Versailles Health
Care Center Honors 2014 Homeward Bound Graduates
Versailles Health Care Center, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation
center, recently held a Homeward Bound Graduation to honor the 185
patients they helped return to the community in 2014. The
Homeward Bound programs help patients return to their homes or to their
maximum independence level. Homeward Bound rehabilitation
programs include: Cardiac Recovery, Continence Improvement,
Contracture Management, Fall Management, Orthopedic-Fracture Recovery,
Outpatient Therapy, Pain Management, Patient and Family Training and
Education, Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Respiratory Specialty, Stroke
Recovery, and Wound Care and Skin Management. Homeward Bound
graduates in attendance renewed friendships with each other as well as
with staff members, and received diplomas and medals.
Mr. John Schmidt of Senior Servants, Inc. was the guest speaker for the
graduation. Schmidt shared his story with the group which began
while he was serving as the City of Greenville, Ohio’s Safety-Service
Director. During that time, he had the opportunity to speak with
many senior citizens within the community who needed assistance with
minor home repair and maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, and other
tasks, but were either unable to find anyone interested in doing the
work, or were unable to afford to have the work done. For
many of these senior citizens, family members resided
out-of-state and were unable to assist them. After retiring, the
needs of the seniors were still weighing heavily on his heart. It
was apparent to him that a Christian, faith-based ministry was needed
to assist seniors, age 65 or older, at little or no cost to them.
This would allow the seniors within the community to feel more
confident in trying to maintain their independence and remain in their
homes. After much prayerful consideration, the Senior Servant
ministry was initiated and received its first request for
assistance. Since that time, Senior Servants, Inc. has
established its own financial account and hundreds of volunteer
man-hours have been given to the seniors within the Greenville and
Darke County, Ohio, area. The number of seniors contacting Senior
Servants for assistance has continued to increase, as has the number of
volunteers contributing to the organization. For more information
