GHBC CONFIDANT PROGRAM Privacy laws prohibit GHBC staff from sharing protected health information about residents. In an effort to keep friends connected, the Resident Health Committee initiated the Resident Confidant Program several years ago. The program continues with support from the Social Worker for Residential Living as the designated staff liaisons. Each GHBC resident may designate a fellow in-house resident as their confidant. In the event of a hospitalization or relocation, the Reception Desk will contact the resident s designated confidant as soon as possible and between the hours of 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. While no action is required of the confidant, s/he will be notified as to your whereabouts. Please note that specific health information will not be shared. Confidant designation forms are available from all GHBC Social Workers. If you are interested in participating in the GHBC Confidant Program, please complete a confidant designation form and return the completed form to Social Work. If you currently participate in the Confidant Program, please use this notice as an opportunity to review your designation and make any necessary changes. If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth B. Dakin, LCSW, GHBC Social Worker at ext. 7225.
WEST WINDS July 25, 2016 Page 3 MATINEE: THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE PART 2- THE KENNEDYS The cult of Camelot is demystified in this fascinating PBS documentary featuring interviews with Kennedy family members and friends, archival footage, neverbefore-seen photographs and other documents. What comes across is a detailed portrait of a political dynasty that figured prominently in American history and continues to do so in the new millennium. The documentary includes an interview with historian Robert Dallek. Tuesday, July 26, at 2:00 p.m. in the Media Room. 60 minutes, 2012. WEDNESDAY EVENING MOVIE: MAIGRET For this week we've scheduled episode #16 of the Maigret detective series as made for French TV, Maigret's Mistake. A woman is found murdered on the third floor of a respectable building. Maigret's attention is focused on an indifferent character who lives on the floor above. We don't normally expect Maigret to make mistakes in his investigations, so what happened in this episode? Wednesday, July 27, at 7:15 p.m. in the Auditorium. 1994, 83 minutes, with English subtitles. SATURDAY EVENING MOVIE: HELLO MY NAME IS DORIS Inspired by insights gained through a self-help seminar, 60- year-old Doris Miller brazenly steps forward to pursue the affections of a much younger coworker -- and inadvertently becomes a hit with his hipster cohorts. Starring actress, Sally Field. Saturday, July 30, at 7:15 p.m. in the Auditorium. NOTES FOR THE WEEK Join us for SHINE in the Formal Parlor On Monday, July 25 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Residents attending the Annapolis Daytrip on Tuesday, July 26, at 10:00 a.m. should wear comfortable shoes and breathable clothing.

WEST WINDS July 25, 2016 Page 4 FROM THE ART CENTER Monday, July 25 10:00 a.m. Scratch Art Scratch art is a fun and dynamic activity using special layered papers and a scratching tool. Simply scratch the surface of the paper and a wide variety of colors are revealed under the surface. Create designs with amazing details and color! 1:00 p.m. Art Film The Running Fence Revisited This film documents the landmark outdoor artwork created by artist Christo in 1976.

Tuesday, July 26 10:00 a.m. Ceramics Come in and glaze the collaborative house project residents have been constructing over the last several weeks.

Wednesday, July 27 2:00 p.m. Scratch Art Collage Having practiced the techniques and nuances of scratch art boards over the last several days, we can incorporate them into small artistic collages using colored and textured papers. Thursday, July 28 2:00 p.m. Wood Carving Wood carving might sound difficult, but with the assistance of our expert wood carving teachers, Joel and Mike, it is a fun and rewarding endeavor! Learn several techniques that can be used in creating a variety of shapes and objects. Come see some of the amazing projects residents are currently working on. COMMUNITY CORNER Don Stanton, Colorado s gain is our loss! He will be missed! We have looked forward to his leading us, on a monthly basis, in very worthwhile discussions on the world of Current Events. His style of encouraging discussion, opinions, and personal experiences have led to a time of learning and sharing for most of us, unlike any we have ever experienced before, with a large group of our peers on a regular basis. He left us with a challenge that perhaps one or two of our residents would step up and continue to facilitate this type of a program which encourages participation and accepts the right of all to express their thoughts and opinions. If continued on a monthly basis, there would be time available for research and developing agendas. Any takers? Dottie Moser, Resident
