Tel Hai Retirement Community invites the community to attend an educational lecture and Spring Luncheon as we welcome international speaker and best selling author Stephen G. Post, Ph.D. as he presents “Hope and the Deeply Forgetful: Why We Care for People with Dementia” on Thursday, May 25, 2017 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at Tel Hai’s StoneCroft Center for Worship & Performing Arts.

Tickets are $40 per person and registration is required. Register online or call Alicia Guthrie, Tel Hai Office of Development, at 610-273-9333 ext. 2036 or aguthrie@telhai.org

As author of The Moral Challenge of Alzheimer Disease, Dr. Post provides thought provoking and useful information on major issues related to developmental cognitive disabilities and dementia. He offers a comprehensive picture of the Alzheimer’s patient, the caregiver, and the caregiving relationship, and presents a series of well-founded practical recommendations to the complexities of the disease and strategies for successful coping.

As the Director for the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics at Stony Brook University, Dr. Post is a researcher, leading expert, best-selling author, and transformative speaker on how caregivers find meaning and hope in caring for the deeply forgetful, and how positive psychology and spirituality enhance health.

“Society today is hypercognitive: it places inordinate emphasis on people’s powers of rational thinking and memory. Therefore, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, raise many dilemmas. How are we to view — and value — persons deprived of what some consider the most important human capacities?” poses Dr. Post.

He has been quoted in more than 3,000 national and international newspapers and magazines and has been interviewed on television and radio news shows, including National Public Radio (NPR), ABC 20/20, Nightline with John Stossel, The Daily Show with John Stewart, Talk of the Nation, The Mehmet Oz Show, and has even addressed the U.S. Congress.

His writing has resulted in conferences in seven countries and forty states as well as the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award from the national Alzheimer’s Association for his contributions to the lives of “the deeply forgetful” and their loved ones.

The luncheon menu will include an Asian-inspired chilled shrimp and noodle salad with ginger dressing; deconstructed gourmet Angus short rib burger presented with gruyere cheese, wild mushrooms, frizzled onions, and bordelaise sauce; and a mango, passion fruit, and raspberry sorbetto covered in white chocolate and drizzled with chocolate.

Event is hosted in the StoneCroft Center for Worship & Performing Arts, on the campus at Tel Hai, located at 4000 Tree Line Drive, Honey Brook. We are only 3 short miles east of Route 10 off Beaver Dam Road. Follow Beaver Dam Road to the campus of Tel Hai, then turn onto Tree Line Drive and follow signs to StoneCroft. Parking is available adjacent to the StoneCroft commons main entrance.

During National Nutrition Month^®, celebrated each March, the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics and Tel Hai Retirement Community encourages everyone to “Put Your Best Fork Forward” by making small, healthy shifts in food choices when cooking at home.

The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend making small changes to eating patterns to include healthier ingredients while cooking at home. Choosing a variety of healthful foods across and within all food groups helps reduce the risk of preventable, lifestyle-related chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Making dietary and lifestyle changes can help prevent diseases before they occur. During National Nutrition Month and beyond try to make small, healthier food choices – one forkful at a time.
Here are some suggestions, try to eat more of these foods:

• Vegetables, including dark green, red and orange, beans, peas and others
• Fruits, especially whole fruits
• Whole grains
• Fat-free or low-fat dairy including milk, yogurt, cheese and fortified soy beverages
• Protein foods including seafood, lean meats, poultry, nuts, soy products, beans and peas
• Oils including canola, corn, olive, peanut, sunflower and soy

To find a personalized plan that works best, consult with a registered dietitian nutritionist. RDNs can provide sound, easy-to-follow nutrition advice to meet your lifestyle, preferences and health-related needs.

Tel Hai Retirement Community invites the community to attend a ‘Meet the Artist’ Dessert Reception & Open House with professional artist Jen McCleary on Friday, January 27, 2017 from 1-3 PM in the StoneCroft Common’s Clark Gallery.

Join us for this free open house and reception, which is open to the public. Jen’s artwork is currently on display within the gallery through January 31, 2017. A portion of the proceeds from each piece of artwork sold goes to Tel Hai Retirement Community’s Care Assurance Fund for residents that outlive their ability to pay for their care.

Jen McCleary studied painting and printmaking (BFA) at Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA, and graphic design (Certificate) at University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA, as well as completing a custom interdisciplinary Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) at University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.

The roots of her art lie in the process of collecting images, ephemera, and found objects, which she layers, alters, or arranges to create something new. She works both digitally (photo-collage and graphic design) and in more traditional forms (mixed-media collage/painting and jewelry made from found and vintage objects). No matter the medium, she prefers to work intuitively, letting each piece evolve over time and in unexpected directions. Her work is more a form of meditation or playful exploration than a deliberate attempt at communicating a specific concept, although she does believe that images and objects can act as carriers of meaning and emotional resonance. She is interested in symbolism, wonder, hidden connections between things, the passage of time, imagined landscapes, ways of understanding the world, and dualities including the manmade vs. the natural worlds, light vs. dark (metaphorically and literally), and complexity vs. simplicity.

Event is hosted in the StoneCroft Common’s Clark Gallery, on the campus at Tel Hai, located at 4000 Tree Line Drive, Honey Brook. We are only 3 short miles east of Route 10 off Beaver Dam Road. Follow Beaver Dam Road to the campus of Tel Hai, then turn onto Tree Line Drive and follow signs to StoneCroft. Parking is available adjacent to the StoneCroft commons main entrance.

Tel Hai Retirement Community invites the community to attend a Tel Hai Life Enrichment Committee Event called “Cultural Differences: Inside & Out” with Dr. Beth Morling on Thursday, January 26 at 1:00 PM in the StoneCroft Center for Worship & Performing Arts. Join us for this free educational lecture. This event is open to the public.

Dr. Morling returns to Tel Hai for another enthralling lecture! She will provide an introduction to the discipline of cultural psychology, which is the study of how culture shapes human psychology. Cultural psychologists measure cultural difference both “inside the head” (at the level of individual people), and “outside the head,” by documenting culturally-different products, texts, or institutions.

Dr. Morling earned her B.A. in Psychology from Carleton College and her Ph.D. in social and personality psychology from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. She taught at liberal arts colleges (Union College and Muhlenberg College) before teaching at the University of Delaware. Throughout her career, she has focused on both classroom teaching and cultural psychology research. She regularly teaches courses on research methods, cultural psychology, the self-concept, and the teaching of psychology, and has published a textbook in research methods. Beth’s most recent scholarly research has focused on how culture shapes human motivation and social life, as well as where cultural differences are located and measured—whether within the person, or in cultural products such as media, texts, or buildings. She is a Fulbright scholar, having lectured and conducted research in Kyoto, Japan from 2010-11. She was the 2014 Delaware State Professor of the Year, an award from CASE and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Event is hosted in the StoneCroft Center for Worship & Performing Arts, on the campus at Tel Hai, located at 4000 Tree Line Drive, Honey Brook. We are only 3 short miles east of Route 10 off Beaver Dam Road. Follow Beaver Dam Road to the campus of Tel Hai, then turn onto Tree Line Drive and follow signs to StoneCroft.
