THE FR ANKLIN PARK TPC Pa rkway Senior Liv ing ca mpus is made up of independent living cottages, assisted living apartments and a memor y care neighborhood that meet the needs of a variety of residents. While the services at TPC Parkway cover numerous health conditions, living situations, interests a nd hobbie s , a new a dd it ion t o t he ca mpus provides additiona l levels of care and comfort for residents and their family members. BRINGING CARE TO TPC PARKWAY Late last year, Jibrail Kasperkhan, MD, internist and geriatrician at Franklin Park, was in the market for a new office location. His office at the time was reaching the end of its lease, and he was searching for a more visible location where he could also be closer to patients. " When we were approached by the Franklin Park team about the option to move to TPC Parkway, I knew it would be more convenient for my patients who were a lready residents there," Dr. Kasperkhan says. " Whether they were in assisted living or in one of the memory care units, I could a lso provide services to new residents who moved into TPC Parkway." As Dr. Kasperkhan was contemplat - ing the move, Franklin Park was in the latter stages of a construction project at TPC Parkway. " T h e s t a r a l i g n e d — i t w a s a n opportune time to bring Dr. Kasperkhan onboa rd," says Ca r y La rsen, Director of Corporate Operations at Franklin Park. Existing space was converted into a doctor's office to ma ke room for Dr. Kasperkhan's practice. The project went smoothly, with Dr. Kasperkhan bringing his own equipment to a llow his staff to perform lab work, tests, nebulizer treatments for patients with lung conditions and other routine medica l procedures. Luke Classen, President of Franklin Park, helped guide the project. " This program is great because it allows the doctor to provide more hands-on services to more residents in a close-knit environment. The doctor can grow his practice and do what he does best without worrying about the business side of running an office. Patients from outside are also excited and pleased to see Dr. Kasperkhan in a warm, residential setting, as compared with a more sterile or cold doctor's office building." — LUKE CLASSEN, PRESIDENT OF FRANKLIN PARK Quality Care Is Closer Than Ever at FRANKLIN PARK TPC PARKWAY SENIOR LIVING 1 0
