The warmer weather is definitely welcomed by residents at North Shore Living. Many have already enjoyed time on the patios, and everyone looks forward to the official first day of summer. There are a lot of improvements planned for our outdoor areas. These include: plantings and garden boxes, adding a shaded area, incorporating access to the gazebo, and purchasing a glider swing that accommodates wheelchairs. It will be fun and exciting to see these additions implemented into our outdoor living space as the summer progresses.A rainy Memorial Day didn’t stop the residents from enjoying a picnic lunch with hotdogs right off the grill! With more picnics planned, we’re sure to get a sunny day sometime.
Several of our wonderful volunteers attended our Volunteer Brunch held on May 16. This gave the residents and staff of North Shore Living an opportunity to honor and celebrate the folks who so generously give their time and talents to enhance the lives of those who live here. You make a difference, and you all are so very special.
It was a fun day on May 29 when the Kindergarteners from Great Expectations came to North Shore Living with an abundance of flowers to plant in our garden boxes. It will make our patio a joyful place this summer for the residents to enjoy, and we sincerely thank them for their time and companionship.
The monthly birthday party will be held on June 12 at 3 p.m. to celebrate Jim Haussner, Donna Willet, and Honey Rosen. Cake and ice cream will be served, and Doug Sanders will play piano for the event.

Tuesday January 1, 2019 - New Price Transparency Regulation
Effective 1/1/2019 the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires all Hospitals to post their entire Charge Description Master (CDM) to their website. Reviewing the CDM can be confusing as many services provided by hospitals have several individual charges; a visit to an emergency room may consist of charges associated with the level of nursing services (facility level charge), physician services (professional level charge), pharmacy charges, supply charges, along with any specific procedures that were performed. You may also receive charges from outside medical facilities in addition to those from North Shore Health such as services provided by your Sawtooth Mountain Clinic physician during an inpatient stay or from a radiologist for reading and interpreting your CT exam.Our healthcare system is complex. The staff at North Shore Health is here to help you understand the charges for the services you receive. For more information call 218- 387-3040.
