Sun Valley Lodge's Committment to Parkinson's Care


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.
