While we pride ourselves on offering award-winning care for residents at each of our Runk & Pratt locations, we are especially proud of our state-of-the-art memory support communities. With a growing number of seniors requiring memory care, we’ve ensured each of our locations devoted to memory care feature the most modern advancements to provide a safe, stimulating, and exciting living experience.
Our Multi-sensory Rooms are cutting edge environments that surround the resident with soothing, highly engaging stimuli that produce a calming effect on those living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Studies show that the mood shift caused by this environment increases self-esteem and confidence, reduces inhibitions and aggressive behavior, and improves overall mood. It even reduces the risk of self-injury by 75%
Our Multi-sensory rooms engage our seniors in their senses of sight, sound, smell and touch beyond their day-to-day experiences. These rooms are one of the many ways Runk & Pratt goes above and beyond to provide memory support that far exceeds that of the average facility.
Check out all that's going on over at our senior Day Center - Daytime, Adult Day Center by Runk & Pratt!
DIRECT CARE STAFF NEEDED - CNA, NA, RMA!
We are looking for hardworking and motivated care staff to join our team here at Runk & Pratt! We have five locations between the Forest, Lynchburg and Smith Mountain Lake areas and are hiring for all locations and all shifts.
