Regarding the shift in duties from herself to Flanagan, Purington said, “To over-simplify the change, all corporate matters will remain with me, and all nursing center compliance matters will shift to Mrs. Flanagan.” Corporate matters include strategic planning, legal, financial, and public relations. Nursing center compliance includes resident care, rehabilitation, infection control, and family relations.

Additionally, Patricia Prive, RN, Assisted Living Administrator, will continue to oversee resident and family relations in both the Retirement Living and Assisted Living centers at Presidential Oaks.
