Community Circle - Fall 2022

Letter from the CEO

Dear Friends,

What an amazing year! It’s been almost a year since we changed our name to Centrica Care Navigators to highlight the services we offer as your community-based, nonprofit partner. Our commitment to you and the communities we serve is steadfast and we are grateful for your support and confidence.

As a community, we’ve been able to resume gatherings and we have been honored to see so many of you at our recent community events, including Golf ‘Fore’ Hospice, Butterfly Release, and the theatrical presentation of Mitch Albom’s “Tuesdays with Morrie.”

As an agency, we are grateful that in-person grief groups for adults and children have resumed, Centrica Adult Day is open, and the number of families who trust us with end-of-life care has grown. Thank you for your confidence in us now and over the past 40 years!

Thank you.

Kelly McCormick
Chief Executive Officer
Centrica Care Navigators

Fall Feature Story

Centrica Adult Day Keeps Her Active

Joyce Gearhart has always been athletic. She’s been part of teams throughout her life, from basketball in her school days, to softball on the team at church, to the bowling league she’s on right now. She’s doing well so far, with a 125 average — she does better than her husband Dick and her son, and has even collected trophies for her bowling success.

Joyce is also a guest twice a week at Centrica Adult Day, where she is living with mild dementia. Dick is her caregiver. He brings her on Mondays and Fridays, so she has a chance to get out of the house and interact with other people. It’s also a good time for him to run errands, or as Joyce jokes, “I get out of his hair!”

Though there are many activities available at Centrica Adult Day, it might not be a surprise to learn that the ones Joyce likes best are the ones that keep her moving. Putting a jigsaw puzzle together might take her several hours. She would rather spend the time walking around the building in our Portage office, or playing an engaging game like balloon volleyball. Some people who are less mobile sit to play, but Joyce is on her feet, sending the balloon up and over the net.

Centrica Journeys

Art, friends and important feelings

Centrica Journeys returned to meeting in person this year. Our grief support counselors and trained volunteers met with children, teens and their families to explore their feelings and make new friends.

Journeys is available for ages 5-18 at no cost to participants. Additional support for parents and caregivers is available.

Volunteering

Sharing your gifts as a volunteer

James has been fishing since the 1930s and, thanks to our volunteer Bruce, he plans to keep fishing for as long as he can.

James is a Centrica Care Navigators patient who has been with us for some time, long enough to let people know he’s a lifelong fisherman. Bruce, a Centrica Care Navigators volunteer, is partnered with James so he has companionship during the day. Bruce has been a volunteer for the past 12 years, and agreed to meet with James since they both enjoy fishing, and they like talking with one another, too.

We’re always looking for people with different skills — not just fishing! We want our patients and guests to get all the care they deserve. Barbers and cosmetologists, for example, are always helpful (everyone needs a haircut now and then!). Volunteers bring their dogs to visit with patients. Volunteers help with our Story Catcher program, recording patients and guests telling the story of their lives and recalling favorite memories.

Many Centrica Care Navigators volunteers discovered us when one of their loved ones started receiving care. They had a good experience, and appreciated the compassion they saw in the volunteers and staff who worked with them.

Each patient has a doctor, nurse and other medical care staff who manage their physical health and their illness. Volunteers don’t have to be doctors; instead, they’re asked to be friends — a comforting companion for our patients to talk with.

It’s easy to become a volunteer — whether you fish or not!

Become a Volunteer

“Knowing your gift is a key to being a successful volunteer, and then sharing those gifts is something (people) will always remember,” says Bruce, a Centrica Care Navigators volunteer.
