Adopt a Grandarent is a ministry for ANYONE to volunteer for. The youth, the young adults, the middle aged, or even the older saints. Here are some guidelines for you if you feel lead to VISIT the nursing homes.

*If you need an address for some of the residents, call your area nursing home and ask for the activities director-she will be glad to be of help to you!

*If you plan to visit, call the Activities Director and she will walk you through the ropes.

Please email me and let me know to add your name to the members of "Adopt A Grandparent"

God bless you on your venture!

1. Pray for the Lord's guidance and direction and make sure He is calling you and that your are not being influenced by guilt or pressure from someone else.
2. Discuss this matter with your Pastor and ask for his prayer and advice.
3. Find a partner to pray with and to assist in the ministry. Visiting by yourself can be overwhelming.
4. Pray about which home to start visiting. It would probably not be a good idea to visit a home where a relative resided. It is a good idea to start with just one home and to visit it weekly. In this way, you get comfortable with the surroundings and the residents remember you between visits and look forward to seeing you.
