THAT VERY MOMENT OR WHAT FLAVOR
OF OATMEAL THEY'RE EATING THAT
MORNING.
KIND OF INANE STUFF ANNOYS ME.
Trini: YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
WELCOMWELCOME BACK.
THE PLAZA ASSISTED LIVING IS
HAVING AN OPEN HOUSE THIS SUNDAY
AT ALL OF THEIR LOCATIONS.
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE,
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.
TRICIA MEDEIROS JOINS US WITH
ALL THE DETAILS.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
THANK YOU.
Trini: BEFORE WE GET TO THE
OPEN HOUSE INFORMATION, TELL US
ABOUT THE PLAZA ASSISTED LIVING
FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT BE
FAMILIAR.
THE PLAZA IS A SENIOR
COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE FIVE LOCATIONS --
PUNCHBOWL, MILILANI, MOANALUA,
PEARL CITY, WAIKIKI, AND IT'S AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE SENIORS CAN
LIVE KIND OF LIKE IN THEIR OWN
HOTEL OR APARTMENT COMPLEX.
THEY CAN RECEIVE SERVICES SUCH
AS MEALS, HOUSEKEEPING, LINEN
AND THERE'S A NURSING STAFF OR
WELLNESS STAFF AVAILABLE TO DO
BATHING, DRESSING OR GIVE THOSE
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES.
AND A LITTLE BIT OF FOSTERING
INDEPENDENCE FOR THEM.
Trini: DID EVERYBODY HERE
THAT?
THAT SOUNDS HEAVENLY.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A WONDERFUL PLACE
TO LIVE.
LIKE YOU SAID, IF YOU NEED EXTRA
SUPPORT YOU HAVE THE SERVICES
AND THE STAFF THERE.
THAT CAN HELP YOU.
24 HOURS.
THERE'S A BUTTON PUSH AWAY TO IF
YOU NEED HELP OR IF YOU NEED
SERVICES.
THEY'RE AVAILABLE.
Trini: OKAY.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PROGRAMS
THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE?
SO WE OFFER INDEPENDENT
LIVING.
WE OFFER ASSISTED LIVING, AND WE
HAVE A MERYL MEMORY CARE PROGRAM.
THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
FOLKS,*MAYBE THEY DON'T NEED
THAT EXTRA SERVICES BUT THEY
WANT TO RECEIVE MEALS AND
HOUSEKEEPING.
AND HAVE RESIDENT PARTNERS AND
ROOMMATES THAT THEY CAN ENJOY
THEMSELVES.
AND THEN SOMETIMES RESIDENTS
GRADUATE TO ASSISTED LIVING.
AND NOW MAYBE THERE'S MORE
DEPENDENT ON BATHING.
AND OUR MEMORY CARE PROGRAM IS
REALLY SPECIALLY DESIGNED
SPECIFICALLY TO ADDRESS THE
NEEDS OF DEMENTIA FOLKS.
HOW WE CARE FOR THEM, HOW WE
DESIGN OUR MENUS, DESIGN OUR
ACTIVITIES PROGRAM IS ALL
DIFFERENT.
AND IT'S UNIQUE FOR THAT
PARTICULAR CATEGORY.
Trini: I'M THINKING THAT
THESE PROGRAMS REALLY MAKE
FAMILIES FEEL GOOD BECAUSE YOU
KNOW THAT YOUR MOM, DAD, AUNTIE,
UNCLE, WHATEVER, IS TAKEN CARE
OF.
A SENSE OF EASE.
WE'RE ALSO SERVICING THE
FAMILIES.
AND IT'S NICE TO SEE THEM AND,
YOU KNOW, TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF
WEEKS, FOUR, WEEKS TO ADJUST.
YOU SEE THAT SENSE OF RELIEF.
Trini: THAT'S HUGE.
THAT REALLY IS HUGE.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PLACES LIKE
IT OUT THERE.
I KNOW.
I HAD TO GO THROUGH SOMETHING
RECENTLY.
I KNOW.
SO TELL US ABOUT THE OPEN HOUSES
COMING UP.
THIS.
THIS SUNDAY.
Trini: YES.
THIS SUNDAY, 10:00 TO 2:00.
WE DO THEM PERIODICALLY.
WE OPEN THE DOORS.
WE WANT TO COMMUNITY TO COME IN.
MAYBE YOU'RE IN A SITUATION
WHERE I NEED TO FIND PLACEMENT
RIGHT AWAY.
OR MAYBE YOUR SITUATION IS WHAT
IS THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING AND
WHAT DO THIS HE DO?
SO IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
ANYBODY TO COME IN AND SEE WHAT
WE DO.
WHAT THE RESIDENTS DO.
HOW WE SERVICE THE COMMUNITY.
AND EXPERIENCE THEM.
Trini: OKAY.
AND IT'S THIS SUNDAY.
10:00 A.M. TO 2:00 P.M.
DO YOU NEED TO MAKE AN
APPOINTMENT OR CAN YOU SHOW UP?
SHOW UP.
WE'LL HAVE SOME REFRESHMENTS.
IT'S A LITTLE TASTE OF WHAT OUR
RESIDENTS EXPERIENCE.
Trini: WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME
PICTURES.
DO THEY GO ON FIELD TRIPS?
YES.
Trini: I SAW SOME FOLKS IN A
BUS.
WE HAVE A BUS AT ALL THE
FACILITY OR VAN.
THEY'LL GO -- THEY HAVE TO GO TO
LONGS.
YOU GOT TO GO TO MARUKAI.
BUT THEY GO OUT TO THE THEATER.
THEY'LL GO OUT TO THE PARK.
SOMETIMES THEY GO HOLO HOLO HOLO
DRIVE.
THEY GO TO THE NORTH SHORE AND
COME BACK.
Trini: I LOVE IT.
CAN I COME?
I'M LIKE, CAN I MOVE IN?
I ALWAYS THOUGHT WE SHOULD
HAVE A 40-YEAR-OLD VERSION.
Trini: THANK YOU.
FOR WHEN I TURN 40.
YES.
FOR THE FUTURE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL OF THAT
