Page 3 Rosewood Estate is a dignified alternative which provides an opportunity for residents to be as independent as they can be and provides an opportunity for family involvement when desired. Because residents are charged only for additional services used, the cost is far less than paying for all-encompassing assistance services. Rosewood Estate is a "cutting edge" method of enhancing the dignity of the trail elderly, promoting independence and encouraging family involvement with shared risk while conserving costs of caring for elderly persons who can no longer live alone. Rosewood Estate presently employs 35 people with 18.75 FTE's (full time equivalents). Thirteen are full time employees and 22 are part time. Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota (the in-house home health care agency) employs 28 people with an equivalent of21.5 FTE's. Sixteen are full time employees and 12 are part time. With the addition of the 34 apartments, Rosewood's employees will increase by 6.5 FTE's to 25.25 FTE's, and Presbyterian Homes' staffing will increase by 5.75 FTE's to 27.25 FTE's. Rosewood Estate opened for occupancy in September of 1989. Although it was projected that the project would take 17 months to fill, it was fully occupied in less than 11 months. Rosewood Estate has remained full for the last 34 months of operation. There is presently a waiting list for apartments of approximately 65 individuals. Rosewood Estate has received many awards and honors because of its unique approach to care for our ftail elderly. VI.
