Just a shout out!
It's always good to hear good things, so tonight I am going to take a few moments yo mention one.
We have had several tours the last couple weeks, from other ALF homes to Facility settings, to Guardians, and consultants, along with applicants.
Hope has had it share of negative talk, we know it, we own it. It's always going to be there! It's a part of society, it's easier to look at the negative things, conflicts, etc.
We are in the business of helping others. And sometimes, it doesn't always go as planned. Residents and staffing. It happens, we try to learn from our mistakes, mishaps just plain problems. Isn't that what we do? What we all do!
We work to improve our services. BUT, the biggest thing we have been focusing on is helping others find their "happy". "How can we help people find a purpose in this world we call life?" How can we help some one help them selves to be happy, especially when that happy may have been stripped from us thru a sickness in our brain.
HOPE has been going thru growing pains, residents and staff. Changes here and there. BUT, when we have a tour that results in so many compliments, and a tear of HOPE, darn right I am sharing it and I am going to give credit to where it deserves to be given---the staff and Residents of HOPE WYMORE! And I quote:
"How do you do it, you have something special here Pam, you can feel it in this home".
MY Response to her:
"It's the staff, it's the residents, it's the community, from the churches to the Fire and Rescue to the Doghouse bar, to our wonderful Superfoods and more." "We truly have a great community, and we aren't special we are just Hope! We have ups and downs, and have been thru a lot in 3.5 years."......"Some really, really stressful things."
Her response...."it's such a small community, how do you get the support?"
My response: "I guess it helps knowing we are all just a phone call away, and we treat the people that live at Hope as a community members, cause they are".
So, to all the staff and residents and The Wymore Community! Great JOB FOLKS....it's all YOU!
Thank you for your continued support even to our imperfections and mistakes we have made along the way!
God Bless You All!
