During our recent visit in China our people were able to visit a nursing home. We were all a bit surprised and pleased at how pleasant it was! The entire place was very clean and kept up very nicely. There were beautiful flowers planted outside with a pretty fountain in the garden area where residents could sit and enjoy the beautiful day.
Inside, potted plants decorated the hallways. At the door of each room was a picture of the room's resident. We were told of the many weekly activities that were planned for the residents. We even heard about the menu and were almost hoping we could join them for the next meal!
The nursing home is place where a nearby church does outreach. The Pastor announced at the end of their service that there were two openings: first for church members, then for the general public. They told us that a high ranking city area official was so impressed with the facility and staff that he had arranged for his mother to live there!
It was very obvious that the residents enjoyed living there. Several were in the garden area and greeted us with warm smiles and hugs that we will long remember!
