The City of Keizer has been providing an online util- ity bill payment service for ap- proximately seven months. The online utility bill pay service is hosted by Paymen- tus, one of the leading full- service payment providers. The Paymentus service allows Keizer customers to receive their utility bill electronically and remit payment through a secure website, https://ipn. paymentus.com/cp/kizr or over the phone (1-855-748- 1075). Approximately 1,200 to 1,300 transactions are pro- cessed each month using the online bill pay service with approximately 400 customers “going green” by electing to receive their billing statement electronically. Over the last several months a number of custom- ers have identifi ed that other online bill payment providers have given the impression that they are affi liated with the city and for an additional transac- tion or convenience fee they will process your utility pay- ment. These other providers may offer a legitimate service but they are not affi liated with the City of Keizer as the city does not charge a separate transaction or convenience fee for using the offi cial Paymen- tus online utility bill payment service.

This community was created from the vision of how people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias can and should live their lives. The staff at WindSong at Eola Hills is specifi cally trained in the Montessori Method of Dementia Care. Residents are provided with familiar tasks that encourage them to be active in their community. Every detail has been selected with the needs of those with memory loss in mind. Care is approached as a partnership, cues are provided when appropriate which allows residents to maintain the highest level of independence possible. The focus at WindSong is to tap into the remaining potential of each individual. Family members and loved ones are encouraged to share the resident’s life story, past daily routines and preferences so that staff is able to connect with the person and not the disease. This allows the resident to engage socially and it develops an interest in caring for their home environment. In the end, the resident is able to feel a sense of pride in being an active participant in their community that in turn boosts their self-worth. “It may be whole afternoons or just a few precious moments that they are able to enjoy and make a true connection, but we are able to recreate and build on those successes,” said Stacey Flint, Director of Community Relations.
