Assisted Living
Several years ago one of my husband's former members became ill and was
hospitalized. When his condition improved and he was ready for
discharge, he could only be released to someone that could provide
around the clock care for him. He was subsequently released to an
assisted living facility; his only option. While in the assisted living facility, he described what a horrible experience it was. In his words, the living conditions were substandard, he was paying too much for room & board, and he was not getting the level of care he needed. The Lord immediately placed in my husband's spirit that this is precisely the area in which ministries ought to get involved. Because after all, if someone is in need of assistance with activities of daily living, who is better suited to provide assistance than the church? The Bible records in Luke 10:30-35 that on one occasion the church passed up the opportunity to provide care to someone who was injured. Two men from the religious community saw this man in need and rather than attending to his immediate needs; they just passed by. As shocking as this account is, it drives home the reality that it is time for churches to stop shutting their eyes to the needs of people. Subsequently, the Lord has given us a mandate to provide a place that will give the kind of assistance that some people desperately need. Under the direction and guidance of God, we have established an assisted living facility to provide care to those in need. What We offer We offer a host of amenities and services in the homes.
