💌 It’s Valentine Time at Baptist Village! 💌

That special season is back, and we’re once again inviting the world to help us brighten our residents’ days—one Valentine at a time! 🌍💖

Last year, you helped us collect 504 Valentines (yes, we counted every single one 👀). Think we can top that this year? We’re feeling ambitious.

🗺️ Each Valentine we receive earns a mark on our map, showing just how far kindness can travel.

📬 Send your Valentine to:
Baptist Village
c/o Activities Department
2650 Carswell Ave
Waycross, GA 31501

Whether it’s a card, a note, or a simple message of cheer—your Valentine will mean the world to someone here. Let’s see how far we can spread joy this year! 💕

💙 A Thoughtful Gift for Our Residents 💙

Ms. Holli Sweat, Administrator, on behalf of The J. Olan Jones Healthcare Center, was delighted to receive a special donation of calendars from Mr. Jerry Buckley and Mr. Derek Harrison of The Waycross Magazine.

Thanks to their generosity, every resident will now have a calendar in their room—and these aren’t just any calendars! Each one features beautiful images of familiar and beloved locations right here in the Waycross area. 🌅

We are truly grateful to Mr. Buckley and Mr. Harrison for thinking of our residents and helping bring a little local beauty into their daily lives. Thank you for making a difference!

Great staff + great work + ZERO deficiencies = reward time! 🎉☕🐔

On Tuesday and Wednesday, January 27–28, Baptist Village staff were treated to a large, made-to-order coffee from Red Oak Coffee Company and a warm, delicious chicken biscuit—because excellence deserves fuel.

Red Oak Coffee Company (out of Nicholls, GA) is run by amazing people, and their coffee? Let’s just say… we’re already hoping they come back. 😄
It may have been cold outside, but it was perfect weather for great coffee and gratitude.

A big thank you to Dr. Eric and everyone who helped make this happen. Well done, team—you earned it!

On Monday, January 19, residents at J. Olan Jones Health Care Center enjoyed a special visit from the South Georgia Modern Quilt Guild. The group presented an informative program along with a beautiful quilt show featuring handmade quilts and unique fiber art pieces they created.

Our residents loved sharing stories, asking questions, and spending time with the presenters—both named Sarah—who were incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming.

The South Georgia Modern Quilt Guild also raffled off two stunning handmade quilts to residents in attendance. Congratulations to Ms. Willie Hamm, winner of the red and black quilt, and Ms. Sylvia Turner, winner of the floral quilt!

Thank you to the South Georgia Modern Quilt Guild for a wonderful and memorable visit.

Arthritis Care in Winter
❄️Cold weather can worsen arthritis symptoms, causing stiffness and joint pain. Stay comfortable by keeping joints warm, using gentle stretches, and staying active indoors. Small movements can make a big difference! 💪👐

Connecting With Seniors
A simple visit, a warm conversation, or even a shared activity can make a world of difference for seniors. Staying connected promotes emotional well-being, reduces loneliness, and creates joyful memories. Take time to reach out and show you care! 🧡👨‍👩‍👧
