Community helps stroke survivor rest easy after donation of electric bed

2023-11-27

Teacher's aide Marshelle Jones suffered a stroke in March of 2023. It was the start of a long journey to recovery.

She was eventually sent home, but found that the bed she was given was not equipped to meet her needs.

"You don't know how hard it's been for me," she said.

Fortunately, she was introduced to the Guardian Nurses Healthcare Advocates. Mobile Care Coordinator Jen White has been following Jones' story now for months,

"We had petitioned and tried numerous times to get an electric bed," said White. "And we really were not having any luck doing that."

Fortunately, a chance encounter at a dinner event allowed Jones' story to reach the team at Virtua Health.

Jill English, Quality AVP of Virtua Health in Marlton and Voorhees, said it was atypical, but perfect timing.

"We have the ability because Marlton was getting new hospital beds this week, to set aside a bed for her and deliver it," said English.

Thus, a new electric bed arrived at Jones' door. It was equipped with easy-to-use buttons that help her adjust her back and legs.

Jones was over the moon.

"I thank you all for all that you've done for me," she exclaimed.

These Ritz Cracker Sandwiches Vanish Before the Party Starts

Ritz Party Sandwiches transform familiar buttery crackers into warm, savory appetizers that are exactly the right size for grabbing from a crowded table. Cheese and flavorful sandwich fillings sit between pairs of crackers, creating miniature bites with a crisp exterior and rich center. As they bake, the cheese melts, the filling warms, and the crackers become even more aromatic without losing the delicate texture that makes Ritz crackers so recognizable. Each small sandwich delivers salt, butter, cheese, and savory flavor in one or two bites, which explains why people rarely stop after taking only one. The recipe does not require elaborate pastry, specialty bread, or hours of preparation, yet the completed tray looks more thoughtful than simply opening a box of crackers. It is party food built around convenience without tasting like the cook took an obvious shortcut.

Ground Beef Becomes Sunday Dinner Under This Gravy

Hamburger Steak and Gravy turns an everyday package of ground beef into the kind of meal associated with old diners, family kitchens, and Sunday suppers. The beef is shaped into seasoned patties and browned until the surfaces develop a savory crust. Tender onions cook in the same pan, collecting the flavor left behind by the meat before becoming part of a rich gravy. As the patties finish cooking in that sauce, they remain moist and absorb the onion flavor surrounding them. The result feels much more substantial than an ordinary hamburger without a bun. Each plate receives a proper portion of beef and enough gravy to cover whatever is served underneath, demonstrating how browning, onions, and a well-made pan sauce can make an affordable ingredient feel generous.
