Assignments for a Season Debbie Patrick

Caregiving, whether as paid staff or for a family member, can be hard work. Too often, elder care is a thankless endeavor.

If you've ever questioned whether or not you make a difference, read Assignments for a Season. Join Sara, Katie, Kristin, and Jerri at Lakeview Senior Care, a fictional assisted living facility in North Carolina, as they face the stresses and challenges of life and professional caregiving. These dedicated workers are touched by all their residents, but particularly by one: Mrs. Nancy, a cheerful, wheelchair-bound friend and mentor who helps them to see their lives and roles in a different and more meaningful light. The entire staff at Lakeview, the administrator, director of nursing, the CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants), and director of housekeeping have critical roles to play, in serving the residents and serving God.

Life can be rich and full at every stage, and each challenge you have represents a new personal assignment from God Himself - that was the philosophy of kind-hearted Mrs. Nancy. With dignity and grace, she demonstrates with her life what it means to walk with Christ and to do His will, by loving those He brings into our lives, whether for a moment, a lifetime, or a season.

See for yourself what God may have in store for your own life, as you see Assignments for a Season through the eyes of Sara, Katie, Kristin, Jerri, and the others at Lakeview Senior Care, a fictional residence in a small town in North Carolina, with lives, loves, and challenges that are very real.
