The Mission’s Hope Respite Care facility is for participants who have been discharged from the hospital and are in need of a place to recuperate after surgery or illness. In the beginning of February, an Activities Coordinator was hired to provide activities to help stimulate the minds and bodies of our participants and aid in their healing.
Sidney, our new Activities Director, came to help us get started. She has her A.A. degree and will begin her nursing program in August. She has been busy building relationships with our participants and having lunch with them. Different activities are being offered like games, such as Bingo, and puzzles. Sidney is also involving the participants in decorating cookies and cupcakes, as well as teaching people how to crochet. She is also looking forward to getting participants involved in games like Cornhole and Bocce Ball. The participants at Hope Respite Care, and even at Hope for Veterans, are paying attention to what is going on and getting involved. We hope and pray that these activities will bring about better mental and physical health for all those we serve.
