It’s all about communication!

Communication is important for any relationship, professional or personal, to be successful. However, in our fast-paced world, it is sometimes hard to communicate as often or thoroughly as is required.

Sometimes, things are changed throughout the day at Meadowlark Hills – usually due to circumstances out of anyone’s control. The movie that is supposed to be shown may not come in or the program might be moved to another room at the last minute. When these changes happen, the Hospitality Team is very diligent at utilizing flyers, the welcome signs and Touchtown TV to alert the residents. 

• Touchtown TV is an internal television channel is managed by the Hospitality Team. This can be found on channel 1960. The channel is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If there is a cancelation for an activity, there will be a slide placed on Touchtown.
• Flyers – The Hospitality Team posts flyers in the elevators, Game Room and the bulletin board at the west side entrance advertising events and activities. Cancelations and changes are communicated on flyers in these areas.
• Welcome Signs – Every day, the Hospitality Team puts out the Welcome Sign for the day in the main lobby. This sign lists the daily meal specials, the movie for the day and a list of the day’s events. If there is a cancelation, the event will be marked out with a note that says “canceled” next to it. If there is change, it will be indicated on the Welcome Sign. 

 Of course, if there is ever a question about an activity or event, please inquire with any of the following people: 

• Monte Spiller, Resident Services Leader, (785) 323-3801
• Hospitality Team, (785) 537-4610
• Sarah Duggan, Community Relations Director, (785) 323-3860
• Magye Loya, Community Relations Assistant, (785) 323-3890 

   See you next week and thanks for stopping by!
