PARKERSBURG, W. Va. (WTAP) - The Ohio Valley Health Care is a senior facility that has many amenities to help seniors live a comfortable life. <\/p>\n
But the organization felt like something was missing.<\/p>\n
They found that most activities have more women participating than men. <\/p>\n
\"We have a couple residents that worked for the railroads, so we thought lets do a model train,\" said Jay Miller, administrator, Ohio Valley Health Care. <\/p>\n
Jay says, they shared the idea with Joe Stephens who builds trains and train stations and they werent expecting it to be this big. <\/p>\n
For some seniors, the trains are therapeutic as they sit in front of the window. The train station turned out to be a treat that both men and women enjoy. <\/p>\n
\"Its great for me to see the smiles on their faces and to me its not just a job, its not about the money, these people mean a lot,\" said Joe Stephens, owner of Stephens Outdoor Railways. <\/p>\n
