La Posada Retirement Community Center Case Study

Improved Essays
During this investigation, the Alive and Weill Check with Ms. Emma Hernandez took place during an announced visit with her at the La Posada retirement community center at 501 S. La Posada Circle, Green Valley, AZ 85614. The retirement community center is a private well-guarded facility with roaming Security Guards throughout the center which prohibits photos to be taken within the facility, as all visits must be through contacting the front lobby office and checking in before any contact is to be made with any of the tenants.

Ms. Hernandez’s meeting was held in her apartment # 123, which was found to be a one bedroom apartment which had a small front living room and a small kitchen with a refrigerator and stove. The interior of the home seemed to be cluttered with various pictures and mementos. However, the apartment was clean and smelled fresh without no present of pet odors. Ms. Hernandez’s demeanor was very cordial as she was pleasant to speak with about her workers’ compensation claim which is associated with the monies which she is currently collecting since 1986. Due to the passage of time of the work-related incident that had caused her back-injury claim, Ms. Hernandez demonstrated difficulty recalling the exact dates and times which applied to the inquiries of this claim.
