Assisted Living’s Songbird

Christian Care Communities of Middletown has many wonderful residents who make their home in one of their Assisted Living suites.  With all the comforts of home and surrounded by her favorite things and family photographs, Wanda Strader, loved living at Christian Care.  Her daughter, Linda McGinity Jackson, explained the house her mother lived in was wonderful for a busy family, but it became time to downsize from a “too large” house where her safety and upkeep just got to be a  daily concern.  “When mom arrived, she was eager to meet her new neighbors and staff and give them a tour of her new home decorated with her favorite furniture, photos, and keepsakes – it was all exactly what she needed,” said Linda.

Part of what immediately drew Wanda and her family to Christian Care was the on-site spiritual care programs and staff Chaplain.  This supported her love for singing and faith which was important to Wanda. Because singing has long been one of her favorite hobbies as well as something that connected her to her church family, you could often hear Wanda’s sweet voice in the chapel with sing-a-longs and harmonizing with special guest singers. The staff and other residents came together and nicknamed her “songbird” because of her beautiful singing that made everyone smile.

Linda shared, “We could have chosen any senior living community to care for mom, but my husband and I have been donors, volunteers, and I’ve served on the Board of Directors at Christian Care. I knew she would love it here.” Linda went on to say the mission supported by a Faith Care Family atmosphere at Christian Care is what sticks out the most to her.  Wanda’s family were so grateful for the compassionate caregivers who went above and beyond to exceed the residents expectations, making it truly feel like one big family.

At Christian Care Communities of Middletown, we are incredibly blessed to offer residents both Independent Living and Assisted Living. This compassionate community is more than a place to live, it is a place to call home.
