Older Adult Care<br />
at Its BEST<br />
When my mother had a stroke<br />
she needed more care than my dad<br />
could provide for her at home, but<br />
he wanted the best for her. A good<br />
nursing center was chosen for mother<br />
to receive the care she needed. But my<br />
dad, knowing they would take good<br />
care of her was not enough…he went<br />
every morning to help my mother<br />
with her breakfast. He cut her banana<br />
into her cereal and broke her bacon<br />
into her eggs because she could not.<br />
He was there and did what he could.<br />
My mom had the best of care.<br />
The best of care comes from those<br />
involved doing what they can with<br />
a nursing center resident. Those<br />
involved include staff, family, friends,<br />
volunteers and church groups. Those<br />
who are involved elevate good care<br />
to best care. This takes place at<br />
<strong>Magnolia</strong> <strong>Manor</strong> when the staff offers<br />
the benefits of servant leadership and<br />
a commitment to “residents first.” It is<br />
seen when our chaplains offer support<br />
for crisis moments as well as spiritual<br />
growth through study and reflection.<br />
Families make good the best as they<br />
visit and encourage older adults with<br />
their presence and love. Churches<br />
make good care the best care when<br />
they bring groups to present programs<br />
of music and study connecting<br />
residents with the community.<br />
<strong>Magnolia</strong> <strong>Manor</strong> changes good care<br />
to the best care when they offer a<br />
wellness program that enables our<br />
residents to “keep on keeping on” and<br />
enjoy good health. You see, the “best”<br />
comes from all who are involved just<br />
being there and doing what they can.<br />
To the congregations in the South<br />
Georgia Conference, I want to challenge<br />
you to find your place in the process<br />
of making good care the BEST at<br />
<strong>Magnolia</strong> <strong>Manor</strong>. I also want to thank<br />
you for the generous way you offer<br />
support through prayer, programs,<br />
gifts and activities. I hope you will<br />
continue to come and support the<br />
best care for our older adults.<br />
Serving Christ with you,<br />
