It was recommended by a local dentist that many of our residents would have an easier time brushing their teeth using an electric toothbrush. He feels this could get more work done in a shorter amount of time which would make this experience easier for the residents. Please consider bringing an electric toothbrush for your loved one.

Our residents love spending a day in the sunny garden.
