It’s Time To Recognize Our Residents

Have you heard about CAREcorps? The CAREcorps program has several goals – to train and engage residents in volunteering on Campus as well as recognizing the residents that do wonderful things for each other are the first steps.  The resident Services Teams, which includes Dining Services, Independent Living, Gift Shop, Life Enrichment, Publications, Spiritual Life, Success Matters, and transportation, has come together to create this new program as part of the Campus' WIG (Wildly Important Goal) program for fiscal year 2016.  Staff are already aware of the Radical Hospitality program and the “shout outs” you see regularly where staff and residents share feedback about the wonderful work staff is doing.   The CAREcorps program will have its own way of lifting up residents going above and beyond for others.  The CAREcorps movement is for everyone to highlight a resident who you feel exemplifies the CAREcorps philosophy.  We see those residents who are leading committees and representing the beatitudes Campus on a daily basis, but we also have residents who are hard at work behind the scenes caring for others' pets, watering plants, picking up mail and even cleaning others' apartments while they are away.  Each month at the resident town hall, the CAREcorps team will be choosing two residents from the Hospitality Box (located in the Recreation Room in the Administration Building) to highlight.  Each resident who has been recognized will receive a copy of their note brought right to their door. 

Now it's your turn to join this Campus movement! If you've seen a resident community member who should be recognized, stop by the Recreation Room or Gift Shop and fill out the CAREcorp hospitality form.  Once you're finished, slip it in the box labeled CAREcorps and watch our community of caring grow that much larger.  Together we achieve much more!

Thank you!

Author Info: Beatitudes Campus

At the foundation of Beatitudes Campus is the vision of Church of the Beatitudes pastors and congregation members to create a better alternative for older adults than the nursing homes of the early 1960s. The type of community they imagined was the first of its kind in Arizona. Beatitudes Campus is proud to continue the legacy of our founders, by being a leader in the field of aging services for over 50 years.
