Community Announcements (10.11.13): 1. The date for the Pet Committee’s Baked Potato Bar was incorrect in the newsletter.  Please note that it is on Thursday, October 24th from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. (This has been corrected in the newsletter as well.) 2.Thank you to ALL who helped the West Ridge Memory Walkers team in anyway to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association.  To date, our team has raised $1,391.50!  The walk is done but online donations can still be made for an individual walker or the team.

West Ridge Rehabilitation and Care Center in Cedar Rapids recently received approval from the State of Iowa to provide Outpatient Therapy Services to patients who complete their rehabilitation through West Ridge’s short-term residential skilled care and therapy program. “Patients often ask our therapists ‘can you follow me home and do my therapy?’” says Richard Curphey, Administrator at West Ridge, “With this new designation our physical, occupational and speech therapists can help see the healing process through, from start to finish.” West Ridge Rehabilitation and Care Center provides skilled care, rehabilitation and short and long term care, including dementia care to Elders. They are the only Eden Alternative registered facility in the Corridor, a philosophy committed to preserving the dignity of life through interaction, integration of nature, pets and strong relationships.
