Community Number One!

As the holiday season approaches, we want to encourage you to reach out to your loved ones and invite them to Crossroads at Northglenn. Invite them for a meal. Invite them for an activity. We have such a vibrant community and sharing it with those we love will grow our community even more.

It has been such a great summer for growing Crossroads Northglenn. For our new residents, welcome. We encourage you to join our monthly Resident’s Council meetings. This is where you will learn of special activities, share any concerns you may have, and celebrate our caregiver staff member of the month.

The holiday can be difficult for some of you. But it is especially hard on those who haven’t seen the light and joined our community. Remember, we offer an attractive financial incentive to you for your referrals that move into Crossroads Northglenn. Be sure to talk to Diana about the details of this offer. Thank you for making Crossroads at Northglenn Best of the Best seven years in a row.

Have a great October.

Update from Maranatha

Charles Eddy was bored. He had been cooped up in his home with his wife Nadine through six weeks of last year’s Canadian winter, and he wanted something interesting to do. His wife, hearing about a Maranatha project at Camp Hope, a retreat facility in British Columbia, signed him up. “I needed something to do,” said Charles. The camp, local to Charles and Nadine, made it easily doable. On the work site Charles smoothed out the freshly poured concrete on the main walkway. He was one of more than 30 volunteers who worked on a number of renovations, from painting to flooring to light electrical to installing panels on a massive ceiling. In just two and a half weeks the group accomplished a long list of tasks.

This was Charles’ first project. But not likely his last. Says Nadine, “He called me every night from the project. He was happy working: He was meeting new friends.” And Charles says, “It was a beautiful experience. I really enjoyed the fellowship and the love of the different participants.”

Maranatha Volunteers International, a non-profit, Christian organization, mobilizes volunteers to build churches, schools, water wells, and other urgently needed structures around the world. To learn more, scan this code, go to www.maranatha.org or visit the Maranatha channel.

Sam goes to the doctor for his yearly checkup. “Everything is fine”, said the doctor, “You’re doing OK for your age.” “For my age?” questioned Sam, “I’m only 75, do you think I’ll make it to 80? “Well” said the doctor, “do you drink or smoke?” “No” Sam replied. “Do you eat fatty meat or sweets?” “No,” said Sam, “I’m very careful about what I eat.” “How about your activities? Do you engage in thrilling behaviors like speeding or skiing? “No,” said Sam taken aback, “I would never engage in dangerous activities.” “Well,” said the doctor, “then why in the world would you want to live to be 80?
