Fish for Health
For many years, the American Heart Association has recommended eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids. That’s because omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to be beneficial for the heart. In fact, eating just two servings (3.5 oz.) of fish high in omega-3 fatty acids could reduce your risk of dying of heart disease. Did you know omega-3 fatty acids actually provide a number of health benefits in addition to reducing the incidence of heart disease? Here are some of the many additional benefits: Decreases triglycerides Lowers blood pressure Reduces blood clotting Decreases risk of stroke Reduces irregular heartbeats

Tips to
&
hire
SENIOR LIVING
train for Success
Christy Edwards, RDN, CD, Martin Bros. Wisconsin Marketing Dietitian
Hiring the right employee for your Senior Living Community is key to the success of your organization. Each person you hire should bring value toward your company mission and a true passion for the job. Here are 4 Hiring Tips to help you find the right person:
Here are 4 Training Tips to help you keep the right person:
1
How engaged is the applicant in the interview? If the applicant isn’t engaged in the interview, chances are he or she will not be engaged when serving residents.
1
A new employee needs to feel connected and engaged right from the start. Give the employee a chance to hear and experience the overall functioning, vision and mission of the community.
2
Do you sense a passion for helping seniors and a passion for serving appealing and tasty meals? Passion for the job is very important to look for.
2
3
Is there a willingness to learn? An applicant may have 35 years of experience, but is the person excited to learn more? Even if the applicant lacks experience, if he or she is engaged, positive and looking to learn more, that might outweigh the experience.
Connect the new employee with others. Introduce him or her to staff members and residents. Consider a welcome lunch or other opportunities for the new hire to meet others. Set him or her up with a mentor.
3
Set expectations. Review the job description, responsibilities and performance goals. Discuss how performance reviews occur and any reward or recognition programs.
4
How do you think the applicant might take criticism? Being able to handle criticism and learn from it is an important trait to look for in a potential employee.
4
Have a standard training program to make sure all new employees are trained appropriately.

EQUI PM ENTA N D SUPPL I ES
STAGES & TIPS
Trusted Brand Feature: Oneida Your fine silver plate and stainless flatware and hollowware will give you extra-long service and will always look great when properly cared for during the four stages of use and care. Following are some tips for each of the stages.
1 2
HANDLING Use perforated cylinders in a portable rack to transport, wash and dispense flatware. Sort flatware tines, bowls and blades down when flatware is transported and washed in the same cylinder. This prevents contamination when the items are removed for setting tables. Sort up when using a system where the flatware is transferred from a cleaning cylinder to a storage cylinder by inversion. Separate flatware, holloware and china in bus trays.
WASHING Remove all remnants of food from metalware immediately after use. Avoid using steel wool or metal scrapers. Always separate flatware and holloware for pre-soaking and use a plastic or stainless steel pan, never aluminum. Pre-soak and wash metalware immediately after its removal from the table. Do not leave metalware in the pre-soak solution for more than 20 minutes before it is washed. Change the pre-soak solution after two or three cycles of use. Chemicals accumulate in the pre-soak and may cause harm. Do not use a pre-soak solution containing acidic silver de-tarnishing agents, including chlorides, bromides or iodides, as these products cause severe corrosion.

Always wash metalware in hot water and make sure to use a cleaning agent free of abrasive or corrosive qualities that may damage your metalware. Load washing machine with the openings of hollow pieces facing down.
3
Avoid low-temperature dishwashing. It is not suited for metalware.
RINSING Always rinse clean metalware in water that’s at least 180º. Consider adding a wetting agent to the rinse to prevent minerals in the waterfrom staining your metalware. Utilize a softener if you have very hard water. A high chloride content in the water can be damaging.
4 14
STORING Always make sure your metalware is clean and dry before storing to avoid corrosion and oxidation marks.

MEDICATION MANAGEMENT & RECONCILIATION: Not Just a Drug List
Skincare Products For Winter
Skin Care Cream Lotion (040740 – 24/8.5 oz) (040770 – 4/1 gal)
Justin Rash, PharmD, CGP, Martin Health Services
While medications are important for the treatment of patients, many can have adverse effects if mismanaged. Some of these effects can be serious enough to lead to hospitalizations. Therefore, it is especially important to understand how to properly manage patients’ medication regimens.
Vanilla Bean Cream Lotion (040880 – 24/8.5 oz) (040900 – 4/1 gal)
One of the times patients are most vulnerable to medication mismanagement is during transitions of care. It is during this time that we must have a robust medication reconciliation process in place in order to avoid potential adverse effects. The medication reconciliation process is often defined in the following 5 steps: 1. Develop a list of current medications. 2. Develop a list of medications to be prescribed. 3. Compare the medications on the two lists. 4. Make clinical decisions based on the comparison. 5. Communicate the new list to appropriate caregivers and to the patient.
Melon Breeze Conditioning Shampoo & Body Wash (040720 – 24/8.5 oz) (040730 – 4/1 gal)
Many health systems utilize clinical pharmacists in the medication reconciliation process, and there are numerous studies demonstrating improved outcomes when utilizing pharmacists versus other health care professionals. However, hiring a clinical pharmacist may not be feasible for some long term care facilities. Instead, facilities might look to engage their pharmacy providers. Making the medication reconciliation process a priority in your facility and engaging your pharmacy provider can be an important step to improving the lives of patients and residents.
