October 9, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • Page 23 ����� in business H. Rubin Opticians has a clear Ulrich’s Award Winning Designers focus on the community H . Rubin Opticians has been part of the community for over 40 years. This family-owned business has built its reputation for excellence through a competent, detail-oriented staff that pays close attention to each individual’s needs so everyone leaves seeing – and looking – his or her best. Much of H. Rubin Opticians’ success is due to the woman’s touch, which is provided by co-owner Penny Ship, long-time employee Dorothy Voitas, and Victoria Solari. These fashion-conscious women advise customers on the proper eyeglass frames to fit their face, col- oring, budget, lifestyle, and other Dorothy Voitas, Penny Ship and Victoria Solari needs. They give each person, from children to seniors, the attention they require, which often means patiently trying on a number of frames. Because H. Rubin Opticians does not accept insurance, staff members are able to deliver the best service, focusing on the needs of the customers, rather than making concessions to large companies. “We put precision into our frames,” Penny says. “Customers leave with a look that has been designed, but is not necessarily ‘designer.’” H. Rubin Opticians carries all the latest and highest quality in designer and non-designer eyewear, including Gucci, Christian Dior, RayBan and more; European lines such as Face a Face, Lafont, Anne et Valentin, and Theo; and small, independent lines such as Salt and Etnia. The shop regularly hosts private showings so customers can preview a manufacturer’s entire frame collection. A weeklong trunk show featuring Etnia eyewear is scheduled for Oct.12-19 (closed Sunday). Rubin’s has an extensive selection of non-prescription sunglasses and readers. The shop also carries a large selection of eyeglass holder jewelry, including La Loop and Sport Loop holders, and other accessories. Opticians Dana Ship, Larry Gaudiomonte, and Stephen Wolff provide the correct lenses and advise on the latest technology available to suit individual requirements. Dr. Ira Hanlon (Lic. # 27OA00433900) provides eye exams and contact lens service. Most work is done on the premises. Rubin Opticians is located at 240 Godwin Avenue in Midland Park.

Exceptional care-givers at the Holland Christian Home T he Holland Christian Home welcomed three new women leaders to its nursing staff this past summer. They are the most recent in a 118-year tradition of women pro- viding the highest standards of care to the home’s residents The home is a continuing care retirement community for seniors 75 years and older, offering the peace- of-mind that comes from Life Care, a continuum of services designed to help them live the most spiritually, physically and emotionally fulfilling lives possible, regardless of changing health and life circumstances. Kathy Tanis was named Direc- tor of Nursing in August 2013. She previously worked for 12 years at the home, leaving in 2007 to pursue a variety of supervisory and manage- ment positions including resident care director for the Assisted Living and Alzheimer’s Unit at the Garden in Wayne and as the health and wellness director for the Assisted Living and Alzheimer’s Units at Wynwood Assisted Living in Florham Park. In addition, Cindy Schott joined the home’s staff as assistant director of nursing. She brings a total of 23 years’ experience as an intensive care unit (ICU) and recovery room nurse to her new posi- Cindy Schott, left, and Kathy Tanis tion, and is currently pursuing a master’s-level nursing degree at Ramapo College. She also pre- viously served briefly as a certified nurse’s aide (CNA) and charge nurse at the home. With 40 years of nursing experience Carole Dykhouse joined the home’s staff in a newly cre- ated position: Director of Quality Advancements. Carole will focus on improving the home’s clini- cal services and preparing them for a rapidly changing healthcare environ- ment. Carole is certified by the National Association of Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) as a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ), and holds dual certification by the Ameri- can Nursing Credentialing Center (ANCC) in Gerontological Nursing and Professional Development in Nursing. The home’s exceptional nursing staff plays a key role in maintain- ing consistently high standards of care – standards that led to a “defi- ciency free” rating from the N.J. Divi- sion of Health Facilities Evaluation and Licensing in 2013. The rating is the highest awarded by NJDHSS and comes following a comprehen- sive, unannounced, two-day, on-site inspection survey. It is rare even for the best facilities; from 2005 to 2009, for example, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) reports 10 percent or less of nursing homes in the home’s size classification (100 to 199 beds) achieved deficiency-free ratings.
