Every spring we hold recognition events for Presbyterian Senior Living (PSL) volunteers and auxiliary members to express our appreciation for all that they do to make PSL communities a special place to live and work. Volunteers come to us from a variety of sources. They include residents from our independent living, personal care, or skilled nursing center – where the idea of neighbors helping neighbors is clearly expressed.

With aging comes the need for adjusting, changing and growing. Those transitions don’t always occur smoothly. In some cases, the changes associated with aging — including physical challenges and the loss of friends and loved ones — can leave seniors facing difficult emotions and in need of assistance from a caring, supportive professional.

When you begin searching for senior living for an aging parent, the options can be overwhelming. One way to sort through the choices is to determine whether communities are nonprofit or for-profit. While all communities must generate revenue to survive, the two models offer significant variation in their driving interests, pricing, quality of care and other factors.

The subject of change may be the most popular topic in the study of leadership. After all, if the world was a static place, there would be no need for leadership. The evidence and language of change is all around us – climate change, the need for political change, educational change, social change (positive and negative), technological change, demographic changes – pick almost any topic, and the change is the focal point of discussion. We live in a world of change – but this is nothing new. All of human history has been marked by how people live and adjust to the next wave of change. Those of us who are old enough to remember the 1960’s recall the Bob Dylan classic “The Times They are a Changing” with lyrics that could be applied to events of almost every decade that has followed.

December is known as the gift-giving season. The experience of gift giving at this time can be stressful. It can also be a source of enjoyment or humor, especially if you can take a step back and consider the gift giving process beyond the cost or length of the list to be completed. I would like to provide you with a few of the insights I have gained over the years related to gift giving.
