Can you imagine a place where the team goes out of their way to make your life easier? Nestled in East Hyde Park, Deupree House offers a vibrant community for seniors, allowing residents to live life to the fullest with a little extra ease. This isn't just any retirement community; it's a place where details are meticulously managed to ensure that life is not only comfortable but also filled with joy and convenience.
"It's Deupreezy"
Pat Donaldson, Deupree House resident, coined the term "Deupreezy" to capture the effortless ease that defines life at Deupree House. Whether it's securing tickets and transportation to the latest Opera series, resetting a Netflix password, or navigating new medications, the professional team at Deupree House makes everything look easy. The phrase "It's Deupreezy!" has become a catchphrase among residents, summing up the community's spirit of care and effortless living.
The heart of Deupree House shines through in the countless stories of residents who have experienced the dedication of the team members. Here are a few examples:
A Bowl of Comfort
When one resident wasn't feeling well, she craved a Mexican wedding soup like her mother used to make when she was a child. It always made her feel better. Though the soup wasn't on the menu, a dedicated cook knew he had all the ingredients on hand and decided to whip up a pot just for her. This simple act of kindness brought comfort and a sense of home, showcasing the lengths the staff will go to make residents feel cared for.
Tech-Savvy Assistance
Receiving a new iPhone watch for Christmas is exciting, but learning to use it can be daunting. One Deupree resident experienced just that. When a team member noticed the new, unopened watch on her table while checking filters in her apartment, he offered to set it up for her. Now, she loves using it, especially to check her heart rate every morning and sending information to her doctor. The resident was amazed he had even noticed her watch, much less sprang into action the way he did. His small gesture made a big difference.
Weekend Rescue
When another resident faced the distress of a hacked email account, a member of the leadership team came in over the weekend to help. Together, they changed all his passwords and ensured his identity was protected. This act of going above and beyond during personal time exemplifies the deep care and commitment of Deupree House staff. Having been a victim of a hack herself, she recalled how she felt and knew that waiting until Monday would cause so much worry and anxiety.
Creating Memorable Moments
The receptionist overheard a resident sharing her frustration with the Airbnb app. She was trying to plan a family trip for her children and grandchildren. She wanted to rent a house but had never used Airbnb and, in truth, was a bit overwhelmed by all the options it gave her. The receptionist offered to help her. They worked together to review options and find the perfect spot for the family trip. After the special occasion, the resident thanked the staff member again, sharing, “You helped create a memory that will last a lifetime.” This personalized attention to residents' needs is one of the things Deupree House residents cherish the most.
The Small Things Are Often Big
When a resident was talking to his physical therapist, he mentioned that the day seemed perfect for fishing. Without family in town and a way to get to the closest spot, the resident chalked it up to days gone by. The staff member reached out to another team member to see if they could plan a fishing trip later that week. At the next therapy appointment, both staff members “happened” to be in the Fitness Zone and suggested going for a ride. Can’t you see the smile on the resident's face when they pulled into Lake Isabella, and he caught on to the plan? The three friends enjoyed a beautiful afternoon of fishing and lunch with an iced cold beer on the dock. When the resident got home, he called his daughter to tell her about the great day. After hearing the story, she commented, “I am not a bit surprised. This is what sets Deupree House apart.”
Not Having to Ask
All these stories have one thing in common. The team members anticipate the needs of the residents. Many places provide services when someone asks or requests, but the Deupree House team is different. It is one thing to ask, but the difference is not having to request because the team sees you completely.
Their genuine care and willingness to go above and beyond create an environment that feels more like family than a service.
Life at Deupree House is full of moments that highlight the blend of care and engagement. Residents gather around the dining room table at dinner, sharing stories of the day's exceptional experiences. Conversations often begin with, "You are not going to believe what they did today!" – a testament to the staff's ongoing dedication.
From these nightly chats, it's clear that Deupree House is more than just a place to live; it's a place where residents thrive. The staff's ability to make both big and small things look easy is a constant source of amazement and gratitude. This unique approach to senior living ensures that residents feel valued and supported.
