The Bee Hive Home with Tyler Stevens

Our program on July 7^th was a two-part program.

The first part of our program was President Scott Zerby’s presentation of his goals for this year. The first goal is the set up a strategic plan for the club. Our earlier 5 year plan expired three years ago. Second goal for the year is to focus and increase service, especially leveraging money. Third goal is to enhance the public image and awareness of our club. This would entail a big event where the general public becomes a participant. The fourth goal is to support and strengthen the club, using networking and social events to activate the membership.

The second part of the program was a presentation by Tyler Stevens, the owner of the new facility in Excelsior, Beehive Homes.

The building is on the former site of the Reed Drive-In, just off the corner of Highways 7 and 41. It is a senior memory care center, currently full with 25 residents. Beehive is a franchise operation operating in 16 states.

 

Tyler went on to explain that there are different categories of care for seniors depending on need. The least intrusive is (1) Independent Care where the individual has full freedom. The second is (2) Assisted Living in which the facility staff are available to help the senior with some of the basic daily tasks, and the third is (3) Assisted Living in which the facility takes care of the domestic and health care needs of the patient. In a memory care unit, the seniors live in a locked environment for their own safety.
