LTC facility--how many floors is yours? and

Published

do you take the stairs between the floors or the elevator?

I know it's a dumb question but humor me.

My LTC is three floors. Sometimes I take the stairs et sometimes the elevator. Depends on the mood et sometimes how long the elevator is taking.

Stairs for me, two flights, I am usually in a hurry!

Ours has 2 floors. I take the stairs whenever I feel guilty for not exercising regularly.

3 floors, I use the steps unless I am carrying too much stuff or something heavy.

I'm also in the habit of when I go up, I turn and go down and back up, and the opposite when I am heading down. My goal is 10 flights of stairs per shift, and doing this gets 3 done on one round trip
