Dear Residents, Families, Team Members and Friends of Culpepper
Garden! It is only a few short months until Spring! For those of
you who are baseball fans the pitchers and catchers report for
spring training in three weeks, of course that is in Florida and
Arizona. This means that we in the Mid-Atlantic have a few more
months of potential winter storms and cold snaps. Please closely
monitor weather conditions and take every care when out in this
weather. Ice is often very hard to see, especially in the dark, and
can form quickly in cold temperatures so step carefully. Keep an
eye out and report any issues to the front desk, please.
The Hot Corner issues for this month in our community: Please
return grocery carts back to the main level. They are to be used by
everyone, so please, do not keep them in your unit as this makes it
difficult for others who are expecting them to be there. We are
receiving reports and seeing stories in the news about various
phone scams targeting the elderly. It is unfortunate but please be
alert when answering your phone for these scams. Be sus-picious for
ANY requests made by phone, as it is not normal! Many common scams
are:
¨ Social Security Fraud. The caller states that you have been
accused of Social Security Fraud and will be prosecuted. The SSA
does not call people with this type of issue! This is a scam.
¨ Family Member in Jail. The caller states that your family
member has been arrested and that they are the police/sheriff. You
are asked for bail to get them out of jail. Law enforcement never
demands bail money by phone. This is a scam.
¨ Internal Revenue Service. The caller says that you have been
audited and are being sued by the IRS for unpaid taxes. The IRS
never contacts people by phone demanding payment. It’s a scam.
Recent moves due to the renovation: The weekly Movie Nights and
daily Exercise Class have been moved to the 3rd floor lobby. The
Clinic has been moved to the office formerly occupied by the
Financial Services (Your Money Manager) which is now located in the
Administration wing.
As the renovation moves along, we will finally see the return of
our common areas that have been completed!! The first will be the
public restrooms which will be reopened in February. This will be
the start of many of these spaces being turned over for use.
In closing, with all the disruption and confusion to our
community while we are under renovation it is important to look
after each other. It is dark, the weather is bad and there is
construction everywhere. It is amazing to me how well our community
is handling this challenging time. It is testimony to the strength
and positive nature of our community! Think Spring!! See you around
the building. Warm Regards, Paul.
From the Director of Property Operations

RECERTIFICATION UPDATE
5
We appreciate your continuing efforts to prepare for and
actively participate in the annual Recertification process,
required for residents of Culpepper Garden.
Many of you, during Recertification interviews, have asked me to
describe the full scope and complexity of the Recertification
process.
The process can best be described as four competing trains,
running on the same track.
The first train is our advance preparation for your
Recertification interview. We must carefully review your previous
year’s Recertification documents; prepare new verification letters;
and confirm the contact information for each of your verification
sources. Each Recertification can entail anywhere from 5 to 15
separate verification letters, as well as 11 HUD required
forms.
The second train is the actual interview meeting we conduct
together, at which time we review your Financial Questionnaire;
sign prepared verification letters; create any new letters
required, and review, complete, and sign the 11 HUD required
forms.
The third train is verification of income, assets, and medical
expenses. We employ the verification letters you sign during your
interview. We do make every effort to release signed verification
letters immediately following your interview. Some Recertification
sources require 15 – 20 business days or longer to respond to our
requests.
The fourth train is quality control and data entry. We carefully
review each returned verification letter to ensure it exactly
matches the information you provided during your interview, and the
information is entered into our computer records completely and
correctly.
Please keep in mind, all four trains are running simultaneously
in the Recertification office all year long.
It is important that you keep your Recertification appointments,
as scheduled, so the process continues to run smoothly and quickly
for everyone.

RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT - GLORIA LIBERATORE Gloria’s parents met and
married in Naples, Italy, and immigrated to the United States by
way of Ellis Island, NY. Her father was a tailor and worked at
Brooks Brothers until retirement and her mother cared for their
home and children. Gloria was born and raised in Staten Island, NY,
the youngest of seven children, with three older sisters and three
older brothers. All six siblings have passed away and she misses
them very much. After graduating from high school, she worked as a
typist at General Electric International on Madison Avenue in
Manhattan. She worked there for five years, when the company moved
to Connecticut. Since she didn’t want to move, she next worked
at
EBASCO Engineering for five years. She was the last to leave the
family home and lived with her parents for 42 years until they
passed away in 1973. At that time, she moved to the Bronx where she
had an apartment on a lower floor from one of her sisters. While
she was looking for a job in the Bronx, she happened to meet a
woman on a park bench who lived in the same apartment building. The
woman showed her an ad in the New York Times about a job at the
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), across the street from their
apartment. She recommended that Gloria take the DMV application
test; Gloria did so, passed, and started her new job the following
Monday. She worked at the DMV at its Information Desk and Road Test
sections for the next 20 years. It was the only DMV in the Bronx so
Gloria was used to dealing with hundreds of people every day. After
20 years, Gloria retired from the DMV and moved to Washington, DC,
where her brother worked at the World Bank. He helped her move to
Friendship Terrace in the DC Tenleytown area. Through a work
placement program, she worked as a library assistant at nearby
Woodrow Wilson High School for ten years. She next worked on
weekends at the Invertebrate Exhibit at the National Zoo where the
star attraction was a giant Pacific octopus, the largest octo-pus
species in the world, named Pandora. (The daily octopus feeding at
11 a.m. and 3 p.m. is one of the most popular animal demonstrations
at the Zoo.) Gloria admitted visitors to the exhibit, counting them
with a clicker, and answered visitors’ questions. On weekends,
visitors numbered about 2,000/day.
Gloria’s niece learned about Culpepper Garden and arranged for
her to apply. Gloria was fortunate to be accepted soon after
applying, in 2011. Her apartment is scheduled to be renovated in
March 2019 and she looks forward to having new appliances,
cabinets, a walk-in shower, and other wonderful features. She is
fortunate to have an aide, Ms. Ellison from Home Care Partners, who
helps her on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Gloria enjoys attending the Coffee Club, and she was a reader
for preschool children from Barrett Elementary School over the past
year. A friend sometimes gives her a ride to St. Thomas More
Church. She goes to Walter Reed Community Center on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, where she learns Tai Chi, participates in strength
training, plays Sudoku and bingo, and relaxes and en-joys herself.
Gloria is a lovely lady who is very much at home at Culpepper
Garden.
