Message from
Bryce McBain
Residents, Families, and Team Members,
Our Recreation Team and others worked very hard to see many
people in our village get into the spirit of things in March.
Thank you to all those fans of the leprechaun who helped to make
our village ‘green’ and organized festivities in celebration of St.
Patrick’s Day.
We hope April marks the end of our flu season.
In March, unfortunately we had an enteric outbreak in our Nichol
LTC Neighbourhood. We thank everyone in the village for being
diligent at proper hand washing, and taking extra care to clean/
sanitize. As a result, we were able to contain our outbreak to one
neighbourhood; a noble feat.
We are happy to report that we have recently made better progress
on our Memory Care Retirement Neighbourhood renovation and
our residents are back dining in their renewed open concept
dining room.
We had the first of our enhanced orientation for new team
members. We are confident that our commitment to a greater
investment in new team members will help us continue to provide
the highest quality of care to our residents.
We know that many of you were glad to see the last day of winter
pass, look forward to the warmer weather, and to getting out
walking in spring. We encourage everyone to make more time
now to get out and walk for a healthier you!
I hope that you enjoy this edition of our Village of Riverside Glen
newsletter.
Warmest regards,
Bryce McBain

Residents, Families, and Team Members:
March seems to be a long month and this one has seemed particularly
long with such cold temperatures. In the same way, the season of Lent can
seem long as we do a great deal of self-examination; maybe putting "to
death" some habits that are not life-giving and planting seeds of new
life. As we come into April we come immediately into Holy Week,
remembering the last days of Jesus' life into His death and resurrection. To
remember that time there will be a special Good Friday service on Friday,
April 3 at 2:30 in the Town Hall. Easter Sunday service will be in Long Term
Care at 10:30am, and there will be an Easter Communion Service on
Wednesday, April 8 at 2:30 in the Town Hall.
Please note that instead of the normal church service on Wednesday,
April 15, there will be a grief workshop from 2-4 in the Town Hall. This is
for residents, families, and staff. See the notice in this newsletter as well as
posters throughout the village. Whether you have experienced a recent
death of a family or friend, this workshop may help you understand and
learn from the experiences of grief.
A Blessed Easter Season to All,

Sun downing
What is sundowning?
Sundowning is a symptom that can show up in people who have dementia. When someone becomes confused, anxious, aggressive,
agitated, or restless consistently later in the day (usually late afternoon or early evening), this is called sundowning. It is thought that
sundowning can be a problem for as many as 66% of people with dementia. Sundowning often affects the person’s quality of life and
it can be exhausting for the caregiver.
Behaviours associated with sundowning
Becoming demanding or aggressive
Experiencing delusions and hallucinations.
Pacing or wandering
Doing impulsive things
Attempting to leave home
Having difficulty understanding others
Having difficulty doing tasks that were done without difficulty earlier in the day
What causes sundowning?
A variety of events or issues can trigger sundowning. These include:
Being tired at the end of day (can lead to an inability to cope with stress)
Low lighting and more shadows (can create confusion and hallucinations, especially with common objects that look different when it
is darker)
Disruption of the Circadian cycle (sleep/wake pattern) because of the dementia (the person cannot distinguish day from night)
Not as much or no activity in the afternoon compared to the morning (can lead to restlessness later in the day)
Responding to sundowning
Finding a way to respond to sundowning may take some trial and error. Every person is different and may react differently. Some
strategies to try are:
See if the behaviour is being caused by discomfort (hunger, need to use the toilet, pain).
Allow for rest and naps between activities.
Avoid making appointments, bathing, or other potentially stressful activities in the late afternoon or evening.
Prevent over-stimulation from the television or radio, which can lead to increased confusion.
Provide adequate lighting to lessen shadows when it begins to get dark.
A rocking chair can provide stimulation while having a calming effect.
Brisk walks or other forms of physical activity throughout the day may reduce restlessness.
Keep them active and distracted when sundowning may occur (for example, setting the table for dinner).
Restrict the amount of caffeine and sugar they have in the morning.
Maintain a regular eating and sleep schedule as much as possible.
It may be helpful to keep a daily journal to pinpoint the causes of sundowning symptoms and see which strategies help.
Familiar routines may help him feel more secure. They can include readying the home for evening (closing curtains, turning on lights)
or bedtime routines that include warm milk and soft music.
Change sleeping arrangements, for example, adding a night light to the room or leaving a door open.

A note from your
Kinesiologists
Step-Up to Active Living Program
Purpose of the Program
The Step-Up to Active Living Program is a workplace-pedometer based walking program. The purpose of this program is to encourage you to live an active lifestyle.
The Step-Up to Active Living Program is designed to help you become an “Active Individual”. To be considered active, studies within the last decade have proposed that a minimum of 10,000 steps must be achieved per day. Epidemiological studies have shown that
healthy, active adults have a lower prevalence of metabolic diseases (i.e. obesity, diabetes,
insulin resistance, high blood pressure, etc.) and cardiovascular complications.
By participating in this program, you equip yourself to become an ACTIVE individual!
Introduction
Recent studies have suggested 10,000 steps per day to be an appropriate target for healthy
adults to obtain health benefits. Pedometer-based walking programs have been shown to
help individuals achieve an appropriate level of physical activity for a number of reasons.
First, ask yourself these four questions: (1) Why should I walk 10,000 steps everyday; (2)
what if I do not walk 10,000 step per day; (3) What if I walk more than 10,000 steps per
day; (4) Am I active? At the end of reading this section, try to answer those questions again.
Activity Level Indices
Table 1: Indices for working level of activity. This char t
allows for you to identify yourself with one of the activity
levels as determined by the total number of steps you take
each day. For the purpose of this program, this identifies
your activity level at work.

Riverside Review, Vol. 17, Issue 4
April 2015
Health Benefits of
10,000 Steps
In healthy adults, walking a minimum of 10,000 steps per day provides resistance and lower
risk of developing obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, adverse blood lipid profiles, some cancers (i.e. colon and breast), and hip fractures.
Walking 10,000 steps may also help with weight maintenance, or in some cases promote
weight loss.
Improved mental health is another major component of wellness that everybody desires.
Lower anxiety, fewer feelings of depression, and reductions in stress throughout the day,
along with better quality of sleep, all can be achieved through “active” levels of physical
activity. Generally, the more active you can be, the more protected you are against the development of injury, mental stress, and disease.
Wellness is worth walking for. The fewer steps that you walk throughout the day, the more
risk you put yourself at for disease and injury. Consider walking as a responsibility-an easy
solution, yet a challenging activity to continually participate in. Join the Step-Up to Active
Living Program for the month of April to take responsibility for your health. With other
co-workers and an understanding of the benefits and risks associated with your “Level of
Activity”, you can become ACTIVE!
Why Track Your Steps With This Program?
Tracking your steps is important for a number of reasons. By recording your steps, you are
able to track your progress and identify your Level of Activity and any associated health
risks and benefits. In addition, recording progress increases motivation. By recording your
steps, you can dramatically boost intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to keep you going
throughout April’s Program.
Increase Your Step Count at work
On break, take a walk between Long-Term Care (LTC) and Retirement Home (RH). For
example, to-and-from RH-Gym and LTC-Gym is approximately 500-700 steps
depending on your height.
At lunch, go for a 15-minute walk on the treadmill in RH or LTC Gyms.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Park your car further from the entrance of the building.
Think of other creative ways to increase your step count and share!

A dose of knowledge from the Nursing Team
Hello Everyone
I want to introduce you to the Behavioural Support Ontario (BSO) team
at Riverside Glen. We recently changed the name of this to Personal Expression-Resource Team (PE-RT).
Melanie Dow is an RPN and the team lead. She works with Mandi
McEwan PSW and Jennifer Reed PSW. Their roles primarily are to offer
support and advice in managing personal expressions - anxiety and agitation with residents. Believing that all behaviour, or expressions, has
meaning our goals are to seek to understand what may be triggering the
reactions and responses.
The PE-RT team work out of the Wellness Center where they also are
able to facilitate small group activities, 1:1 programs and enhanced
learning for other team members. They follow residents for several
weeks until concerns and challenges are resolved or manageable. They
implement changes to routines and evaluate the outcomes and they liase
with the Physicians to review medication usage. External resources are
also available to the team for local support in the Guelph Community
through Hospital, Homewood Health and Crisis Support.

A FEW words from your
Village Advisory Team
A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in our spaghetti lunch fundraiser. We appreciate your patience while we get the kinks in our selling system worked out – we’ve learned from our mistakes and hope to
be more streamlined next time! Thank you to Margaret R who donated her time (lots of it!) and the ingredients.
Together we raised over $450 for Riverside’s 2015 Pioneer Network Ambassador!
In March the VAT decided that while they are not goals that will ever be completed, the Riverside community
made sufficient inroads into achieving Cross-functional Teams and Flexible Dining such that it is an appropriate time to change gears and shift our focus onto furthering and promoting a slightly different set of aspirations.
Riverside’s new set of Aspirations are as follows:
Authentic Relationships: “At our villages, authentic relationships begin by knowing each other personally and
are fostered through mutual respect. Authentic relationships occur when Village members are present with each
other, and they flourish when we honour the unique personalities, contributions and life stories of every Village
member.”
Meaningful and Shared Activities: “Life purpose is achieved in each of our Villages through daily life filled
with meaningful and shared activities. Our residents, family members, team members, volunteers and community partners engage in a vibrant Village life through mutual experiences and learning. We recognize that the
most natural activity can provide fulfillment and growth. We create opportunities for meaningful and shared
activities by giving permission to each other to explore new activities with our residents. We also educate everyone on the importance of community living and support residents in defining what activities are meaningful
to them.”
Connect Research & Innovation to Village Life: “At our Villages, we effectively communicate with all Village
stakeholders (residents, families, team members and policy makers) the results and implications of research on
aging through various channels including weekly communiqués to Village team members on topics affecting
our residents, face-to-face presentations and electronic and digital resources. Our research communication plan
engages the Villages in the research process by integrating research results into Village policies and practices.
At the same time, it integrates research results into professional development programs for staff and into College and University curricula. This research communication plan increases the profile of the Villages to government, LHINs, prospective residents, the research community and the general public. As a result, residents, families and team members are informed, involved in, and excited about the culture of innovation within the villages.”
We are excited for this shift in focus and hope you will be too! If you have any ideas as to how we can promote
and facilitate the achievement of these goals, please consider joining our team – we would love to hear from
you! See Tricia or Caroline from Rec for more information if you are interested.
Please mark Friday, May 22 at 6:45pm down on your calendar! The VAT will be hosting an Ice Cream Sundae
Speed Meet n’ Greet in Retirement to help achieve our Authentic Relationships aspiration. Residents, Family,
Volunteers and Team Members all welcome!

Thoughts about Living In My Today
From a Family Member
My name is Monica Krone and my uncle, Willy Krone, has lived at Riverside Glen since October 2010. He suffers from
dementia and has been living on the Memory Care floor since December 2012. I have POA for my uncle and look after
his affairs.
First I wish to convey my sincere thanks and congratulations to all staff at Riverside Glen. Uncle Willy's care has been
outstanding and I am so glad I was able to get him a spot there. He is very happy there.
Unfortunately his dementia continues to progress and since he is the first person I have had experience with that has
dementia, I have been trying to "learn as I go" to assist as best I can. I learned about the Living In My Today course/
models and was thrilled to learn it was being offered for family members. I have completed all but one module (could
not attend it due to illness). The course has been invaluable for me and has provided me with much information, therefore making caring for my uncle much easier and has provided me with a sense of peace knowing I am not alone.
Michelle and Trish did an absolutely amazing job presenting the course. They show a genuine interest and concern for
those dealing with dementia and were committed to providing those attending the course with valuable information
and answers to their questions.
Please pass on my thoughts and congratulations to Michelle, Trish and anyone involved in the course. I also encourage
any family member that has the opportunity to take the course to do so.
Happy
Birthday
