New unit resolved issue, afforded opportunity to accept Medi-Care A patients from the acute hospitals. Competition with memory care RCFEs for early stage dementia residents. Formed a cooperative partnership with RCFEs. The public perception of Norwood Pines within the community. We continue to invite in and tour visitors to our new clinical care unit. 19.

Highlighting our secure setting that provides medication, pain, and behavior management for residents with Dementia. Highlighting the BTP style program to Hospital Case Managers, RCFEs, and smaller Board and Care Homes that accentuates our nursing, and rehab. staffs ability to rehabilitate residents, and return them to a lower level of care. 20.
