Suzanne joins assistant director of life enrichment Jeanice Harrington at MorningStar of Happy Valley, a senior living community outside of Portland, Oregon. Today they’re talking about how to improve quality of life and bring joy to senior living residents at MorningStar every day. One of Jeanice’s favorite activities is leading an in-house Bible study hour with the community on Thursday mornings. It’s an inclusive program for people of all faiths and backgrounds. They read a chapter per week, then discuss how it applies to our life today and what we can get out of it. She researches ahead of time to gear the conversation to the residents and what they’re going through in their stage of life, and really make it personal for them. As we age, we look for connections that have more meaning in our lives. If you or a loved one is considering moving to a senior living community, come to one of their Bible studies. A lot of residents also invite their family members to come. MorningStar of Happy Valley is located at 14391 SE Princeton Village Way, Happy Valley, OR 97015.
