CARILION CLINIC AT WARM HEARTH VILLAGE GROUNDBREAKING
On Friday, February 9, project partners and stakeholders assembled to celebrate and break ground on the new Carilion Clinic at Warm Hearth Village. Fralin and Waldron will construct the 2,300 sf medical facility designed by C2Architecture that will provide wellness and acute care, screenings, immunizations, physical exams and primary care services. Financing is being provided by Union.
The project is slated for completion in the fall of 2018 and will serve not only residents and employees of Warm Hearth Village but the greater community as well. It will be open three days per week initially with potential for growth to meet demand.
Ferne Moschella, President & CEO for Warm Hearth Village told the crowd, “I am proud to see this project come to fruition and equally proud to have Carilion as our partner as we seek new ways to enrich the lives of our residents.”

RESIDENTS IN NEED OF PERSONAL CARE ITEMS
The Warm Hearth Foundation Micah’s Personal Care Program is in need of toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, laundry detergent and all-purpose cleaner. As you may recall, the Personal Care program is an offshoot of our Micah's Soup for Seniors program and benefits seniors in need on our campus. Many of these seniors struggle to make ends meet each month, but your generous donations help to fill that gap!
If you would like to make donation or are a member of a civic group, church or other organization that would like to conduct a supply dirve, please call Karen Nelson at 540-443-3406 or email knelson@warmhearth.org.

PURÉE PERFECTION
Chefs at Kroontje Health Care Center are leading the way in learning new skills and techniques designed to enrich the dining experience for residents in long-term care. They have been perfecting the art of pureed foods for those with restricted diets and swallowing difficulties. The PURform Purée training was offered at Warm Hearth Village in January to chefs from across the region and provided creative new ways to make puréed foods look and taste as close to the real thing as possible. Everything from cinnamon buns to spaghetti to subs can be pureed and formed into appetizing dishes. One key element of the training is the taste testing process where chefs experience the food for themselves and make necessary adjustments to their creations.
Jen Rose is the Nutritionist at Kroontje Health Care Center and says that a restricted diet can often make eating less enjoyable which creates problems with not only maintaining a healthy diet but also the socialization aspect of mealtime. She adds that finding tasty, puréed meals is crucial for seniors’ health and emotional well-being.
