During National Nutrition Month^®, celebrated each March, the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics and Tel Hai Retirement Community encourages everyone to “Put Your Best Fork Forward” by making small, healthy shifts in food choices when cooking at home.

The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend making small changes to eating patterns to include healthier ingredients while cooking at home. Choosing a variety of healthful foods across and within all food groups helps reduce the risk of preventable, lifestyle-related chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Making dietary and lifestyle changes can help prevent diseases before they occur. During National Nutrition Month and beyond try to make small, healthier food choices – one forkful at a time.
Here are some suggestions, try to eat more of these foods:

• Vegetables, including dark green, red and orange, beans, peas and others
• Fruits, especially whole fruits
• Whole grains
• Fat-free or low-fat dairy including milk, yogurt, cheese and fortified soy beverages
• Protein foods including seafood, lean meats, poultry, nuts, soy products, beans and peas
• Oils including canola, corn, olive, peanut, sunflower and soy

To find a personalized plan that works best, consult with a registered dietitian nutritionist. RDNs can provide sound, easy-to-follow nutrition advice to meet your lifestyle, preferences and health-related needs.

Tel Hai Retirement Community invites the community to attend a ‘Meet the Artist’ Dessert Reception & Open House with professional artist Jen McCleary on Friday, January 27, 2017 from 1-3 PM in the StoneCroft Common’s Clark Gallery.

Join us for this free open house and reception, which is open to the public. Jen’s artwork is currently on display within the gallery through January 31, 2017. A portion of the proceeds from each piece of artwork sold goes to Tel Hai Retirement Community’s Care Assurance Fund for residents that outlive their ability to pay for their care.

Jen McCleary studied painting and printmaking (BFA) at Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA, and graphic design (Certificate) at University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA, as well as completing a custom interdisciplinary Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) at University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.

The roots of her art lie in the process of collecting images, ephemera, and found objects, which she layers, alters, or arranges to create something new. She works both digitally (photo-collage and graphic design) and in more traditional forms (mixed-media collage/painting and jewelry made from found and vintage objects). No matter the medium, she prefers to work intuitively, letting each piece evolve over time and in unexpected directions. Her work is more a form of meditation or playful exploration than a deliberate attempt at communicating a specific concept, although she does believe that images and objects can act as carriers of meaning and emotional resonance. She is interested in symbolism, wonder, hidden connections between things, the passage of time, imagined landscapes, ways of understanding the world, and dualities including the manmade vs. the natural worlds, light vs. dark (metaphorically and literally), and complexity vs. simplicity.

Event is hosted in the StoneCroft Common’s Clark Gallery, on the campus at Tel Hai, located at 4000 Tree Line Drive, Honey Brook. We are only 3 short miles east of Route 10 off Beaver Dam Road. Follow Beaver Dam Road to the campus of Tel Hai, then turn onto Tree Line Drive and follow signs to StoneCroft. Parking is available adjacent to the StoneCroft commons main entrance.

Tel Hai Retirement Community invites the community to attend a Tel Hai Life Enrichment Committee Event called “Cultural Differences: Inside & Out” with Dr. Beth Morling on Thursday, January 26 at 1:00 PM in the StoneCroft Center for Worship & Performing Arts. Join us for this free educational lecture. This event is open to the public.

Dr. Morling returns to Tel Hai for another enthralling lecture! She will provide an introduction to the discipline of cultural psychology, which is the study of how culture shapes human psychology. Cultural psychologists measure cultural difference both “inside the head” (at the level of individual people), and “outside the head,” by documenting culturally-different products, texts, or institutions.

Dr. Morling earned her B.A. in Psychology from Carleton College and her Ph.D. in social and personality psychology from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. She taught at liberal arts colleges (Union College and Muhlenberg College) before teaching at the University of Delaware. Throughout her career, she has focused on both classroom teaching and cultural psychology research. She regularly teaches courses on research methods, cultural psychology, the self-concept, and the teaching of psychology, and has published a textbook in research methods. Beth’s most recent scholarly research has focused on how culture shapes human motivation and social life, as well as where cultural differences are located and measured—whether within the person, or in cultural products such as media, texts, or buildings. She is a Fulbright scholar, having lectured and conducted research in Kyoto, Japan from 2010-11. She was the 2014 Delaware State Professor of the Year, an award from CASE and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Event is hosted in the StoneCroft Center for Worship & Performing Arts, on the campus at Tel Hai, located at 4000 Tree Line Drive, Honey Brook. We are only 3 short miles east of Route 10 off Beaver Dam Road. Follow Beaver Dam Road to the campus of Tel Hai, then turn onto Tree Line Drive and follow signs to StoneCroft.

Tel Hai Retirement Community invites the community to attend an educational lecture by WGAL’s Brian Roche on Tuesday, January 24 at 10:00 AM in the StoneCroft Center for Worship & Performing Arts, titled “Guarding Against Commons Scams that Target Seniors.” This event is free and open to the public. RSVP is requested and event includes complimentary refreshments. Please RSVP to The Development Office at 610-273-9333 ext. 2039.

Speaker Brian Roche, WGAL news anchor will hold a powerful workshop that will help protect you from strangers like this who prey on the vulnerable and trusting. We’ve all heard the sad stories: A senior citizen was fleeced out of his home by an unscrupulous caregiver. A home repair worker turns out to be a thief who takes all your jewelry. A call announcing you’ve won a prize turns out to be a ploy to get you to empty your bank account. Many scams against older people go unreported because the victims are embarrassed and afraid they will lose independence if their children find out they’ve been deceived.

Event is hosted in the StoneCroft Center for Worship & Performing Arts, on the campus at Tel Hai, located at 4000 Tree Line Drive, Honey Brook. We are only 3 short miles east of Route 10 off Beaver Dam Road. Follow Beaver Dam Road to the campus of Tel Hai, then turn onto Tree Line Drive and follow signs to StoneCroft.

Beginning in March 2016, the Tel Hai Retirement Community Board of Directors proposed a strategic initiative to review, assess and revise the community’s mission and vision.

A Task Force was created and was composed of team members, residents, and board members. The charge of the Task Force was to consider if the current mission and vision statement was reflective of the purpose, philosophy, and core values of the community. Simply put, we searched to find words that demonstrate who we are and what we strive to do.

After considerable research, deliberation, and discussion, a new mission and vision statement was recommended to the board for final approval in October 2016.

Effective immediately, we are eager to share the new mission and vision statement for Tel Hai Retirement Community:

• Mission: Motivated by Christ’s love for all, our covenant is to provide a vibrant caring community that enhances the lives of those served.

• Vision: To be an innovative Christian community, to inspire respect and purpose for each individual, and to excel in providing quality service.
