Nursing Home Activities and Hospice

Attending church services isn't always an option when living in a retirement home. What a lovely gift you can give when you help residents praise and worship in their own personal way with the beautiful HymnServe accompaniments. You will create immense enjoyment for Seniors when you bring out their familiar and well loved hymns. It reminds them of earlier days and sitting in the church pew with their families and friends. Their singing is enhanced when they can sing along with a beautiful piano and organ just like they are used to for backup.

The hymns can also be used for background music. During mealtime or when arising on a Sunday morning, how pleasant to hear the gentle strains of 'Amazing Grace' or 'In the Garden.'

There are church services in many places besides church buildings. Here is a note from a person who is responsible for the services in a retirement home.

The music is wonderful, key is perfect for older voices, and me to lead it, I haven't been able to use it still setting up the program (just had some minor surgery on my hand so when healing is done, I will start). I will stay in touch and thanks for asking. I am very pleased and will order more this week.

Hospital and hospice patients so appreciate a hymn that reminds them of what heaven will be like. They need the comfort of the special steadfast love of our Lord, and the songs will remind them now when they need it the most. How comforting to have the words brought to mind, "When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be" or "'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at his word."
HymnServe can make the hospice experience so much richer as related in the following example.

Mrs. Johnson I am the pastor at a small church in Indiana. We have a dear sister who is on her death bed and ready to be with the Lord. She is so blessed by the hymns that I left her hospice room in search of a CD with the hymns that she loved so much. What a blessing it was when I found your WEB sight full of all of the beautiful music so wonderfully played. As I thanked Jesus for His guidance and direction I copied the hymns to a CD and it was taken to her room. What a blessing to see a person at the place in life where she is and to see her remember the words to these spiritual songs. Thank you for the work you do. I will make sure that everyone I know has your web address.

God Bless, Pastor Doug in Indiana

The CD "A New Song in the Morning" is excellent for those who are suffering. Depression and mental or physical pain is so debilitating. When we go to visit those who are suffering, this CD should go along and be given away. While listening to this gentle and comforting music, it is entirely possible that a person can reach for the hem of our Lord's garment and be healed. We all remember how David, the shepherd, learned to play so well when he practiced out in the pastures while watching sheep. Later when the King got upset and agitated, it was David who would play the music that could sooth and heal these bouts of depression.

This CD is in limited hospital gift shops and hospice locations now. If you would like to download individual songs from the CD, you can do it on this site. If you would like the CD itself, you can find it at www.amazon.com. If you would like for it to be stocked in the hospital, retirement home, or hospice close to you, you may talk to managers about contacting us by email at orders@hymnserve.com.
