Adopt-A-Grandparent Program

The Simply H.I.S. “Adopt-A-Grandparent” Program is a compassionate and faith-driven ministry aimed at bringing love, companionship, and spiritual support to elderly residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Rooted in Christian values, this program is a testament to the belief that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, deserves to experience the love and care of a spiritual family. Through heartfelt interactions, acts of kindness, and shared faith, we aspire to create a profound impact on the lives of those who may feel isolated and in need of a loving community.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to provide elderly residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities with adoptive “grandparents” who offer companionship, Christ-centered love, and support. We seek to create a family-like environment where residents can grow spiritually, feel cherished, and find solace in their faith.

 

Core Activities:
  1. Adoption and Regular Visits:
    Volunteers from Simply H.I.S. “adopt” residents as their honorary grandparents and commit to regular visits. These visits provide residents with companionship, a listening ear, and a sense of family, nurturing their emotional well-being.
  1. Birthday and Special Occasions:
    We celebrate residents’ birthdays and other special occasions with Christian-themed cards, flowers, and small gifts that reflect their faith. These gestures emphasize the importance of their spiritual journey and their role within our community.
  1. Faith-Based Activities:
    Our program organizes spiritual activities such as prayer sessions, Bible studies, hymn singing, and devotional readings. These activities offer residents opportunities to strengthen their faith and deepen their connection with God.
  1. Meaningful Conversations:
    Volunteers engage in one-on-one conversations with their adopted “grandparents,” sharing faith stories, offering emotional support, and praying together. These interactions are a source of spiritual comfort and reassurance.
