The Presidents Message

ormally, we at the Armenian Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (ANRC) do not make New Years resolutions. However, if we were to make a resolution, it would be that we would do our best to maintain the premier standing of the ANRC as the number one nursing and rehabilitation center in Bergen County. We can not say this too often so we will repeat it one more time. This is due to the dedication of our staff members who devote their hours in taking care of our residents as their number one priority. Thanks to the inspiration that they get from our hard-working Administrator, Matt Russo, they are right on course to repeat this accomplishment again this coming year. We also want to thank our volunteer Board of Trustees who meet on a regular basis to address all the necessary details of the ANRC to keep it in the forefront as the best home in the area. Thanks again to our visiting pastors, priests and archbishops who come on a regular basis to perform weekly worship services with our residents. This month we are saluting our managerial staff of the ANRC. On the front cover from left to right is Executive Chef Alan Fass, (who is in charge of all the nutritious food that is served to our guests and residents), Business Office Manager Rosario Balbuena (who complies with all the necessary paper work which is required by both the State and the Federal Government), Activities Director Sandy Cortelyou (who exemplifies the dedication which is needed to satisfy the needs and requirements of all of our residents and their families), Receptionist Donna Stellatos (whose cheerful voice greets all callers), Physical Therapist Ahmad Jamal (who treats our residents with tenderness), Patient Care Coordinator Maggy Petrosian (who does all our tough scheduling), Human Resources Coordinator Rosann Pellegrino (a faithful worker dealing with the personnel requirements), Director of Nursing Shakeh Bautista (with her devoted staff who keeps our patients in good health), Licensed Clinical Social Worker Carol Somerville (who is a very dedicated worker), MDS Coordinator Mariafe Yu (who is always ready to help), Administrator Matthew L. Russo (ANRCs exemplary administrator), and Physical Plant Manager Howard Torossian (HT Statewide Maintenance who maintains our home spotless with his crew). Thanks also to our Friends of the Armenian Home (FAH) members who devote an enormous amount of time constantly thinking of ways to better the life of our patients and who are continually helping to make our ANRC a home to be proud of. q

What is Depression?
Maggy N. Petrosian, RN, CDP

ery often, when we think of a person who has depression, images of sadness, crying or loneliness come to mind. But, there are many symptoms we do not often associate with emotional distress. For example, did you know that digestive problem, or unexplained aches and pains may signal depression? Depression includes a cluster of both emotional and physical symptoms that are controlled by chemicals called neurotransmitters. Usually, emotional symptoms are used to detect depression. But research has shown that physical symptoms are very common in depression and should not be overlooked. The mind body link Nerve pathways determine how your body handles pain sensation and emotions. Your spinal cord is like your bodys main street, sending messages back and forth to organs, nerves and cells. These messages are relayed by neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate a persons emotions and sensitivity to pain. If these neurotransmitters are out of balance, a person may become depressed and be more likely to feel physical symptoms or pre-existing pain may become worse. The combination of physical and emotional effects of depression can truly interfere with a persons quality of life. Your health care provider relies on the information you share to keep you healthy. Even though it can be difficult to talk about certain things, there is no need to feel rushed or embarrassed with your health care provider. He or she is there to help. If you are diagnosed with depression you need to know that it is common and highly treatable. Some people have difficulty accepting their depression because they feel it shows weakness or laziness. This is not true. Most are grateful to find reason for their symptoms and to know they can be treated effectively. Remember, depression is not your fault; it is a real

illness with medical causes. Your habits or personality did not cause your depression and you do not have to face it alone. Your health care provider will discuss treatment options with you and together you can arrive at the best course of action.

The Pacemaker and You

Shakeh Bautista, RN

he heart has a natural pacemaker called the sinus node which produces electrical impulses. These electrical impulses cause the heart to contract and pump the blood throughout the body. The impulses travel from the natural pacemaker cells down through an electrical pathway enabling the heart muscle walls to produce contractions. Sometimes, imbalances happen and interfere with the electrical impulse flow or with the natural pacemaker rhythm. When this occurs, the pacemaker cannot do its job as well as it should, and the heart cannot pump the blood throughout the body. The body is then deprived of necessary oxygen and nourishment. When this happens, a physician may recommend an artificial pacemaker to regulate the heartbeat. The two most important parts of an artificial pacemaker are the generator and tiny wires. The generator is a small battery unit which produces impulses to the mycordium, which is the heart muscle. These impulses are timed to flow at regular intervals, pumping the blood almost as well as it did before. Most pacemakers work only on demand, which means they work only when needed. They have a sensing device that shuts off the artificial pacemaker. But, if the heart rate is slower than the set rate, the sensing device turns the pacemaker on again. It is something like a thermostat. It turns on and off according to the heart rhythm and rate. Modern pacemakers last much longer than earlier ones. If the batteries are wearing down, the pacemaker will slow down. That means the battery needs to be changed. However, a sudden decline of the heart rate indicates a more serious condition which requires immediate attention. There are certain things you will have to learn to do when you have a pacemaker: 1) Learn to count your pulse and keep a record 2) Take your medications on a regular basis 3) Follow instructions regarding exercise and diet 4) Inform dentists and other health professionals that you have a pacemaker. 5) Report to your cardiologist if you feel dizzy, faint, or have difficulty breathing and start gaining weight.

6) Always carry your identification card 7) Keep all your doctor appointments and get your pacemaker checked regularly. Modern pacemakers have built-in features to protect them from most electrical interferences caused by electronic devices. Thousands of people today have pacemakers that enable them to lead full and productive lives. q

Archbishop Khajag Barsamian Visits the Home

n Tuesday, January 15th, the Armenian Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (ANRC) welcomed Archbishop Khajag Barsamian along with Reverend Schnork Souin, Deacon Sebuh Oscherician and Deacon Artur Petroyan. The clergy visited the ANRC for an Armenian Christmas blessing celebration. Throughout the years Archbishop Barsamian has blessed the home, residents, and staff during our Christmas season. The ANRC is very thankful for his devotion to our building. It is a joy to receive his prayers for our home and residents well-being. We thank the Archbishop for spreading the good news of our Lord and Saviors birth and we look forward to sharing our time with him again. q

he Christian nations of the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with much joy and with special services in all churches. Until the 5th century all Christian churches celebrated Christmas and Jesus baptism on January 6. Later, some churches started to celebrate Christmas on December 25. However, the Armenian Church continues to celebrate Christmas on the baptism of Jesus on January 6. The night before Christmas the church celebrates a special mass. Many people light their candles from the churchs candle and take it home to light their homes. During the service the announcement of Jesus birth is given in the Armenian tradition: Christ is born and is revealed with an answer given again in the Armenian tradition: Good tidings to you and to us. The residents and the staff of the Armenian Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (ANRC) celebrated Christmas with the members of the Friends of the Armenian Home (FAH). In February, the FAH members once again visited the ANRC to celebrate another Armenian holiday - Poun Paregentan. During their visit there was a joyous atmosphere everywhere. They brought with them gifts, fruits and desserts for the residents. During the celebrations there was Armenian music and the joy was obvious on the faces of the residents. The residents and the staff of the ANRC would like to thank the FAH members for their thoughtful gestures to bring some cheer to the Home. q
