An Opportunity to Support the Stikkers
Posted by jledmiston on February 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment
We have a wonderful opportunity to spend time with Dave Stikkers at his new residence – Sunrise on Duke Street.
As most of you know, Dave Stikkers is a 41 year old leader in our congregation with frontal lobe dementia. This transition has not been easy as the staff at Sunrise cannot provide 24-hour minute to minute oversight.
If you would like to spend An Evening with Dave for a 3PM-7PM or a 7PM-7AM shift sometime over the next two weeks, please contact me at jan@fpcusa.org. We already have volunteers for tonight and tomorrow night.
The overnight shift involves simply sleeping in the recliner in Dave’s room and spending time with him if he awakens. The 3PM-7PM shift involves just hanging out and having dinner with him if you wish. There is no physical or medical care required at all. No administration of medication, etc. Just stay with him and make sure he isn’t disturbing the other residents.
It is a blessing and a pleasure to be able to share this time with Dave. And it will give Dave’s family and the compassionate Sunrise staff some peace of mind.
Is there a shift you would like to offer in the next two weeks?
Thanks and blessings this Lenten Season – Jan
