00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.000
see these beautiful trees. Oh my
goodness sakes. Yeah, we got some

7
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:37.159

Now, we have a big day coming

00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.600

it Veterans Day, but it's a day

and our founders Betty Sammer and Mary
Lou Bork will be there. A whole

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.400
lot of our employees are board and
the community. They're going to be there

16
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.319
and we're excited to see everyone in
that space. It's Trick County Tech Event

17
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:23.000
Center Saturday morning at nine pint thirty. Jim Bridenstein will be the guest speaker.

18
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.719
And you know, Jim is a
former NASA administrator administrator and also our

19
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:34.400
Oklahoma US congressman, so we're excited
to hear his talk and also a veteran

20
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.519
Navy flyer. Yes, he is
a Navy pilot. Yeah, so we're

21
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.680
going to have a great time.
Now. I understand that tickets are getting

22
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.359
kind of slim, so we got
we got to kind of cut this off

23
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.400
at noon today. At noon today, if folks have not called to RSVP

24
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.920
or purchased their tickets online, we
won't be able to see them Saturday morning

25
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.599
as a walk in. So they
need to make sure to call Elder here

26
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.319
today nine one eight three three six
eighty five hundred or log on to our

27
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:06.799
website about Eldercare dot org, forward
slash breakfast and purchaser tickets. And that's

28
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.240
noon today, Wednesday, the eighth
of November. Cats, you goes,

29
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.439
wake it up, Golly, I
gotta get this done now. We're going

30
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:19.400
to have a special thing following our
breakfast it's going to be a special open

31
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.479
house. Tell us about it.
Well, it's open to the entire community,

32
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:27.479
and we're going to continue the celebration
with celebration cake. Our program spaces

33
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.439
will be open for self guided tours, Our staff and board will be there

34
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.120
to answer questions and just meet and
greet. And of course, if someone

35
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:40.080
didn't want the online giving experience but
they wanted to bring their donation to Eldercare,

36
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.199
that's a good time to do it. That's at Eldercare twelve to twenty

37
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:49.919
three Swan Drive on Saturday, November
eleventh, beginning at noon till two o'clock

38
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.639
in the afternoon. And one thing
that's really cool about that you can see

39
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.199
where your donated dollars are going and
all of the different things that make eldercare

40
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:06.319
new virtually every week because it's constantly
evolving to meet the changes, to meet

41
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.719
where seniors are at the moment,
you know. And I'm proud to say

42
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.919
that we have taken twenty twenty three
as an opportunity to retool our programs,

43
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:22.319
to make our programs more accessible to
individuals in the community, and not just

44
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.800
to the elderly and those over sixty, but there are families, you know,

45
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:31.439
if they're an adult caregiver and their
parent is aging and experiencing some cognitive

46
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:36.159
decline and they're looking for services.
We're here for them. We're here for

47
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:40.039
the entire family, and we've retooled
our programs. In twenty twenty four is

48
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:46.240
going to be a great year of
describing those and letting the community know more

49
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.439
about them. But yeah, Elder
Care is here for the community in all

50
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.240
stages of aging in place. Well, you just said the magic we're at

51
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:58.719
aging in place. We're not a
residential care facility, not by far back,

52
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.879
quite the opposite. We want to
make sure that you can live independently

53
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.800
as long and as safely as possible. That's right, and that's our mission.

54
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:13.479
For forty years, we've been fulfilling
that mission of keeping aging adults independent,

55
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.360
happy and healthy in their own environment. That is really a special thing.

56
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:23.160
And this is something that forty years
ago no one was doing, absolutely

57
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.639
no one. And thanks to our
founders many of you can meet on Saturday.

58
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.920
Yes, that they had that forward
thinking that hey, why don't we

59
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:35.319
why don't we do this? And
it's like at the big aha moment and

60
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.560
a lot of folks been kind of
trying to catch up. But we all

61
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.639
work as a team in our community
to make sure everybody gets what they need.

62
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.519
And this is where elder Care really
shines. And I think that's what

63
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.120
I really love about my job and
the world of development. You know,

64
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:57.439
it's always changing and flexible, and
you find what needs to be done,

65
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.279
what maybe we should be doing differently, that we need to do, or

66
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.639
maybe what we need to stop doing. And I'm so proud of our history.

67
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.839
Many of the board members who served
on the board over the past forty

68
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.560
years will be with us on Saturday, and I hope that they understand how

69
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.920
much we appreciate their thoughtfulness, their
service. Many of them, you know,

70
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.319
it was a labor of love for
them for many years to make sure

71
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.319
elder Care is here for the next
forty years. Oh indeed, and this

72
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.279
is a great way to help ensure
that it goes on for the next forty

73
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.759
With the day of Giving, we're
going to take a quick break. We'll

74
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.720
be back with Angie and a little
bit more on the big day coming up

75
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:42.839
Saturday for Eldercare. After these messages
from gat Real Ministries, Tall Grass Motors

76
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:47.199
and Art more Nique Ampupil Home.
The first conversation I have with someone's loved

77
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.800
one, I don't care if it's
three o'clock in the afternoon or three o'clock

78
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.879
in the morning. That first conversation
is, mister X, this is Tim

79
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.240
Howe with Arnold Mornee Camp funeral Home. First of all, so let me

80
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:03.040
say I'm very sorry we're having to
have this conversation right now. And to

81
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:09.839
the nth degree, those people always
appreciate you taking a moment to just pause

82
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.680
and say, I'm aware that someone
you care about very much has just left

83
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.959
you, and I'm sorry that we
have to do this, but we have

84
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.319
to do this. And if it's
three o'clock in the morning, I try

85
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:26.319
to be brief but concise and say
do you have any questions or anything I

86
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.439
can do for you right now before
we meet at our arrangement conference. And

87
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.920
sometimes I say, you know,
can you call my priest? Can you

88
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.000
call my pastor? And I don't
mind doing that. It'll be all right.

89
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.920
We'll walk with this together, lad
More, and we can't un sevent

90
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.600
Dewey Bartelsville. We will walk through
this together. Is it time to start

91
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.079
thinking about a new car? But
the thought of dealing with the large dealerships

92
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.240
is just too intimidating, too confusing. There is an easier way, tom

93
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.720
Grass Motors. Tall Grass Motors doesn't
play all the confusing games a large dealerships

94
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.000
play. Tall Grass Meaders has continually
been voted Bartlesviille's best used car deal year

95
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:10.120
after year. Goodbye Tallgrass Motors today
and enjoyed looking at over sixty used cars,

96
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.120
tracks and SUV's all price to save
you money Tallgrass Motors Highway seventy five

97
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.439
North in Bartlesville. Hey everyone,
this is Pastor Rando and Pastor Shiloh with

98
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:24.480
Gibreel Ministries and this is your give
real minute must Everyone has heard the scripture

99
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.560
John three sixteen, for God so
loved the world that he gave his only

100
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.560
begotten son, that who's ever should
believe in him should not perish, but

101
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.360
have everlasting life. I believe that
that scripture is really of no avail if

102
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:38.160
not followed up by the very next
scripture John three seventeen. For God did

103
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.319
not send his son into the world
to condemn the world, but that the

104
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.639
world through him might be saved.
And that is the foundational scripture by which

105
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.120
Getrael Ministries is founded. Come worship
Jesus with us Sunday's ten thirty am,

133
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.639
underneath that roof we've got a lot
going on. Right. Doctor Gerrold used

134
00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:00.799
to toil all by himself, but
now he's got company and and more people

135
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.159
can now take advantage of our medical
clinic. Yeah, absolutely, and that

00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.840
is our partner CHC in Oklahoma Community
Health Clinic. They're based in Kansas,

137
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.720
but we are the clinic for them
in Bartlesville, and they have a whole

138
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:20.080
staff of individuals that work with doctor
Jerrell, including nurse practitioner Ronda Line.

139
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.399
Many of you know her. The
practice manager is Desiree Drake and she's from

140
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:30.240
Nowada, so you'll recognize her when
you see her. But we also have

141
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:35.120
Foundation Therapy Specialist, which is an
outpatient therapy service that's wonderful, boy,

every time you pop in for a service

146
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.440
or you know, just to come
out and visit. I mean good gravy.

147
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.440
It's kind of where the cool kids
hang out. You know. That's

148
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.799
what I like this, Yeah,
because I've heard that term from people whose

149
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.639
relatives will go to Daybreak, right, you know, that's where the gang's

150
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:16.039
happening, That's where it's that's where
it's all at. They still love communicating

151
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.240
and having fun with one another,
kind of giving each other the business every

152
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.519
now, you know, you don't
need to stop living, you know when

153
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.840
we're here to help people continue to
live their best life, whatever that looks

154
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.720
like for them. And Daybreak is
an experience where they can come in during

155
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:35.879
the day, have a healthy lunch
and snacks, therapeutic activities including art classes,

156
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.759
engagement with other peers, games,
cognitive games, and also exercise.

157
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:48.159
So a lot better, just a
lot better. Maybe that just your outlook

158
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.000
also, you know, yeah it
does. Also during the I know we're

159
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.399
having what feels like a little relapse
of summer for a couple of days,

160
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.519
but it's it's going to be what
it's in. But in the summertime it

161
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.960
gets hot. And during the COVID
we had the cool room, right,

162
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.159
but we need some We need a
little bit more help for the upcoming summer,

163
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.240
don't we for the air conditioners room
units. You know, with COVID,

164
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.799
we were not able to have the
air conditioning units that were loaned out

165
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.679
returned to us. COVID restrictions kept
us from doing that, so we had

166
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:28.039
to replenish our supply of window units
and the community just stepped up. Thanks

167
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.320
to Kato will Win and the great
story you ran. I mean overnight,

168
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.000
we raise the funds we needed for
our twenty twenty three cool room project,

169
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:41.240
and we do that every year.
Those who are using the air conditioners return

170
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.879
them to Eldercare and we keep them
in inventory for the next year. But

171
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:50.399
we're always looking for support for special
projects like the cool room project, and

172
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.120
we do have helpers that go out
to help our seniors in the home of

173
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.000
they need that, yeah, you
know, they'll do light housekeeping, they'll

174
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.440
run errands, and everybody needs a
little bit of help, especially as we're

175
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.600
headed into the holidays. You know, we may need respite care, we

176
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.120
may want to have our loved one
taken care of during the day. That's

177
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.080
what Daybreak does. But if we
need help in the home, you know,

178
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.200

we need a little help with errand's

179
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.240
or housekeeping. That's what in Home
can help us do. So that's great.
