2020 VISION “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Proverbs 29:18
20/20 VISION…
As the proverb says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” A community
residence must accommodate and adjust to the alterations in its residents’ cultural
and physical needs. As we sought what would best help current and future residents
live lives filled with dignity and purpose, we wreathed every consideration in prayer.
Turning to our mission statement for guidance, we created a program of enhance-
ment and innovation to be the launching pad for further transformations. We seek
God’s wisdom to see clearly what He would have us do for our community, working
faithfully and conservatively to keep in stride with the changing needs of our industry.
MEETING NEEDS…
We have asked, “What can we do to
meet the changing needs of our elder
population?” Increasingly, we see the
issues of dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease,
and Parkinson’s Disease continue to
reduce the quality of life for elders and
their families, and we research living
conditions and methods of dealing with
these life-altering circumstances that might have a positive impact on the people we
serve.
A VISION FOR 2020…
The year 2020 is approaching. In early 2015, we began a capital campaign to
address improvements, services and programs, construction, and the endowment
necessary to maintain these additions. We plan for the majority of this work to be
concluded by 2020, setting the basis for future changes as needed thereafter.
MAKING PLANS…
In this booklet, you’ll see our plans for the future. We
can’t do it alone. As a part of the greater community,
we are asking for the help of our friends and neighbors.
Please peruse this booklet, consider the plans, ask
questions, and then, prayerfully consider what you might
be able to do to help in this process.

Component #1: Memory
Care Assisted Living
Many folks with dementia and
other memory issues do not require
nursing assistance for the majority
of their struggle with the disease. A
secure assisted living environment
might see these folks through the
majority of their journey with a
greater quality of life.

Component #2: Programs
and Services Enhancing quality of life is a people
service, whether it be creating more,
and more varied, activities for those
with memory issues, or providing
transportation to appointments,
events and shopping.

music, movies, and other
communication forms. 7
Component #3: Campus
Enhancements
Like any dwelling place, our home
requires continual updating and
refreshing. Vehicles occasionally
must be replaced; walking paths
need night lighting; residence
rooms, as well as common rooms,
need a facelift; even signage has
to be updated from time to time.

Component #4: Endowment
As our buildings and vehicles
age, it is prudent to put in place
an endowment to see to its
refurbishment, so that a working
fund’s assets can attend to the
updates in the future.

What will it cost?
The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also
reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will
also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has
decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under
compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
