1 <br /> 25 <br /> SUPPORT SERVICES PLAN <br /> CAROLINA SPRING will provide a variety of SUPPORT SERVICES specifically programmed <br /> TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE for its elderly residents and specifically made available <br /> AT THE SITE and AT NO COST to its elderly residents. <br /> These support services are intended to improve each resident's PHYSICAL, MEDICAL, and <br /> FINANCIAL well-being, regardless of age. <br /> PHYSICAL FITNESS: <br /> The Carolina Spring residents will not only have an indoor exercise room and outdoor <br /> fitness equipment and walking circuit to facilitate individual exercise, included in the <br /> project design and budget; but, will also be provided with weekly group exercise classes <br /> focusing on mobility, stretching, and flexing, taught by exercise instructors specializing in <br /> elderly fitness, and provided AT Carolina Spring by the Wellness Center staff at an hourly <br /> cost to Carolina Spring and at NO cost to the residents. While all residents will be <br /> encouraged to attend these group exercise classes, offered twice a week for one half hour <br /> per class, it is our experience that about one half of the residents will probably attend <br /> occasionally, and a smaller "hard core" group will attend regularly. A copy of the Wellness <br /> Center's letter to provide these exercise classes is attached. <br /> MEDICAL FITNESS: <br /> The Wellness Center will also be provider of weekly health services, on a regularly- <br /> scheduled day each week for a two hour "drop in" clinic conducted by a Registered Nurse <br /> trained in gerontological medicine, who will provide any interested senior resident with <br /> health assessment and referral for particular symptoms, blood pressure screening, periodic <br /> immunizations, etc. This weekly health clinic will be provided AT Carolina Spring in a <br /> specially designated and private screening room at an hourly cost to Carolina Spring and at <br /> NO cost to the residents. It is our experience that nearly all residents will use these health <br /> services as needed. A copy of the Wellness Center's letter to provide these health <br /> services is attached. <br /> FINANCIAL FITNESS: <br /> Carolina Spring will provide monthly presentations on financial issues pertinent to senior <br /> citizens. The hour long presentations will cover topics such as household budgeting, debt <br /> management, estate planning, income tax preparation, investing, etc., and will "re-cycle" <br /> each year to educate new residents and update continuing residents. These financial <br /> education services will be provided AT Carolina Spring by the Edward D. Jones Company, <br /> a respected financial services firm, at a monthly cost to Carolina Spring and at NO cost to <br /> the residents. All residents will be encouraged to attend presentations pertinent to their <br /> situations. A copy of the Edward D. Jones Company letter to provide these financial <br /> fitness services is attached. <br />
