Ken started collecting bed pans back in 1972, when they owned Bechtold’s (now known as Crescent Court). His wife, Diane, ran Bechtold’s and when they took over there was already a collection of bedpans, so they just kept the antique collection going. The Heffels collect lots of antiques, and since they’re in the medical field the bed pans were a natural fit. Now, the bedpans are used to hold candy and flowers in business offices throughout Vienna, and are kept to be a fun conversation point.

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

3/4 cup plus up to 2 tablespoons extra all-purpose flour

1/2 cup light brown sugar

Heaped 1/4 teaspoon table salt

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided

1 cup small-diced rhubarb

1 cup small-diced strawberries

Powdered sugar, for decoration, if desired

Directions Heat oven to 375 degrees F. For easy removal, line bottom

and two sides of 8-by-8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. No need to bother (and no greasing needed) if you plan to serve them right in the pan, as I did.

Place oats, 3/4 cup flour, brown sugar and salt in bottom of baking pan and mix. Pour melted butter over, and stir until clumps form. If the clumps feel soft or look overly damp, add the remaining 2 tablespoons flour. Set aside 1/2 cup of the crumble mixture. Press the rest of the crumb mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan.

Spread half the fruit over the crust. Sprinkle it evenly with cornstarch, then lemon juice, and 1/2 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Spread remaining fruit over this, and top with second 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Scatter reserved crumbs over fruit and bake bars for 30 to 40 minutes (firmer fruits will take longer), until fruit is bubbly and crisp portion is gold-en and smells toasty and amazing.

Let cool in pan; I do this in the fridge, where they become crisp once chilled (less so at room temperature). Cut into squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving. Store leftovers in fridge.

What is Occupational Therapy (OT)?

According to the American Occupational Therapy Association, “Occupational therapy is the only profession that helps people across the lifespan to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations). Occupational therapy practitioners enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability.” Sounds pretty official. So what does that jumble actually mean? And what’s the difference between physical therapy and occupational therapy? Kristi Passey, Vienna’s Rehab Director and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant explains. “What I always tell people is, physical therapy is working on your lower body strengthening, your core, your balance and your mobility. So you can get to walking or moving and be able to do transfers (for example from wheel chair to toilet or bed). OT is more of a functional base. So occupational therapy, it’s the occupations of all of the things you do every day, your motor skills, they’re all occupations. So we take those tasks, that are func-tional and purposeful, and that’s what we address. So for example, I have people back here and I have them folding laundry while they’re working on their standing balance. I’m having them doing stuff in the kitchen. I’m doing a lot of fine motor, getting out of bed, going to the closet, can they dress themselves, can they clean themselves? Physical therapy they’re going to make sure someone can get to the bathroom but they’re not so focused on what they do once they get to the bathroom, that’s where OT comes in.’ ‘OT is definitely more of a functional base approach. It’s really focused on what’s purposeful. So if I get somebody in here I like to ask them, ‘ What’s important to you? What do you like to do?’ And let’s say I had someone who was an avid golfer, I’ll bring in a putter and a green so we’re going to work on things that mean something. It makes sense to why we’re doing something. There’s purpose to it and it makes sense.”

Q: How long have you been in Occupational Therapy? A: I’ve been doing Occupational Therapy (OT) actually since 1990. I started as a rehab aid for Lodi Memorial. I helped the physical therapy and occupational therapy department in their outpatient, in patient and the acute rehab. Q: Where did you go to school? A: I went to Sacramento City College and was in their very first graduating class (for Occupational Therapy) in 1991. Q: What types of therapy have your worked in? A: I’ve worked in several settings. I’ve worked in acute rehab, I’ve worked in home health, I’ve done pediatrics, I’ve worked at a school for severe autism, I’ve worked all over. Q: What drew you to working in this setting, in a skilled nursing and rehab setting? A: You know when I was younger I always thought I was going to work with kids. I didn’t know how the older population would relate to me. But when I started it was

completely opposite of what I thought. It was people saying things like, “Oh you remind me of my granddaughter “ and people just wanted to share their stories. Then it became like this virtual history lesson every day and I was building relationships that I never thought I could with this population and I just fell in love. I absolutely fell in love. I thought, I could work with the same person every day for 8 weeks and every day is a new day be-cause there’s just so much to learn about t somebody. And just knowing that even though the job can be hard, and it can be depressing sometimes, it can be so rewarding. I just wake up and think, “Today I just need to make a difference in one person’s life.” Just one, not everybody, just one. And it’s the little things. It didn’t become a job, it became a lifestyle. I think everyday, “This is what I was meant to do.” I don’t’ think of it as a job, it’s fun. I get to go to work and be with people I like, I’m on my feet all day, I’m laughing, I’m crying, I’m everything and I’m making a difference. We all know we’re going to age, so let’s help people make the best out of the last years of their life. Let’s live for today and let’s make it the best day. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Q: How long have you been with Vienna? A: I started with Vienna originally in 2004 and I was at Vienna until 2014. I took a little hiatus, I call it studying abroad (laughs). I was given an opportunity to venture out and I know there’s so much this field can offer and I have that personality where I need to know a little bit about everything to really feel like I’m well rounded. So I had that opportunity to go to Assisted Living and Memory Care, and I really have a passion for memory care, and so I took it. The entire time though I missed Vienna, because Vienna is family. So those entire three years I felt detached. I kept getting calls asking if I was ready to come back and I toyed with it a little bit. I’m one who doesn’t like to give up so I didn’t want to quit this other opportunity, so I struggled, but at the end of day, after a lot of thought, I just knew where I belonged and it was at Vienna. Q:Anything else you would like to share? A: I have a lot of energy (laughs). I believe you’re only as old as you act and I tell my patients that every day. Each day is a new day so let’s get through it!
