All smiles as ‘most vulnerable population’ begins COVID-19 vaccinations By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

A CVS Health Pharmacy team member administers the COVID-19 vaccine to Tracey Borges, executive director of Brighton Gardens of Edison, on Dec. 28.
ecember 28, 2020, marks a day of celebration as the state’s most vulnerable population – those living and working in long-term care facilities – started to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. “It’s a day when significant scientific accomplishments of two vaccines available in less than a year should be rejoiced, and a start of a new year in our journey of our hope against this virus,” State Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave emergency use approval to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Dec. 11 and the Moderna vaccine on Dec. 18. Persichilli, along with Gov. Phil Murphy, witnessed members of a local CVS Health Pharmacy team administer the first doses of the Pfizer vaccine to enthusiastic recipients at the Roosevelt Care Center in Old Bridge in the early morning hours of Dec. 28. The recipients included residents Mildred Clements, 103, Rosemary Connolly, 92, and Charles Bianco, 87; along with staff members at the nursing home, Esther Moodey, a registered nurse and subacute unit manager, Stella Jeron, a registered nurse and assistant director of nursing, and Jill Strus, who works as an accountant. “I got vaccinated because I want my family to be here with me to celebrate my next birthday,” Clements said. Connolly said she looks “forward to embracing my family once again.” And Bianco said he got vaccinated because he has “a lot to live for and this vaccine makes it possible.” Moodey said 2020 has been a challenging year for all in health care on many levels. “During the first wave of this pandemic, we battled through exhaustion, uncertainty, sadness and fear. We saw the numbers rise, fall and rise again,” she said. “All these months later we continue to work tirelessly to protect and care for our vulnerable residents and help them stay connected.” As frontline healthcare workers and as mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, sisters and brothers, friends and caretakers, Moodey said they need to stay healthy for
everyone’s sake. “I’m thankful to God for the COVID-19 vaccine and honored to be the first staff member in our facility to receive it today in solidarity with colleagues in other long-term care facilities around New Jersey,” she said. “The vaccine brings hope and optimism about the future and promise of a new normal.” After the vaccinations, Persichilli and Murphy addressed the public in attendance. They were joined by Moodey, CVS Health Regional Director Kat Kingston; State Senator Sam Thompson (R-12); Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios; H. James Polos, executive director of the Middlesex County Improvement Authority; Old Bridge Mayor Owen Henry; and Andrew Aronson, director of Nursing Home Advocates of New Jersey. “This is a great example how the fight against this [novel coronavirus] has united both public and private sectors, folks from across the aisle on common ground,” Murphy said. “What we’re witnessing here in New Jersey is happening in dozens of other states across the nation. Long-term care facilities across the entire nation and certainly here have been crushed by COVID-19. They have borne an outsized burden of this pandemic and as I have said many times while we know we are not alone given the toll on long-term care residents and staff nationwide, we’re not going to just sit back and be part of the pack, we’re going to break out, move forward and provide solutions that conserve as national models.” Murphy said the state took a proactive risk to broaden their vaccination application to include long-term care and congregate living facilities. The governor said the few day wait to administer the vaccine allowed the state to enter the Federal Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program, a partnership between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), CVS and Walgreens to facilitate on-site COVID-19 vaccination services. Through the federal program, New Jersey already has 291 long-term care facilities scheduled and more than 83,000 residents and staff slated to receive vaccinations through the beginning of February, (Continued on page 6)

ver evolving its testing methods with the needs of the community, Middlesex County has launched mobile testing clinics for COVID-19 in Thompson Park in Monroe as part of the county’s ongoing effort to provide Middlesex County residents free access to COVID-19 testing. “Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Middlesex County has worked hard to ensure that all county residents have safe, convenient access to COVID-19 testing,” Middlesex County Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios said in a prepared statement. “The county’s testing plan has continuously evolved to meet the needs of the community by providing drive-thru testing for residents in suburban areas and walk-up testing for residents who live in urban areas or who may not own a vehicle.” Residents can find a schedule of testing dates at drive-thru, walk-up and mobile clinics; and information on testing on the Public Safety & Health webpage. To schedule an appointment, call 732-7453100 or visit Middlesexcountynj.gov/covid19testing. Testing is free for Middlesex County residents.
This multi-faceted approach to COVID-19 testing includes not only the types of testing facilities available to county residents, but also the type of COVID-19 test. As a result of the county’s partnership with Rutgers University, RWJBarnabas Health, and Accurate Diagnostic Labs, Middlesex County was the first in the nation to offer COVID-19 testing using saliva-based methods, according to the statement. Saliva-based COVID-19 tests are considered less invasive than nasal swab tests and, therefore. may be preferable to some residents. “Efficient and accurate testing is crucial to mitigating the spread of this potentially deadly virus,” Freeholder Shanti Narra, chair of the Health and Human Services Committee, said in the statement. “These new mobile testing clinics will allow us to bring free COVID-19 testing directly to various municipalities throughout Middlesex County, helping ensure that every resident who needs a COVID-19 test can get one in a timely manner.” The county’s COVID-19 testing

Woodbridge native celebrates 100th birthday amid pandemic By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer
W
hen Amy Aaroe was 8 years old, she asked her mother an inquisitive question after realizing people pass away. Her mom, Emma Aaroe, told her daughter not to worry about her. “I’m going to live to 103,” Emma Aaroe told her daughter. This year, she is close to reaching the age she told her daughter. On Dec. 27, Emma Aaroe celebrated her 100th birthday with a small celebration in her room at Whispering Knoll Assisted Living facility in Edison with cupcakes and birthday cards. Because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the family was not able to get together. The Whispering Knoll staff shared the milestone celebration through videos and pictures with the family. “It’s sad this year of all years, we can’t really see her,” Amy Aaroe said, noting her mom suffers from severe dementia. Emma Aaroe was born in Paterson. She was a preemie, born two months early at three pounds. She was the first child born to Edwin and Emma Earley. She became the eldest of four siblings. “[My mom’s] grandmother created an incubator out of a laundry basket,” Amy Aaroe said of how her mother survived an early birth. In 1929, the family moved to Woodbridge and lived in a home near St. James Catholic Church on Grenville Street. It was a rough time: Emma Aaroe’s father was a World War II veteran who served in France, and there was baggage from the Depression in 1929. When the family moved to Woodbridge, Edwin Earley took

on various jobs. Despite rough times, Emma Aaroe shared stories of wonderful times growing up in Woodbridge, from walking to school No. 1, which is Mawbey Street School, and School No. 11, which is Ross Street School, and spending time with girlfriends. “She said School No. 11 was her favorite because it was built the same year she was born,” Amy Aaroe recalled her mother sharing. “Life was tough, but my mom’s mother made sure the family never went hungry and they stayed safe and warm.” After high school, Emma Aaroe learned secretarial skills and got a job at Prudential Insurance in Newark. She rode the bus from Perth Amboy to work. “There she met and got to know my father, Don,” Amy Aaroe said. “He worked

in a mailroom in New York City. He was two years older than her.” Amy Aaroe said her mother’s family did not have a phone, so her father left a message in chalk of what time he would pick her up for their date on Main Street near the train station. After going steady, Donald “Don” Aaroe joined the U.S. Navy in 1941 during World War II. “When he was stationed in the South Pacific, they did not see each other for three-and-a-half years,” Amy Aaroe said. “My dad wrote letters to my mom and had sent an engagement ring from San Francisco. In a letter, he wrote when he got home they would get married and he would build a house for them to live there forever. Her response was ‘I’ll be on the dock in a white satin veil.’ “ Donald and Emma Aaroe married Oct. 27, 1945. Amy Aaroe said she learned this from stories from her mom. She said her parents unfortunately had burned their letters because they felt it was just between

them and too personal to share. Just as he promised in his letters, Don Aaroe built a Cape Cod-style house on Elmwood Avenue for Emma which is where they raised their children, Amy and Chris. Don Aaroe worked with his father as a carpenter and in 1963 he was hired as supervisor of new construction by the Woodbridge Board of Education and retired in 1983 as supervisor of Building and Grounds. Emma Aaroe was a stay-at-home mom. Don and Emma Aaroe lived in the house together until Don passed away in 2009 at the age of 91. Emma stayed in the house until she moved to Whispering Knoll in 2018. “My mom and dad lived a good, good life together. They loved one another dearly,” Amy Aaroe said. “They traveled to many places in the United States and overseas and were members of First Presbyterian Church of Woodbridge.” Amy Aaroe said her mother’s dementia is heartbreaking. She said the last time the family – who includes her daughter and her brother Chris, his wife, their daughter, as well as two grandchildren – were together for Christmas, her mother wasn’t able to recognize who they were. “She knows we are people who love her,” she said. “There are two generations she doesn’t remember at all … it’s very sad.” The Aaroes’ history growing up and living in Woodbridge Township is preserved through an oral history interview in 2009 through the township’s oral history project.

here is one teacher employed by the Middlesex County Vocational and Technical Schools who doesn’t work on one of the five campuses. She teaches at the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center in North Brunswick. “Of all the jobs I’ve had, this one fulfills me best,” said Lisa DiLeo, who has been teaching at the county jail since 2007. “I’ve had a lot of success with the inmates because I really care about them succeeding. Basically I’ll do anything I can to help them.” DiLeo deals with 60 to 70 inmates – both male and female – at any given time, teaching all of the basic high school subjects – reading, writing, math, social studies – to get them ready to take a high school equivalency exam, or just for enrichment. She has experience as a school psychologist and as a psychologist in a mental health facility. “Those experiences really helped me to deal with these people,” she said. “It’s a really good program,” said Dawn Lystad, MCVTS director of adult education. “It’s really good to provide
this service for the inmates. It’s one step toward their futures.” Each inmate in the program is tested to see what level he or she should be in. Some inmates can be taught in small groups, but many have to be dealt with individually. “Each person is so different it has to be individualized,” she said, noting that a key to success is earning the trust of her students. “I try to tell them that I’m there to help them. “It’s important for them to tell me what they don’t understand. I don’t embarrass them and I don’t let them embarrass each other. I really enjoy working with people to give them confidence to know they can succeed. I don’t get angry or impatient. I try to break it down to see where they’re not thinking straight,” she said. DiLeo said she believes many of the inmates started down the wrong path because of lack of success in school. Some of her students have committed very serious crimes and will eventually be sent to state prison. When the GED exam is administered at the jail – she said there is a success rate

s the temperature drops, aches and pains become a frequent occurrence. Without proper warm up and stretching, activities like snow shoveling and even prolonged standing can trigger low back pain, knee pain and other injuries. It is important to remember that blood flow to muscles and joints decreases as a direct result of reduced activity. In addition,
the abundance of food during the holidays results in weight gain for most individuals. Therefore, it is crucial to stay active, keep the blood circulation going, and burn extra calories during the winter. It is common knowledge that physical therapy helps in the treatment of injuries, but did you know that injury prevention becomes crucial during the winter? A single appointment with your physical therapist has the potential to help you enjoy a happy, healthy, and injury-free holiday season.
Injury Prevention 101 During the Winter If you are going to be lifting and moving things, shoveling snow, or engaging in other forms of exercise, make sure to warm up and stretch before you begin. Start slowly and maintain the right posture as you increase the intensity of exercise over 10-15 minutes. Take short breaks and give your muscles and joints a chance to “adjust” to the task. Your physical therapist will suggest that you use your knees rather

than your lower back to lift heavy objects, avoid twisting movements, and breathe normally at all times. Hold heavy objects close to the body to reduce strain on the lumbar spine. The feet should be kept wide apart to increase the base of support, and the knees must be slightly bent. Use your entire body to move objects rather than twisting your back. If you are shoveling snow, you must avoid twisting motions of the lower back, such as

with more sites to be added in the coming weeks. There are 655 long-term care facilities in the state. “We have implemented both through direct action and partnership with our legislative partners countless short, medium and long-term solutions to the systemic shortcomings this pandemic has exposed and laid bare,” Murphy said. “Our goal has consistently been to not just meet the current challenges, but to ensure both high quality care and the safety of residents and staff going forward. That is why seeing these vaccines being administered here today is such a tremendous moment, it is a big step toward that goal. Vaccination is not just about ending this pandemic, it’s a step towards a stronger and more resilient future, a step towards allowing residents here to once again be able to see and hold their loved ones and that day will come.” Persichilli said in New Jersey and across the nation, the COVID-19 virus has had a devastating effect on residents and staff in long-term care facilities. “This virus continues to be unrelenting,” she said. “The virus continues to enter our facilities with over 400 reporting outbreaks. The issues we faced in longterm care challenged us at the department to examine ways to improve the resiliency of this industry.” The state Department of Health (DOH) has developed a comprehensive testing plan for staff and residents and recently conducted a pilot to study the incidents of asymptomatic spread in long-term care facilities. Approximately 2.7 million tests have been performed in facilities across the state.

throwing snow behind you over the shoulder. With the right combination of breathing, warm up, and proper technique, you can reduce the probability of injury significantly. If you have aches and pains that get worse during the winter, it may be time to see a physical therapist. Your therapist will assess your current activity levels and functional limitations. The therapist will discuss your short term and long term goals. All this information will be used to devise a plan of action to treat the underlying cause of pain as quickly as possible. It is important to maintain strength and stability in the muscles of the torso and lower back, especially during the winter. As the snow melts to ice, the risk of slips and falls increases. Maintaining and improving balance and stability, especially for seniors, is an important part of physical therapy and wellness. We can educate you and your family about proper techniques to maintain posture, to improve balance, and to prevent injuries. Some simple prevention techniques, combined with good old fashioned common sense, will help you enjoy a healthy
and happy holiday season. Winter is associated with a surge in the number of persons visiting the emergency room for snow shoveling and fall-related injuries, which is why prevention is so important. As your physical therapists, we can help you stay safe and healthy. Give yourself (and your family) the gift of health and wellness. Contact us to learn more about how physical therapy can change your life this holiday season. Back pain and other common conditions can be successfully treated with physical therapy. Remember, you do not need a physician’s prescription to start physical therapy. Call our office today to schedule your free consultation.

In May, the state issued an executive directive requiring all facilities to post their outbreak plans including infection prevention, cohorting and isolating practices. The state also has provided $78 million to improve the wages of certified nurse aides. In October, Murphy signed bills requiring staff to patient ratios and policies to prevent social isolation during an outbreak. The DOH has established the office of long-term care resiliency and set up an emergency operation center. The center serves as a centralized command, communication center to immediately respond to any issues and challenges from the second wave of the virus. Additionally, the department has mandated every facility have an infection preventionist on staff and also report staff illnesses and staff quarantine statuses. “The introduction of this vaccine will now supplement our responses to this deadly virus,” Persichilli said. “Overall in New Jersey we hope to vaccinate 70% of the eligible adult population in a six month period.

Tips for managing lower back pain id you know that roughly 80% of adults experience lower back pain at some point during their life-
times? According to Sagar Parikh, M.D., an interventional pain medicine specialist at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, common causes of back pain include: • Lower back strain • Arthritis • Degenerative disc disease • Improper spine alignment and stability • Herniated disc • Radiculopathy or sciatica (pain from the back radiating down the leg) • Spinal stenosis • Fracture • Other causes related to the musculoskeletal system (the body’s form, support, stability and movement mechanisms) Dr. Parikh advises the following six
tips for patients dealing with lower back pain at home: • Limit your bed rest. If you have lower back pain, Dr. Parikh recognizes that a person’s first instinct may be to lay in bed or sitting for long periods of time. “This does more harm than good, though,” he said. “This can lead to serious stiffness and a long-term increase in pain.” In fact, he notes that prolonged bed rest can amount to loss of about 1% of muscle strength each day. “The sooner you start moving or even engaging in light to moderate exercise, the faster you may improve overall.” • Get active. Maintaining physical activity is essential to treating and/or preventing back pain. “At the most basic level, that means standing, walking and limiting sitting/lying down throughout the day,” he said. “But if you want to take it to the next level
and push your body, try incorporating aerobic activity like jump roping, jogging, dancing (Zumba) or even kickboxing.” • Apply ice or heat therapy. According to Dr. Parikh, heat therapy tends to help relax muscle tissue and relieve back pain. “That being said, though, many patients need to take a personalized approach to heat or ice with respect to their pain complaints,” he said. • Stretch. “This one is a bit tricky as stretching is extremely specific to each patient,” Dr. Parikh said, “but if you were given specific stretches to do daily by your physical therapist or trainer, make sure that you are taking the time to do this.” • Be mindful of what you’re eating. Excess weight around the mid-section can be especially strenuous for your lower back. Some foods to avoid over eating would include sugary drinks, processed
snacks (potato chips) and baked goods, high-fat dairy products (ice cream), constant take-out from restaurants and fried food. • Improve your posture. “This is a simple but very important way to keep the back and spine healthy,” Dr. Parikh said. Some simple techniques include: • Being mindful of sitting up straight when standing or sitting (and avoiding that slouch) • Keeping a pillow or rolled-up towel placed behind the lower back while sitting • Keeping feet elevated on a low stool or a stack of books to relieve pressure from the back during prolonged periods of sitting • Switching sitting positions often and periodically If you are dealing with back pain, visit HackensackMeridianHealth.org/BackRehab or call 732-897-BACK (2225).

we must all remain vigilant.” The residents and staff at Brighton Gardens of Edison shared similar sentiments felt at Roosevelt Care Center as they started to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination through CVS Health on Dec. 28. “We’re all smiles today,” said Tracey Borges, executive director of Brighton Gardens of Edison, as she geared up for the vaccine. “We’re so grateful for the strength and positivity our residents have shown over the past nine months and for the support and words of encouragement we’ve received from our families during a very challenging year.” Borges said she received the vaccine

so she “can help protect this community, as well as my family and friends from this virus.” Data from a recent survey of more than 8,000 Sunrise residents and families revealed 92% of respondents will probably or definitely receive the vaccine for themselves or their loved one. Sue Coppola, a registered nurse and chief clinical officer for Sunrise Senior Living, which operates Brighton Gardens of Edison, said the vaccination process is the beginning of their journey back to normalcy. She said the journey has included an education component through the CDC and local health departments leading up to the approval of the vaccinations for their residents and staff members. It also includes support of any concerns residents and staff may have. As of Dec. 10, Sunrise operates 336 ing them in person,” she said.

The communities in Middlesex and Monmouth counties include Sunrise of East Brunswick, Brighton Gardens of Edison, Sunrise of Lincroft, Sunrise of Shrewsbury and Sunrise of Wall. CVS Health Regional Director Kat Kingston said CVS Health is a team of health care professionals made up of pharmacists, nurse practitioners and license pharmacy technicians. “Our work here in New Jersey administering this vaccine has been the culmination of months of internal planning and really demonstrates how the private sector can use its expertise to help us solve some of our most critical challenges,” she said. “We are really grateful for the herculean efforts of everyone that’s been involved and especially our healthcare professionals that are deployed here today and through-

out the country to start to bring some peace of mind to these long-term care facilities residents and staff.” Further, Kingston said, “Vaccinating one of our most vulnerable populations is the latest milestone in our multi-faceted pandemic response, which has included testing more than 10 million people for the virus since March.” “Availability and administration of the COVID- 19 vaccines will bring us one step closer to overcoming the most significant health challenge of our entire life-time,” she said. Murphy said officials believe the general public will have access to the vaccinations by April and May.

Novenas PRAYER IS POWERFUL Oh, most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine of splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother. Oh, Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this petition. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my Mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse in thee (3Xs). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3Xs). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. + Say this prayer 3 consecutive days and publish prayer after petition is granted. Do not despair. Additional advice and petition. Pray the Rosary regularly. F.A.M.
