Please stop in and introduce yourself to Kimberly if you have not had the chance to meet her yet. Welcome Kimberly! Karri Key AL / MCC Administrator Karri Key is our Assisted Living Administrator.She started this role about 8 months ago. However, Karri started out with Dallas Retirement back in 2008, as a charge nurse, then became one of our key Nurse Managers in our Health Center. Karri has been a nurse since I have had the privilege of working along Karri for many years, and find her heart for each resident, their family members and her staff, to be so refreshing. She wants what is best for each individual that comes into her life. I asked Karri why she wanted to be a nurse, and she said she decided to be a nurse after reading "Cherry Ames" book series. These books were along the lines of the Hardy Boys back in the day, but were about a nurse by the name of Cherry. Welcome Karri!

5 DRV is Going to the Dogs As of August 2014, Dallas Retirement Village will now be including doggies on our roster of residents, in designated areas. Up until now, residents have not been permitted to bring there pets to live with them on campus. We have always encouraged visiting pets, but our furry companions were not able to reside with their owners. We are looking forward to having these new 4 legged residents here with us! There is obviously criteria and systems we have put in place to accommodate our newest residents. One of the great things about this project is we have teamed up with a local business called, All Animals are Heavenly, right across the street from us on Ellendale Avenue. All Animals are Heavenly are willing to help out when we need them, 24 hours a day. We all recognize the need and desire for our residents to have their dog or cat come with them when they move here, so this project that DRV and All Dogs are Heavenly have been working on, is finally going to happen, and we could not be happier..
