Zero Tolerance Dear Families, The team at the Village of Tansley Woods takes pride in providing a high standard of care to our residents. Our philosophy is to provide “Resident Centered Care” and families are an important part of the care circle. We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with a summary of the “Abuse Prevention” program. The intention is to look for support from you to promote “ZERO TOLERANCE” for any behavior that might be abusive towards our residents. Tansley Woods is home of our residents and we aspire to create a safe environment for our residents, families and team members so we can establish and foster relationships to promote resident wellbeing. Please speak to the village office to obtain information about what constitutes resident abuse. Residents suffering from Dementia, due to their compromised cognition cannot be held responsible for their actions in similar fashion as residents, families and team members. To obtain a completed copy of our policy, please contact the Village office or speak to any leadership team member. Respectfully Augustin James
Assistant General Manager The Village of Tansley Woods
A spoonful from food services ***GOOD FOOD *** BOOST YOUR MOOD***
If you go through the days in a fog or feeling irritable, tweaking your diet could help. Thanks
to rapid advances in the field of nutritional psychology, scientists now know far more about
how diet affects mental health than they did just a decade ago.
INCREASE MOTIVATION AND CONCENTARTION
Mood Booster: Black-eyed peas
These legumes are loaded with folate, a B vitamin that is essential for the production of neuro-
transmitters associated with motivation and pleasure, such as dopamine and serotonin. Low or
imbalanced folate levels can lead to mood fluctuations, as well as poor memory and concentra-
tion. “Consuming folate regularly also assist with a process called methylation , which helps
maintain the structure and connectivity of the circuits in your brain” . What’s more black-eyed
peas are a good source of iron. “If you have low iron stores or are anemic, your blood is less
oxygenated, which makes you feel fatigued.”
TAME ANGER
Mood Booster: Almonds
These nuts are good source of amino acid tryptophan, which is one of the building blocks of
serotonin, thought to play a role in regulating your emotional impulses.

A spoonful from food services Continued... BANISH BRAIN FOG
Mood Booster: Spinach
Not only does this power green provide folate, but it also packs lutein and
zeaxanthin, carotenoids that may help reduce the frustrating brain fog
many people experience as they age. “Lutein is a major carotenoid in the
brain that helps with memory and cognition.”
CALM YOUR MIND
Mood Booster: Green Tea
This tea is high in antioxidants called polythenols, which help prevent
damage in the brain from free radicals. These harmful molecules build up
as you grow older, a process that can be accelerated by smoking, alcohol,
and pollution. “Your need for antioxidants increases as the brain starts ac-
cumulating more free radicals.” That accumulation puts you at greater risk of developing feel-
ings of sadness, hopelessness and tension. A bonus perk: Green tea also contains the amino
acid L-theanine, which has a calming effect.
FEEL MORE RESTED
Mood Booster: Tart Cherry Juice
If restless nights are making you cranky during the day, incorporate this drink
into your diet. Tart cherry juice is a source of tryptophan (and compounds that
increase its bioavailability) and the hormone melatonin, both of which help reg-
ulate sleep.

CANADA TURNS 151 THIS JULY!
The PAL team challenges YOU (residents, family members and team members) to
reach 151 mins of physical activity each week throughout the month of July
What does Physical Activity consist of?
Any bodily movement that involves energy expenditure!
1) Participating in group exercise classes
2) Taking the stairs instead of the elevator
3) Taking advantage of the nice weather and going for a walk
According to CSEP (Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology):
— To achieve health benefits adults aged 65 and over should accumulate 150
mins of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity per week
in bouts of 10 mins or more
— It is beneficial to add muscle and bone strengthening activities using ma-
jor muscle groups, at least 2 days a week
— Those with poor mobility should perform physical activity to enhance bal-
ance and prevent falls
— More physical activity provides greater health benefits
Let’s keep track of those minutes this July!!
