THE COMMUNICATOR
SPRING 2021
Skilled Nursing Centers to provide COVID-19 Vaccine Greetings! I have some exciting news to share! The Ohio Department of Health has just approved our skilled nursing centers to become COVID-19 vaccine administration providers. Previously, we were dependent upon Walgreen's or CVS to administer the vaccine at our locations. Now, we are authorized to administer the vaccines ourselves, and availability of the vaccinations will become even more widespread. The Moderna vaccine will be utilized. The two main vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, have shown to be highly effective with very similar results. The side effects are typically mild, and are usually felt, if at all, after the second dose. For me personally, I received the Pfizer vaccine when it became available, and my only side effect was a mildly sore arm where the dose was administered. At first, we will be offering the vaccine to all staff and residents, and hopefully we can expand that to family members and the public. With COVID-19 cases becoming fewer and fewer, and the availability of the vaccine becoming more accessible, we can finally knock out COVID-19 from our lives! I cannot wait to be able to visit freely with family and friends, travel, and go about our lives without the virus. Warm Regards, Ken Bernsen, President

Nearly 11 years ago, a young woman decided she wanted to begin her health care

enrolled in Gables’ Nurse Aide Training and Competency Program.
This was the start of something special. She completed the program and became
an STNA in July 2010. She decided in 2018 to take an important next step in
her career — to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. She went to nursing school
while continuing as an STNA at Gables. Upon successfully completing nursing
school and passing her state boards, Nicole proudly transitioned to the equally
impressive Gables Care Center professional nurses’ team.
Nicole continues to amaze with her clinical skills and caring approach to our residents, while also drawing praise from
peers and supervisors. They say she’s “always willing to help,” “extremely dependable,” “caring and compassionate,”
and “a truly special person”. Nicole is a proud resident of Hopedale, Ohio, where she resides with her husband, Bernie.

By Heather Dockery | Director of Food & Nutritional Services
Dima began her professional career as the Regional Dietitian of Western
Ohio with Capital Health in November of 2019. While some employers
will shy away from a new grad for a position of this magnitude and
responsibility; I knew Dima had the passion and desire to care for the sick,
injured, and elderly. She jumped into her role with complete dedication
and fully committed herself to learning the specifics of Long Term Care.
She completed her orientation quickly and within 30 days was operating
completely independently.
During the pandemic she has used her time in the buildings to assist with
tray pass and feeding residents; then completes her charting responsibilities
in the evening and on the weekend. She does all of this while completing
her masters in dietetics!
She is so compassionate and so genuine; residents immediately trust her,
"She is so compassionate
and their nutrition status quickly improves. She has managed to maintain
the lowest weight loss percentage in the company for the past 12 months.
Everyone who has the pleasure of meeting or working with Dima has the
most wonderful things to say about her.
and so genuine; residents
We are truly blessed to have Dima at Capital Health, and I can only pray she immediately trust her."
