Moving Through Life
“We miss you! Do you miss us?”
Bethany Corporate has undertaken its move to Bethany Riverview in Riverview Village over the last couple of weeks, and this has been a bit of a common refrain. Many of the corporate team headed to Riverview Village a week ago, while others remained behind awaiting their move day. We get used to seeing the same colleagues daily and it’s definitely felt different for all of us over the past week.
It’s a shared human feeling – missing people and wondering if we’re missed when we’re not around!
It made me think about our Bethany families. If we miss our daily interactions with work colleagues after just a week apart, imagine what a big life change it is having a loved one move into care and how much missing goes on in people’s hearts and minds.
That’s why Bethany’s model of everyday excellence is so vital. We all play a part in helping residents and families move through their life transitions. We journey alongside them as they miss each other and the way things were before. Our staff and volunteers give families a sense of peace and comfort that their loved one is cared for and safe. Our donors make it possible for Bethany to add a dog park, a garden or an art program that brings some of those things that are being missed back to the everyday experience of our residents.
Our move to Riverview Village will enable our corporate team to be closer to the residents and families we serve every day and to live into the mission of Bethany more fully. We’re excited for the journey ahead!
Thanks for all you do!
