Introducing Yourself to Your Client's Health Care Team
By David Kent, LMT, NCTMB
When patients experience pain, they instinctively touch the area that hurts. Since opening my clinic in 1992, one statement I hear on occasion from patients is "feel this bump, it was never there before." Sometimes they are right, the bump is abnormal and they must consult their doctor immediately.Other times, the patient is pointing to a bony landmark. I want to share a few practice building tips for educating your patients about their "bumps," which can then provide ways for you to introduce yourself to their health care team.
The foundation of my practice continues to be medical doctors referring patients for the treatment of myofascial pain in the head, neck and back. The pain usually originated from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident, while performing a home improvement or work related activity. So, in my clinic, patients most commonly report the following bony landmarks as "never there before:"
Pain affects every area of a patient's life: physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially, relationships at home and work, etc. Patients are scared and concerned about their pain. As health care providers, we must assume our patients do not know about bony landmarks or the structures that attach to them. This is a perfect opportunity to educate patients about form and function. To teach them about the roles bones and muscles play in providing structural support and movement.
I educate patients about bony landmarks using charts and models. I explain how and why bony landmarks form, why they might be tender after physical activity, stress or trauma and how we as health care providers use bony landmarks for postural analysis and other physical assessments. I also show the bony landmark on myself and on other people in the clinic. It is reassuring and comforting for the patient to understand the "bump" is normal and exists on everyone.
Making Connections
Some patients, when they are in pain, will see many different healthcare providers at one time. They will leave your clinic and drive directly to their chiropractor and or medical doctor. So, here is a simple and effective practice building tip. Write the name of the bony landmark with a note on the back of your business card and give it to the patient. For example "The External Occipital Protuberance is tender to palpation." You would be amazed how the patient will show your card to their doctors. This starts a conversation about your practice and the next thing you know, the doctor wants to meet you.
Patients are relying on you for guidance. It is important that you are familiar with normal human anatomy so you can identify abnormalities. Sometimes, the painful spot, is a "bump they have never felt before" and the patient is pushing into soft tissue, not a bony landmark and could cause potential harm. For example, if the spot is in the anterior neck region, running along the sternocliodmastiod muscle. The "bump" may not be the mastoid process, but a swollen lymph node or something more serious and the patient should be referred to a physician. The carotid sinus, body and vessels are in the same region and fatal circumstances could result from the patient randomly pushing deeply into the anterior neck.
Your knowledge of anatomy helps to protect your patients, improve assessment/treatment outcomes and build your practice by educating patients who then become raving fans. One unique way to learn about the skin, fascia, muscles, nerves, ligaments, vessels and other structures that compose the body is in an anatomy lab. Performing a human dissection is a unique opportunity to see, touch and learn about the body without any concern of causing harm. You can compare the same structure on multiple specimens of different gender, age, size, cause of death and occupation. You palpate diseased and normal organ tissue, examine surgical incisions to uncover pacemakers, artificial hips, or the rods, screws and connectors installed during a spinal fusion. You feel the elasticity, density, size and position of structures throughout the body like the spinal cord, heart, lungs, organs, etc. You leave the lab with a new level of confidence and knowledge that is integrated into your practice.
Be prepared when you here the words "feel this bump… it was never there before." If you laugh and make fun of the patient for pointing to a bony landmark, the odds of them scheduling follow-up treatments or referring others is very low. There is also the possibility you could identify an abnormality that ultimately saves their life. Apply your knowledge and turn the situation into a patient education and practice building opportunity.

35 states are in support.For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that passed ... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that
is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever . The self-serving must stop.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ..."
Do you support this idea?

Do the research before you post garbage. "Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term" This is not true. They fall under the same retirement plan as all federal employees, either FERS or CSRS. Do you realize there are less than 500 former Congressman collecting retirement? Research my friend before you believe everything you read in social media!!
You are probably mad that Congress voted for a pay raise as well... what you probably don't realize is that pay raise also is for the military and federal employees. They all fall under the same umbrella. Sure, I agree Congress doesn't deserve a raise but the military sure does!!

Just one point. Congresses 1.5% pay rais is automatic and not the same as employees. Fed employees last raise was 2010.
Under both CSRS and FERS, Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at age 62 if they have completed at least five years of service. Members are eligible for a pension at age 50 if they have completed 20 years of service, or at any age after completing 25 years of service.
#5 Jan 2, 2013
This is the memo I'm referring to:
"Under both CSRS and FERS, Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at age 62 if they have completed at least five years of service. Members are eligible for a pension at age 50 if they have completed 20 years of service, or at any age after completing 25 years of service." 100% in agreement with this ... but it is not at 100% of their pay as most people believe... nor do they get it for their whole life. They must meet the criteria (i.e. a 6 year Senator that is 40 will not be able to retire when he is done with office and collect it for his whole life) He will however get 6%(assuming FERS and this year) of his base pay when he turns 62 (and until he dies).

This can adversely affect the nitrogen fixing activity in the root nodules and lead to decreases in yield. Transgenic rhizobia were used in a novel approach to the biological control of Sitona. Two transcriptional fusions were made in which the coding sequence of the insecticidal crystal protein gene (cryIIIA) from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis was fused to either the promoter of the rhizosphere enhanced rhiA gene from R. leguminosarum biovar viciae, or the promoter of the nodule specific nifH gene from R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii. The two chimeric genes were transferred to R. leguminosarum bv. viciae and R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii, respectively. Bioassay systems which allowed easy inspection of the plant root systems were used to test the transgenic strains for their ability to protect their host plant from damage by larvae of Sitona flavescens. In both white clover and pea plants nodulated by the transgenic rhizobia a slightly smaller proportion of root nodules were damaged compared to the wild type control plants. In some of the bioassays this was accompanied by increased nitrogenase activity, but it was not reflected in increased plant growth, which was similar in both treatments. These results suggest that a toxin with much higher toxicity against Sitona larvae is necessary for this approach to biocontrol to succeed. 1994-06-01T00:00:00Z Analysis of the two nodulins, sucrose synthase and ENOD2, in transgenic Lotus plants http://hdl.handle.net/2160/43205 Analysis of the two nodulins, sucrose synthase and ENOD2, in transgenic Lotus plants Skot, L.; Minchin, F. R.; Timms-Taravella, E.; Fortune, M. T.; Webb, Kathleen; Gordon, A. J. A partial sucrose synthase clone was isolated from a nodule cDNA library of Lotus japonicus, which had strong homology to sucrose synthase genes from Vicia faba and other plant species. The transcript was 2.7 kb in size and expression was enhanced in nodules compared to roots of L. japonicus. Two overlapping genomic clones containing sucrose synthase sequences were isolated from L. japonicus with a view to mapping and analysing the promoter of this gene. The early nodulin ENOD2 is a (hydroxy)proline-rich cell wall protein, which is expressed in the inner cortex surrounding the infected region of root nodules. In order to see if this nodulin is involved in the operation of the oxygen diffusion barrier, L. corniculatus was transformed with antisense ENOD2 gene constructs derived from the promoter and coding sequence of soybean. Two of the 20 antisense plant lines had significantly lower dry weight and nitrogenase activity as well as a different O2 profile through the nodules when compared to control plant lines, but there was no difference in ENOD2 transcriptional activity between the control and antisense plants. Possible reasons for this observation are discussed. 1996-09-01T00:00:00Z Comparison of ribosomal DNA sites in Lolium species by flouorescence in situ hybridization http://hdl.handle.net/2160/43204 Comparison of ribosomal DNA sites in Lolium species by flouorescence in situ hybridization Thomas, H. M.; Harper, J. A.; Meredith, M. R.; Morgan, W. G.; Thomas, I. D.; Timms-Taravella, Emma; King, I. P. The position of the 18S--5.8S-26S and 5S rRNA genes have been physically mapped on the chromosomes of seven Lolium taxa. 18S-5.8S-26S sites were seen on two pairs of chromosomes in the inbreeding taxa. In the outbreeding taxa six sites were found in the L. rnultiflorum, seven in L. perenne and nine in L. rigidum var. rigidum. Two 5S sites were found in each of the taxa. In the inbreeders, the 5S sites were found adjacent to the 18S-5.8S-26S sites on chromosome 2. In L. multiflorum and L. perenne the 5S sites were on the short arm of chromosome 3. However, in L. rigidum var. rigidum the 5S rDNA site was found in either of the two positions. 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z Mangrove Response to Environmental Change in Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria http://hdl.handle.net/2160/43203 Mangrove Response to Environmental Change in Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria Asbridge, Emma; Lucas, Richard; Ticehurst, Catherine; Bunting, Peter Across their range, mangroves are responding to coastal environmental change. However, separating the influence of human activities from natural events and processes (including that associated with climatic fluctuation) is often difficult. In the Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia (Leichhardt, Nicholson, Mornington Inlet, and Flinders River catchments), changes in mangroves are assumed to be the result of natural drivers as human impacts are minimal. By comparing classifications from time series of Landsat sensor data for the period 1987–2014, mangroves were observed to have extended seawards by up to 1.9 km (perpendicular to the coastline), with inland intrusion occurring along many of the rivers and rivulets in the tidal reaches. Seaward expansion was particularly evident near the mouth of the Leichhardt River, and was associated with peaks in river discharge with LiDAR data indicating distinct structural zones developing following each large rainfall and discharge event. However, along the Gulf coast, and particularly within the Mornington Inlet catchment, the expansion was more gradual and linked to inundation and regular sediment supply through freshwater input. Landward expansion along the Mornington Inlet catchment was attributed to the combined effects of sea level rise and prolonged periods of tidal and freshwater inundation on coastal lowlands. The study concluded that increased amounts of rainfall and associated flooding and sea level rise were responsible for recent seaward and landward extension of mangroves in this region.

Trevor May bore witness to one of the most exciting things he's ever seen on Tuesday, yet he had nothing to do with it.
The Twins' No. 12 prospect gave up three hits and struck out six over six innings as Triple-A Rochester blanked Columbus, 6-0.
May got credit for his first complete game of the year as the game was shortened to six innings because of rain. The 24-year-old right-hander threw 57 of his 85 pitches for strikes, walking two for the Red Wings.
"I started the game trying to mix it up a little bit," May said. "Kind of come out throwing everything, trying to get ahead. I think ultimately the success was making pitches in tight spots, keeping myself in counts and letting the fielders do their thing behind me."
With the Red Wings holding a 1-0 lead in the fifth, May (2-3) watched from the dugout as the club went deep four times, including three straight homers by Oswaldo Arcia, Deibinson Romero and Chris Herrmann. Eric Farris led off the frame with a long ball as well. The back-to-back-to-back homers proved to be one of the best things May has witnessed in his seven-year Minor League career.
"That's what makes baseball fun, having moments like that," the Washington native said. "That's gotta be a Top 10 for me, playing Minor League baseball, seeing something like that happen. Especially since we've been struggling as a team, we were unable to get a win on our last road trip and we were swept by this team a week ago. It was a lot of fun."
May squared off against Trevor Bauer, the Indians' No. 3 prospect. Bauer entered the start as one of the best pitchers in the International League, going 4-0 with a 1.12 ERA for the Clippers. Despite Bauer taking his first loss, May had nothing but praise for his opponent.
"He's definitely a special arm," he said. "He threw against us five days ago and put on a real good show. No question he's got some of the best stuff in the Minors right now."
In his last outing, May surrendered five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits over 4 2/3 innings on May 7 in Columbus.
"For me, there was some specific situations that I got myself in that I wasn't able to work out of," he said. "I didn't make the big pitches and I lost focus for a couple of hitters. That's all it takes for a guy to get a pitch he wants to see. They did a great job of getting me. That's when you tip your caps, I didn't execute my pitches and you did what you get paid to do.
"The difference was I made a few more pitches when I needed to today than I did the last time. A lot more times than not, that's the difference between a good outing and a poor one is less than 10 pitches."

I've just finished reading... The Last Kestrel
Relevant offers
I've just finished reading…
The Last Kestrel is most certainly one of my favourite reads to date.
It would suit a reader who is fond of autobiographies written by women who have seen suffering - such as Sold by Zana Muhsen or A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. And also those who want to try out some who-dunnit type reads.
Set in small-village Afghanistan, journalist Ellen wants to find out who killed her translator and friend, Jalil. She also wants to poke around for a decent and novel story to send her publicist back in the US. Luckily for her, the two quests morph into one.
The book ends up making the reader feel surprisingly sympathetic for the young, naive, indoctrinated boys who end up martyrs for the Taliban.
Ellen ends up make surprising alliances which cause unexpected outcomes, making for a well written, hard to put down read.
The author, Jill McGivering, a reporter based in Afghanistan, has the experience, the knowledge and the creativity to pull off a novel like this.
I encourage anyone to purchase a copy and give it a go, you won't regret it.
Personally, I can't wait to read the second story (Far From My Father's House) which follows Ellen's exploits.

There will soon be a myriad of announcements of DBMS offerings in the cloud. Many of these will NOT be marriages made in heaven. However, the most innovative new DBMS software combined with new cloud computing services are here today and truly take advantage of the cloud architecture in order to change the economics and the responsiveness of business analytics.
My belief is that cloud computing will change the economics of business intelligence (BI) and enable a variety of new analytic data management projects and business possibilities. It does so by making the hardware, networking, security, and software needed to create data marts and data warehouses available on demand with a pay-as-you-go approach to usage and licensing.
A computing cloud, such as the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, is composed of thousands of commodity servers running multiple virtual machine instances (VMs) of the applications hosted in the cloud. As customer demand for those applications changes, new servers are added to the cloud or idled and new VMs are instantiated or terminated.
Cloud computing infrastructure differs dramatically from the infrastructure underlying most in-house data warehouses and data marts. There are no high-end servers with dozens of CPU cores, SANs, replicated systems, or proprietary data warehousing appliances available in the cloud. Therefore, a new DBMS software architecture is required to enable large volumes of data to be analyzed quickly and reliably on the cloud's commodity hardware. Recent DBMS innovations make this a reality today, and the best cloud DBMS architectures will include:

Cloud computing infrastructure differs dramatically from the infrastructure underlying most in-house data warehouses and data marts. There are no high-end servers with dozens of CPU cores, SANs, replicated systems, or proprietary data warehousing appliances available in the cloud. Therefore, a new DBMS software architecture is required to enable large volumes of data to be analyzed quickly and reliably on the cloud's commodity hardware. Recent DBMS innovations make this a reality today, and the best cloud DBMS architectures will include:
- Shared-nothing, massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture. In order to drive down the cost of creating a utility computing environment, the best cloud service providers use huge grids of identical (or similar) computing elements. Each node in the grid is typically a compute engine with its own attached storage. For a cloud database to successfully "scale out" in such an environment, it is essential that the database have a shared-nothing architecture utilizing the resources (CPU, memory, and disk) found in server nodes added to the cluster. Most databases popularly used in BI today have shared-everything or shared-storage architectures, which will limit their ability to scale in the cloud.
- Automatic high availability. Within a cloud-based analytic database cluster, node failures, node changes, and connection disruptions can occur. Given the vast number of processing elements within a cloud, these failures can be made transparent to the end user if the database has the proper built-in failover capabilities. The best cloud databases will replicate data automatically across the nodes in the cloud cluster, be able to continue running in the event of 1 or more node failures ("k-safety"), and be capable of restoring data on recovered nodes automatically -- without DBA assistance. Ideally, the replicated data will be made "active" in different sort orders for querying to increase performance.
- Ultra-high performance. One of the game-changing advantages of the cloud is the ability to get an analytic application up quickly (without waiting for hardware procurement). However, there can be some performance penalty due to Internet connectivity speeds and the virtualized cloud environment. If the analytic performance is disappointing, the advantage is lost. Fortunately, the latest shared-nothing columnar databases are designed specifically for analytic workloads, and they have demonstrated dramatic performance improvements over traditional, row-oriented databases (as verified by industry experts, such as Gartner and Forrester, and by customer benchmarks). This software performance improvement, coupled with the hardware economies of scale provided by the cloud environment, results in a new economic model and competitive advantage for cloud analytics.
- Aggressive compression. Since cloud costs are typically driven by charges for processor and disk storage utilization, aggressive data compression will result in very large cost savings. Row-oriented databases can achieve compression factors of about 30% to 50%; however, the addition of necessary indexes and materialized views often swells databases to 2 to 5 times the size of the source data. But since the data in a column tends to be more similar and repetitive than attributes within rows, column databases often achieve much higher levels of compression. They also don't require indexes. The result is normally a 4x to 20x reduction in the amount of storage needed by columnar databases and a commensurate reduction in storage costs.
- Standards-based connectivity. While there are a number of special-purpose file systems that have been developed for the cloud environment that can provide high performance, they lack the standard connectivity needed to support general-purpose business analytics. The broad base of analytic users will use existing commercial ETL and reporting software that depend on SQL, JDBC, ODBC, and other DBMS connectivity standards to load and query cloud databases. Therefore, it's imperative for cloud databases to support these connection standards to enable widespread use of analytic applications.
- "Scaling out," as the cloud itself does
- Running fast without high-end or custom hardware
- Providing high availability in a fluid computing environment
- Minimizing data storage, transfer, and CPU utilization (to keep cloud computing fees low)

Extracting business value from Internet of Things (IoT) data doesn't happen overnight. There are several requirements that must be satisfied, including IoT device enablement, data analysis, real-time detection of complex events and automated orchestration of actions. Unfortunately, too many companies fall short in achieving their business goals by implementing incomplete solutions or not focusing on tangible use cases.

There are several IoTs: the Industrial Internet, Consumer Wearables, Wearables and Healthcare, Supply Chains, and the movement toward Smart Grids, Cities, Regions, and Nations. There are competing communications standards every step of the way, a bewildering array of sensors and devices, and an entire world of competing data analytics platforms. To some this appears to be chaos. In this power panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, Bradley Holt, Developer Advocate a...

The Internet of Things will challenge the status quo of how IT and development organizations operate. Or will it? Certainly the fog layer of IoT requires special insights about data ontology, security and transactional integrity. But the developmental challenges are the same: People, Process and Platform and how we integrate our thinking to solve complicated problems. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Craig Sproule, CEO of Metavine, will demonstrate how to move beyond today's coding paradigm ...

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector.

Harper's Young People, November 23, 1880 (Illustrated)by Various Various
Hannah was a tender-hearted
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
A long time ago—more than three thousand years—a little boy was born to a loving mother. She was a Jewess, and in those days it was the custom to be called by only one name. Her name was Hannah, or Anna. She lived with the father of her little boy in a mountain village six or eight miles north of the city of Jerusalem.
Hannah was a tender-hearted woman, and as good as she was gentle. She longed to have a little boy who might grow up and be trained to be a teacher of the true God among the people around her, who were very ignorant and wicked in those days. So she prayed, and God heard her prayer. Upon the birth of the little fellow she named him Samuel, which means Asked of God. So happy and grateful to God was this Jewish mother that she wrote a wonderful song, which has been preserved all these years, and may be still read in the Bible.
When her boy was two or three years old she carried him to the place where the people of the country met to worship God, where was the great tent called the Tabernacle, with its different coverings, of which we are told in the second book of the Bible, and where the priest of God and those that assisted him lived. Here she left him, with many warm kisses and tears, that he might be taught by these religious men, and be fitted to become in after-years a prophet or teacher of the true God. His school had no vacations; but once a year regularly his mother came to see him, bringing him a new, rich mantle as a gift of love, and a proper robe for one who assisted in public worship, although a child, to wear.
Every one saw that he was a remarkable boy. The old priest loved him as a son. The blessed God in heaven also loves children, and knows how to express His love to them so that they will understand it. He sometimes intimates to them, when He is about to call them to some great work, that they are by-and-by to become His ministers. Many a little fellow as young as Samuel has felt in his mind, he hardly knew how or why, that he would some time be a preacher of the Gospel.
When Samuel was about twelve years of age this wonderful thing happened to him. He had a little room by himself within the great tent where the people worshipped. The aged priest, whose name was Eli, had another quite near to him. In the night, while the lamps were still burning in the Tabernacle, and he had fallen asleep on his bed, he was suddenly awaked by a voice calling him by name. He supposed, of course, it was Eli calling, and he hurried to the old man's chamber, saying, as he entered, "Here am I."
"I did not call you," said Eli; "go, lie down again."
He had hardly dropped into slumber once more, when the same voice awaked him again: "Samuel, Samuel," it said.
He ran again to the room of Eli, and said, "Here am I; for thou didst call me."
The old man thought, probably, that he was disturbed by terrifying dreams, and said to him, "I called not, my son; lie down again."
A third time the voice called. It is wonderful that the lad was not affrighted. But if one loves God and does right, there is nothing that can harm him. The open-faced child of the Tabernacle, obeying without hesitation, although answering twice in vain, hastened to the chamber of Eli with his ready and filial response, "Here am I; for thou didst call me."
The aged minister then knew that it was not a human voice, but the voice of God. He said to the child, "Go, lie down, and if the voice is heard again, say, 'Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth.'"
He went alone to his chamber and to his bed in the silence of the night, and once more the voice came, so sweet and gentle as not to terrify him, "Samuel, Samuel."
"Speak, Lord," he answered, as he sat up on his bed, "for Thy servant heareth."
Then God gave him a message to his master, and to the people, and made him at this early age a teacher and a prophet of the Lord.
It was just at this moment, when the boy sits up, solemnly, with his eyes wide-opened, listening to the Divine voice, that the great English painter Sir Joshua Reynolds, in his well-known picture, represents the prophet-child. It is at this moment that his wondering and prayerful face is caught by the artist in the beautiful picture which is given in this paper.
God does not now speak audibly in the sleeping-rooms of little fellows; but when they kneel, night by night, by their bedsides, and say, "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth," He comes into their minds and leads and teaches them just as if He called them by name. There is no prayer goes up to Heaven more readily heard or answered than the simple words of a sincere, praying child.

You never know where you'll be when an emergency occurs, so it's a good idea to be ready wherever you are. That means preparing supplies for your home, work, and vehicle.
The Ready Campaign has information about creating a disaster supply kit for each location.
For your home:
- Create a kit containing enough food, water, and supplies to last at least three days; and
- Keep the kit in a designated place and make sure family members know where it is.
For your work:
- Be prepared to shelter in place for at least 24 hours;
- Include food, water, and other necessities like medicines in your kit. Keep the kit in one container and be ready to grab and go; and
- Have comfortable walking shoes in case an evacuation requires walking long distances.
For your vehicle:
- Include jumper cables, flashlights, clothing, and a first aid kit; and
- Consider having a fully charged cell phone and phone charger, flares, baby formula, and diapers if you have a small child.

Roseville Company Buys Yorba Linda Apartment Community
YORBA LINDA - USA Properties Fund Inc. headquartered in Roseville has acquired Victoria Woods Senior Apartments, a 125-unit affordable senior housing community in Yorba Linda in northern Orange County.
USA Properties - which has more than 75 communities in California and Nevada, including four in Orange County -- will begin an extensive renovation of Victoria Woods.
The community - soon to renamed Vintage at Stonehaven -- is located at 5303 Stonehaven Drive in Yorba Linda, near major freeways, access to public transportation, several large shopping centers and retailers, including Costco Wholesale and Trader Joe's.
The apartments are available to low-income seniors at least 55 years old who earn 40 percent to 60 percent of the area median income for Orange County.
"The community offers affordable housing for low-income seniors while allowing them to keep up with their busy lifestyle, whether it's shopping or getting around Southern California," said USA Properties Fund President Geoff Brown. "This was a great opportunity for the company, and we are looking forward to making it an excellent experience for our residents."
Victoria Woods features 100 one-bedroom, one-bath apartments and 25 two-bedroom, one-bath units. The one-bedroom apartments are 585 square feet, while the two-bedroom units offer 753 square feet.
The community has seven two-story apartment buildings and a clubhouse/leasing office. Victoria Woods has a recreation building, which features a clubhouse with a kitchen, TV room, billiards room, activity center, laundry, restrooms, and a leasing and manager's office. Other on-site amenities include a swimming pool, spa, barbecues, small gardening area, horseshoe pit and mini storage. Other amenities include a pool and spa area and two common laundry rooms. The gated community has 134 parking spaces - 46 carports and 88 open parking spaces.
Victoria Woods, which was built in 1997, will undergo an extensive renovation, including new appliances, ceiling fans, entry and interior doors, garbage disposals, and repairs and energy-efficient upgrades to electric fixtures, bathroom plumbing fixtures, air conditioning, heating systems and hot water heaters in apartments. Renovating the clubhouse and new exterior paint, lighting and pool fixtures are also planned. About $25,500 per unit is budgeted for renovation.
With the purchase, Victoria Woods will become a LifeSTEPS community. The Fair Oaks-based nonprofit provides educational and support services to empower residents with the skills, resources and support they may need to maintain stable housing and break the cycle of poverty.
LifeSTEPS services for seniors include confidential case management and mediation, computer, exercise, music, arts and crafts classes. Social events include local field trips, travel presentations, writing groups and even volunteer programs. The nonprofit also offers health-related activities, such as on-site flu shots and information sessions on Medicare and Medicaid.
"Our communities are more like neighborhoods, where residents know and help each other," Mr. Brown said. "LifeSTEPS and USA Properties are part of that community."
USA Properties Fund Inc. (USA), a California corporation, is a privately owned real estate development organization specializing in the creation of outstanding senior and family communities. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Roseville, USA Properties Fund provides a full range of capabilities for community development, including financing, development, construction services, rehabilitation and property management. Our values, leadership and team structure reflect our success with the development/construction and acquisition/rehabilitation of more than 11,000 units of family and senior apartments in more than 75 communities throughout California and Nevada.
