Wish of A Lifetime Foundation

Wish of A Lifetime is a program that makes wishes come true for seniors. Most elderly men and women have something in their life that they have always wanted to do or see, but for many different reasons they are not able to live out their dreams. The Wish of A Lifetime Foundation wish fulfillment program aims to change that, creating opportunities to ensure each of these very special wishes can come true.

Park Regency is proud to announce that the Wish of A Lifetime is now a part of the activity department to help our seniors with a special wish they may have. There are qualifications that each senior who wishes to apply must meet, and Sue, the activities director, will help residents with this process. If any senior has a special wish they might want to try and receive, come and talk to Sue and see if we can get the process started. We have had two wishes granted so far and hope to have many more. This is a wonderful program that every senior should have a chance to participate in. Contact Sue in activities at 970-461-1100 ext. 3157 or just stop by and we will see what we can do for you.

Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair

10am-2pm

You are cordially invited to join the Park Regency family as we host our fourth annual Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair, hosted in Park Regency's activities room. Come see some of the fine pieces our resident artists have created, as well as those of many fine folks from our local community right here in Loveland, Colorado. Artisans from all over the area will be displaying some of their finest works for you to enjoy and purchase, just in time for the Christmas season.

In the lobby and activity room of Park Regency Loveland (1875 Fall River Drive). Everyone is invited, young and old alike.

Come and enjoy our hospitality. Refreshments will be served.

This is always a fun time featuring lots of excellent arts and crafts and holiday spirit.

Calling All Artists!

Park Regency Premier Senior Living is pleased to announce that we are hosting an Arts and Crafts Show featuring the talents of our residents here at Park Regency, as well as those of our local community in the Loveland area.

This event is free of charge to both participants and the public. It is open to young and old alike and all forms of art and/or crafts will be considered. Some of the art forms that will be displayed include mosaics, oil paintings, water color paintings, and photography. We do ask that you keep in mind that this is a family-oriented event.

Park Regency will make the space available for all artists to display their art or crafts, but we do ask that all outside artists bring their own tables or other display needs. All participants will be able to sell their projects at this event (though you can just display), so you will also need to provide whatever you may need to collect monies from those attending to view and purchase your art.

Space is available on a first-come-first-serve basis as space will be limited to around fifty participants..

To sign up, all we need you to do is call reception at 970-461-1100 ex. 83, Jim Pegg at 720-684-7858 or 970-461-1100 x3170, or Sue Stormo at 970-461-1100 x3157, and give us some basic information and you're all set. It's just that simple.

 NEWS & INFORMATION

Christmas and New Year's Holiday

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and we now many of you will be spending time with loved ones. We ask that residents please let us know if they will be staying in the building, having family over to Park Regency, or going out with family for Christmas and New Year's, so we can plan how big of holiday dinners to make and, most importantly, who will be in the building to get their medications, and who we need to prepare medications for them to take with to their family's get-together. You can stop by the front desk or call (970) 461-1100 ex. 83 to let us know. Thank you.

Plans for the New Year

we are now five years old and it is time for a face lift. We are in the process of developing plans to be implemented in 2013 to include upgrade of the front lobby and lounge, add or change out pictures in common space areas, replace worn furniture, carpet, etc.

We are open to your input as we develop our 2013 plans. Please give us your ideas of what would make our environment more pleasant and user friendly. Write a note to Jerry, Carol, or Rebecca.

Staff Changes

Effective December 1st, Jerry will be the Park Regency Loveland Executive Director and the Park Regency Thornton Manager. Carol Pegg will be the new Park Regency Loveland Administrator.

On January 1, 2013, Rebecca Topscher will take over the position of Marketing/Admissions Director and Karla Romero will take over at the front desk as out new receptionist.

We expect our operations and service levels will continue or improve with these great employees in their new positions. They have been training for the new jobs for months.

Please feel free to congratulate these people on their promotions.

Transportation

Park Regency provides transportation for residents to and from medical appointments, local emergency rooms, and group outings. Transportation is available as follows: Monday through Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm. (Please keep in min that Park Regency provides transportation within 10 miles of Park Regency at no cost.)

Every resident has the right to be transported to the hospital emergency room 24 hours a day. This is done by calling 911 either by the resident or a staff member or by being taken to the emergency room by a relative or Park Regency transportation if available. Likewise, a resident can return from the emergency room by a relative or if an administrative person is available, then that person will come to pick you up. Should no one be available to pick you up, both MC and McKee will call Yellow Cab for you.

If residents need transportation on weekends or holidays they should have family or friends provide the transportation. If family or friends are unavailable, then the resident should be prepared to call a local cab company or senior transport. The local Yellow Cab number is: (970) 224-2222. A one mile trip would run $5.75 plus $2.25 for each additional mile. SAINT provides door to door transportation within Lovealnd only. The Loveland SAINT number is (970) 223-8653. They provide transportation within the hours of 8:15am until 4pm. You must make an appointment at least 2 days ahead of time. A donation of at least $1.00 would be appreciated. There is also a new free transport service called Connecting Health. The University of Colorado Health and Columbine health Systems are providing ambulatory van runs on a regular basis Monday through Friday between PVH, Harmony Campus, MCR, and the Greeley Medical Clinic. Their schedule is available on the table near the front desk.
