Greetings!
Welcome to AALHA News. Summer is drawing to a close, the kids are back in school, and we hope it's going to start cooling down soon. September is also the month AALHA members vote for their following year's Board of Directors. The space normally dedicated to our Home of the Month is being used to address this very important election. If you have a comment or a question, please send it to information@aalha.org. Thank you.

Please read each nominee's bio, cast your vote for a total of 12 positions, and mail that ballot back to AALHA in the enclosed self-addressed envelope.

A Recap of Central Arizona Chapter August Forum
The education session was presented by Martha Alderman, of the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services. Martha's presentation provided excellent information for AALHA members - information which you can use to help your residents (and their families) find possible additional funding for their long term care. If anyone would like a copy of Martha's handout, please send an email to Linda at admin@aalha.org.
August is the month AALHA accepts nominations for the coming year's Board of Directors. Those candidates present were introduced and given a few minutes to tell the audience about themselves. The votes will be counted and your 2012 Board of Directors will be announced at the September 28 meeting.

A Recap of Southern Arizona Chapter August Forum
We are excited about the potential for our new chapter. Each month more people attend and we learn more about how AALHA can help those in the southern Arizona area. Joanna Mitchell (AALHA President-elect) led a discussion about the recent DHS letter regarding emergency preparedness and evacuation plans. It was a very informative discussion for care homes and providers alike. Please see the September meeting announcement above, for information on our September meeting. Please invite other care home owners and managers - as well as providers - to these monthly meetings to introduce others to AALHA.

A word from our sponsor: 
Get the Skin on Skin Breakdown
The skin is our outer layer of protection from many environmental stresses. In addition, it assists in regulating our body temperature and other body functions. Protecting and maintaining healthy skin for your residents is important. As we age, the skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and frequently drier. In addition, the healing process tends to be slower. Therefore, residents should be observed regularly for signs of skin breakdown. And, steps should be implemented to reduce your residents' exposure to skin breakdown to lessen further damage.
For your FREE Copy of Get the Skin on Skin Breakdown, including sample policies, procedures, stages and assessments, please e-mail Kathi@pcalic.com, visit our website: www.pcalic.com or call 1-800-673-2558.
