In an effort to provide the very best care to
those who suffer from Parkinson’s disease, Sun Valley Lodge has made a commitment
to provide a trained staff and dedicated special services to those living with the
disease. Earlier this year we partnered
with the Muhammed Ali Parkinson’s Institute to train key members of our staff
in a comprehensive education and certification program for Parkinson’s care. Employees
serving our independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing residents
all received specialized training. Nurses,
nursing assistants, caregivers, dietary personnel, and even administrative
staff underwent a comprehensive five week training program with the Ali
Institute in order to understand and be able to best serve those in need of
Parkinson’s care.
In addition to a trained staff, the Lodge is
also dedicating six rooms in our Health Care Center to Parkinson’s
patients. Residents staying in these
rooms will have access to a trained staff sensitive to their needs, specialized
therapy, and a dedicated workout area specially designed for those with
Parkinson’s. Follow our progress as we continue
to develop innovative ways to take care of our residents.
