The Loch Lomand Villa has something to brag about. They have attained Planetree designation for being a resident-centered community.
The Villa’s CEO Cindy Donovan tells CHSJ News they took it on as their mission to really change the language and the culture about growing old and of living in a nursing home.
She says nursing homes now have people from the age of 40 all the way to 103.
Donovan adds they are now about places to come to live not places to come to die.
The Villa began the process earlier this year and had to meet 60 criteria in order to get Planetree certification.
