When we visited Country Villa Cheviot Garden, we immediately noticed the ease with which staff members conducted their business. Despite being busy, no one appeared harried or stressed. We were told that most staff members stay with the facility for five years or longer. A memo hanging in the nursing station offered every employee a free turkey for Thanksgiving—expressions of appreciation like this certainly contribute to a pleasant work environment. The building inhabits a small patch of land on a busy street, with shops and restaurants within walking distance. Plants and shrubs border the handsome stone facade. A friendly receptionist greets visitors in the small lobby. The activity room leads to an outdoor patio with tables and chairs, the perfect spot for summertime wine socials. Residents play bingo and card games, read the newspaper as a group, and attend book clubs, coffee socials and birthday celebrations. A residents' council meets monthly with the activity director to discuss likes and dislikes. Although the majority of residents use wheelchairs, they're still active, taking trips to nearby movie theaters, restaurants and malls. Entertainers, including some talented children from the local grammar school, visit often. Residents sometimes eat in their rooms, which look like standard hospital rooms and have windows facing the street. Staff members, however, encourage eating as a group in the clean and attractive dining room as long as a resident is feeling up to it.
