Here at Park Place, we have created a culture of giving back to our community. Over the past few months, our residents and associates have been gathering nonperishable food items for our local Second Harvest Food Bank to be donated to those in need. We are grateful for this chance to take action, and get involved for the greater good, and look forward to our next service project to benefit the Spokane community.
Efforts towards COVID-19 prevention have become part of our daily lives, and we are so pleased to share that our Brookdale residents and associates are among the first group to have access to a COVID-19 vaccine. We are partnering with CVS Health through the federal government’s Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program and will be having our first vaccine clinic on Thursday, January 14th between 11am and 5pm for community residents and associates who are interested in receiving the vaccine. Together, we can take action to prevent COVID-19. #BrookdaleHope
