There is a new executive director at Taylorville Estates. Janet Dobson has been picked to lead the Assisted Living Home. Dobson who has been in Senior Care for a while now is excited for what the future presents for Taylorville Estates. She says that she really enjoys the business side of senior care. 

Dobson says she’s excited to be here and finds the families warm and inviting. She’s also proud of what the staff has done in the short time that she’s been there.

Toni Clark, Nurse Manager at Taylorville Estates says COVID has been difficult, but they have worked hard to navigate through the thick of it.

Clark also says that the residents and the resident's families have done a fantastic job of following protocol.  Visitor guidelines are still relatively tight, and Taylorville Estates wants you to set up an appointment before you come and visit, but so far there haven’t been any issues as families are just happy to be able to see their loved ones. Families can also meet outside.

Dobson says that she has goals for 2021, but she’s happy with how things are going right now at Taylorville Estates. She does want to enhance some activities that are already going on.

Dobson also wants to work with the VA to help veterans access their benefits better and work to make sure they are taken care of.
