Breast Cancer Awareness at Meridian Hospitals

I was at Bayshore Hospital in Holmdel this morning and will soon be on to Riverview Hospital in Red Bank, NJ.

Both of these hospitals are Meridian facilities and act as feeder hospitals to discharge their patients to our magnificent Regency Park Nursing and Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center, located just minutes away in Hazlet.

The Regency Park Post-Acute Care Center is a singular 5 star rated facility by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

Well, just as in previous years, Meridian is painting the town pink, to raise awareness for breast cancer.

I blogged it last year when I visited Riverview Hospital in Red bank and I actually participated in one of their events.

This morning, I noted all of the pink decals at Bayshore Hospital.

When I’m done in the Hazlet, Holmdel, Red Bank Area (Regency Park is the very best nursing home in the area), I will be visiting the breathtaking Regency Jewish Heritage Post-Acute Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Somerset, NJ!!

Regency Jewish Heritage has also earned the coveted 5 Star Rating for Excellence!!!

We are proud of it too!

Gifted Poet at Regency Park Nursing!

Mr. Ray Wares has been living with us at Regency Park for quite some time. He is a tremendous asset to our community and is also a gifted poet.

yours truly with my good friend, Mr. Wares!

Many of our staff members have been the lucky beneficiaries of special poems written by Mr. Wares especially for them!
Here is one of Ray’s most favorite compositions:

 

SPARROWS

They are small creatures of G-d
Who live off seeds of a flower pod.
Their nests are made of twigs and leaves
Most of which are built in trees.

They protect their young in their own way
It’s done each and every day.
They keep them under their wings in a storm
And it also keeps them comfortable and warm.

For food they hunt all around
Sometimes it comes off the ground.
In trees they chirp and chatter
When danger is near they scatter.

Up in trees or on the ground
Are where these little birds are found.
Their color is mostly “rust”
But in G-d they only trust.
