Eldercare - A very special ministry.

The Foundation is committed to helping our elderly clients maximize the use of their resources for personal care needs. In many cases, our Vice President for Ministry regularly checks on the clients in our Elder Care Ministry to insure that they have life’s necessities and to share a cup of coffee and have a word of prayer.

The quality of one’s life is of utmost importance in every decision made on behalf of our clients. In some cases, a client is no longer able to care for themselves because of either a terminal illness or advanced stages of Alzheimer’s. By preplanning their estate and future personal needs, these faithful Baptists insure that their wishes will be
carried out.

The services provided to individuals are varied. Some clients may only need a phone call or a personal visit every now and then and they remain in full charge of their financial or health care needs. They draw comfort in knowing that should a period of temporary or permanent incapacity occur, they have everything in place necessary for a family member or The Foundation to speak with their health care providers on their behalf or insure their financial assets are looked after.

Generally, individuals come to The Foundation through word of mouth from others already touched by this ministry. The Elder Care ministry is what makes The Foundation unique as a Trust Agency. In many cases, we work in conjunction with a family member or members and serve in a support role handling the business aspect of one’s health care or other needs. These services may include employing or paying sitters. The Foundation’s administrative role may include the Durable Power of Attorney, the Advanced Directive for Health Care which includes the Living Will and the Health Care Proxy, and a Living (Revocable) Trust.

Have you prepared your estate for the possibility of sudden or gradual incapacity? There are certain measures you can take which will help you have peace of mind from knowing that should incapacity come, you are prepared. If you believe we can be of service to you, please do not hesitate to call. We can be reached at (334) 394-2000.
