PRIME LIVING

“This month our Veteran’s Day celebration will include invitations to the community as residents and staff commemorate this important date with a day of fellowship and honoring those individuals who have served our country,” Lyman says.

Autumn Leaves offers active retirees a carefree community environment that’s free from the normal chores and burdens of living alone. You can remain active and independent yet still enjoy the conveniences that make life easier and more pleasant.

“All of this is just part of our effort to help our residents maintain an active, fulfilled lifestyle,” Lyman says.

A new residence offering opportunities for the senior community is slated to open soon. Situated next to Central Market on East Lovers Lane, The Tradition-Lovers Lane presents a continuum of care that begins with physical beauty and carries through with technology, quality service and care, and hospitality, says CEO Jonathan Perlman.

“We feel that assisted living and memory care residents deserve a beautiful environment – as seen in our independent living community – and person-centered care,” Perlman says.

Cutting-edge technology empowers such person-centered care, allowing all of the caregivers to focus on each resident in specific and unique ways, he says. Through this technology, physical problems in residents will be revealed at their onset before they become full-blown, allowing for proactive care and early treatment.

Person-centered care also includes 24-hour nursing and is headed up by Healthcare Director Jane Nunnelee, who sets this community apart and whose stellar credentials include PhD, RN, and Geriatric Nurse Practitioner.

Whether treating individual problems or carrying out routine services, resident assistants always connect with residents relationally, he says.

“At our first community, The Tradition-Prestonwood, we had a terrible ice storm,” Perlman says. “Our dining staff elected to stay the night so that they could serve breakfast the next morning. One resident commented, ‘I came down thinking I would get coffee, and it was breakfast as usual!’” This kind of servant heart is what management at The Tradition-Lovers Lane has sought in assembling the staff for the new community, Perlman says. “If someone has a passion for serving others, we can teach him or her the rest; but that ‘hear t’ has to be there.”

Presbyterian Village North is a community where retired residents enjoy an active, independent lifestyle. The nonprofit faith-based community — located on 65 acres just minutes from NorthPark Center — offers retirement and assisted living, short-stay rehab services, skilled nursing, and certified Alzheimer’s and dementia care.

When you arrive at Presbyterian Village North, the first thing you’ll notice is spacious grounds, beautiful flowers and greenery, says Vicki Caldwell, Residential Sales Manager at Presbyterian Village North.
