Adopt-A-Grandparent Program

The Adopt-A-Grandparent Ministry of Simply H.I.S. Ministries is a newly structured, Christ-centered outreach designed to restore dignity, joy, and a sense of family to elderly residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities—particularly those who receive little or no visitation from family or friends. Through intentional relationships, consistent visits, and donor-supported gifts, the ministry ensures that no senior feels forgotten. Each resident is “adopted” through a loving partnership of volunteers and supporters who together provide companionship, encouragement, and tangible expressions of care.

Our Mission:

To reflect the love of Jesus Christ by adopting elderly residents into a spiritual family—providing consistent companionship, meaningful connection, and thoughtful recognition on birthdays and special occasions—so every senior feels seen, valued, and loved. 

Core Activities:

    • Resident Adoption & Consistent Visits
      Trained volunteers are paired with residents and commit to regular visits, building trust and meaningful relationships through conversation and presence.

    • Birthday & Special Occasion Recognition
      Through donor-supported adoptions, residents receive cards, flowers, and small gifts on birthdays, holidays, and milestone moments—delivered personally on behalf of their “adopter.”

    • Companionship & Conversation
      Volunteers offer one-on-one engagement: listening to life stories, sharing laughter, offering encouragement, and simply being present.

    • Engaging Activities
      Interactive activities such as games, reading, music, arts and crafts, and light group gatherings promote joy, mental stimulation, and social connection.

    • Spiritual Care (As Desired)
      Prayer, scripture reading, and faith-based encouragement are offered respectfully to residents who welcome spiritual support.

     

    Values:

    The Simply H.I.S. “Adopt-A-Grandparent” Program is rooted in Christian values, including:

    • Christ-Centered Love – Serving with the compassion, humility, and grace modeled by Jesus Christ.

    • Dignity & Respect – Honoring every resident as valuable, regardless of age, health, or circumstance.

    • Consistency & Commitment – Building trust through reliable presence and long-term relationships.

    • Compassionate Service – Meeting emotional and spiritual needs with empathy and care.

    • Community & Partnership – Uniting volunteers and donors to work together as a spiritual family for the elderly.

     

    Impact:

    The Adopt-A-Grandparent Ministry brings measurable and meaningful change to the lives of seniors. Residents experience reduced loneliness, improved emotional well-being, and renewed joy. Facilities benefit from increased resident engagement and morale. Volunteers grow in compassion and service, while donors witness the direct impact of their generosity through personalized giving that touches real lives. 

    Conclusion:

    The Simply H.I.S. Adopt-A-Grandparent Ministry is more than a visitation program—it is a ministry of restoration. By combining faithful volunteers with caring donors, the program creates a bridge between generations and a living expression of Christ’s love. Together, we ensure that our elders are not forgotten, but honored, celebrated, and embraced as cherished members of God’s family. 

    How It Works

    The Adopt-A-Grandparent Ministry exists to ensure no senior feels forgotten. Through a simple, loving process, we connect elderly individuals with compassionate volunteers and caring donors who help restore dignity, joy, and a sense of family.

    We partner with nursing homes and assisted living facilities to identify residents who receive little to no family visits. Each senior is enrolled with full respect for privacy and facility guidelines.

    Every enrolled senior is paired with a trained Volunteer Advocate—a caring individual who commits to regular visits, conversation, encouragement, and prayer (when welcomed). This consistency helps build trust and meaningful relationships.

    Supporters can adopt a grandparent by sponsoring:

    • Birthdays

    • Holidays

    • Monthly encouragement

    • Special occasions

    • Full-year care

    Donations fund cards, flowers, small gifts, and comfort items that are given on the donor’s behalf, allowing seniors to feel remembered and valued.

    Volunteer Advocates deliver donor-provided gifts during their visits, sharing kindness, listening ears, and heartfelt encouragement. Each visit is a reminder to our seniors that they are not alone and never forgotten.

    Every visit and gift is carefully tracked. Donors can be confident their generosity is used with integrity, and volunteers document visits to ensure consistent care and follow-up.

    This ministry is not a one-time moment—it is an ongoing commitment. Through prayer, presence, and compassion, lives are uplifted, loneliness is eased, and hope is renewed.

    You Can Be Part of the Story

    Whether you give, visit, or pray, your involvement helps turn isolation into connection and loneliness into love.
