West Columbia Assisted Living Welcomes Artist Resident

Agape Senior of West Columbia has many ways of welcoming our new residents. Among the many ways, we offer our new residents the opportunity to host welcome parties. These parties are a wonderful way for friends and families to get to see their loved ones’ new home. Today, we rolled out the red carpet for one of our newest residents and talented artist, Ms. Sara Gray. Ms. Gray is an accomplished artist and has had many of her pieces displayed in several galleries throughout the state. Ms. Gray had many guests and thoroughly enjoyed showing off her beautifully decorated apartment. The walls in Ms. Gray’s apartment look much like an art gallery – with all of her still lifes and landscapes beautifully displayed. Ms. Gray was resident of Agape several years ago and we are very thankful for her return.

Agapé Senior’s mission is to provide integrated health services to meet the needs of senior adults in a faith-based atmosphere.

Agapé Senior Assisted Living Garden City Rolls out Red Carpet for Residents

Imagine bringing your Grandmother into an assisted living community on her very first day. Now imagine the moment she enters the front door being immediately greeted by several staff members who welcome her to her new home with a red carpet rolled out for her entrance. You can see the love,kindness and joy in the eyes of the staff as they welcome her home.

Now picture the administrator giving your Grandmother a personal tour of the community and pointing out key places where she will most likely want to frequent. Then imagine her going to her room and finding her door covered with balloons and her new family, the neighboring residents, there to welcome her to her new home in Agape Senior’s Assisted Living in Garden City.

There is only one person that makes this kind of magic happen daily in Garden City. Meet JoAnn. JoAnn is the Life Enrichment Coordinator for the Garden City, community. This is what she expects from herself on a daily basis…and achieves. From the moment every new resident enters the door at Agapé Senior Assisted Living in Garden City, JoAnn coordinates a “red carpet experience.”

Now take a peek at the rest of your Grandmother’s first day. What a surprise she has when she realizes that she does not even have time to sit in her room because the first activity is starting; it is her first game of Bunco. Soon after, she finds one of the many newspapers available throughout the community and a new friend to talk with about current events. Suddenly the smell of beef tips over rice catch Grandma’s attention. Her new friend and she head to the dining room with JoAnn leading them along with a smile. Grandma is pleased when she samples the culinary delights that the Agapé chef has prepared!

Right after lunch, members of a local church come by and Grandma joins in a sing-a-long. She sings her heart out to her favorite hymns along with 40 of her new neighbors. Before dinner, Grandma enjoys one of Garden City’s famous “happy hours” where she sips a cool beverage while listening to live music. Then a delicious dinner is served, and Grandma ends her first day with a smile.

JoAnn makes every day for every resident in the community as festive and happy as Grandma’s first day. You might say she has a magic touch. She certainly has an overflowing heart and a passion for bringing joy to the elderly. Bringing a loved one to assisted living can be an ordeal or a celebration. People like JoAnn make it a celebration. Want to find out more? Come to Agape Senior Assisted Living in Garden City and ask for JoAnn!

West Columbia Senior Solution Advisors Receive Specialized Internet Marketing Training

West Columbia based Agape Senior provided the front line marketers with specialized internet strategy training on Friday, October 8, 2010. The Senior Solution Advisors (SSAs) from across the state attended the training via webinar. West Columbia, Lexington, Harbison, Kathwood, Laurens, Garden City, Conway, and Rock Hill were the assisted living facilities that had representatives in the training.

Each facility within the Agape Senior network has a dedicated SSA assigned. The SSA is the one-stop informational resource for families and potential residents that have questions about assisted living. In addition to the assisted living SSA, hospice services, skilled nursing, physician services, and rehabilitation services have their own dedicated SSAs.

Agape Senior believes that it is important that all of its marketers understand that residents and family members today are seeking relevant information about care options online. Information should be easy to locate and customers should have access to an expert when necessary.

The focus for Agape Senior in the very near future will be to have an online senior resource center that will cover a variety of issues. Health, lifestyle, exercise, and diet will be just a few of the topics that will be discussed from a senior perspective. Experienced experts, from physicians to speech therapists, will provide real life content that will allow people to make informed choices about future care options.
