\"\"Parmer Woods in Austin, Texas is making sure all residents are experiencing a comfortable living environment during this difficult time. More than just a facility, as a community, Parmer Woods creates a sense of stability while also providing support for all our seniors\u2019 needs. Parmer Woods is keeping up with statewide mandates<\/a> while also providing extra care to those who are in need. All team members and residents wear masks while around others and residents must keep at least six feet between each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seniors at Parmer Woods are practicing social distancing, even while doing activities. Just recently, our staff put together a game of \u201cKahoot!\u201d with a small group of seniors spaced appropriately apart. Our residents now enjoy the quiz game every Friday while also enjoying some delicious snacks. Seniors are also keeping up with art classes, which have become pretty popular! Every week, residents bring their creativity to life in small groups. Just recently they created their own dreamcatchers. As you can see, just because our normal days have changed a bit, it does not mean the fun has to stop!<\/span><\/p>\n

Our residents are able to contact WellQor professionals who are specifically trained to speak to and help older adults. This is such an important part of our health that sometimes gets overlooked. We are grateful to offer this service to our residents.<\/span><\/p>\n
