Westbrook Place Celebrates Nursing Home Week

Westbrook Place in Westlake celebrated National Skilled Nursing Home Week in a special way two weeks ago.

“Due to the pandemic, we attempted to do our best to help support our staff and residents,” reports Admissions Director Megan Gassman, LSW, CDP. “Mid-week we decided to have a Family Parade! Words cannot even begin to describe how incredibly amazing it was! We had the Westlake Mayor Dennis Clough involved, Westlake Police and Fire Department and between 50-60 cars of family members showed up for their loved ones.

“Our residents held signs as they drove by shouted and were able to see their families faces. Up until this day they have only been able to talk to them on the phone, via zoom or face time.

“We are doing our best to keep our residents safe and to keep COVID out of the facility. The smiles that were on our families and residents faces were priceless! Tears of joy were shed by all. It was truly an amazing and humbling experience.”
