Reid's Park Place, enjoying an afternoon of Mot sizmmtt mm by Catherine Jensen Life is peaceful and the cares of the world far away for those who are residing at Reid's Park Place, Springville's new assisted living center. The facility, the first of its kind in Springville, was designed to offer an alternative alterna-tive to those who have reached a point in life where living alone is no longer the best option. Maureen and Terry Reid, lifelong residents of Springville, are the owners of the 6,000 square foot facility. Built with comfort and safety in mind, Reid's Park Place features 15 private rooms, each with a private pri-vate bath, two large common rooms and a spacious enclosed yard. The Reids are also the day-to-day operators of the facility, and they are very involved, fixing meals, doing housework and offering love and support to each of the residents. The center, which maintains 24-hour supervision, offers assistance assis-tance with the activities of daily living for those who are still independent, but who may require re-quire a little help. Regularly scheduled activities and social interaction assure that no resident ever feels isolated or lonely. Park Place is warm, safe and is very much like a residential home. The Reid's have gone to great lengths to eliminate any hint of institutional care giving. Help is offered as needed with such things as medications, dressing, grooming, hygiene and exercise, but great emphasis is placed on maintaining independence and individual dignity. All meals, laundry and housekeeping house-keeping are provided. The facility has a beauty salon where residents resi-dents can have their hair done by a professional who stops in weekly. week-ly. Church youth groups, volunteer volun-teer performers, family, clergy and friends visit the home regularly, regu-larly, offering entertainment, love, friendship, flowers, decorations, decora-tions, small gifts and companionship companion-ship to the residents. The facility has a large communal com-munal area where residents and their families can visit, relax or watch the big screen television. A smaller living room is also available avail-able for quilting and other activities, activi-ties, including private visits and family gatherings. Each large bedroom has space for lounge chairs, cable television hook-up and an ample bathroom with walk-in shower. Reid's Park Place is not a nursing home, so residents must be in relatively stable health and be able to exit the building in case of an emergency. Each resident receives assistance with activities of daily living as may be needed. Family members are welcomed and even encouraged to remain active in the assistance offered to their loved ones. The food at Reid's Park Place is all homemade and is designed from family recipes. Each meal has been planned to provide a balanced diet, and has been approved ap-proved by a licensed dietician. Barbara Murdock, who also grew up in Springville and has worked for Bart's Catering delights in rolling out dough in the huge modern kitchen as she prepares her "scrumptious" hot rolls. The menu is individualized to accommodate accom-modate special diets. Potential residents are welcome to come in and sample a meal by calling ahead at 491-8979. On Sundays, church services and Relief Society are provided prapn by local wards of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Worship accommodations are also available for residents of other faiths. According to the Reids, every day is an open house at Reid's Park Place. Visitors and volunteers, volun-teers, especially those willing to perform or share talents, are always welcome.
