Caring for seniors truly takes a village. Nearly 300 full- and part-time caregivers and support staff, both on the front lines and behind the scenes, ensure that residents receive the highest quality care. Nurses and CNAs make up a large portion of Immanuel Living’s caregiving team, but chefs, wait staff, accountants, housekeepers, maintenance technicians, recreation coordinators, fitness instructors, and many other professionals all have significant roles to play. Immanuel staff members care deeply for residents, and every day demonstrate their commitment to the highest quality of service. In recognition of that devotion, three funds were created to support professional development and provide help for them in times of crisis.
We invite you to join us in honoring these exceptional individuals by making a donation to one of three dedicated funds. These funds will directly benefit our non-salaried staff across various departments, recognizing their commitment to excellence in service. These funds, distributed annually in December, will directly benefit our non-salaried staff across various departments, recognizing their commitment to excellence in service.
- All Employee Recognition Fund – As you’re aware, Immanuel Living is a continuum of care, serving residents who live independently, those in assisted living, individuals requiring memory care, and those in need of round-the-clock assistance. This fund is dedicated to honoring all non-salaried employees who support residents across our Buffalo Hill Campus.
- Terrace Gratuity Fund – The Terrace Gratuity Fund honors non-salaried employees supporting the The Villas, The Cottages, The Terraces, and The Lodge.
- Retreat Appreciation Fund – By donating to the Retreat Appreciation Fund you honor the non-salaried employees working at The Retreat where residents receive 24/7 care. Some of these residents are Medicaid qualified and have only $2,000 to their name yet still receive high quality services, no matter their ability to pay.
No matter which fund you choose, your generosity will make a significant difference in supporting our employees and enhancing the quality of care provided to our residents. We are extremely grateful for your support.
We are dedicated to supporting our employees and helping them to progress in their professional goals. By donating to the Employee Development Fund, you support our Educational Assistance Program. Eligible employees can apply for tuition assistance through his program three times a year while working at Immanuel Living. These funds help us support the professional advancement for individuals who otherwise may not be able to afford the costs of an education, while simultaneously enhancing their abilities to improve the lives of older adults. When you give to the Employee Development Fund, you support the personal and professional development of caring, compassionate people who work every day to make the lives of seniors brighter. Development funds have made it possible for Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) to advance in their profession to Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and for LPNs to become Registered Nurses (RNs). Other staff members have applied their scholarships to achieve associate’s and bachelor’s degrees, and still others to develop professionally through the pursuit of graduate courses of study. Below are testimonials from scholarship awardees:
“This scholarship not only alleviates the financial challenges of my studies but also inspires me to continue pursuing my passion for nursing with dedication and excellence. I am committed to making the most of this opportunity and using the knowledge and skills I acquire to positively impact the lives of others, just as you have impacted mine.”
“Your giving is a blessing to me and my family and it will empower me to be a blessing to my future patients.”
“Thank you for supporting me as I pursue my dream of becoming an RN. Nursing school is certainly not easy and there is a lot of work ahead of me in my final two semesters of the program. Your generous gifts not only pay for my tuition, but they also serve as encouragement.”
Occasionally everyone falls on hard times. The Foundation is committed to providing safety-net funds to employees who have a serious health event, a home or auto emergency, or other unforeseen crisis. The Employee Christ Care Fund, overseen by the Pastoral Care Team, provides emergency grants to staff members in need. A gift to this fund ensures that those who have devoted their lives to taking care of older adults are also cared for in their times of crisis.
