February News and Events

FEBRUARY NEWS

Emergency Contact Information
Here we are, well on our way in to 2013. We would like to take this opportunity to update all of our emergency contact information. Sometimes family members move or get a new phone number or email address, and we want to be able to reach you if necessary. If you have a loved one at Park Regency, you should have received a form to fill out with your contact information in with your monthly statement. Please feel free to simply drop off your completed form at the front desk or mail it back or even scan it and email it to us. Our email address is parkregency@comcast.net. Thank you for your assistance.

Park Regency Thornton
We are so excited about the progress on Park Regency Thornton. We thought you might enjoy seeing how it is coming along. The construction workers are currently busy working on the third floor of the building. We have a bulletin board across from the elevator near the dining room for you to stop by and see photograph updates.

Training
Our entire staff will be attending all day ongoing training and learning how we can improve the quality of the care that we provide to residents. Half of the staff will attend Jan 26th, and the other half will attend on Feb. 4th. During this training, we will be reviewing all safety and emergency procedures, proper dining room service, infection control, medication administration, resident abuse, residents rights, fall prevention, skin care and wound prevention, etc. In addition, we will have several speakers in to teach us about rehab therapies, home health, and hospice. It will be a full day of inspiring information to help us do the best job we can possibly do to assist our residents and their families.

Shopping
Who wants to go shopping? We all do! Sadly, not everyone who wants to go shopping is available at the time that we have schedules trips to Wal-Mart or King Soopers, etc. Some people miss out on shopping trips due to doctor appointments. For almost all your shopping needs, you can sign up at the front desk to go on schedules trips with Sue. However, if you have a need to get to the store, and our driving is already going that direction and has room for you in the car, we can take you to the store and pick you up at the agree upon time.

Bus Trips
Shopping trips with Sue are every Monday at 12:30, and monthly restaurant trips are at 11:00. The bus holds 18 plus 2 wheelchairs. At the reception desk there is an activity sign up book. Sign up with Karla or the on-duty receptionist at the front desk if you want to go shopping or out to eat. The first 18 get to go but please sign up anyway as an alternate, because if someone can't make it, then you can go in their place. We determine if we can take alternates on the day of the shopping trip, so be in the lobby at 12:30 to see if there is room for you to go.
