Chamber president Jeff Hoffman presented Sirna with a plaque to welcome her.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Thursday for Clintonville’s newest assisted living facility, Care Partners.
Director Tracy Sirna said the facility at 59 Industrial Ave. is taking applications and still in the process of hiring employees. There will be two full-time and two part-time caregivers on each shift, she said.
The assisted living facility offers a place for individuals who do not require a nursing home but need some personalized care. The facility has 16 rooms, including private rooms and shared suites.
Services include salon, daily housekeeping and laundry.
“A single bed and night stand are provided. Residents bring other furnishings,” Sirna said. “They may bring a full-size bed if they wish, and we will still wash their bedding.”
Also, “there are heated floors, and we like that it is all on one floor,” Sirna said.
Sirna said the philosophy at Care Partners is that the quality of a person’s life can be significantly improved by creating an environment that allows individuals daily life choices. The goal is to ensure that the residents and their loved ones can see the difference in the care received, she said.
The keys to ensuring excellent care, according to Care Partners’ approach, are proper training, ongoing education and specialty enhancement programming.
According to Sirna, once the new facility is filled, Care Partners will construct another building for memory care residents.
Care Partners has locations in 26 cities around the state.
