Good Sam has provided quality care Editor, The Spotlight: My father, Jacques Harr­ ington, has been a resident of Good Samaritan Lutheran Nursing Home for about five years. He is in a late stage of Alzheimer's and is totally dependent on the staff for personal hygiene, grooming, dressing and feeding. He is unable to care for himself or evaluate the care he is getting. My sister, my husband and I visit Dad frequently at Good Samaritan. My mother, who lives nearby in Glenmont, visits practically every day. From our own direct experience, we have much good to say about Good Samaritan. Dad is always clean and well-groomed. He has never had bedsores or any infections. The staff helps him get up and about, within his limitations, keeps an eye on him and is alert to changes in his condition or behavior. The staff appears to be careful with him. One time, he was moderately injured in a fall and required a checkup and observation at a local hospital. He is a good-sized man, and in his present condition, awkward and essentially helpless. He is assisted whenever he moves. We were not surprised that something like that could happen once in four years. He was promptly given appropriate attention. As for enjoying "the highest quality of life possible," I don't know how you would define that for someone in Dad's condition, but we are confident that the staff is doing quite welL They are friendly, helpful- even solicitous - and appear to take a personal interest in his physical and mental well-being.

"I ani in intense training now to prepare for the walk. I am already up to 15 miles," she said. ''Mter a walk, I feel so empowered, like I can take on the world." DeCoste is walking to raise awareness of the disabling effects of strokes. Her own family has been touched by stroke, and she wants to educate others on the disease. "Completing a marathon is a life-changing event. So is a stroke," said DeCoste. Not only does DeCoste have to train to prepare for the marathon, she must raise $3,700 to enter. "The marathon is a. huge challenge, but I know I can conquer it. The fund-raising aspect is the bigger challenge for me," DeCoste said.

Your Energy... Your Choice

Did you know you can buy electricitY crnd, natural gas from companies other than your utility? Well, it's true!

It's your choice. You can switch to an Energy Service Company (ESCO) or keep buying your electricity or natural gas from your utility. And, no matter what your choice is, your utility will still deliver your electricity or natural gas to you. Competition among ESCOs to supply your energy means new products and services, and better value for your dollar.

Safety and Reliability Won't Change. No matter where you buy your energy supply, your utility will still deliver your energy through its existing wires and pipes. The safety and reliability you've come to depend on won't change, and your utility will continue to provide emergency services.

Choosing a Green Future. One easy, environmentally friendly choice you can make is to have some or all of your energy supplied by a Green Power provider. Green Power providers supply electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar, wind, biomass, and low-impact or small hydro. It costs just a few more pennies a day to help keep our world greener for generations to come. Calll-866-GRN-POWR to learn more. v, ..,Nt.;.J ~ark ~ Increase Your Buying Power. ';~~bKtY'~\)~Y'-t Puauc SERviCE NYSERDA Another option you now have is buying energy as a member of a group, also known as CoMMISSION George E. Pataki, Governor aggregation. Purchasing energy with others lets you negotiate with ESCOs for the best deal on prices or services, boosting your buying power and possibly saving you money. ; New York State Make an Informed Choice. Public Doing your homework is the key to making an informed choice, and the Public Service Service Commission has the information to help you evaluate competing offers and sele•:t the Commission energy options that are right for you.
