Give summary of visit <br />with Administrator or SIC. Does the facility have needs that <br />the committee or community could help address? <br /> Again, we observed Brookdale is a caring and positive <br />community. The staff know the residents and each other well <br />and help maintain a “family-like” social and living <br />experience. Staff consider Brookdale the residents’ home and <br />they work hard to make it so. <br /> <br />Summary of exit interview: Current Director, Allison <br />Mihaley will be leaving to work for a Brookdale program in <br />the western part of NC. She has built a great team at <br />Meadowmont and they will hopefully continue their <br />outstanding work. <br /> <br />Brookdale offers weekly offsite outings. In-residence <br />activities are reviewed and updated as needed, e.g. Music <br />Binger—Name that tune style is a current hit over usual <br />number Bingo. <br /> <br />The continuing procedure of documenting resident <br />preferences and history, and entering on a database, helps <br />ensure that staff and program directors can consider their <br />“family” of residents when making decisions that affect their <br />lives. The data is updated as things change for residents and <br />the community. <br /> 1/2015
