The Plaza at Edgemere · Family Council

Where things stand

Every concern families have raised since May 5, 2026, counted and dated. This is the baseline. The same four numbers come back to this room in October.

Prepared from the Council’s records as of August 31, 2026. Current counts live on the home page.

Facilities: 18
Largest single area
More items than any other category on the live list.

21 of 44 items have no owner and no department assigned — an internal staffing gap, not a headline.

Dates here are the day a concern was logged, entered as families’ emails arrived — so for most items they sit close to when the problem actually happened. The exception is the early bulk entry: May is mostly Carrie typing up a backlog, not a spike of new problems that month. What the old list could not capture is when leadership was told, and how many families a single problem touched. The report form now asks both.

Patterns worth naming out loud

The July baseline carried a hand-written read of the themes running through the list, and the asks that came out of them. That analysis belonged to July's numbers and is not carried forward here, because repeating it against a different list would make it wrong. Section 05 below is the full live list; the Council writes this month's read from it. The July baseline is unchanged and still shows what was said then.

04

Flagged for safety or care

These 2 are separated out because they are not preferences. If any of these is happening now, it belongs with the Executive Director today — not in a list that gets reviewed monthly. Two outside lines can also take a report directly, and they are not the same thing:

  • Facilities
    Fire and evacuation protocol: clarify and review procedures more often. Some residents are not sure why they are instructed to keep windows closed while also being instructed to stay inside their apartments with the door closed. What do State of Texas laws require for assisted living?
  • Parking · Garage
    Parking for outside home health PT medical staff is not available, which hinders a resident's PT program and sometimes causes her to miss it altogether.

Every item on the list

The whole record, still sortable and still exportable.

Groupings are a starting point for Council review and can be changed. The headline counts at the top still count every individual concern.

Town hall speaking notes (parked — print when needed)

Management runs the town hall; this is the Council’s slot on their agenda. A six-beat arc: introduce the Council, show the patterns, make the asks, and end on proof. The italic lines are close to what you could say out loud.

Suggested flow · roughly 10 minutes of agenda time

1

Introduce the Council and the frame

"We started the Family Council in March to give families one voice with management. This is where things stand today — a starting line, not a verdict. The same numbers come back to this room in the fall."

2

Put up the three numbers

78 open. 17 marked raised with leadership — 16 were the June 2026 email before the platform; the 17th (FC-036) was marked raised but never sent. Largest single area: Lifestyles, 23. Let the room sit with the middle one.

3

Name the safety nine

"Nine of these aren't about preferences. Hot water out for six days. Grab bars not replaced. Whether our people on the third floor are being checked. These can't wait for a monthly list."

4

Show a pattern nobody had counted

Laundry loss — four similar reports grouped by hand. Or the six times something scheduled didn't happen. Pick one and show how the list turned scattered notes into a pattern.

5

Collect while the room is full

"There's a card on your seat, and a code on the screen. If any of these happened to your family too, tell us — that's what turns one voice into a number they have to answer."

6

End on the win

"When we raised Bible study, it was fixed in a week. This works. Keep telling us."

What this baseline cannot do yet. Every item here counts as one. Similar-report themes were grouped by hand in a cluster field — that is not independent family confirmation. The only frequency tally in the spreadsheet is two hand marks next to short-term parking. Once families can tap this happened to us too, and once we record when a thing happened and when leadership was told, separately from when it was typed, these charts start measuring Edgemere instead of measuring our own note-taking.
