NRC today SUMMER 2011 VOL. 3, NO. 3

From left: NRC Pastor Kristine Braaten-Lee with her parents, residents Pastor Arndt and Hazel Braaten. Braaten-Lee and NRC’s 19 area church partners help ensure that residents’ spiritual needs are met.

A Winning team for older Adults— Area Churches and NRC Northfield Retirement Community and Northfield/Cannon Valley area churches have been linked since NRC’s earliest days—even before the community opened its doors in 1969. The partnership began in 1962 when an exploratory committee was created. From the outset, NRC’s corporate church members have comprised the board of directors and standing

committees and served as delegates to the organization’s annual meetings. In this way, representatives of area churches help direct NRC’s programs and services, assist in strategic planning efforts, and uphold NRC’s mission and tradition of Christian service. The original corporation that founded Lutheran Home of the Cannon Valley, which now does business as Northfield Retirement Community, was established by eight church congregations—NRC’s original corporate churches—Bethel Lutheran, St. John’s Lutheran, St. Peter’s Lutheran—all of Northfield; Farmington Lutheran; Solor Lutheran, Webster; Trondhjem

Lutheran, Lonsdale; Christiania Lutheran, Lakeville; and Immanuel Lutheran in rural Northfield.* In 1971, Dennison Lutheran and Highview Christiania Lutheran in Farmington joined the corporate church ranks. NRC’s ecumenical spirit was born long ago when in 1972 our corporate church membership increased and brought into our organization the following Northfield churches—Church of St. Dominic, First United Church of Christ and Trinity Lutheran. In 1974, Northfield United Methodist became a member of the corporate church group. Ten years later, Emmaus Baptist, All Saints Episcopal and the Assembly of God‡, all of Northfield, became corporate churches along with St. John’s Lutheran in Webster and the Yoked Parish (Main Street Moravian, Little Prairie United Methodist and Castle Rock United Methodist).

rently the corporate church group includes the above mentioned churches with Main Street Moravian and Little Prairie United Methodist as separate congregations; plus St. Mark’s Lutheran in Randolph. Over the past two years, NRC has entered into the renewal of covenants with corporate churches. A large number of churches have completed the process of renewal, having signed a covenant that is individualized, listing specific ways the church will minister to seniors at NRC and ways NRC can serve older adults at the church. Other corporate churches are currently in the process of reviewing their outreach plans and refining their covenants. Each covenant states that the church and NRC enter into a covenant relationship with the understanding that the entities will work together to grow and enhance their ministries to older adults in the congregations and at NRC. The covenant emphasizes that it does not create formal, legal obligations, but rather is meant to reaffirm mutual Christian commitment and understanding about mutual mission to older persons.

Opportunities abound within the covenant relationship making it a win-win situation for churches and NRC. NRC may assist with employment opportunities, care and living services, outreach opportunities and advocacy for older adults; provide experts on aging to serve as speakers at church forums and space at NRC for meetings and classes; and serve as consultants in a variety of health care/senior care areas, etc. In turn, the congregations offer direction on NRC boards and committees, take part in volunteerism and mission outreach, provide financial support, and offer a variety of services within a senior ministry program. In recent years, many retirement communities that were originally affiliated with church entities have divested themselves of their church connections. Northfield Retirement Community has chosen to retain the corporate church structure, joining together with these churches to most effectively serve the needs of older adults and truly become a part of the Northfield/ Cannon Valley community. *Immanuel Lutheran closed two years later. ‡Northfield Assembly of God withdrew membership at a later date.

“Nursing Home” Becomes “Care Center” Nursing homes have changed a good deal over the past decade. The phrases “longterm care” and “nursing home” typically bring to mind visions of unwelcoming, regimented institutions with white tile floors and lime green lounge chairs. At Northfield Retirement Community’s Care Center, both our facilities and our approach are quite the opposite. We focus on rehab and recovery to meet the needs of a diverse population, which includes both young and elderly residents.

Today, new admissions generally fall into two categories: residents who only stay a few weeks for rehab before being discharged back home, or residents who don’t require expensive inpatient hospital services, but cannot be cared for at home through home health care, assisted living or other community services. Over the past few years the Northfield Care Center has embarked on a culturechange journey to meet the changing demographics and needs of the residents.

The federal Nursing Home Reform Law of 1987 (OBRA 87) requires that each nursing home “care for its residents in such a manner and in such an environment as will promote maintenance or enhancement of the quality of life of each resident.” This requirement emphasizes dignity, choice and self-determination for residents. We made changes aimed at de-institutionalizing the environment and transforming the nursing home from the traditional model to a more resident-centered model that achieves the objectives of the new law. continued on next page

Volunteer event Brings Youth and Residents together Northfield Retirement Community held its second youth volunteer event on Saturday June 25, 2011.

volunteers were presented certificates of appreciation and participated in a prize drawing.

In partnership with its Backyard Mission, “Christian Love in Action,” the goal of the event was to build strong bonds that will enrich the lives of both residents and volunteers. Community organizations, groups, youth and families were encouraged to participate.

NRC hopes to make this an annual tradition for youth groups to foster an intergenerational connection with residents, teach the value of volunteering and collaborate with different community organizations.

The youth volunteers had the opportunity to choose from a number of projects, including planting annuals in pots or planters, painting plant markers, and playing Wii or board games with residents from across our campus. Two local groups, Northfield in Bloom and Northfield Garden Club, made it possible for the youth volunteers to do some plant propagation, which they were then able to take home. The event ended with a short closing program, when the youth

such as nurse stations, resident lounges and dining rooms—in close proximity to the residents’ rooms. Residents truly participate in life at the Care Center, making decisions for themselves regarding dressing, dining, bathing and taking part in the functioning of the Care Center to the extent they wish to be involved.

Fifth Annual NRC Golf Classic Raises $15,000 Proceeds to Benefit Programs for Older Adults The 5th Annual NRC Golf Classic, held on June 6, was a resounding success, raising more than $15,000 for the NRC Foundation in support of special programs for the older adults NRC serves. Kyle Nordine, president and CEO of Northfield Retirement Community, said, “On behalf of Northfield Retirement Community, its board and staff, we thank the 5th Annual NRC Golf Classic Committee—Rick Moe, Jerry Kipp, Steve Meierbachtol, Mark Polzin, Tony Guth, Chris Sawyer, John Snodgrass, Tom Nielsen, Ingrid Anderson Sampo and Deborah Ward. Without them, this event would not have been possible. We are grateful for our major sponsors and hole sponsors who helped defray event expenses. And of course, special thanks to the golfers, prize donors, our board, volunteers and the Northfield Golf Club for contributing to the event’s success.” Major sponsors included New Horizon Foods, Inc., and U.S. Food Services. The event was financially supplemented by matching funds from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

Shady Cat is, well, a little shady, kinda seedy former fat-cat, who thinks he’s a real swingin’ cat. Resting on the laurels of bygone days, ever searching for easy street. Trouble is, he wants the cream without working the crop. You know the type... an over-inflated sense of entitlement. Half ‘victim’ / half blowhard. Then there’s Paisley. Now she’s a real sweetheart. A cool kitty with a soft heart, seeking meaning in her 9 lives, and love... Half wisdom / half naive. Bringing a little feline hijinks, these two will engage and keep Constance and Conrad on their hoof tips!
