Health Center
|
|
|
The Christian ministry of the Health Center staff and volunteers is a very important ingredient in the lives of the residents, their families and friends. The ministry of loving care is our response for what Christ has done for us. Our goal is to help the elderly retain their dignity and self-respect by encouraging independence and by providing creative approaches to care within a secure and stimulating Christian environment.

At Maple Lawn we focus on a holistic approach to care that meets not only the residents' physical needs, but also their mental, emotional, spiritual and social needs. Medical services available include intravenous, physical, occupational and speech therapy. The staff assists the elderly to recover from an illness or injury and to retain their dignity and self-respect by encouraging independence. The unique inter-generational program between the residents and the children from Noah's Ark Children's Center has proven rewarding for both the elderly and the young.

Our residents' spiritual needs are a deep concern as evidenced by our two chaplains on staff. They visit with all residents to assist with any spiritual needs as well as leading Sunday morning worship services. Area pastors assist with the Wednesday afternoon chapel service.
The Catholic community provides weekly communion calls for those of the Catholic faith, as well as monthly Mass. A monthly LCMS communion service is also offered. Many area churches make regular visits to the Maple Lawn residents.
