St. Clare Commons Announces Partnerships to Improve Senior Care in Northwest Ohio

St. Clare Commons, a Franciscan Living Community, has partnered with the Toledo Catholic Diocese, Blessed John XXIII Parish, St. Rose Parish, the Alzheimer's Association, Wright State University's Nursing Institute and others to couple science together with caring to improve senior care in Northwest Ohio.

Perrysburg, OH (PRWEB) December 20, 2012

The Sisters of St. Francis with Sylvania Franciscan Health and Franciscan Living Communities have chosen the Toledo Catholic Diocese, Blessed John XXIII Community, St. Rose Parish as partners in advocacy, education and ministry to seniors.

Other important healthcare partnerships are in the works that will soon be released. The Alzheimer's Association of Northwest Ohio is among the first working relationships to provide education and resources to residents, families, staff and the greater community. St. Clare Commons has become an Alzheimer's Early Detection Alliance member to help bring awareness and resources to those who have been affected by dementia.

Another leader in dementia care, Dr. Govind Bharwani, Ph.D., Director of Nursing Ergonomics & Alzheimer?s Care (Nursing Institute) and Co-Director of Ergonomics (College of Engineering) at Wright State University, has been instrumental in the very design of St. Clare Commons. Earlier this year, Long Term Living Magazine named Dr. Bharwani a ?Leader of Tomorrow.?

What is an engineer doing in dementia healthcare? Another Franciscan Living Community, St. Leonard Franciscan Living Community sought Dr. Bharwani out to reduce caregiver injuries. After demonstrating great success in reducing injuries for direct care nurses and nursing assistants, the team at St. Leonard asked him to evaluate the campus?s dementia and Alzheimer?s space to reduce resident falls and injuries.

Dr. Bharwani took that challenge and created Behavior-Based Ergonomics Therapy (BBET) with St. Leonard in 2010 and has since proven overwhelmingly effective. Research has shown a 35% reduction in falls and 55% drop in use of PRN (emergency) medications. There was also a more than 50% jump in improved mood ? and 60% fewer uses of certain anti-psychotic medications for behavior management.

With a lot of preparation, ergonomically designed features and proper training in use of space and abilities, residents feel better and even those who would normally withdraw are more engaged. Working with the many devices and systems as instructed by Dr. Bharwani, the team feels more at ease, residents feel less stressed. Everybody wins.

Dr. Bharwani has been recognized nationally and several Ohio communities have implemented his program to improve patient care. The team at St. Clare Commons is excited to bring his methods and tools to Northwest Ohio.

Future community education will be offered through St. Rose Parish, Blessed John XXIII and other local venues. St. Clare Commons, under construction, and expected to open in the summer of 2013, has been designed with education in mind with several meeting spaces.

In addition to meeting spaces, the 135,000 square-foot first phase building located on Five Point Road just east of State Route 25 in Perrysburg, Ohio, one mile south of Levis Commons, will include 60 private skilled nursing suites, 56 assisted living apartments and 36 studio apartments dedicated to specialized memory care.

A well-appointed chapel, state-of-the-art therapy lab, fountains, ponds, two rooftop terraces, a piano lounge, community rooms, a coffee shop, and many connections to Blessed John XXIII round out the world class amenities. Future phases include independent senior apartments, duplexes, ranch homes, a club house with a restaurant and pool, and much more to make St. Clare Commons a true Continuing Care Retirement Community or ?Lifetime Campus.?

American Psycho author Brett Easton Ellis apologises to director Kathryn Bigelow for 'drunken' Twitter 'joke about reverse sexism'

By Daily Mail Reporter

PUBLISHED: 18:25 EST, 19 December 2012 | UPDATED: 18:27 EST, 19 December 2012

American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis has apologized for a handful of 'douchy' tweets he sent out earlier this month against Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow.

On December 6th, the 48-year-old wrote on Twitter: 'Kathryn Bigelow would be considered a mildly interesting filmmaker if she was a man but since she's a very hot woman she's really overrated.'

And after an angered response from women everywhere, a remorseful Mr Ellis has written a 2,200 word apology to the Oscar-winning director for The Daily Beast, saying what he did, 'goes beyond douchiness into another more insensitive realm.'

I'm sorry: American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis (left)? has apologized for a handful of 'douchy' tweets he sent out earlier this month against Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow (right)

'I've taken a lot of hits in my career - they bounce off,' he wrote.

'The armor was built so long ago that I now assume everyone else in the public eye can handle it when they?re shot at. But the outcry over the Bigelow tweets was eye-opening to me in a way that nothing else has ever been. I got it. I heard it.

?

'I looked back at what I was doing with those tweets (quickly, unconsciously, hurriedly, drunkenly) and I have to admit they simply back-fired.

'Which is why I?m writing this. No one asked me to write this. I simply write something like this when I'm in pain. And I?ve been slowly feeling a painfulness when reading all of the articles reacting to those tweets.'

'It goes beyond douchiness into another more insensitive realm'

Mr Ellis fired the bizarre and hurried rant against Ms Bigelow after the National Board of Review and the New York Film Critics Circle awarded her best director of the year, and awarded her new movie Zero Dark Thirty, about the 10-year hunt for Osama bin Laden, Best Picture.

She also won an Oscar for her 2009 film, The Hurt locker.

And after calling her 'overrated' because 'she's a very hot woman', he continued his twitter attack.

'Kathryn Bigelow: Strange Days, K-19 The Widowmaker, Blue Steel, The Hurt Locker. Are we talking about visionary filmmaking or just OK junk?'

Controversial: American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis sent out a handful of Tweets earlier this month against Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow

Offensive: Mr Ellis' remarks prompted angered responses from women everywhere

And then: 'I still believe that if "The Hurt Locker" had been directed by a man it would not have won the Oscar for best director.'

A day later, he tweeted: 'Barraged today by people who think I'm "sexist" and "toxic" for thinking the beautiful Kathryn Bigelow is overrated because she's a woman...'

In his lengthy apology, Mr Ellis notes he hasn't actually seen Zero Dark Thirty. He wrote, 'I thought, in the Twitter-moment, can it really be that good? Marc Boal and Kathryn Bigelow and another war film?'

Before adding: 'I thought that in the Bigelow tweets people might find a certain truth... about the hypocrisy of the world, of the Hollywood mindset, beautiful women in the movie biz, reverse sexism, etc.

Hurried attack: Mr Ellis fired the bizarre rant against Ms Bigelow after the National Board of Review and the New York Film Critics Circle awarded her best director of the year

'But they ultimately revealed a much more layered sexism that, I guess I thought as a gay man, I could get away with since my supposed vitriol about Bigelow was coming from another ?oppressed? class.

'But in 140 characters it didn?t land that way.'

He has since deleted the tweets, and decided to take a break from tweeting until after he watched Zero Dark Thirty.

His first tweet after the hiatus? 'The most morally dubious, obtuse and overrated movie of 2012: Zero Dark Thirty,' he wrote.
