South Weymouth dental practice honored for donating dental services to elderly and vulnerable patients.

The Toothboss, Dr. Richard Wolfert, with David Masci

SOUTH WEYMOUTH, MA

As a dentist, Richard Wolfert, DMD, thought he had seen enough plaque. That was until he received a plaque of a different kind—an award–from Donated Dental Services (DDS).

DDS is a national non-profit organization comprised of nearly 20,000 dental professionals who donate dental services for people with disabilities or who are elderly or medically at-risk. The South Weymouth dentist is one of those providers.

“We’ve been involved with DDS over the past few years. The patients we’ve treated have needed everything from a full set of dentures to major dental work like root canals and crowns,” said Wolfert. “I believe that my treatment makes these patients healthier, makes them feel better about themselves, and makes me feel great to be able to provide these services to such a deserving people.”

One of the patients Dr. Wolfert has recently treated is David Masci of Lexington, Mass. Masci is awaiting transplants for both his pancreas and kidney and undergoes dialysis treatments three times a week, three to four hours per visit. So while some might consider sitting in a dentist’s chair for several hours for major dental work to be a nightmare, for Masci it’s a blessing.

“It’s a pleasure to be able to smile again,” said Masci.

DDS provides an invaluable resource to so many who need dental care. In fact, since 1985, when DDS launched, 109,843 vulnerable people have received more than $215 million worth of dental services for seriously neglected dental diseases. Dr. Wolfert is the sole provider of DDS services on the South Shore.

“The patients we treat have some serious problems but they usually leave here smiling and making me smile,” said Wolfert.

If you or somebody you know is a vulnerable person in need of dental care, please visit DDS’s Dental Lifeline at http://www.dentallifeline.org or by calling 888.471.6334.

Dr. Wolfert’s practice, Smiles by the Toothboss, is located at 1121 Main Street in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. He offers a offers a wide range of dental services, including comprehensive examinations, sedation dentistry, cosmetics, tooth-colored restorations, partial and full dentures; dental implants, periodontics (early cases treated) and emergency services (24-hour emergency phone number available). For more information, you can visit Dr. Wolfert’s website at www.toothboss.com or call 781-335-0604 to schedule a consultation.

Charity run/walk makes a run for new sponsors. Second annual Run for Faith 4-mile run welcomes new sponsors

PLYMOUTH, MA…

The Run for Faith recently welcomed several Plymouth businesses as corporate sponsors for the second-year event, which will take place on Sunday, August 19 at 9am at historic Plimouth Plantation.  Those sponsors include Newfield House, Mayflower Food and Spirits, Cold Spring Club, Unity Club, and Mama Mia’s.

“As a girl from the Midwest and the daughter of a Methodist minister, my mother’s faith was a huge part of who she was—even though she preferred to be called Marcy over her given name of Faith,” said Matthew Romboldi, Run for Faith race director and son of Faith “Marcy” Romboldi, for whom the race is held. “We certainly appreciate the faith our sponsors have shown in us, especially those supporting the Run for Faith for a second year and what happened with the weather last year.”

Last year’s took place the morning of Hurricane Irene. The race went off as scheduled with all runners completing the course just before the bad weather started. Adds Romboldi, “I think Mom was watching over us, doing her part to make sure we got the race in. Let’s hope we don’t need that kind of divine intervention this year.”

In addition to the four-mile course that starts at Plimouth Plantation, the Run for Faith will include a special Stroller division. Other family-friendly features include a jumpy house at the end of the race and free sno-cones.

The Run for Faith is organized by Run for Faith, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to commemorate the special life of Faith “Marcy” Romboldi.  Last year’s race helped raise money for several Plymouth non-profits and charitable organizations, including a $5,000 donation to the Yawkey Center for Cancer Care and ovarian cancer research. The Run for Faith also contributed two $2500 scholarships for two Plymouth high school students: Graham Allen from Plymouth South High School and Nathan Fuller from Plymouth North High School.

Besides the latest additions, the second annual Run for Faith is being sponsored by a number of other Plymouth businesses, including: Nolan Schelle Insurance, Marty’s GMC, Liddell Brothers Traffic Safety Systems, 99.1 WPLM, Powderhorn Press, Plimoth Plantation and Girls on the Go.

“We’re grateful for the tremendous support for Run for Faith so far. Like any fundraising effort, there’s always room for additional sponsors and participants,” added Romboldi. “This is a Plymouth race supporting Plymouth causes and we welcome the support of area businesses.”

Businesses looking to sponsor the second annual Run for Faith can e-mail  info@runforfaithplymouth.org or call 508-400-0751.

South Coast Improvement Adopts ICRA Matrix in Construction and Renovation of Care Facilities

South Coast Improvement, one of the largest design, construction and management companies in the Northeast has adopted and implemented the Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Matrix of Precautions for Construction and Renovation of long-and short-term care and senior care facilities.

The ICRA Matrix was developed primarily for the hospital setting however South Coast Improvement owner Tom Quinlan believes that the implementation of this formal set of precautions is extremely beneficial in the long term care, short term care and senior living setting as they share many similar characteristics as the traditional hospital.

It is a multidisciplinary, organizational documented process for construction and renovation that takes into consideration a facility’s patient population and program.

The program takes into consideration the following:

Impact of disrupting essential services to patients and employees.
Determination of the specific hazards and protection levels for each.
Assessment of external as well as internal construction activities.
Locations and handling of known hazards.
According to Quinlan, “The matrix looks at the scope of work being done, where in the facility it is being done and clearly defines the precautions to be taken based on the nature of the work to be done. Essentially, it calls for more precautions and better clean up practices depending on what work is being done, where in the facility it is being done and who is affected.”

How your garden and plants can beat the heat.

Master Grower George Chapman of Concord Nurseries
Master Grower George Chapman of Concord Nurseries

CONCORD and ROCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS…

If you are like many avid gardeners, the heat wave of the past few weeks has had you more than a bit concerned about your flower and plant gardens. Before you break out into your own version of a rain dance, there are some steps you can take to ensure your plants stand up to the stress of the dog days of summer.

“People put a lot of effort into their plants and gardens in the spring and early summer and it’s a shame when a hot spell jeopardizes all that work,” said George Chapman, master grower at Concord Nurseries in Rochester and Concord, MA. “Obviously, you need to water your plants, but how much is too much? Can you overdo it?”

For annuals and perennials, Chapman recommends:

  • Regular watering – Water hanging plants and plants in containers on a daily basis. For in-ground plants, deep water those plants twice a week.
  • Use liquid feed fertilizer – Time release fertilizer is a good practice in spring and early summer, but at this late date you should only be feeding with a liquid fertilizer. Any general purpose plant food will do. In the heat of summer, it is a good practice to cut the recommended dosage in half, and feed twice as often.
  • Deadhead – Remove past blooms by pinching or cutting off the old flowers at the base of the stem. Even the “self cleaning” varieties will benefit from a little deadheading. Most plants have a higher than usual amount of past bloom this year because of the intense heat.

“Sadly, the heat can sometimes be too much for some plants. That doesn’t mean you have to wait until next year,” said Chapman. “There are a number of annuals and perennials that can be planted in midsummer and give your garden plenty of wow factor. Hardy Hibiscus is one in particular that can really make the colors in your garden pop.”

Concord Nurseries offers a full selection of six-inch annuals ready for summer planting. In addition, they carry five varieties of the aforementioned Hardy Hibiscus, including one with variegated foliage foliage. This is a perennial loaded with dinner plate-sized flowers that last from midsummer to autumn.

To check out their inventory of summer annuals and perennials, you can visit their Rochester–22 Cranberry Highway (Route 28)—or Concord location (874 Barretts Mill Road, near the Route 2 Traffic Circle). Both farm stand’s hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 9am to 5pm, Fridays and Saturday, 9am to 6pm, and Sundays, 10am to 5pm.

Old Colony Elder Services Concerned Over Soaring Home Care Wait List

With only days left in the formal legislative session on Beacon Hill, Old Colony Elder Services’ (OCES), the regional elder services agency serving seniors and individuals with disabilities throughout Brockton and the 22 surrounding communities, say lawmakers have not addressed the home care needs of many seniors and people with disabilities.

According to Mass Home Care Executive Director Al Norman, the state’s home care program had nearly 2,000 elders on a waiting list as the new fiscal year began July 1st.

“We are hoping that members of the General Court will not accept home care waiting lists as a fact of life,” Norman said. “We’ve asked the Ways & Means Committees not to break for reelection campaigns until they address the growing problem of home care shortfalls.”

If no additional funds are forthcoming, Norman predicted the waiting list of 2,000 elders today could reach 4,000 or 5,000 by next June.

“This is a serious concern. Old Colony Elder Services currently has 80 people on its wait list for home care services and we expect this number to reach 200 by next June,” said Diana DiGiorgi, Executive Director of OCES.

Per Mass Home Care approximately $6.7 million is needed in FY 2013 to eliminate the current waiting list. Norman said that many of these elders are eligible for nursing facility care. “It’s easier to place someone in a nursing facility in Massachusetts than it is to keep them at home. Instead of being a ‘community first’ state, we continue to push ‘institutions first’ on our aging and disabled populations.”

Governor Deval Patrick recently filed a supplemental budget that could have been the vehicle for home care funding, Norman noted, but the Governor asked for no relief for these programs.

Mass Home Care is also pushing a one sentence piece of legislation, H4186, that would allow disabled people with Alzheimer’s or other cognitive deficits to get a personal care attendant (PCA). Currently, only people who need physical assistance with care are allowed into the PCA program. H4186 would allow people with cueing and supervision needs to receive care, and avoid costly nursing facility placement. A person suffering from Alzheimer’s would be able to get PCA services at home under the bill.

“People should not be penalized because they have the ‘wrong’ disease,” Norman explained. “If our goal is to keep people at home, then this bill should have passed months ago.”

According to Mass Home Care, 70 percent of states that have a PCA program allow people with cueing and supervision needs to receive care at home. H4186 is currently in the House Third Reading along with 600 other bills.

“Somewhere in between discussions on criminal sentencing and health care reform,” Norman concluded, “we hope that lawmakers will remember than nearly one in five people in the Commonwealth are over the age of 60—-and their greatest wish is to simply live out their lives at home, with dignity and independence. We continue to waste millions of taxpayers’ dollars annually on unnecessary institutional care.”

About OCES
Incorporated in 1974, Old Colony Elder Services is a private, non-profit corporation designated as one of 27 Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. OCES offers a number of programs to serve seniors, individuals with disabilities, their families and caregivers such as Family Caregiver Support; Adult Family Care; Supportive Housing; Nutrition; Money Management; Protective Services and Home Care.

The organization’s mission is to provide services that support the dignity and independence of elders by helping them maximize their quality of life; live safely and in good health; and, prevent unnecessary or premature institutionalization.

August’s My Pinnacle Network Meetings are as follows:

Dubin, founder of My Pinnacle Network.

Adds Dubin, “For networkers, it’s actually the best time of year to try additional networking outlets. Many networking groups do lag during the summer. My Pinnacle Network members make an attendance commitment when joining—one excused absence per six months. So, even though its summer, our members are going to be here.”

B2B professionals can apply directly by going to www.mypinnaclenetwork.com. Only one B2B professional will be selected for each category.

MANSFIELD and SHREWSBURY, MA…

Lakefront Living Realty, LLC, a Mansfield, MA-based Real Estate Brokerage specializing solely on the purchase and sale of lakefront property, recently hired Shrewsbury resident Fern Nissim to assist lakefront buyers and sellers in Central Massachusetts.

“Purchasing and selling a lakefront home is different than any other real estate,” said Scott Freerksen, broker and owner of Lakefront Living Realty, LLC. “Fern’s experience as a Realtor® and marketing professional, combined with her knowledge of lakes in Central Massachusetts, will make her an outstanding addition to the Lakefront Living team.”

In addition to her experience in both residential and commercial real estate, Nissim has also owned and operated her own marketing company. Besides her professional expertise, she also brings a lifelong love of lakefront living to her new job. Over the past 25 years Nissim has owned, redesigned and built many lakefront homes. She currently lives on Lake Quinsigamond with her husband Robert, a naturalist and environmental engineer.

“This may sound kind of cliché, but with this new opportunity, I get to live two dreams. One is living on a lake the other is helping other people realize that same dream,” said Nissim.

Lakefront Living Realty specializes solely on the purchase and sale of pond and lakefront property in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. In addition to their lakefront expertise, the company offers a current and complete database of lakefront properties on their website that features only direct lakefront homes. All the “riverfront”, “oceanfront”, “across the street”, “within walking distance” homes are taken out of the site.
