Russian<\/u><\/a> populations,\u201d said Ugochi Opara, regional director of market development for Marquis Health Consulting Services.<\/p>\nBut it\u2019s not just local demand, we have had residents from as far away as Seattle, WA, looking to joining the community. And although the Korean program might not necessarily be the primary reason that those residents ultimately join Arbor Ridge, it could certainly be a factor.<\/p>\n
\u201cFew skilled nursing settings cater specifically to first-generation Korean immigrants who have difficulty speaking English and eating different foods,\u201d said Kim. \u201cThe objective of the program is to help them feel like they are at home by providing familiarity in every aspect of their care and daily activities.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cArbor Ridge\u2019s Korean program centers on creating a culturally authentic environment for the care and comfort of Korean seniors,\u201d said Kim. \u201cThey enjoy the support of caregivers and medical professionals who share their values and speak their language.\u201d<\/p>\n
This includes a Korean medical director, psychologist, caregivers, and other care team members.<\/p>\n
In terms of d\u00e9cor, Young Kim noted that both the resident rooms and common areas (like lounges) include traditional decorations, such as large artwork pieces featuring Korean landscapes.<\/p>\n
Food is another major component of the Korean program. \u201cOur delicious, ethnic cuisine is prepared in-house for lunch and dinner, seven days a week,\u201d added Kim.<\/p>\n
And lastly, the program makes sure to celebrate Korean holidays\u2014complete with traditional food and other customs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a variety of cultural activities that tie to Korean traditions and holidays,\u201d Kim began. \u201cOn September 11th, we celebrated ChuSeok \u2014 the Korean Thanksgiving. The festivities included staple traditional dishes like jeon (Korean pancakes made from vegetables, sweet potatoes, flour and fish), honoring ancestors, celebration of family and giving thanks. Korean New Year is another big holiday at Arbor Ridge. And throughout the year, our programming weaves in cultural observances and reminders of home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the success that the program\u2019s had so far, according to Kim, he noted that there\u2019s always room to improve. \u201cWe are always striving to improve the experience,\u201d he said. \u201cWe place great value on resident and family member feedback, and their overall well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
