Chasing the Son When You Pray JUNE 2023
By Dave Parker, Chaplain
New Social Services Designee finds joy, meaning in her role Chasta Cleveland recently joined Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America (PMMA) as the new Social Services Designee. It’s a challenging role, but one she truly enjoys and finds rewarding. “I complete one-on-one visits with residents, perform social histories and trauma assessments, manage discharge planning, monitor resident behavior, and ensure residents' rights, address grievances, and abuse prevention,” Chasta said. Additionally, Chasta plays a vital role in organizing the Resident Council and assisting with care plans to help residents achieve their goals.
Chasta Cleveland
Chasta, who started her employment with PMMA just in February 2023, enjoys getting to know each resident and their family through her one-on-one visits. She loves learning about each resident's history and building bonds with them and their families. “Each resident is special,” Chasta said. “I enjoy everyone that I have been able to visit with. Sometimes all you need is a smile.” Working closely with other departments, Chasta collaborates with case managers to enhance the quality of care provided to each resident. She establishes meaningful connections with residents and is dedicated to promoting the best quality of life for each resident. In her personal life, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, especially at the lake and playing outdoor games. She has been married for 12 years and has a stepson, two children, and three grandchildren. Buddy, her half black lab, half German Shepherd dog, also keeps her company. Chasta is excited about this new role and the opportunity to make a difference in residents' lives. Help us welcome Chasta Cleveland to our PMMA team!
Matthew 6:56. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. Dave Parker For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Scripture teaches we can’t take anything for granted. Every day; every breath is a gift. A gift we don’t deserve but are granted it by the grace of God. And it takes a large dose of humility to recognize that. Only God in His divine omniscience knows what tomorrow will bring. That’s why we place our trust in Him. Our hope lies in His ultimate goodness. Day to day, your life may stink. You may face hardship after
