Rock Hill Assisted living Residents Visit the Past

Last week Agape Senior Assisted Living in Rock Hill hosted a car show in partnership with The Master's Car Club. The Master's Car Club is an outreach of Calvary Baptist church that allows them to reach souls for Christ in a "different way." Residents, family members and visitors all enjoyed the fellowship, fun and food--- because when does Agape Senior do anything without food involved?

More to the point when our residents see what we call "old cars" they see their past, they see themselves driving these same cars just "yesterday." It was great to see many of our residents checking out the cars and reminiscing about the past.

It was fun to be able to listen to the stories from the residents about having this car or that car and all of the adventures they had experienced while driving and coming of age. It was amazing to see how a car can bring back memories and revive old stories. I love the seniors at Agape Senior like they are my own grandparents and I love to take the time and listen to the stories of "old" to them and "new" to me.

South Carolina Senior Care Provider; Finding your Power Source

Every day people face challenges. Sometimes those challenges are relatively minor and could be work related such as meeting a deadline or preparing for a presentation, other times they may be serious personal challenges that involve the illness of a loved one, depression or conflict with a friend. Many times a person’s first instinct is to muddle through it on their own. The male species is especially susceptible to this reaction because of his inherent desire to fix things.

 We are a busy society and the advent of the information age combined with the technological advances in communication has given people and companies unprecedented access into our lives. Being connected and always on has become the norm. There have even been new words developed that describe this condition. “Workation” is one that I heard from a sales representative at lunch the other day. For this woman her vacation had become just another opportunity to work.

The answer to our problems may be right in front of us. Instead of just being connected, we could be connected through prayer to a higher power source. Prayer forces a person to find quiet time, reflect and be in communion with their God. Prayer focuses attention on the important things in life and can keep a person grounded. Mother Teresa once said this about prayer; "Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts."

We have to be disconnected from the noise and distraction of this world in order to listen properly. Seeking quiet time in one’s day is a good start. I have the good fortune to work for a faith based senior care company that encourages the expression of faith and where most meetings and meals start with a blessing. At Agape Senior having these daily reminders helps me realize not only the importance of the work at hand but also who ultimately is in charge.

Agapé Senior’s mission is to provide integrated health services to meet the needs of senior adults in a faith-based atmosphere. The company’s philosophy is based upon its commitment to provide the best quality care possible for members of our senior adult community. We are committed to participating actively in and around the communities we serve. Call us at 800-411- 2427.

South Carolina Senior Care Company is on a Mission

The mission of Agapé Senior is simple; improve the lives of senior adults in a faith based atmosphere. People that understand senior care know the level of dedication and resolve it takes to provide quality care 24 hours per day 365 days per year. Agapé Senior has been doing that successfully for over 13 years and has improved the lives of over 40,000 senior adults in the process.

Every day at Agape Senior people’s lives are touched. Caregivers assisting residents with daily activities of living while preserving their dignity and independence. Residents that may once have been isolated at home now dine and share nutritious meals with their community neighbors. Life enrichment directors lead activities, celebrate birthdays, celebrate resident achievements and military heritage. Chaplains minister to spiritual needs through bible studies and church services. Administrators and staff take time out of busy schedules to get to know their residents. Dementia patients working with innovative programs produce beautiful artwork which adorns the comfortable lobbies where family and friends can visit with loved ones.

So If you have never had the opportunity to see a hospice worker gently stroke the face of a patient, or have never seen the sense of relief from a family caregiver when one of our senior solution advisors tells him/her that we can solve their care issue or have never seen the smile of a resident that is being honored you may want to visit one of our communities. You will see the AgapéSenior mission is alive and well.
