People who are trying to lose 20 pounds or more are usually tired of dieting, and have lost and gained weight multiple times. They're looking for a more permanent fix. While it's important to focus on making lasting lifestyle changes that involve both diet and exercise, in these cases you also need to think about the "why" of what you're eating, not just the "what."
When people want to lose 20 pounds or more, they almost always have an emotional relationship with food that needs to be addressed first. Mindful eating is a powerful tool for developing a healthier, happier relationship with food. It's designed to make you aware and attentive about the food you eat and how it affects your body.
This 1,500-calorie meal plan incorporates both a traditional calorie counting plan along with mindful eating tips and cues. After the first week, you will be more aware of your physical and emotional cues, be able to recognize your non hunger-related reasons for eating, and learn to meet your emotional needs without food.
This plan is designed to be slow and steady, which is key when it comes to lasting, sustainable weight loss. You should start to see some weight loss within the first month, and lose 20 pounds within four to six months. This plan is also flexible: It's not so much about what food you eat, but rather how much and how often you eat. Take care that you are choosing foods that you enjoy while falling in line with the recommended calorie allotments.
As you go through each meal, focus on asking yourself the following questions:
- Am I actually hungry?
- Am I emotionally hungry or physically hungry?
These questions will help to narrow down your reasons for eating and identify how often you reach for food for comfort vs. nourishment.
Day 1
Mindful eating challenge: Before each meal today, ask yourself: On a scale of 1 to 10, how hungry am I? If you are at a 5 or above, ask yourself, do I need to eat, or do I just want to eat? Never wait until you are starving, however, as that usually backfires and you end up consuming more food than you originally planned on. Lastly, see if you can start noticing fullness. Are you able to stop when you are satisfied rather than full or overly full?
Breakfast: 400 calories. Focus on what you want to eat and what will satisfy you the most.
Lunch: 400 to 500 calories. Make sure you have at least 3 to 4 ounces of protein to aid in satiety and fullness.
Dinner: This meal should have a lot of nutrients. Enjoy 300 to 400 calories of whatever you want, along with 1 to 2 cups of vegetables.
Optional snack: 100 calories. Dessert treat of choice.
Day 2
Mindful eating challenge: We focused a lot on hunger yesterday, and today we are going to focus on fullness. When you notice the first signs of satisfaction, stop and take a five-minute break. If you are still hungry after the break, give yourself permission to eat until you are satisfied (remember the distinction between hungry and just wanting food).
Breakfast: Breakfast sandwich: One egg and two egg whites, scrambled with 1/2 cup vegetables of choice. Serve with one toasted whole-wheat English muffin and a slice of either cheese or two slices of bacon or turkey bacon.
Lunch: Super salad: Toss mixed greens with 4 ounces of smoked turkey, 10 halved grapes, 2 tablespoons roasted walnuts, one small pear, sliced, and 1/4 cup white beans. Toss with 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinaigrette.
Dinner: 500 calories. Dinner of choice.
Optional snack: 1/2 cup frozen yogurt or 100-calorie treat of choice.
Day 3
Mindful eating challenge: Today is all about choice. Most dieters fail when feeling deprived, starting off with a bang only to fail a short while later. Today's challenge will build on what we did the previous two days with hunger and fullness. Now we ask: What do I want to eat? While it's not always possible to eat exactly what we crave, we can learn a lot about why we crave certain foods or meals. Most importantly, see if you can feel more satisfied with less when you choose foods you really enjoy. The goal in successful weight loss is not restriction, but portion control.
Breakfast: 400 calories. Focus on what you want to eat, what will satisfy you the most.
Lunch: 400 to 500 calories. Make sure you have at least 3 to 4 ounces of protein to aid in satiety and fullness.
Dinner: 400 to 500 calories.
Optional snack: 100 calories.
Day 4
Mindful eating challenge: Take the apple test! Before you reach for food today, ask yourself: If that were an apple, would I eat it? We often don't eat apples just because! If you don't want the apple, you're probably more emotionally hungry than physically hungry. This is a great test to help you determine the difference between emotional and physical hunger.
Breakfast: Yogurt parfait: Layer 6 ounces of nonfat, plain Greek yogurt with 1 cup berries/fruit and 1/2 cup high-fiber cereal. Still hungry? Add another 1/2 to 1 cup fruit.
Lunch: Tuna pita sandwich: Combine one small can drained, water-packed tuna with 2 tablespoons light mayo, 1 tablespoon relish, and salt/pepper. Stuff into a pita pocket with lettuce, tomato, and sliced red onion. Still hungry? Serve with fruit salad or side salad.
Dinner: Mediterranean zucchini noodles. Eat until satisfied.
Optional snack: Small treat of choice.
Day 5
Mindful eating challenge: We are slowing things down today to take breaks between bites. See if you can take a break between bites, placing your fork/spoon down during meals. This will not only help you connect to the food, but also allow you to be more in tune with how you are feeling as you eat. In general, the slower you eat, the less you need. If you don't finish all of the food, that's OK.
Breakfast: Oatmeal: 1 cup cooked oatmeal with 1/4 cup dried fruit, 1/8 cup mixed nuts, and 1 tablespoon of honey.
Lunch: Chicken wrap: one lavash bread spread with 1 teaspoon mustard and 1 teaspoon light mayo. Cover with 3 ounces of sliced chicken breast and as many vegetables as you'd like. Roll up and eat! Serve with a handful of baby carrots and hummus or a handful of baked chips.
Dinner: Pasta! Roast whatever vegetables you like. My favorites are broccoli, cauliflower, onion, peppers, and carrots. Toss 2 cups of roasted vegetables with 1 cup cooked whole-wheat pasta and 1/2 cup marinara sauce.
Optional snack: 2 to 3 dark chocolate kisses.
Day 6
Mindful eating challenge: Turn off the distractions! Remove the TV, phone, and computer from your meals today. You don't have to enjoy your meals in complete silence, but try to enjoy them without any outside distractions.
Breakfast: 400 calories. Focus on what you want to eat, what will satisfy you the most.
Lunch: 400 to 500 calories. Salad of choice: Aim for at least two to three servings of vegetables, one serving of healthy fats (about a thumb size), and one serving of protein (about the size of an iPhone).
Dinner: 500 calories.
Optional snack: 50 to 100 calories. Dessert of choice.
Day 7
Mindful eating challenge: Put it all together! Wow! In one week, you've learned mindful eating concepts and hopefully gained enough insight as to why you eat. Now, you can begin making lasting, permanent changes. Today is a test day. See if you can put everything you've learned into choosing today's food.
Focus on what you want to eat, why you want to eat, and assess hunger levels before eating. While eating, limit distractions and slow down your rate of eating. Once finished, check back in with your fullness scale. At the end of the day, reflect on how you did. What do you need to work on from here on out?
And remember: The more active you are, the easier weight loss should be. For exercise, focus on positive things you enjoy rather than another item to add to your to-do list. Think of it as "me" time, and choose to do something that you really love and will continue to do.

4 WELCOME TO CAREWEST Welcome! On behalf of our staff and volunteers, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Carewest. If you are reading this, you or your loved one have just began your journey in a Carewest rehabilitation and recovery (R&R) program. As Calgary s largest public provider of its kind, Carewest operates 12 locations aimed at helping people live more independent lives. Our spectrum of care is available to adults of all ages and includes long term care, rehabilitation and recovery services, and community programs and services. We pride ourselves on our ability to change with the community s needs and we do our best to predict what those needs may be in the future. We know that you have many questions about your rehabilitation and recovery. If your questions are not answered in this handbook, please do not hesitate to ask any member of your R&R team. Our dedicated staff are here to help in any way possible and we encourage you to speak with them if you have any questions, concerns or just need some additional information. Because there are staff on duty 24 hours a day, there is always someone for you to talk to. Our goal is to make your stay here as pleasant and positive as possible. We recognize that this is a difficult time for you and your family. The whirlwind of dealing with a health crisis and a new environment is very stressful. It is our hope that the information in this handbook will help you settle onto the unit, into your rehabilitation program and make you more comfortable. We want to ensure that by the end of your stay, you will be satisfied with the time you spent in our program.

5 Our Frame of Reference 4
6 Welcome to Carewest This handbook has been developed to provide you with some helpful information and to assist you during your time with us. We recognize that the period of adjustment for you and your family can vary from person to person. It is normal to take some time to adjust to a new environment. Our goal is to make this transition as easy as possible for you. Daily routines may seem different from what you are used to. Both you and your family will receive an orientation to the centre and the unit where you will be staying. Our staff are here to support and help you in any way possible and we encourage you to speak to them if you have any questions, concerns or just need some additional information. Your Rehabilitation Team You You and your family are the most important team members! We encourage you to participate in decisions about your care and will provide you with the information that will help you make those decisions. You will be asked about your goals while you are here and the team will be working together with you to plan all aspects of your therapy, care and discharge. Our staff work together to share information and ideas to provide a high standard of care to assist you throughout your recovery. You will be introduced from a care coordinator from this team. Your rehabilitation team may include some or all of the following people: Site Director Each centre has a designated site director who acts as the site manager for that centre. The director oversees most of the administrative aspects of running the centre to ensure we meet our goal of providing excellent care, within available funding, for you, our clients. Client Service Manager There is a client service manager for each unit. The manager supervises the rehabilitation team to ensure that your recovery follows best practice and Carewest policies. Your client service manager will be happy to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have. 5
7 Nursing Services and Personal Care Services Carewest employs a mix of nursing staff who work collaboratively to encourage and support you to manage your personal care as independently as possible. You may be introduced to a care coordinator from this team who will be responsible for coordinating your recovery. The registered nurse (RN) assesses, plans, provides and evaluates the nursing care you receive. The licensed practical nurse (LPN) works with the RN to provide the nursing care identified to meet your needs. The health care aides help you with activities of daily living such as dressing, transferring to and from your bed or chair, bathing, grooming and meals. Physicians You will be assigned a doctor who will provide your medical care related to your admission. Our doctor will provide information to your family doctor before you are discharged to keep your own doctor informed. Pharmacy Services Pharmacy Services provides you with the medications your physician has ordered. The Pharmacist reviews your individual medications and may provide you with medication counselling. The Pharmacist or nurse will notify you and explain if there are any changes made to your medications. Please ask a nurse or pharmacist if you have any questions about your medications. Unit Clerk Unit clerks provide general information and clerical support to the unit and assist in booking appointments and transportation. Therapy Services Therapy services are provided based on assessed needs and available resources. You may not require the services of all therapy staff. Your rehabilitation team works together to ensure the therapy needs identified are addressed in all aspects of the care we provide. Through assessment and treatment your therapy team will gain a comprehensive understanding of your rehabilitation needs and your tolerance to treatment. Therapists work together with the entire team to provide instruction to team members so that each activity maximizes your abilities. This allows you to learn directly from the therapists during their individual or group treatment sessions and then practice during other daily activities with a variety of staff. 6
8 Occupational therapists (OTs) and therapy assistants help you to do as much for yourself as possible. Following assessment, this may include recommendations for assistive devices or supplies, help with comfort while sleeping, seating and positioning and independence in activities such as dressing, grooming, self care, and other daily activities. Physical therapists (PTs) and therapy assistants help you maintain or regain strength, balance, coordination and mobility. Following assessment, this may include a recommendation for individualized programs or participation in appropriate group programming. Recreation therapists (RecTs) and therapy aides will offer you the opportunity to participate in recreation and leisure activities planned for your unit or program. Following assessment, they may also be involved with you individually to ensure that your recreational needs are met. Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) evaluate and treat any problem clients may have with speech, language, voice, cognition, thinking or swallowing. Therapy Assistants (TAs) assist with treatment and therapy under the direction of the OT, PT, RecT or SLP. Transition Services Coordinator A Transition Services Coordinator is an Alberta Health Services nurse who arranges services for individuals who need further care in the community (i.e. admission to a continuing care facility, Home Care services, access to supported living options or other community resources. Registered Dietitian Services The Registered Dietitian helps plan your meals according to your nutritional and hydration needs, appropriate textures for swallowing, likes and dislikes, religious practices and cultural customs, within our available resources. The Registered Dietitian reviews the centre menus to ensure they are in accordance with the Canada Food Guide. Social Work Services The social worker at your centre can assist you by providing resource information or referrals as well as helping with complex personal or family issues. Social workers may evaluate your living situation, discuss financial and living arrangement options and provide emotional and social support for both clients and families. Social workers also explore legal situations when necessary. 7
9 Activity Convenors The activity convenor will coordinate the centre s special events and social activities that you are welcome to join. Other Specialists During your stay, your care team may also include physiatrists, psychiatrists and podiatrists. Your Hospitality Team Our hospitality staff work to provide you with a clean and comfortable living environment and ensures that all meal times are pleasurable. Housekeeping Services Contracted housekeeping staff work to provide you with a clean, safe and comfortable environment. Food Services Mealtime provides not only a social opportunity but ensures a nutritional plan that supports your rehabilitation. The Food Services staff ensure that food products are handled and stored in a safe manner and all food preparation is in accordance with all legislative requirements. Physical Plant Services Maintenance staff (Physical Plant Services) keep the buildings, walkways and equipment safe and in good repair. If you bring any electrical items from your home, the maintenance staff are required to test those electrical items to ensure they meet safety codes. Your Safety and Security Commitment to Client Safety Carewest is committed to promoting a safe and respectful environment, client satisfaction and quality improvement to enhance our clients' quality of life. We recognize safety as a foundation upon which quality of care and service are built. We will inform and educate clients and families about their role in safety, recognizing choice and independence must be balanced with potential risk to safety. Carewest encourages all clients and families to help staff identify and report safety issues. You may also be asked by staff to state your name and/or date of birth regularly to confirm accurate identity. 8
10 Disclosure We value open and honest communication. If an error should occur, we will investigate so you are aware of what happened and develop an action plan so we can prevent similar situations from occurring in the future. Least Restraint Policy Carewest has a least restraint policy and strives for safe and appropriate interventions that support your safety while maintaining your dignity, comfort and autonomy. This means that Carewest will try all available alternatives before considering the use of a restraint. In the past, restraints were used to restrict the mobility of clients at risk of falling. However, research has shown that restraints and full bed side rails are more likely to harm clients than protect them. Clients and family members or assigned decision makers will be involved in discussions about restraints. Positive Culture We work diligently to create and sustain a positive, respectful environment for clients, families, friends and staff. If you experience or observe behaviour or language that you feel is not respectful, please talk to that person. If the concern is not resolved to your satisfaction, talk to a team member about giving feedback using the Resident, Client and Family Feedback Form. Disrespectful Behaviour Some examples of disrespectful behaviour that we do not tolerate includes: Written or verbal comments and behaviours that are rude, degrading or offensive; Jokes that are demeaning and result in embarrassment or insult; Bullying or shouting; Attempts to discredit an individual by spreading false information about him or her. Infection Prevention and Control (IP&C) Our goal is to prevent and control infections among our clients and staff. There are some basic rules you can follow to substantially reduce the spread of germs and protect yourself, the health of all clients, staff, volunteers and visitors. 1. Hand washing: Hand washing with soap and water is strongly recommended for you, your family, visitors and staff as the best infection prevention strategy. You will also find numerous alcohol hand sanitizer stations throughout the unit and centre to support good hand hygiene practice. 9
11 We strongly encourage you to wash your hands before and after meal times, after washroom breaks and after blowing your nose. Please encourage anyone entering your room to remember to practice good hand hygiene as well. 2. Respiratory etiquette: Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. Please sneeze into your sleeve or if you use a tissue, make sure you put the tissue in the garbage, followed by washing your hands. 3. Responsible visiting: Please encourage your family not to visit if they are feeling ill or have symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea or influenza (fever, cough, sore throat, generalized aches and pains). During influenza season, which generally runs from October to March, you are vulnerable to developing influenza. Each year, Carewest offers vaccinations for influenza to all people in our care and strongly promotes it as a means to prevent against illness. Bacteria and viruses can cause pneumonia, along with potential complications. Those in care who qualify for pneumococcal vaccine will be offered it upon admission. Building Safety We are committed to providing you with a safe environment. Because of this, some exits and stairwells are alarmed or secured in our centres. Please check with staff for the access codes of secure doors. Outside doors are locked at night with access to the centre obtained by ringing a doorbell at the centre s main entrance. We appreciate your help in following these essential safety measures to ensure the safety of not only yourself, but the centre s other clients, staff and volunteers. If you notice anything that may be a potential hazard or cause some level of concern or risk please speak with any Carewest employee. Some centres provide contracted security services to further promote client safety. Secure Units Some units are secure for those clients who may be unsafe if they leave the area unaccompanied. This means that a code is required to enter or exit the unit. As you exit these units, please ensure that clients who are leaving the unit are accompanied by staff or a family member. 10
12 Falls Prevention Carewest staff are committed to providing a safe environment that reduces the risk of falls and fall related injury. Your team will assess your individual risk for falling and may recommend specific strategies to reduce this risk. While we encourage you to work towards independence as part of your rehabilitation, you may be provided with aids such as walkers, or asked to call for assistance when getting out of bed to increase your safety until you are more mobile. In Case of Emergency Each centre has a Fire Safety Plan and conducts regular fire drills. During these drills you will hear the fire alarm and messages over the overhead paging system. Please follow the instructions given by staff members. If you would like more specific information on emergency procedures please ask staff or request to review the Emergency Response Manual that is available within the centre. A Smoke Free Environment For your safety and well being, smoking regulations are enforced. Some sites have designated smoking rooms for residents only. We ask that our rehabilitation clients refrain from smoking on Carewest property. Smoking cessation services are available to help you in your efforts to stop smoking. Personal Belongings and Valuables You are responsible for the care and security of your personal belongings. We ask that you not bring valuable jewellery or large sums of money when you come to stay at Carewest. If you choose to keep valuables in your room, you will be asked to fill out a Valuables and Personal Effects Record. Valuables are kept in the room at your own risk. You are welcome to open a trust account with the business office, located on the main floor. Money should not be kept in your room. If you bring hearing aides or dentures with you during your stay, please inform staff to ensure they know because these items can easily be misplaced. We ask that all personal belongs be removed from the room at the time of discharge. Your Identification You will be asked upon admission if your photo can be taken to assist with identification processes. Standards require staff to use at least two identifiers before providing any service or procedure such as delivering medications. Your Stay at Carewest Your Room The room you move to depends on availability and your particular needs. 11
13 Your room will be cleaned daily, with waste removal, cleaning of accessible surfaces, light dusting, floor dry/wet mopping and washroom area cleaned six days a week. It will be scheduled for a more thorough cleaning once a week that includes high dusting and spot washing of walls. During your stay, it is possible that you may be required to relocate to another room. If there is a need to relocate you, we will do our very best to minimize any disruption this may cause. We always strive to provide for your comfort and we would ask you to move unless absolutely necessary. Your Clothing and Belongings Clothing should be comfortable and easy to put on and take off. Please bring footwear appropriate for rehabilitation (e.g. non slip and comfortably fitting running shoes). A personal laundry service is available at some centres. Most families take the clients clothes home for washing, using their own bag and hamper. Some centres have a coin operated laundry so you or a family member can do laundry at the centre. We encourage your clothing to be labelled with your name to minimize loss. Ask staff if you have any questions. Please make sure all clothing and belongings are removed from the room upon discharge. Personal Electronics in our Centres Televisions Televisions are available in lounge areas of the centre. Some sites allow you to bring your own televisions. Any electronics you bring in must be checked by our Physical Plant Services staff to ensure it meets CCSA guidelines. We encourage you to use earphones so you can enjoy your favourite TV and radio programs in comfort, without disturbing others. Some units also have computers and devices with Internet access. Telephones You may have a cell phone, use common phones on the unit or have a personal line hooked up in your room. There is a charge for the hook up and a monthly charge for phone use. Contact Telus to make these arrangements. Heat sources Heat sources such as magic bean bags, heating pads, etc., are not allowed on this unit due to changes in client sensation and risk of severe burn. If you decide to bring in a magic bag, etc., against medical advice, you must notify a staff member and it will be documented that you are using it at your own risk. Meals Your meals will be served in the dining room and there is a choice of entrees at each meal. Daily menus are posted and alternate choices are available to help with special dietary needs (i.e. diabetic, low salt, vegetarian). A dietitian may be required to meet with you to discuss any special needs or concerns you may have. Refreshments and snacks are always available upon request or at 12
14 refreshment stations on each unit, for your convenience. The dining room is only open to clients due to space limitations. If you wish to eat with your family member, please speak to staff about other arrangements. On some units, it is mandatory or strongly recommended that you eat in the dining room so staff may observe as part of your rehabilitation. Sharing of Food Please do not offer to share food with other clients or leave food out on unit tables. Due to a variety of health conditions, eating the wrong food or the wrong texture of food can be life threatening to some clients. Keep food labelled with a name and date in a closed container. Gift Shops/Hair Salons Most Carewest centres have a gift shop with toiletries, snacks, assistive devices and gift ideas for clients and visitors. The revenue generated from the gift shops goes directly back into Carewest programs and services. Some Carewest centres also have a hair salon/barber service provided by a contract service where appointments can be made. Rates in effect are posted outside the beauty salon/barber shop. Carewest Glenmore Park does not offer hair care services. Due to public health and safety, hair cuts, colours and services are not allowed in client rooms. Pets Family pets may be welcome to visit. Your pet needs to be healthy, vaccinated and under control or on a leash during their visit. Pets are not allowed in any of the Food Service areas. Animals may also come to the centre as part of a pet visitation program. Every site has a pet policy. Please check with your client service manager to see if your pet is permitted on the unit. Personal Appointments or Absence from the Centre Appointments Elective appointments (dental, optometrist, etc.) should continue to be arranged by you, your family or guardian. Please let Carewest staff know about your arrangements. Arranging transportation is the responsibility of the client. If you need assistance alternate arrangements may be made with carewest staff. Family or friends may be asked to attend appointments, as required. Medically necessary appointments or test procedures (such as lab tests and X rays) that are requested by your physician or member of your rehabilitation team will be arranged by the unit (including the transportation) and family or friends may be asked to accompany or assist with transportation if you are able to travel by car. 13
15 Passes We acknowledge that your well being is part of healing and encourage you to pursue leisure activities at home and in the community, during your stay on our unit. Guidelines have been established for decision making regarding passes so you will not be at risk while out of the centre. Passes may be issued at the discretion of your physician and rehabilitation team. This allows for assessment of your needs, your mobility, medication, diet or swallowing concerns. Exceptions may be made for clients who have been visiting home from hospital, prior to admission to our unit. Other Important People and Services Volunteer Services Volunteers support us in many different areas. They assist with recreation activities and special events, pastoral care programs and run our gift shops. They also provide companionship and help with community outings. We welcome clients, families and friends who may be interested in volunteering to join this team. Carewest provides comprehensive orientation, training and support for those interested in volunteering. Criminal record checks are required to ensure our clients safety. Student Placements Students from various universities and colleges also support our services. You may meet students who work with your rehabilitation team as part of their educational experience. Students are fully supervised and may be introduced to you and we encourage you to involve them in your rehabilitation. Pastoral Care Services Pastoral Care is non denominational and supports all faiths and spiritual beliefs. Nail Care Services On some units, you may be screened on admission to determine if you require basic or advanced nail care. Due to mandatory Infection Prevention and Control standards, a standardized personal nail kit may be required. If advanced nail care is required, you or your family will be connected with services of an independent nail care provider. This information can be found in the Yellow Pages under the headings of Foot Care or Podiatrists. If you experience difficulty accessing service, contact your Client Service Manager for information on how to contract with a podiatrist providing onsite service. Dental Services Unless deemed medically necessary by your rehabilitation team or physician, arranging dental services is the responsibility of the client. 14
16 Independent Service Providers Clients and families who wish to hire an independent service provider (paid companion) may do so at their own expense. If you wish to involve a health care professional from the community you will need to discuss this with your client service manager and sign a waiver of liability. Private companions must adhere to Carewest policies and procedures, including providing Carewest with a criminal record check. Orientation to your Rehabilitation Developing Your Care Plan Once you arrive at a Carewest centre, you will meet with your rehabilitation team to complete an initial assessment. Within this period, you will be asked if you wish to authorize the involvement of specified family or others in care planning and conferences. You may be required to attend an Admission Conference scheduled for you and authorized individuals to meet with the team to develop a care plan and set goals. Your care plan will be reviewed and updated regularly. Goals of Care In a medical emergency, the Goals of Care Designations guide the care team to provide timely care that is both medically appropriate and that meets your personal values and wishes. If you do not already have a personal directive, we would encourage you to write one or to follow the steps in the Conversations Matter guide before admission. Your rehabilitation team will help you decide on the Goals of Care Designations that best reflect your goals of care. These documents indicate your preferences for medical treatment and health care in the event you are unable to make such decisions. Accessing Your Personal Information As a client you may make a request to access records containing your own personal health information. Applications to view your health record must be made in writing fees are applied as per the Health Information Act. Please phone Carewest Information Management and Privacy at for more information. Communication and Providing Feedback You and your family are valued members of our rehabilitation team. We encourage open communication and welcome you to come forward with any concerns, compliments or suggestions for improvements. Please identify one key spokesperson for your family, who will act as the contact between your family and the centre. 15
17 Carewest has a Resident/Client and Family Feedback Form that will support your discussions and document your feedback for the client service manager to track and follow up. These forms can be found at each centre s main entrance in the brochure rack or found on each unit. Please forward the completed feedback form to any Carewest employee and they will forward this to the appropriate client service manager. Responding quickly to complaints to resolve issues openly and honestly is important at Carewest. If you feel Carewest has not addressed your issue or concern, there are additional resources available through the Alberta Health Services Office of Patient Relations, who can be reached at or Keeping up to Date Keeping informed is everyone s responsibility. Carewest offers many different ways of keeping clients and families informed. Carewrite Carewrite is an in house magazine published every month (except July and August). It provides news and information about Carewest. You can find Carewrite on the units throughout the centre or on the brochure racks at the main entrance of each centre. We welcome submissions. Please contact Carewest Communications at for more information. Website Carewest s website ( offers comprehensive information about all of our programs and services and includes videos of services offered. Protection for Persons in Care Carewest supports and enforces the Protection for Persons in Care Act (PPCA) that provides protection from abuse for people in our care. All staff members have the duty to protect people in the centre from abuse and to maintain a reasonable level of safety. All staff members are required to report any allegations of abuse against a client that comes to their knowledge. Any individual who has a reasonable basis to believe someone is being abused may also file a report. For more information or to report abuse, call the PPCA information and reporting line at You can also visit the web site or send mail to: Protection for Persons in Care Alberta Seniors, Station M, Box 476, Edmonton, AB, T5J 2K1 16
18 Recognizing Staff Our staff members and volunteers appreciate your feedback. However, they cannot accept personal gifts or money from you, your family or any organization. Carewest has an Employee Recognition Program called Thank You for Making a Difference! that anyone can use to recognize staff members. You will find thank you cards at the administrative areas in your centre. Another way to recognize staff is to make a donation to Carewest through the Calgary Health Trust. Protecting your Privacy We are committed to safeguarding your personal and health information. Carewest maintains the confidentiality and privacy of your information in compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Health Information Act. Transfers and Discharges On admission to the unit, the team begins reviewing discharge planning goals. During this process, the team will communicate with you about your potential discharge date and will monitors that date throughout your stay to determine when you are physically capable and safe to be discharged. If your discharge involves an assisted living setting or care facility, you will be assisted throughout the process by the Transition Services Coordinator. The team meets regularly to discuss your progress and tries diligently to give you and your family enough notice for discharge. However, a discharge date sometimes can be determined within days, if needed. Discharge times are set by the unit but are generally between 9:30 11:30 a.m. Your belongings must be removed from the room upon discharge as the unit is not able to store them. If you need assistance to return home and friends/family are not available in the morning, you are welcome to wait in one of our lounges. Financial Information and Responsibilities Accommodation Fees Clients in a Carewest Rehabilitation and Recovery program are not required to pay accommodation fees. However, if the client is assessed as needing long term care placement or other supportive living settings (e.g. lodge, personal care home, designated assisted living, etc.) and completes the Rehabilitation and Recovery program but continues to occupy a bed until a space opens in a longterm care setting, they are required to pay accommodation fees. The Alberta Government regulates the accommodation rates and determines funded eligible service for long term care. 17
19 Measuring Our Success We invite feedback from you through client satisfaction surveys that are administered throughout all our programs. It is important for Carewest to hear from you and your families to continue to improve the services we provide. These surveys are given upon discharge. We encourage you to respond when a survey is provided. Calgary Health Trust Each Carewest care centre benefits from donations made through the Calgary Health Trust. Gifts come in various forms including general and designated donations, gifts made through the Grateful Families and Residents program; memorial donations in honour of a loved one, as well as gifts in kind and bequests. To make a donation or for more information on the Calgary Health Trust, Carewest fundraising priorities and the different ways you can give, please call or visit 18

Four to compete at 4A State Tennis Tournament
Juniors Maddie Booth and Claire Hiler won four of five matches during play last week to finish second overall in girls doubles.
The Wills Point Tiger tennis program has been no stranger to on court success, qualifying multiple players to compete at the State Tennis Tournament in each of the past two seasons.
Another chapter to that legacy was added April 18-19 with four players, the mixed doubles team of Chase Daniell and Kelsey James and the girls doubles team of Maddie Booth and Claire Hiler each bring home top finishes at the Regional Tournament in Longview to qualify for this year's State event at College Station May 18-19.
Chase Daniell and Kelsey James were the Regional Champions in mixed doubles, marking their second Regional championship as a team and their second joint trip to State. The trip to College Station will serve as James' third, after she also qualified back in 2015.
Maddie Booth and Claire Hiler placed second in girls doubles and will be headed to State also, while Cassidy Wilcoxson placed third in girls singles and will be an alternate in that event.
All told, the Tiger tennis program qualified 10 athletes to compete at this year's Regional Tournament.

Fight against the dreaded disease actually begins with knowing what we are up against
What is polio?
Polio [PO-lee-oh] or poliomyelitis is a viral disease that can damage the nervous system and cause paralysis.
What is the cause of polio?
Polio is caused by any of the three types of polio viruses-- Poliovirus type 1 (PV1 or Mahoney), PV2 (Lansing), and PV3 (Leon). The polio virus lives in the throat and intestinal tract of infected persons. The polio virus enters the body through the mouth, usually from hands contaminated with the stool of an infected person. Sharing contaminated utensils, can also spread the virus.
Is Polio a world-wide phenomenon or restricted to a few countries?
Till a few decades ago, polio was one the world's most deadly diseases crippling and maiming people all over the world. However due to massive global immunization programs and eradication efforts, polio has been limited to a decreasing number of countries. The greatest risk is now in the Indian subcontinent and, to a lesser extent, in West and Central Africa.
What are the symptoms of polio?
The worst part is that many people infected with the virus have few or no symptoms. The polio virus attacks the nerve cells that control muscle movements causing headache, tiredness, fever, stiff neck and back, and muscle pain. More serious problems happen when the virus invades nerves in the brain and causes paralysis of the muscles used in swallowing and breathing. Invasion of the nerves in the spinal cord can cause paralysis of the arms, legs, or trunk.
How long does it take after the exposure for symptoms to appear?
Usually it takes 7 to 14 days for the symptoms to appear after exposure to the virus. A person with polio can spread the infection as long as the virus is active in their throat or stool. The virus can be found in the throat 1 week after infection and in the stool for 6 weeks or longer.
How is polio diagnosed?
Polio is diagnosed by a blood test or culture.
Who is at risk for polio?
Polio is most common in infants and young children, but complications occur most often in older persons.
What complications can result from polio?
Complications include paralysis, most commonly of the legs. Paralysis of the muscles that control breathing and swallowing can be fatal. In very rare cases, the oral vaccine used to prevent polio can cause polio paralysis in persons who are vaccinated (1 in every 8.1 million doses) and in people who are close contacts of a vaccinated person (1 in every 5 million doses).
What is the treatment for polio?
There is no treatment for polio. A polio patient must receive expert medical care, especially at the beginning of the illness.
How can polio be prevented?
Polio is preventable by immunization. Two types of polio vaccine are available: oral polio vaccine (OPV) and inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). OPV is made with a live but weakened virus. OPV protects vaccinated persons directly. OPV also protects other susceptible persons who are indirectly "vaccinated" as the vaccine virus spreads in the community. Because of wide use of OPV, no cases of paralytic polio caused by naturally circulating polio virus have been reported in the United States since 1979.
IPV is given by injection. The latest thinking worldwide is to give a combination of OPV and IPV for effective protection against polio. The recommended schedule for polio vaccination for children is two doses of IPV at 2 and 4 months of age, followed by two doses of OPV at 12-18 months and 4-6 years. This is expected to reduce the small number of polio cases caused by the oral vaccine.
Booster doses of polio vaccine are also recommended for persons traveling to polio affected areas of the world.

Windsurfing for four days from Cuba to a new life in US
For decades, Cubans fleeing their island home in search of a new life in the US have crossed the shark-infested waters in makeshift rafts.
But when Jorge Armando Martinez decided to make the journey in February he chose a different method of transport: his windsurfing board.
Thinking the voyage would last only a few hours, Martinez, 28, took only a bottle of water and a bag of sweets. He was at sea for four days.
He spoke to the BBC about how he survived and eventually found his way to an island in the Florida Keys.
Produced by the BBC's Lorena Arroyo and David Botti.
First Person is a series of video features published every Monday on the BBC News website which tells the stories of unique individuals from all walks of life in their own words.

Self Control: How to Keep Dessert Portions Under Control
In my mind, dessert is meant to signify that the meal is over. Whether that's a small bowl of fresh fruit or a scoop of ice cream, it needn't be gigantic to satisfy. Here are a few tips to help keep desserts small, special, and appreciated:
After-Dinner Portion Control:
- Pre-Portion Your Servings: Even if it's just you and your partner, spend the extra time slicing all 8 pieces of pie. I know some folks who take this one step further and actually put each slice in its own airtight container. I find that just pre-slicing my pie, brownies or bars prevents me from cutting off little bits to snack on in the afternoon.
- The Freezer is Your Friend: Don't be afraid to freeze leftover dessert! We do this so often with savory dishes like casseroles, meats, and sauces but it's just as useful with a big batch of cookies. While quite nice, sometimes it's not the best idea to have a batch of 32 cookies around the house unless you have a sizable family. I happen to live with just my boyfriend, so we're in the practice of tossing things in the freezer to avoid over-indulging.
- Wait At Least One Hour: I've started to do this on a tip from my grandmother last summer. Instead of clearing the dinner dishes and setting out dessert right away, come back to it. If you give yourself some time to digest your dinner and break up the act of sitting and eating, you're more likely to be able to enjoy your dessert more fully.
- Slow Down: A very special dessert can disappear all too quickly if you don't allow enough time to appreciate it. We're often told this while eating dinner and it applies here, too.
- Make New Friends: Our neighborhood baristas often give us free coffee. Why? Because we often bring them sweets. Bringing leftover desserts to neighbors or folks who work in the neighborhood is a great way to avoid over-eating. And who knows? You could make a few new friends while you're at it.
