Cedarbrook Volunteers are Very Important People
WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE SO MANY AMAZING VOLUNTEERS
Welcome to the Merry Month of May. We’re looking forward to longer days with lots of sunshine and beau-
tiful flowers. Hopefully this virus will be leaving us soon and we will be protected by our vaccines. I know
many of you are anxious to get back to volunteering at Cedarbrook. We appreciate all that you have done in
the past and know we can count on you in our future. As always we work to provide a safe and pleasant envi-
ronment for all the Cedarbrook residents, we are looking forward to your return to our volunteer program
soon.
We are looking for people to “spring” into action as we are able to open our doors to volunteers and visitors.
We miss you. Cedarbrook appreciates all the kindness and support you have shown Cedarbrook during this
difficult time in our lives.
As we bring volunteers back in to Cedarbrook, there will be a training packet for everyone to complete.
This will help us all keep up-to-date.
Volunteers Needed
Family Visit Helpers – We are looking for volunteers to assist our staff with Family Visits. Volunteers would
help the staff with greeting the visitors, getting residents to and from their units, and sanitizing the visit area.
Volunteers would sign up for a 2 hour shift. We are having visits Monday through Friday, 9:30-4:30. This
will be a great help to our staff. Volunteers must have their vaccine and completed a two week waiting peri-
od. There will be a training packet for you to read and sign. If you are interested please contact the Volun-
teer Office right away to sign up.
A great big THANK YOU from all of us at Cedarbrook for the work that you do to help us and our residents.
Stay safe, happy and we hope to have you back with us very soon.
Please check out our website at: Cedarbrookseniorcare.com and like us on Facebook.
You can read the monthly newsletters on our website. We hope to see everyone soon.

In Light of the Cross
Has life been challenging this year? Do you struggle to find hope? Does life seem overwhelming? This passage
from John 14 can change the way we view life, “16I will ask the Father, and he will give you another ad-
vocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept
him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will
be in you” (NIV).
Something amazing happened when Jesus died on the cross. The curtain that hung in the temple,
that separated the area where God’s Spirit dwelt from the rest of the temple, was torn in two when
He died on the cross. Do you know what this means?!? We now have the opportunity for the Holy
Spirit of God to dwell within our hearts.
May 23, 2021 is Pentecost Sunday. This day occurs fifty days after Jesus was resurrected from the
dead. Jesus promised the disciples that He would send His Spirit to dwell in them and give them
power. That day occurred on Pentecost, which you can read about in Acts chapter two. On that day,
the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) filled one hundred and twenty of Jesus’ followers. This same Spirit
is available to us today!
How does life take on new meaning in light of the cross? We can now have the Holy Spirit of God
living and dwelling within us. His Spirit can now lead and guide us, help us through everything we
face, bring us encouragement, joy, purpose – a renewed purpose. Jesus said that the Spirit will not
only help us but will be with us forever. The Apostle Peter said, those who have the Holy Spirit have a
deposit that guarantees our Salvation.
This is all possible in light of the cross. Through Jesus’ death on a cross and resurrection on the
cross, we now have the opportunity for salvation. This salvation in Christ, and the indwelling of His
Holy Spirit, is only possible – In Light of the Cross!

Hillside News *Funded by Lehigh county tax payer dollars*
Although we discourage residents from keeping money and valuables in their room, we realize that
many of you will choose to do so. Therefore, we would like to offer these tips to help you keep your
money and valuables safe from loss or theft. Since you have access to the money in your account during
normal business hours, Monday through Friday, we suggest that you only withdraw the amount you
need for immediate use. If you need larger sums of money, for gifts or to reimburse your family
members for purchases made on your behalf, we suggest that you contact Financial Services to arrange
for payment by check. If you choose to keep money and valuables in your room, we highly recommend
that you secure such items in the locked drawer of your bedside cabinet. Keep your key with you, or
keep your key out of sight in a safe place. As soon as you realize that your money or property is
missing, it is important to report it immediately to the Charge Nurse. Cedarbrook will not assume
responsibility for replacing missing property kept by residents on their person or in their room.
However, we will take action to investigate. And try to recover your property, if possible. Finally, we
ask that you help us maintain a current inventory of your personal property. Any property that you pur-
chase or receive during your stay should be added to your Valuables Received after Admission Form,
including a description of the property. This information is essential when trying to locate missing
items.

May is packed with many food-theme related national holidays. Asparagus, Eggs, Salsa, Salads
and Strawberries are all recognized as national food-themes for the
month of May. Asparagus is high in folic acid and is a good source of po-
tassium and fiber. Eggs are high in protein and are a powerhouse of dis-
ease-fighting nutrients like Lutein. Strawber-
ries and Tomatoes are high in vitamin C and
are a good source of fiber and potassium
and have particularly high levels of antioxi-
dants such as Polyphenols and Lycopene.
Try to choose and incorporate these food
items into your diet all month long!

U.S. is approximately $14 billion.
Mother's Day became a recognized holiday in 1914 in the United States.
Mother's Day is celebrated in close to 50 countries in different parts of the world.
In France Mother's Day is referred to as Fete des Meres. Mother's Day is celebrated on the last Sunday
in May and is treated more like a family birthday. Families gather for a special meal.
In Spain Mother's Day is celebrated on the 8th of December. It is closely associated with Mother Mary -
the mother of Jesus.
Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, whose mother had organized women's groups to promote friendship and
health, originated Mother's Day. On May 12, 1907, she held a memorial service at her
late mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia.
