We Reach Out - Ministry With The Aging

A group of Emmanuel volunteers have been visiting the residents of Mountainside Senior Living in Crozet twice a month for the past 15 years.

We take with us music, cookies, smiles, pats, hugs, and a willingness to listen.

Some of the residents do not have visitors on a regular basis and this group gives each one something to look forward to. Anyone who loves people and can give an hour twice a month, please join us.

Do you play an instrument or sing? There is a place for YOU in our Emmanuel Mountainside Group - see you there!

For more info please contact Margaret Washington at 540-456-6334.

About Mountainside Senior Living
Managed by the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA), Mountainside embraces the philosophy of The Eden Alternative. The Eden Alternative transforms a conventional facility into a human habitat - an environment that is as home-like as possible and incorporates residents fully into the care giving process. Principles of The Eden Alternative include:

• creating a spontaneous environment for residents
• encouraging plants, pets, and visits from children
• providing companionship by promoting contact between residents
• placing the greatest possible decision making power with the residents and those closest to them
• emphasizing the need to improve residents' quality of life
