In this video, Angie Simpson, the administrator of Lotus Park Assisted Living, discusses about patient care.

"One of the things when I was first approached be the owners to be the administrator, I immediately knew who I wanted to hire as my nurse. It was a big deal to me because I've worked with her before. She is very very particular about how she takes care of her patients.

I've witnesses how she takes care of her patients. I've seen her do things for her patients that are above and beyond the call of duty, that aren't just defined by the nursing ethics. She bonds with her patients and she takes very good care of them and I knew she would do that here. I knew I wouldn't have to worry. That took a huge load off my shoulders, knowing if she came with me the patients would be taken care of. So that was a big deal.

She has been very particular about how out aids care for our patients. Just the small details, making sure that they have everything they need to either care for themselves or if we need to help them. Such as making sure they have good oral care or that they're getting their showers and that their hair is taken care of, that we don't let them come out and not have somebody make sure they're dressed right. Not that they have to dress super particular or really great but we keep it nice and presentable because some of them will want to come out on their own and maybe it's not what should be seen in public.

But she's really particular and she makes sure they're getting enough to eat and enough to drink. We try not to be too forceful and make it feel like it's really clinical and you have to do this stuff. We try to give and take a little because some of them don't want to eat enough. So we try to encourage them or we try to at least find foods that they like so they will eat. They lose their appetite and they start losing weight. We need to make sure that they're eating right and getting enough food. So we try to do it delicately but yet still accomplish the goal.

I hope this video has answered some of your questions about Lotus Park Assisted Living. Please feel free to contact us. Come down, take a tour, we would love to meet you."
