“We like to keep our residents busy. We have a great activities department, something is happening almost every hour here at The Park. They have that freedom to do as much as they want or not participate. We respect their rights. The other thing is that, again back to the service model, we have physicians here weekly. Podiatry services, hearing, eyes, (and) dermatology. So we have everything they would need brought in. With the doctors coming weekly, that’s a real comfort that the residents know that, “Hey, there’s still going to be a doctor in every week on Wednesday that I can see if I want to talk to them.” And also that the nurses have the ability to speak with the doctors if an emergency comes up, if they’re not feeling well. We can get through to the doctors right away and get them taken care of.”
