As Parker at Stonegate assisted living resident Julia Tallia’s 100^th birthday approached, the staff spent hours planning how to celebrate her milestone birthday in style while including other residents and her family in a socially distant way. Their hard work resulted in some special memories for Julia and her family.

As we enter the fall season, the chance of a resurgence in COVID-19 cases is top of mind for all of us, especially for health care providers. It is our utmost responsibility to be ready and equipped with protocols that would limit exposure should a second wave occur. At Parker we are implementing best practices and protocols learned in this past year to not only limit exposure but combat the phycological effects a quarantine brings. Many of our solutions center around technology. 

With quarantine protocols still in place, many older adults have discontinued or postponed rehabilitative services, such as physical, occupational and speech therapies, because they are fearful of leaving their homes during the pandemic. Parker has a solution for them.

COVID-19 has changed the questions to ask on behalf of a loved one
