Do you know and love someone with dementia or Alzheimer's????
More than 5.4 million Americans are known to be living with Alzheimer's. Many more sufferers go undiagnosed. Alzheimer's is the sixth leading cause of death in our country and a leader in financial impact on families and friends as caregivers. On the second Wednesday of each month (starting April 13) at 1:00 in the Windsor Manor Activities Room, Sharon Carpenter will facilitate a support group for those who know and love those with these diseases. Maybe you just want more information on Alzheimer's, maybe you want help, maybe just a place to vent. Please come and let's see what support and services are available for YOU. If you have further questions or comments, please contact Sharon at scarpe6410@msn.com or her cell phone 319-573-5605.

Gloria McNaughton's Dream Takes Flight... Literally
 Last winter, the Team at Windsor Manor got together and asked residents about their dreams, with the goal to make them come true. “Windsor Manor’s philosophy revolves around quality of life and maintaining independence.” states Bethany Clemenson, Manager What better way to increase quality of life than to fulfill some dreams? After reviewing all the dreams an idea was born and that idea became the Operation Dream Builders program.
 The goal was set at one dream fulfilled each month. “Many of the dreams are really more of wishes or requests” says Clemenson. “One resident enjoys fresh flowers, so we have them delivered every 2 weeks. Another resident loves lemon meringue pie and so we make sure that he gets it specially made when he plays cards with his daughter.” The dreams vary from driving a tractor again or seeing family, to going on a train ride across Canada.
   
On Saturday April 17th at 9am, resident Gloria McNaughton had her dream fulfilled. Gloria used to have her pilots license and her dream was to go up in a plane again. Thanks to Mark and Kimberly Noe of Vinton, she was able to do this! Friends and family gathered at the Vinton Municipal Airport to see Gloria’s dream come to life.
Clemenson states, “You are never too old to dream. When people lose their dreams….they lose their zest for life. We want to keep those dreams alive. After all, Living life to the Fullest is what Windsor Manor is all about!.”
