Magnolia Manor Chaplains
Magnolia Manor Creating JULY 2010 Communities of Care for Senior Adults Volume 31, No. 3 Magnolia Manor Chaplains Providing Spiritual Care Story on page 4 From the President’s desk At the midpoint of this year, I still have some serious concerns about the big picture of our economy, but honestly, I cannot do much about that big picture. What excites me are those things at Magnolia Manor over which we do have some control and the new things we are doing to better serve our residents. Board of Trustees Mr. Cecil D. Abarr Dr. Connie Blanchard Dr. Hal N. Brady, III Mr. Jimmie Buchanan Mr. John P. Gill Mrs. Ann L. Harris Mr. Mark D. Johnson Mr. Wayne Johnson Mrs. Eloise R. Paschal Hon. J. Taylor Phillips Mr. Robert Reinhardt Mrs. Edie S. Vinson Mr. George Youmans Ex Officio Trustees Rev. Lowrey Brantley Rev. Marcia J. Cochran Rev. Nathan Godley Rev. Shane Green Rev. Marshall Howell Bishop James King Rev. Tommy Mason Rev. Ronnie Wills Emeritus Trustees Rev. J. William Dupree Mr. Will Peterson Mrs. Betty D. Pope Mr. J. Hinton Reeves Dr. A. Jason Shirah Dr. James T. Trice, Jr. First of all, we are seeing positive results from the many difficult decisions made over the last year and a half. Financials have improved as a result of strict budget management measures. It is obvious, however, that we cannot do all that we need to do solely through cost controls. In addition to effective budget management, we are seeing very positive census results on all the campuses where we made administrative leadership changes. While change is never easy, the results we are seeing reveal the effectiveness of our current leadership team, and I am proud of the work the whole team is doing. Secondly, I am excited about new and creative measures we are taking to change the way we offer our services to older adults. In Buena Vista, we have begun a new Adult Day Health Program. This program offers skilled nursing care for seniors Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm. The program makes use of existing Magnolia Manor facilities and staff to support families who need assistance in caring for an adult loved one but who are not ready for admission to a nursing home. This pilot program will be monitored and hopefully implemented at other campuses. In Americus and Columbus, we have remodeled and revamped our physical Andrea Walker, Dir. of Donor Communications 2001 S. Lee Street Americus, GA 31709 (229) 931-5922 [email protected] rehabilitation programs, grouping residents with similar short-term rehabilitation needs and goals together. We have found the response to this new approach to be very positive. One of the results has been a great improvement in Medicare census in our skilled nursing centers. One final reason for the positive excitement I feel in what we are doing is our chaplaincy program. Our chaplaincy program for residents is unmatched in its size and in its quality. At the South “Focus on the Positive!” Georgia Annual Conference in Tifton, the introduction of extension ministers made it obvious that Magnolia Manor has the greatest personnel commitment to chaplaincy ministry of any agency in the conference. In fact, our number of chaplains exceeds the number of chaplains appointed to all the other agencies combined! It speaks not only to the quality of how we seek to serve our residents but also to the scale on which we are working. In difficult times, it is easy to focus on the negative and see only the obstacles. However, our leadership team, our creative new programs and the excellence of care given by our staff cause me to focus on the positive and to see the many opportunities for Magnolia Manor to expand and enhance the care we offer to seniors across the state. I hope this all excites our donor partners, too. Your continued support is essential to our ability to take advantage of the opportunities before us.

Todd, President & CEO Hill Fort, Americus Barbara Mitchell, Buena Vista Angela Rose, Columbus Wade Barr, Macon Teresa Newell, Moultrie Rich DeLong, Richmond Hill Dianne Feine, St. Marys Jackie Crisp, St. Simons Island Hill Fort, Sr. Vice President for Operations Jerry Vick, Sr. Vice President for Finance Robert Beckum, Sr. Vice President for Church Relations and Development Diane Wade, Sr. Vice President for Marketing 2 Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com Mark R. Todd, President Le a g u e o f t h e Good Samaritan Reverend Robert Beckum, Sr. Vice President of Church Relations and Development The League of the Good Samaritan is the charitable arm of Magnolia Manor, the official older adult ministry of the South Georgia Annual Conference. Many older adults rely on your generosity to have the care they need in their golden years. The League exists because our founders promised that no one, having chosen to come to Magnolia Manor, would ever have to leave when the ability to pay for needed care ended. Because League dollars are awarded on an individual basis, monies required vary greatly. Some recipients need only a few dollars to make ends meet. Others require a larger award. Despite the best of plans, sometimes money runs low. Care costs increase. The retirement years, instead of being a reward for years of service to family, employer and community, can be a troubling time. How The League Helps At these times the League of the Good Samaritan helps. Residents are asked to pay all that they can, keeping a small reserve for personal spending. Government monies are sought. And the difference is paid with League dollars. Where the Money Comes From Nearly 100 percent of League funds come from people like you — Good Samaritans who care about South Georgia’s older adults — people who want seniors to have the care they need, in a comfortable and safe environment filled with Christian values and good friends. Shortfalls in the money raised by the League of the Good Samaritan must be drawn from the Magnolia Manor operating budget, diverting funds from other critical programs. Where the Money Goes On average, a single person drawing from the League requires $810 a month. Your gift of $35, $50, $100, $2,000 or more makes a tremendous difference in the life of an older adult. DONATE ONLINE If you wish, you can donate to Magnolia Manor through our secure website by following three easy steps: 1-Go to www.magnoliamanor.com 2-Click on Giving. 3-Click on Make a Gift. Thank you for your gifts of love and support! Donations may be made in honor of or in memory of a special person or group. Our staff will send a notice of the gift to the honoree, keeping the amount private. It’s a thoughtful way to let your gift give twice. Answering Christ’s Call Christ entreated us to love one another as we love ourselves. Giving to the League is a good way to give your love. The parable of the Good Samaritan outlines a lesson of giving without reservation. In the parable, the Samaritan assists the troubled traveler, even paying for his lodging. Please join the League of the Good Samaritan and help pay for the lodging of one who has traveled life’s road before you. Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com 3 Spiritual Care a t M a g n o l i a Manor From our very beginning in 1963, Magnolia Manor has always had a Methodist minister assigned as a chaplain for our residents. Mark Todd, President and CEO of Magnolia Manor, says, “The chaplains on our staff, and the services they provide, help to remind us who we are and what we are all about as an organization in our care of senior adults.” Over the last six years, Todd has made a major commitment to expanding chaplaincy services to keep up with Magnolia Manor’s growth. Currently, Magnolia Manor has six United Methodist chaplains (three full-time and three parttime) who care for residents and staff at all eight campuses of Magnolia Manor. Rev. Dennis Stalvey is the Senior Chaplain whose task it is to supervise all other chaplains and oversee the Manor’s program of spiritual care. All full-time chaplains have completed endorsement training programs and are endorsed by the United Methodist Church and the American Association of Pastoral Counselors indicating the chaplaincy program’s commitment to excellence and best practices. Rev. Joy Wilson, an Assistant Chaplain for the Americus Campus, says that the relationships with the residents are the greatest rewards of her work. “I love meeting the residents and doing something to encourage them and strengthen their faith,” Wilson says. Joy’s mother is a resident at Magnolia Manor and she says, “I try to care for each resident just as I want my mother cared for.” The residents all pick up on Joy’s radiance and enthusiasm. Rev. John Brodess served as the only Magnolia Manor chaplain from 1993 until his retirement in 2005. Now, in retirement John continues to serve as an Assistant Chaplain. John says, “I love being able to comfort our residents in times of transition and in times of grief, and I find it most meaningful to feel that I can contribute some measure of comfort and faith by my presence with our residents.” Rev. Cindy Bennett serves as an Assistant Chaplain for the Columbus Campus of Magnolia Manor. Cindy says, “Ministering with our residents, staff and family members is a privilege and a daily challenge.” Cindy has served the Columbus Campus for three years now and feels that it is an honor to represent the United Methodist Church in such a lifegiving way. Rev. Madison Morgan is an Assistant Chaplain for the Richmond Hill Campus. Madison says, “It is a joy to serve senior adults. I enjoy spending time with them and they help me live a more productive life.” Madison reflected back and said, “If I had known the joy that I was going to experience in chaplaincy like this, I would have been doing this a long time ago.” Rev. James Boyd says, as Assistant Chaplain for St. Simons and St. Marys of Magnolia Manor, “I have gained fresh insight to the needs and concerns of older adults and I am grateful to be a part of their lives in this great ministry.” James has been in the ministry for almost 52 years and he says, “There is just something special about serving older adults.” Chaplains at Magnolia Manor do not act alone. All chaplains are part of a team of staff members working together to meet the spiritual, social, physical and emotional needs of our residents. We are always working, Stalvey said, to “Help people discover real community.” 4 Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com Magnolia Manor believes in, “Creating caring communities for senior adults.” All chaplains agree that the most meaningful part of their work is the privilege of participation in a vital residential community, one that is open, welcoming, and grounded in faith. ANNUAL CONFERENCE —IN TIFTON— June 6–9, 2010 At right, the ladies from Tifton First UMC graciously serve the crowd Dip-N-Dots for dessert._ Below right, conference attendees enjoy Bar-b-que and live music. The South Georgia Annual Conference in Tifton was a great time of fellowship for United Methodists. The first day of conference business always ends with The Methodist Home Bar-b-que and Magnolia Manor Dip-N-Dots. As usual the Dip-N-Dots were a huge hit. Delegates had numerous options for enhancing efforts for improved health. Andrea Walker, Director of Donor Communications, led the largest of the health emphasis workshops. Her workshop on better nutrition was entitled, “Eat Up, Slim Down.” One emphasis of this year’s conference was, “A Healthier Me.” Pictured above, Andrea Walker, Director of Donor Communications, is ready to lead her nutrition workshop, “Eat Up, Slim Down.” Robert Beckum greets Frank and Joyce Gordy, delegates from Louisville, Georgia, as they emerge from Andrea’s workshop with rave reviews. Pictured above, Magnolia Manor residents Ray and Juanita Wilder stand with their family after the service recognizing retiring clergy and clergy with fifty or more years of service. Rev. Ray Wilder (right) was recognized for fifty-three years as a member of the annual conference Rev. Bill Strickland (left) retired this year with thirty-nine years of service. Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com 5 Creative Writing at Richmond Hill The Creative Writing Class began as part of the Renaissance Program at Magnolia Manor, Richmond Hill in 2005. It proved to be a great success with residents bringing in poems and memoirs, sitting down and swapping stories to their heart’s content. Stories are shared, writing is read aloud, and memories become vivid once again. Joan Smith, a retired English teacher, facilitates the class along with her husband, Dan. Below is a poem written by resident, Helen Eisenberg. Lord, Speak to Me Father God, speak to me what you would say, Speak not too boldly, less I faint from fear, Tell me again that you love me, That to you I am very dear. Thank you for those words, So palpable to my spirit. Now what would you have me do? Nothing? Did I hear you say “Nothing!” Pictured left to right, front row: Betty Hudson, Helen Szymd, Miriam Moore, and Joshua Lee. On the back row: Joan Smith, Bill Moore, and Joan’s husband, Dan Smith. Did I hear you say: “Be!” What shall I be? “Be like I am.” You are love, Can I like thee? Only if you help me can I care. Can I look into a neighbor’s eyes and care? What causes that harried look, that evasive eye? Are your life painful? I pause in prayer. A son is going off to battle, A daughter runs away, A mother’s mind is slipping, Oh, what can I helpful say? Our God is all around us. He whispers low to me. He puts His arms around you He says He is a friend to thee. Creative Writing teacher, Joan Smith, holds a book written by Joshua Lee. Instill into my brain, my thoughts, my heart, Love, sweet kind love, truthful, free. Unshackle my mind from hatred. I would love to be like Thee. — Helen Eisenberg 6 Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com NATIONAL DAY OF Prayer Residents of Magnolia Manor in Macon gathered for a special program on the National Day of Prayer. After a brief devotion and prayers for our nation, residents enjoyed a wonderful musical program performed by members of the Middle Georgia Home School Chorus. The chorus, which meets for practice once a week, provides musical enrichment for home schooled students ages 10 to 18 throughout the Middle Georgia area. Students shared both choral numbers and instrumental performances. The instrumental performances included violin, piano and guitar with several of the students sharing original compositions.

Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com 7 MOULTRIE RESIDENTS Mentoring Students Residents from Magnolia Manor South have been enjoying time in the classroom setting through mentoring and enriching the academic progress of Sunset Elementary School students. Now, nearly three years later, the volunteer program has become more rewarding than anyone ever imagined. Residents say that their time with the students are very rewarding. “Seeing the look on the children’s faces when we visit is indescribable.” Because the program has been so successful, visits have increased from once-a-week to twice-a-week with each visit lasting nearly an hour. Retired mothers and teachers residing on-campus at Magnolia Manor South have had the opportunity to rekindle a deep-rooted passion for children and learning through this mentoring program. Choir Kicks off Tour at Magnolia Manor Americus First United Methodist youth choir performed for the residents at Magnolia Manor of Americus. The choir tour began at Magnolia Manor and then went on to perform at Calvary Children’s Home in Atlanta. The choir enjoyed interacting with the residents at Magnolia Manor to kick off their trip. 8 Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com Mother’s Day May 9 th Her touched warmed you....

The arrival of Spring is always beautiful in the Golden Isles when the azaleas burst into bloom and individuals emerge from their homes to enjoy the coastal breezes and invigorating sunshine. Many get involved in this reawakening by planting seasonal flowers, fruits, and vegetables, creating a kaleidoscope of color. Mr. Shearouse, pictured above with his daughter Mrs. Pease and Sadie, is excited about being able to get back out and “get in the dirt!” Residents of Magnolia Manor of St. Simons are certainly no different as they enjoyed a pre-Easter treat with the recent blooming of beautiful tulips planted by the Sea Oats Garden Club. Club member Sandra Hochwald commented, “We wanted to provide an expression of the beauty of the new season for the Residents and hardy tulips seemed the appropriate choice. They’re often seen blooming up through the snow, a sign of renewed life after the often bleak days of winter!” The brilliant canary yellow blooms offered a stark contrast against the dark greenery just beginning to regain its brilliance. Our sincere thanks goes to Glynn Landscaping for donating the gravel and potting soil for the project and to Ace Hardware who offered their bedding plants at buy-one-get-one-free! Above, Faye Young, an active member in Magnolia Manor’s Red Hat Society, also enjoys gardening. And when all the planting at the Nursing and Rehab Center was finished, Mrs. Helen Brinkos, pictured above, took a seat on a memorial bench, flashed a huge smile, patted her legs playfully, and commented, “It’s all just so pretty out here—and everyone is just so nice!” Pictured above, to the right, Mr. Claude McGahee, well known especially in his native McIntosh County for his green thumb gift, is now totally back in his element. Preparing the soil and the planting of seeds had to be “just so” and residents are now anxiously awaiting the crop of fresh vegetables he is tending. 10 Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com Pictured above are residents, George Anderson and Fred Pruitt. Magnolia Manor Americus Tea Dance A group of residents from Magnolia Manor gathered one afternoon for a Tea Dance downtown Americus at the Nancy Jones School of Dance. Nancy Jones along with Ruth Jones and several of her friends hosted this lovely event. The Magnolia Manor residents had a great time dressing up and showing off their dancing moves. They danced to all types of music including fast beat music, slow, romantic music, and even the hokey pokey! Everyone enjoyed finger foods, socializing, listening to lively music, and dancing. What a fun way to bring in the Spring! Pictured above, Jean & Jim Stimpson enjoying themselves dancing. Pictured above are Ruth Jones and Betty Jones.

NOMADS is a mission outreach ministry of the United Methodist Church through the General Board of Global Ministries. The NOMADS program offers persons with recreational vehicles the opportunity to share their time and skills in United Methodist projects, including churches, camps, mission agencies, disaster areas and local neighborhoods. Four couples, Lee & Bill Miller, Robbie & Ted Johndrow, Donna & Don Hoff, and Joyce & David Mills along with Robert Smith made up the team of NOMADS selected to help the Richmond Hill campus. Administrator, Rich DeLong along with his staff and the residents look forward to this group coming each year not only because of what they do, but because of who they are. “The NOMADS not only bring their skilled hands and hearts of labor to Magnolia Manor each year…. they continue to foster a caring relationship with both our staff and residents. It’s really not about the ‘free work’ that they provide — it’s more about making a connection with people and a positive change in the lives of many for His sake, and in His name,” says Rich DeLong. Among the tasks accomplished were painting apartments, replacing ceiling tiles, repairing potholes in the parking lot, and striping the parking lots. “The list goes on and on… the NOMADS get more done in 3 weeks than we could in an entire year,” says Jennifer Franks.

They also collect the goodness and compassion of their postal customers who participate in the NALC Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive — the largest one-day food drive in the nation and probably the world. Led by letter carriers represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers (AFLCIO), with the help of rural letter carriers, other postal employees and numerous volunteers, the drive has resulted in delivery of nearly one billion pounds of donations to community food banks and pantries over the past 17 years. Carriers collect non-perishable food donations left by mailboxes and in post offices and deliver them to local community food banks, pantries and shelters. Nearly 1,500 local NALC branches in all 50 states are involved in the drive. Many Magnolia Manor residents from the Americus campus have saved canned goods to be able to “give back” to others they say. It is really neat to see the residents coming together to contribute to a good cause such as this food drive. Pictured above is resident Kathleen Pope, who contributed to this food drive. The mail carrier, Gloria Harltley, for the Magnolia Manor of Americus says, “Every year, the Magnolia Manor independent residents are major participants in the USPS Stamp Out Hunger food drive.” Gloria’s route gets the most donations in town, and our residents are a big part of that. She had already emptied her truck once, and it was filled up again just from her stop at the Manor. She said, “It’s so much fun coming here— it’s like an Easter egg hunt… I love to see people blessing other people.” Food being loaded on the dock at the post office Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com 23 Magnolia Manor Non-Profit Organization U.S. Postage PAID Macon GA Permit No. 417 2001 South Lee St. Americus GA 31709 NEWS AT MAGNOLIA MANOR of St.Marys g g Afternoon Tea Ne w P iano St. Marys’ ladies enjoy an afternoon tea party on May 1st at Magnolia Manor.
