Regency Jewish Heritage, Somerset, NJ:
Regency Heritage wishes a hearty congratulations to our very own social worker, Julia Wolf upon her selection as our employee of the month!
In the words of our Regency Director of Social Services, Phylicia Joseph:
“I would like to select Julia Wolff for Social Services employee of the month. Julia starting working at Regency Heritage in August 2016. She is hard working, motivated and a great addition to the Regency team. I have watched her be extremely attentive to her residents and she provided great support to families. I feel very grateful to work with her, as she has become a reliable and devoted member of the Regency family. Julia, thank you for you hard work, it’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Here are several photos from the party:
We recently introduced Dr. Lebenthal to our staff of physicians.
Dr. Lebenthal will be spearheading our new and innovative CHF program at Regency Heritage.

Dr. Lebenthal is already conducting weekly training and in-services for our staff!
In fact, On January 23rd, 2017, Dr Mark Lebenthal, MD, DACP, FACC, RPVI and Yaffa Liebermann, CEO, PT/GCS launched the Cardiopulmonary program.
5 patients and 5 therapists (variety of PT, OT and SLP) participated in the first stage of the program. Dr Lebenthal began by explaining the anatomy and physiology of the cardiopulmonary system, with use of visual aids during the presentation.
The program continued under Yaffa Liebermann who explained the focus of the course of treatment: to teach correct breathing with long exhalation versus short exhalation and to increase mobility of joints and muscle strength. Yaffa introduced the “tissue test,” in which the patient blows into a tissue and counts the seconds of exhalation. This test was repeated several times to establish an average baseline per participant. Mobility and strengthening exercises were initiated to increase trunk mobility for better breathing and strengthening of lower extremities with focus on quadriceps.
The program was completed with a TUG test (Time Up and Go) which is a functional, standardized test for each participant. The patients were energetic, engaged and pleased with amount of knowledge they gained. This is a great start to the program!
Take a look at several photos from our first seminar:

Regency Grande would like to give a BIG Regency thank you to one of our own, who continues to be a source of pride for us for her compassionate interactions with our patients and their families.
Margaret was a co-worker with Mrs. Dorothy H. years ago at Saint Clare’s Hospital. Recently, Dorothy was admitted to Regency Grande for rehab and Margaret worked hand in hand with Dorothy and her daughter Darleen, to provide them with a stellar experience. This morning, we received an email from Darleen, who wrote as follows: “I just want to make sure you know how wonderful Margaret McConnell is. She has been a real life saver. She has helped us so much and has gone above and beyond to help us. She has wonderful customer service skills. She is not only helpful, pleasant, answers promptly, if she doesn’t know the answer to something, she finds out for you. Above all, she is very compassionate!” Thank you Margaret!!!
