to Karla if you are interested.
Carol sends this update:
Everything is going as expected with
my knee replacement. I’m getting
stronger every day and doing my
physical therapy.
I hope to be at Luther Park to visit

A NOTE FROM THE NURSES: Pneumonia Vaccinations
There are now two different types of Pneumonia Vaccinations available. The Centers for Disease Control And
Prevention and many physicians are now recommending getting both vaccines.
PNEUMOCOCCAL CONJUGATE VACCINE (PCV13)
The new vaccine for children and adults, called pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13 or Prevnar 13®),
protects against the 13 types of pneumococcal bacteria that cause most of the severe illness in children and
adults. The vaccine can also help prevent some ear infections. PCV13 protects children and adults by preparing
their bodies to fight the bacteria. PCV13 is also recommended to help prevent pneumococcal disease in adults
19 years or older with certain medical conditions and in all adults 65 years or older.
PNEUMOCOCCAL POLYSACCHARIDE VACINE
The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23 or Pneumovax 23®) protects against 23 types of
pneumococcal bacteria. It is recommended for all adults 65 years and older and for anyone who is 2 years and
older at high risk for disease(http://www.cdc.gov/pneumococcal/about/risk-transmission.html). PPSV23 is also
recommended for adults 19 through 64 years of age who smoke cigarettes or who have asthma.
It is also important to get an influenza vaccine every year because having the flu increases your chances of
getting pneumococcal disease.
Luther Park nurses recommend that all residents speak with their doctors regarding appropriate
vaccinations.
WINTER WEATHER Our goal is to have sidewalks cleaned and clear of snow by 8:00 AM and the driveways by 10:00 AM. Howev-
er, the weather doesn’t always cooperate. So we will do our best to get everything cleared as quickly as possi-
ble. If you have a car in the parking lot, Jens will be contacting you to either get a spare key or to have a place
just inside your door where a staff member can get your keys. We will clean the car off, move it, plow and
then return your car to the parking spot it was in, and return your keys. Please do not pull your car all the way
forward so it is over the sidewalk as this makes it more difficult to shovel or blow off the sidewalks and dan-
gerous for those walking. If you have a car and you don’t drive in the winter, please consider relocating the car
to a relative or friends home.
UPCOMING SEASONAL &HOLIDAY DECORATING This is your home and we encourage you to decorate and do as you wish, but since we are licensed by the State
of Idaho there are a few rules and regulations that we all have to follow in order to stay safe. Please review the
following before you start decorating:
The use of live and/or cut Christmas trees or other decorations such as wreaths and swags is prohibited.
Wreaths on apartment doors may not contain any real plant materials, such as pine cones, leaves or flowers
Artificial trees and other decorations are permitted provided they are labeled as being flame retardant.
The use of plastic or paper door cover decorations is prohibited such as the full door-size decorations or
wrapping your door with wrapping paper. The addition of flammable decorations creates a flashover haz-
ard that can overwhelm the sprinkler system.
All lights must be UL listed, be in good condition and plugged directly into an outlet. Plugging one light
string into the end of another and the use of extension cords and multiple adapters is prohibited.
Candles, or the burning of candles, is prohibited. Residents are welcome to use non-burning candles.
The use of outlet adapters is prohibited. Residents may use a multi-strip but it must have a surge protector.
