Residents were hesitant to leave their rooms, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/parmer-woods-at-north-austin\/activities\/\">the activities program<\/a> needed revitalization. Bernard knew that the first step was building relationships.<\/p><p>His priority was getting residents out of their rooms and engaging with each other. Instead of jumping straight into group activities, he started by connecting with residents individually. \u201cI said, okay, I\u2019m going to build a relationship with each resident and their families.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2bd615 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a2bd615\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a977daf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a977daf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Bernard\u2019s approach isn\u2019t just about events; it was about fostering a sense of community where every resident felt seen and valued. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about bingo or dominoes or puzzles. It\u2019s building relationships\u2014that stimulating conversation\u2014so they don\u2019t feel alone,\u201d he explained.<\/p><p>One of Bernard\u2019s most impactful practices is his deeply personalized approach to each resident. He starts by telling them, \u201cThis is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/parmer-woods-at-north-austin\/photos\/#virtual-tour\">your home<\/a>. You tell me what you like.\u201d Bernard believes the title &#8220;Life Enrichment Director&#8221; is far more fitting than &#8220;Activities Director.&#8221; For him, true enrichment goes beyond organizing activities; it\u2019s about creating an environment where residents feel their lives are richer and, most importantly, where they feel genuinely loved and cared for.<\/p><h2>Real Connections, Real Impact<\/h2><p>What sets Bernard apart is his genuine care for the residents. His work isn\u2019t just about having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/careers-parmer-woods-at-north-austin\/\">a career<\/a>; it\u2019s a deeply personal calling. \u201cI want you to feel that trust and that sense of family as soon as you enter Parmer Woods\u2019 doors,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>Bernard\u2019s impact is evident in the way residents and their families talk about him. They\u2019re protective of him, not just because he\u2019s good at what he does, but because they know he genuinely cares. \u201cI\u2019m not here to sell you anything\u2014this is real life, and I know how you feel,\u201d Bernard said, reflecting on the trust he builds with families during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/parmer-woods-at-north-austin\/\">tours<\/a> and daily interactions. \u201cI\u2019m crying with them because I know, and I\u2019ve been there before with residents and their families.\u201d<\/p><p>Bernard is also deeply involved in the daily lives of the residents. He doesn\u2019t spend his days sitting in an office\u2014he\u2019s constantly moving, engaging with the community. \u201cI don\u2019t get the chance to sit in the office and type and talk. I\u2019m up and down all day, looking at my watch\u2014three o\u2019clock, 10,000 steps already,\u201d he shared.<\/p><p>Bernard\u2019s commitment to the residents goes even further with his involvement in the Meals on Wheels program, which he participates in alongside the residents at Parmer Woods. This initiative not only provides essential services to those in need but also strengthens the sense of community among everyone involved.<\/p><h2>Why Parmer Woods Stands Out<\/h2><p>Parmer Woods at North Austin isn\u2019t just a senior living community\u2014it\u2019s a place where residents find genuine connections, thanks in large part to Bernard\u2019s leadership.
