Annual Golf Tournament to Benefit JCH&L

June 20, 2018/by Lana Likens

FAIRBURY – The 22nd annual golf tournament to benefit Jefferson Community Health & Life has been set for Friday, Aug. 10, at the Fairbury Country Club.

The three-person scramble will begin with a shotgun start at 8:45 a.m. The 18-hole tournament will feature cash prizes along with pin prizes.

The entry fee is $225 per team. The field is limited to a maximum of 32 teams. Each golfer will receive continental breakfast (available at 7:45 a.m.), lunch, a gift, mulligans, and the opportunity for pin prizes. A raffle will also be available for those who choose to donate.

Hole sponsorships are also available. Sponsorship is $475 and entitles the sponsor to recognition at the hole sponsored and on the tournament program, and one team entry.

Tournament proceeds are not designated to specific projects, and have been used for a variety of projects at Jefferson Community Health & Life over the years. Most recently, nearly $50,000 in undesignated funds were used for new weight equipment in JCH&L Burkley Fitness Center, and more than $200,000 in undesignated funds were used to help purchase a new X-ray machine which is safer, faster, more efficient and more comfortable for patients.

Jefferson Community Health & Life includes a family medicine clinic, a  17-bed Critical Access Hospital, a 40-bed long-term care, and a community fitness center, in addition to a broad range of services and educational opportunities. Our mission is to inspire healthy living by providing exceptional health and life services for every person, every time.

Progressive Ag Safety Day Planned for July 24

June 15, 2018/by Lana Likens

FAIRBURY – Registration forms are now available for the 21st annual Progressive Ag Safety Day in Jefferson County, set for Tuesday, July 24. The mission of Safety Day is to provide education, training and resources to make life safer and healthier for children and their communities.

It’s not only for “farm kids,” said coordinator Lana Likens.

Sessions include both agricultural-related safety sessions—such as grain safety or equipment safety; and non-agricultural-related safety session—such as lawn mower safety, and nutrition.

“Each year we try to have a few agriculture-related topics and many topics appropriate for all children,” Likens said. “We rotate topics from year to year and demonstrate them in different ways so if children participate year after year they can learn about many different topics, and some of the same topics in new and different ways.”

Many businesses and organizations have supported Progressive Ag Safety Day in the past 20 years.

The local committee gives parents this important message: We cannot accident-proof any child, but we certainly hope the lessons learned at Progressive Ag Safety Day provide a great foundation to making wise decisions and good choices.”

Registration forms will be available soon, at Jefferson Community Health & Life and the Jefferson County Extension office.

For more information contact Lana Likens at 402-729-6855, or the Jefferson County Extension Office at 402-729-3487.

JCH&L Gardenside Earns 5 Star Rating Again

June 11, 2018/by Lana Likens

FAIRBURY – Jefferson Community Health & Life Gardenside has once again received a 5 Star Rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. Gardenside has been a 5-star facility since the program began.

Nursing Home Compare and the star rating system allow consumers to compare information about nursing homes. It contains quality of care and staffing information for all 15,000 plus Medicare- and Medicaid-participating nursing homes. Facilities are assigned star ratings from a high of 5 stars to a low of 1 star based on health inspection surveys, staffing information and quality of care measures. The ratings are publicly available on the agency’s Nursing Home Compare website at

www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare. In May, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released the new data.

“We are pleased to remain a 5-Star facility, even though we know it has become more difficult to receive the top rating,” said Deb Sutton RN, administrator of JCH&L Gardenside. “All of our staff members work very hard to provide the best quality of care for our residents. We are pleased to know that our care for our residents is reflected in our ratings through Nursing Home Compare.”

For this reporting period, JCH&L Gardenside is 5 Star five strong, Sutton said, meaning ratings in all four areas measured were five stars, in addition to the overall rating being five start.

 

JCH&L Gardenside has been providing long-term care to area residents since 1963. Currently, Gardenside is licensed for 40 beds, and has one Hospice room available. Gardenside has a resident dog, Tia; an aviary; and a variety of activities in which residents can participate including organized activities in the evenings and on weekends.

Gardenside prides itself on having a homelike environment, and being a small, family-oriented care facility. Three enclosed courtyards provide outdoor space for residents and their families to enjoy. Family members are invited to take part in activities, and special celebrations are planned periodically which include family members.

“What really sets us apart and makes our facility special is our wonderful staff,” Sutton said. “Their hard work, dedication and care for our residents truly makes us a five-star facility.”

The Nursing Home Compare statistics can be accessed by going to www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare and selecting Gardenside LTC-JCHC.
