WINTER 2016 EDITION Firefighters For A Day and the Annual 911 Christmas Event Top: Alex and Chrissy try their hand at getting a good grip on the water hose when local firefighters visited a few months ago for a safety activity at the Residential Center. Bottom: Each year it seems the 911 Christmas event continues to grow and more surrounding communities and generous community members get involved in this event which never fails to put a smile on people’s faces. This picture shows just a small group of the supporters arriving via firetruck and polic car with gifts in hand to provide to the children and adults living at the Residential Center. A big thank you to our “911 family” and Vicki Leonard who organizes the event year after year!

Iowa’s decision to transition the medicaid system to private insurance companies creates a multitude of chal- lenges for the people we support, and those of us providers whose operations are funded totally by medicaid. We did receive a reprieve when the Federal oversight group denied Iowa’s January 1st implementation date, due to lack of readiness. The new effective date is march 1st, and at this time, hills & Dales continues to evaluate contracts marilyn Althoff with the three insurance companies. -

Inside This Issue from the Ceo
wiNTeR 2015 eDiTiON Students from the Cuba City School District visited the Residential Center in late December to drop off the MANY, MANY gifts the school’s students and families collected throughout the month for the children living at Hills & Dales. All of the kids had a great time enjoying breakfast, making Christmas ornaments and singing songs together during this visit. Nicole Pollock (back row, left) is a former employee of Hills & Dales and connected the two groups for this special event. Thank you to the Cuba City students for making Christmas an even more special time of year for everyone at Hills & Dales! Inside This Issue FROM THe CeO . 2 FROM THe BOARD OF DiReCTORS . 3 ReCOgNiTiON –– From Wishes to Reality . 4-7 HillS & DAleS HAPPeNiNgS . 8-11 From the Chief Executive Officer This is the first Happenings of the New Year and already so much is going on it is hard to grasp all of it. Our annual evalua - tion of our Residential Center on Davis Street by the iowa Depart - ment of inspections and Appeals came a few weeks early, but as always our staff and managers were well prepared for the visit. The three surveyors had numerous positive comments about our program, but the most important one to me and the one which best summed up their overall comments was ... “The culture here is present and evident no matter when we arrive”. To me this means that our culture to fulfill our mission is consistently present and visible day in and day out. Other comments included how the quality of the individual’s life is measured by the environment of their home, their appearance, and their involvement in their own lives. -
