PLEASE JOIN ME IN WELCOMING HER TO OUR COMMUNITY! AFTER SHE IS FULLY TRAINED, KERI WILL BE CASE MANAGING ALL RESIDENTS IN THE 500 S AND 600 S. WITH THAT SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY GOODBYE AND THANK YOU TO CASE MANAGER, LIZ WURTZ WHO WILL BE MOVING ON TO ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY. LIZ S LAST DAY WITH US WAS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23 RD. ADDITIONALLY, COLETTE SHEPARD WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSEE RESIDENT CASE MANAGEMENT NEEDS IN THE 300 S AND 400 S. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE AS WE TRANSITION. WARM REGARDS, MARK GUIDA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TRANSPORTATION HOURS: DOWNTOWN AREA- (CAMILLUS, E.SYRACUSE & FAYETTEVILLE) TUESDAY & WEDNESEDAY 9:00AM - 4:00PM LIVERPOOL & NORTH AREA- MONDAY 1:00PM - 4:00PM THURSDAY 9:00AM - 4:00PM PLEASE MAKE ALL APPOINTMENTS WITH THE NURSING DEPARTMENT X 265 BEAUTY SALON HOURS: MONDAY 9:00AM - 2:00PM TUESDAY - THURSDAY 9:00AM - 4:00PM FRIDAY 9:00AM - 5:00PM BY APPOINTMENT PLEASE CALL MARIA BALANCE AND THE INNER EAR BEFORE WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW BALANCE IS AFFECTED BY YOUR INNER EAR, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE FUNCTIONS OF YOUR EAR. THE 2 MAJOR ROLES OF THE EAR ARE HEARING AND MAINTAINING BALANCE. SOUNDS VIBRATIONS CROSS THE EARDRUM TO THE INNER EAR CAUSING YOU TO HEAR. THESE VIBRATIONS ARE SWITCHED INTO NERVE SIGNALS IN THE INNER EAR AND THEN ARE CARRIED TO THE BRAIN BY THE AUDITORY NERVE. BALANCE OR EQUILIBRIUM IS CONTROLLED ALSO BY THE INNER EAR. SMALL HAIRS AND FLUID IN THE INNER EAR STIMULATE THE AUDITORY NERVE TO HELP THE BRAIN MAINTAIN BALANCE. AS YOU AGE, THE STRUCTURES INSIDE THE EAR START TO CHANGE AS WELL. YOUR ABILITY TO PICK UP SOUNDS MAY DECREASE. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS MAINTAINING YOUR BALANCE AS YOU SIT, STAND OR WALK. DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE EXERCISES TO HELP WITH YOUR BALANCE AND EQUILIBRIUM? YOU CAN BUILD UP THE TOLERANCE IN YOUR BRAIN TO OVERCOME DIZZINESS THROUGH REGULAR EXERCISE. BY DOING VESTIBULAR EXERCISES REPETITIVELY, YOU CAN TRAIN THE BRAIN TO ADAPT. WE MUST SEEK OUT AND OVERCOME THE POSITIONS OR SITUATIONS WHICH CAUSE THE DIZZINESS. AVOIDING THEM WILL ONLY PROLONG AND BRING ON POTENTIALLY MORE ISSUES SUCH AS ISOLATION, DEPRESSION AND FALLS. VESTIBULAR EXERCISES WILL : TRAIN MOVEMENT OF THE EYES, INDEPENDENT OF YOUR HEAD PRACTICE BALANCE IN EVERYDAY SITUATIONS PRACTICE HEAD MOVEMENTS THAT CAUSE DIZZINESS BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO MOVING ABOUT NATURALLY IN THE DAYLIGHT AND IN THE DARK RE-BUILD CONFIDENCE IN MAKING EASY, RELAXED, SPONTANEOUS, MOVEMENTS. SO HOW DO YOU START THESE EXERCISES? PLEASE TALK TO YOUR WELLNESS DIRECTOR TO DISCUSS A PLAN WHICH COULD INCLUDE A PHYSICIAN S APPOINTMENT, A REFERRAL TO PHYSICAL THERAPY AND/ OR OUR WELLNESS AIDE PROGRAM. JANET L. HAYNES RN, VP OF CLINICAL SERVICES
