Greenville Post Acute

We had a special delivery for our staff from some very sweet children from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Thank you for bolstering our spirits this week! We can’t wait to decorate our lobby with these.

Sending all of our thanks to Amedisys for spreading sunshine this week by putting on a window parade for our residents.

🌸 Thank you to Susan Shupe with Homestead Hospice who went above and beyond to create some beautiful artwork to brighten our residents’ week leading into the Easter holiday. Families are welcome and encouraged to come decorate their loved ones’ window areas during this time. We are happy to assist if needed. Happy Wednesday! 🌸

We invite our brothers and sisters of all faiths to join our team in a global day of prayer and fasting for relief from the COVID-19 pandemic this Good Friday.

We truly have the best staff. Here they are forming an assembly line to make dozens of masks. These will be worn by our employees involved in non-direct resident care. It takes a village and we love ours.

A call for prayer to our Greenville Post Acute family.

Many around the world today are joining together to pray for relief of this deadly COVID-19 Virus. We’re calling on our GPA family to join in a day of prayer today. We pray for protection for our residents, staff, and everyone’s family to be sheltered from this virus and for all throughout the world.

Please join GPA in our prayer. May God bless us all.

Thank you Alison Hughey for singing your heart out with our residents and for making hallway karaoke a new “thing”. We were one of the first nursing homes in South Carolina to isolate our residents in an abundance of caution for their health. Recent days have seemed long for some of us but this was a beautiful distraction.

Dear Friends and Family,

We are in search of activities for our sweet senior residents who are physically isolated from their families and from each other at this time. Their health is imperative to us physically but mentally as well as we uplift them with engaging activities.

If you have any of the following items, please consider donating them to our residents.

- Magazines
- Books
- Games
- Board Games

Donations may be dropped off at our front entrance (seen below). We are located at 661 Rutherford Road in Greenville. Thank you for your kindness!

❤️❤️❤️

Even though visitation is restricted at this time, staff suggested an alternative. Here, a resident’s granddaughter tells her grandfather that she’s engaged! Emotional and memorable, for sure!! Thank you Carly Boyd, for allowing us to capture this special moment!!

Coronavirus Update:

President Trump addressed the country this evening on national TV. In his remarks, he advised nursing homes for the elderly suspend all medically unnecessary visits.

These are short term precautions to save families in the long run.

Please help us spread the word and protect our residents, families, and staff. We continue to pray for everyone’s wellbeing.
