The Power of Intergenerational Connection

The Power of Intergenerational Connection

Research shows that both groups: young and old benefit from relationships that thrive in the context of age and generational differences. At EPAGA, we too recognize the importance of intergenerational connection in our own lives, and in the lives of our clients. Additionally, we know that community and connection is important to the heart of God, and strive to hold ourselves to His standard. Here are some ways that you can create meaningful connections with the older adults in your life, especially during the holiday season.

A Thrill of Hope

A Thrill of Hope

This year has been undeniably hard, and the words from a Christmas carol: “a weary world rejoices” land a bit differently this year in all of our hearts. Yet after all we’ve witnessed, felt and experienced in the past several months, we refuse to believe that we are short on hope at EPAGA Home Care. Rather, we rejoice in the hope that we see and experience each and every day around our office.

EPAGA Up Close: Julie Brubaker

When considering the chance to build something new, Julie asked Inga: “Can I do this on my own?” to which Inga replied, “Not without me!” From that point forward, they jumped off into the unknown, and they’ve been in it together ever since.

Julie is thankful that Jesus came as a servant, and asked us to do the same. He served those around Him on the basis of agapé love, and as Julie said: “If you don't have a love for people, you can’t be an effective caregiver.”

EPAGA Up Close: Inga Lake

Inga has been part of the EPAGA family since the company’s founding date in 2007, and while she’s one of the owners, she also operates in the role of CFO. Similarly to many of her fellow staff, her passion for home care is derived from a personal narrative and experience. In our own conversation she reflected back on the season in her life when her grandfather fell ill, and it was important to both him and his family that he was at home during a difficult season of life. In light of this, Inga was given a front row seat to the harsh reality of just how hard it is to find an adequate care provider, and an excellent one at that. Because of her grandfather’s situation, she began to learn what home care was, and began to realize the exponential need for quality care provision.
