HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We are excited to enter into a new year with our residents! We are counting on 2017 to bring an array of new life into our existing structure by adding new  programs, meals, volunteers and outings while continuing with the same expert level of care.  

If there is anything that we can do for you or your family to make your new year better please let us know.  
Change in Madison Heights Physician Services 
For those of you who don't utilize our house physician for your loved one, I want to make you aware that we have changed our physician provider at Madison Heights. Brad Cheek N.P., who has been treating our residents since the opening of Madison Heights, will be working with Dr. Girindra Raval beginning in January. Dr. Raval has years of experience in internal medicine including his role as a hospitalist at Doctors Hospital in addition to his current duties as a hospitalist at Health South Walton Rehab. We are excited about the care he and Brad will be continuing to provide our residents at Madison Heights. If you would like to take advantage of this service for your loved one, please contact Christen or Marcus.

Temporary Road Closure
We wanted to make you aware of a temporary road closure that will affect Madison Heights.  Currently, the intersection of Washington Road and Knob Hill Farm Road is closed for road work.  To access Madison Heights you will need to turn onto William Few Parkway then turn left on Knob Hill Farm Road and follow the road to Madison Heights (see image below).

We are working with the county and construction company to ensure that we can make this change as short as possible.

Spotlight Volunteers
 
Our volunteers in the spotlight this month are Brownie Troop 20021 and Daisy Troop 20022 !
 
These troops joined forces on a Saturday morning and came to sing to our residents!  They brought so much joy from the moment they walked into the building.  This Daisy Troop also planted flowers here in the spring from their girl scout cookie earnings.  We are so thankful for all of these young girls who are giving back to their community!
