Spiritual Life

“We welcome residents of all faiths.”

The Cliffs at Eagle Rock is a premier Assisted Living Residence serving the needs of the elderly to the highest standards and believes that people thrive best when souls, as well as bodies, are nourished. At The Cliffs, we provide many opportunities for spiritual sustenance: “We believe in serving each resident as a unique individual who has been created in the image of God and therefore is worthy of receiving genuine respect and dignity throughout the aging process.” (excerpt from the Mission Statement)

The Cliffs provides many opportunities for our Residents to become involved in spiritual sustenance. Below is a sampling of our activities that nurture the hearts and spirits of Cliff’s Residents:

Service to others has become a priority for The Cliff’s residents as well. The desire to share in different ways with those in need of good cheer has led our Activities Department to foster a desire in our residents to offer a helping hand to others.

Cliff’s Baking Club prepares cookies for the homeless

 

Here are examples of some of the generous activities of our residents in year’s past:

  • • Annual “Lap Around the Cliffs” Campaign:  Residents have raised hundreds of dollars to fund several projects over the years through their efforts to walk laps around The Cliffs. This Fundraiser has enabled them to send a child to camp, donate to The Cliff’s Angel Fund, and donate to OPERATION SMILE, an organization that provides surgery to children with cleft palates.
  • Baking Club:  Our club started in 2010 when a group of ladies, under the supervision of staff, began baking for others. Recipients of The Cliffs Baking Group include local homeless shelters, shelters for abused and homeless children, Soup Kitchens, several Military Platoons overseas, and even for our Haven residents.
  • Annual Salvation Army Thanksgiving Drive:  Cliff’s residents are eager to plan, shop, and package groceries for families at Thanksgiving. They also take up collections to present to the Salvation Army.
  • Operation Christmas Child:  Cliff’s residents and their families donate to this global program sponsored by the Billy Graham Association.
  • Star 99.1 Christian Radio “Support Our Troops Campaign:  Residents were excited to help sponsor goodie bags for soldiers being shipped to overseas locations, filling them with a “Taste of Home” along with much-needed personal supplies.
  • Residents have also assembled school kits for WORLD VISION distribution overseas.
