CARE AND NURTURING COMMITTEE

Through a variety of personal services and support, to make the lives of residents more pleasant and bearable through assistance in difficult times.
(Connie Bimber chair, Margaret-Ann Ellis liaison)

 

Buddy System: To encourage residents who are living alone in cottages or apartments to choose a “buddy” and develop a mutually convenient signal or contact plan, so each person is checked on once a day. (Diane Follet, Elizabeth Hole)

 

 

Hospitalization Notification: (Marcia Deist, Diane Follet)

 

Medical Companions: Resident volunteers accompany (seldom transport) residents, chiefly of the Stephens Care Center, who are sent off-site for medical studies, procedures or consultations. (Ken Cheek)

 

Memorial Services: To help the family of a deceased resident plan a memorial service. This may include help with the location of the service (Kendal or a local church), choosing a clergy person, with the music, the reception, and the myriad details which accompany these decisions. This is particularly helpful if the family is from out of town. To attend and help during the service and make sure all runs smoothly. To be more than a friendly face and support family members while creating a celebration of their loved one’s life. (Carol Harvey)

Peer Mentoring: (John Elder)

 

SCC Shoppers: To shop weekly for small items for Stephens Care Center residents only. (Connie Bimber)

 

Supporting Friends: The mission of the Supporting Friends is to help residents in the Stevens Care Center and their families, under the direction of Social Services and the Director of Nursing. We offer companionship and aid, such as helping with mail, visiting, letters to the bereaved and planned activities. We have been especially trained in end–of–life care and care of the very ill, for both residents and their families. Our members also seek to interact with any socially isolated resident.
